Thanks for the help, but I'll wait for the next update.
You still misunderstood. Extracting the images and using unzip to open the zip files are not the same thing.
If you get the original game version, not the compressed version and unzip it into a NEW folder, you won't have a folder named images or gui. These 2 folders come from extracting the file named archive.rpa with a tool named unren. Probably done like that in the compressed version of the game.
The image used on the main screen, the one with the version number is inside the archives (archive.rpa and archive_0172.rpa). The image has the same name in both archives. The game engine logic is using the one from the patch and displays it. But if you have the image directly in the gui folder, the game will always use that one and ignore the newer one from archive_172.rpa.
I hope this makes it clear now. Cost me another 15 minutes of precious lifetime typing this on my phone
If you want to extract the rpa archives, you need to copy all folders inside and overwrite everything in your game folder. If you do that, it will work 100% sure as well. If you still don't see the correct version number, you did something wrong.
