April 30th update breaks mod and new Genie Editor saves extra data

Game Version:

  • Build: latest version
  • Platform: Steam
  • Operating System: Windows 10
  • Gamertag: wtfiwinomgs

Issue:

the latest update breaks my mod, duplicate my tech, effects, units and graphics to the new empires2_x2_p1.dat crashes the game on starting standard game single player. my mod still loads, even tried complete copy everything it still crashes such as replacing EVERYTHING in the new .dat with my old .dat

loading my old mod will have random crashes on research my custom technology to enable units which I find it’ll work, then restart game without making changes to mod will crash the game during in game while researching it.

Another issue is the new Advance Genie Editor saves additional data to .dat which I have no idea what it’s doing to my mod. my mod is 3.8 MB, using my backed up AGE3 editor open/save my mod without any changes results in same file size. using the latest AGE3 editor open/save increases my mod to 4.3 MB and causes random crashes.

Reproduction Steps:
