Hello, I downloaded the script 4.8.1, but is not compatible with Interim Apex ,

why doesn't it work ?

@ Adrian9112

Hello, WHY is your text so large? lol

Interim Apex does not need scripts updates and it should not be attempted to use the patch on that game, as doing so WILL break it. IA does not use the same version of the engine that is meant for stock Renegade and other mods, but rather has a slightly different version with some extra changes. This difference results in issues if you try to use the wrong version with the wrong game.

Hope this helps. Also please make a thread in the help forum in the future regarding any issues you have. This is the news section and we do not look for help requests here (I just happened to notice).
