Do you still have issues with 1.0.8's binaries?

[sugoidogo]

I never actually got around to testing your new binaries. I'll have to re-install HWDE and get my dev env set up again (I had to wipe my pc recently)

Looks like same error in phxtool.exe

Sorry :(, I'll looking fixing it later this week (hopefully!)

Granted, I haven't tried debugging the 2018 binaries that are currently up, but running the following command with the 8th switch set to true (to decrypt the era in-place) with the latest code works:
--env=phx --tool=era --mode=expand --path="D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\HaloWarsDE\root" --out="D:\HW\HWDE\Test" --name=root --switches=00000001

Era:Expander: Switch enabled - ERA will be loaded into memory and decrypted in place
