Big problem with 4.12 and skins

[btasm]

It's definitely a problem which did not exist before. I can't correct it and I've reinstalled the patch.

PS: Quick combat also defaults to the Axis side, irrespective of the last mission, and to Moscow, irrespective of the last map chosen.

PPS: I've also noticed that the "default" skins have a Russian style Number 3 painted on them - all of them. On top of that, when I run the .exe to start, I also receive the "The publisher could not be verified. . ." message when I start Il-2, something which did not happen before.

The download came from the bit torrent listed here in the 4.12 patch thread. I could not download thruough Mission4Today since it required, it seems, a Mediafire account.
