ok, i have v1.02 and it still doesn't seem to be fixed

i tried your manual fix (making that .dat file and adding those lines of code) and it forced direct vobsub to load, but direct vobsub isn't recognizing that there are any subtitles present (it doesn't even give me an option to select any subtitles). i know there are subtitle streams present in this .mkv file because i've played them in media player classic and videolan (vlc)

i don't have enough knowledge about bsplayer though..............
