These changes haven't been introduced to the stable branch yet.

The last major update was 2.12 at the end of February; the vector command changes were added to dev branch in March. (The recent mini-update only included a few specific changes, and this wasn't among them.) For now, these changes are only available on dev branch (and maybe profiling but it's not in the changelog). They'll likely be released to stable with the 2.14 update, which is expected in the next couple of weeks.

If it's working on your local game, you're probably running dev branch. The server does not run dev branch by default and you don't mention configuring it to use dev branch, so....that'd be why it's not working on the server.

I was configured for profiling branch on the client PC and just stable branch on server. That seems to explain it. Thank you for the clarification.

I assumed profiling =/= dev branch. And I also assumed that since the server was vers 2.12.150779 and the change was (EXE rev. 150371) that it must have included those changes.

My mistake!
