Sorry, I answered to wrong thread :/ I passed that info about chat blocker to mod autor, he thinks it's good idea to enable chat via squads, so probably in next version or something.
As for dead people chat, you can try to enable them in mod config, but it will enable all dead players, not just your team mate.
yes you have bugged paths...
replace everything in paths.xml with this and you can play :)
<root>
<Paths>
<Path>profile</Path>
<Path>res_mods/0.5.0.1</Path>
<Path>res_packages</Path>
<Path>res</Path>
</Paths>
</root>
Check if your antivirus is not installing it in sandbox mode or something like that.
Make sure you have admin rights when installing.
What you have inside paths.xml (in wows folder) ?
