# The FlowV2 Amendment Was Vetoed
The `rippled` team found a flaw in FlowV2 while testing. As a result, the Ripple network has [vetoed](https://ripple.com/build/amendments/#amendment-voting) the new payment engine amendment. [Originally](https://developers.ripple.com/blog/2016/rippled-0.32.1.html), the [FlowV2 amendment](https://ripple.com/build/amendments/#flowv2) was planned to replace `rippled`s payment processing engine with a more robust and efficient implementation. It was previously expected to become active on Wednesday, 2016-08-24.
A corrected version of the payment processing engine has been created and is now undergoing further testing. It is scheduled to be included in a future version of `rippled` as an amendment called [Flow](https://github.com/seelabs/rippled/blob/6466629f935821583eeddadbd06fabd9ea0875d0/src/ripple/app/main/Amendments.cpp#L50-L51).
This demonstrates the robustness of Ripples amendment process. The review period and governance code with vetoing working as intended.
## Action Recommended
No action is currently required. However, Ripple recommends that validator operators also veto the FlowV2 amendment to ensure it does not regain a majority.
To veto the amendment, add the following, single line, under the `[veto_amendments]` stanza to the `rippled.cfg` file on validators:
