Re: BOTF installers 2.0.3 (released 3-31-2023)

Just to be clear does the proxy also work with this compat setting? Yes, I used the just proxy installation option "Add Proxy for Fullscreen display". I have not used anything else, none of the tools like dxwnd. After installion I only set the compatibiliy settings as shown in the screens...

Re: BOTF installers 2.0.3 (released 3-31-2023)

So, it does indeed work using the compatibility settings:

I tested this in windows 10 and 11. On windows 7 it works out of the box without the need of the compatibiliy settings, thats intersting.
Would it be possible to have this settting somehow set automatically by the installer?

Re: BOTF installers 2.0.3 (released 3-31-2023)

Yeah the trick with using the 1.0.1 first for tools and shortcuts works better. The issue with the scale must really be somehow addressed, since nowadays more and more people are using it compared to earlier. I wonder if perhaps the compatibility settings might help with the scale issue. Will test t...

Re: BOTF installers 2.0.3 (released 3-31-2023)

I don't know why you say that. The old installer was setting the paths for DxWnd correctly for me, in my case to D:\Games\botf Which were the "some locations" where it didn't work? Also with the old installer I never had issues with scaling. You say the scaling issue was always present but...

Re: BOTF installers 2.0.3 (released 3-31-2023)

Would it be possible to have the correct installtion paths set in the dxwnd.ini, and not just the the default C:\botf? This was the case in 1.0.1.

Re: BOTF installers 2.0.3 (released 3-31-2023)

Yes indeed this is the scaling. I must however say that the old installer v1.0.1 was working out of the box with its fullscreen setting and this was a much better user experience than having to mess with the scaling or to maually setup DxWnd.

Re: BOTF installers 2.0.3 (released 3-31-2023)

For me on Windows 11 Fullscreen does not work. It switches the resolution but then shows the game only in the upper left quarter of the screen.
I need to use DxWnd for things to work. And this does not have the actual installation path set but just the default C:\botf
Anybody else having these issues?

Re: Supremacy new release

Ok guys I think I found the bug making the hangings! Apparently Iceman is gone for some days, so I don't know exactly how to distribute the exe for you to check. I could PM you the exe though.. So write me a message if thats ok for you and I send you the exe to try it out.

Re: Supremacy new release

Do you remember if you have given any specific orders which might lead to this?

Re: Supremacy new release

You mean they didn't show in the Select Target dialog? yes We *can* implement the order, I'm not against it. Players will only use it if they want, ofc. Survey is one of those ideas that look good on paper, but doesn't translate so well to gameplay. Perhaps there could also be input from the others...

Re: Supremacy new release

I haven't tested this, but why exactly is it not possible? You don't get the option to establish the WP? You can't select the Borg as a target? ...? I couldn't select them as a target. Honestly, I don't know. Such an order would make surveyors somewhat moot, as you'd just build them and the AI woul...

Re: Supremacy new release

For me thats not possible no. And another question: Do we want to give the surveyor ship an auto mode? The user could activate it by right clicking on it and activate it. When activated the ship will be moved by the AI. Because the micromanagement on that is really terrible.

Re: Supremacy new release

Is there actually any reason why it is not possible to have a war pact with some other empire against the Borg?

Re: Supremacy new release

Also, I think I'll remove the destruction of all Intel PFs - it's really odd that all other PF types remain the native's, and intel switches to the empire's. Either that, or actually fix it :wink: Yeah, please! BTW, the new code is actually making a subjugated minor be able to upgrade their native ...
