Our current host feels we are putting too much of a strain on their server.

I guess it's positive news as well as it seems that popularity of modded BOTF is rising.

Great news, congrats TC and thanks to AFC for the support all these years!

Great seeing progress on the AIO-AAO installer! Anything that makes installing my fav BOTF mods instantly gets my vote.

Oh how far we've come, I still remember the day when I was just plain happy to have an installer for the vanilla BOTF.

Other than the "no spaces allowed in install directory" bug highlighted above, all else are working great for me on the laptop! Saves a heck of a lot of time downloading all the mods and patches and etc. Now just for all the mods to be updated and completed...hehe :D Thank you Thunderchero!

Thank you for putting your time into this, TC. Am downloading as I post.

DxWnd picks up the custom directory automatically, no problems there.

Anyway, thank you for keeping BOTF alive, TC and the rest of the AFC crew.

Ok, so I confirmed re-writing the stbof.ini works for me on a fresh install. I installed my 1.0.3 BOTF in the following folder D:\Games\BOTF\ so my stbof.ini reads the following: CDPATH=D:\Games\BOTF\ HDPATH=D:\Games\BOTF\ It did not work in the earlier testing as this path is case-sensitive. I'm us...

Ok, I copied 1.0.2 stbof.ini to overwrite the 1.0.3 stbof.ini and it works, something about the stbof.ini settings. Will investigate further.

Thought it did, but i did a fresh install of 1.0.3 and did the change again, didn't work.

Try changing 1.0.3 stbof.ini
CDPATH=C:\botf\
HDPATH=C:\botf\

to your game installed directory.

Followed everything up to this point with no success either. I've made a backup of 1.0.2 files that are non-existent in 1.0.3, pasted the extra 1.0.2 files into the 1.0.3 installation folder and still no success. Replaced 1.0.3 trek.exe and stbof.res with 1.0.2 trek.exe and stbof.res with no success...

looks like files are all there. :???: stbof.res 93.1 mb? does crash log have any info? DxWnd you use fullscreen or windowed? could I have a little info on system desktop, laptop? screen current resolution? video card info? have you tried re-installing? Hi, TC, sorry for late response. Here are the ...

I'm running Windows 10 Pro, thus the need for DXWnd.

I have 50 files in my BOTF folder (using English install). Please see attached image.

Thanks for the quick reply, thunder. I can confirm that there is a green dot next to BOTF in DXWnd, and I've confirmed that it is pointing to the BOTF trek.exe file correctly. I have also tried launching the game without DXWnd, but it does the same as DXWnd - nothing. For both scenarios (with and wi...

Hi thunder, I wiped my install of BOTF clean to install this, but found that launching DXWnd windowed for vanilla BOTF just does not launch the game at all. No pop-ups, no taskbar notifications...any idea what is wrong? I installed with all options selected (running Windows 10 laptop with switchable...
