BOTF installers 2.0.3 (released 3-31-2023)

[Spocks-cuddly-tribble]

what OS are you using? XP?

Yeah, the new installer also sucks on C64's running BASIC interpreter as OS....

If anyone has experience running BOTF in CrossOver on a Mac, perhaps you can help me. My last Mac was a late 2020 M1 MacBook Air. The BOTF installer worked perfectly, as did BOTF. I recently upgraded to a 2023 M3 MacBook Pro. Now, BOTF installs in CrossOver but crashes when I start it. The support person at CrossOver believes that it may be a resolution problem. I tried installing BOTF in 800 by 600 and in 1920 by 1200 with the installer, but had the same result. Now, the specs for the Air list three supported scaled resolutions. The specs for the Pro show none. I don't know if the scaled resolutions are relevant for BOTF or not. Other Windows apps, like Civ IV, run fine in CrossOver on the Pro. Any thoughts as to what I might try? Is my Pro simply not compatible with BOTF?

I have a Surface Go 2 that does run BOTF just fine, so I'm okay either way!

This is the error message I get when launching BOTF:

Hello, new computer, back here after a while, used the top mods installer to install UDML, now how do i install MPR++ on top of it?
Where do i get MPR++?

Edit: I found a link frpm 2016 in my PMs; would that work with UDML3.0.1dd3?

[leonard]

Sorry das ich auf deutsch schreibe, aber mein englisch ist leider zu schlecht.
Ich habe seit dem BOTF_Top_10_mods_2.0.3 installer das Problem, dass mich die KI Gegner nicht mehr angreifen. Mehr als 6 gegnerische Zerstörer habe ich nicht mehr in meinen Systemen gehabt. Auch planetare Angriffe der Gegner gab es nicht mehr.
Nur über Sabotage werde ich angegriffen.
Gibt es eine Möglichkeit die KI wieder etwas aggressiver einzustellen? Gerade wenn mehrere überlegene Gegner angreifen macht das Spiel spaß.

Neuinstallation habe ich schon probiert, funktioniert aber auch nicht.

Danke für eure Hilfe und die großartige Arbeit an allen mods die es gibt.

Gruß
leonard
