The Continuum Discord Server (new)

[RSE_Chris]

i want to take part

It's good to have you, Justinus.

We're approaching 150 members now and the tournament is in full swing.

In addition, with the Infinite release date having been announced for 12th October, we're hoping to have BOTF and Infinite games & streams going simultaneously in the near future. Time will tell.

[RSE_Chris]

Hi all,

ST: Infinite has launched, and we now have dedicated sections for both BOTF and Infinite in our Discord. We hope that this will encourage cross-play, bring in new members, and help multiplayer thrive in both of these games as one community.

We're at 160+ members now, and it would be great to see more of you join us to help keep multiplayer alive (even if you just like to chat!).

Where all the botf players at? I have yet to give infinite a go in MP but I will one of these days!

[RSE_Chris]

Well, Infinite has turned out to be bit of a disappointment (understatement), but some are still playing it. We've also had some Armada activity going recently and any Star Trek multiplayer activity is encouraged, so all are welcome.

I'm somewhat amazed how enthused people are talking of it in the steam reviews.
Sad we're most likely not even going to see a single DLC update.
I liked to watch at least one single play through before I got bored.

It's very much a wasted opportunity. Such is life!

Aside from that, Flocke, we'd very much welcome you to join the Discord. Even if you don't play MP anymore, it's a great way to keep in touch with the BOTF community alongside the forums. Give it some consideration!

Thanks for the invite. If you guys were looking forward to participate modding the game, or even program, I had much better reason to join.
And not that I don't love to play this game any longer, but there is so much to fix that I rather focus my time on completing next UE release.
It is very close. Possibly thereafter I can spare some time for discord. Depends on progress with some RL stuff that is waiting on me, too...

We have a dedicated channel for modding (Utopia Planitia) with unique engineering Discord roles for modders/programmers. It's mainly TC, Rai and Tethys on occasion that discuss modding in the channel and you'd a welcome addition with your experience. Anyway, the offer is always there.

Was wondering when you would pop your head back in! lol

Enjoy rediscovering this amazing game and when the ai no longer provides a challenge let me know!

on t2 impossible starting level it is human vs AI anyway for first 200 turns so SP is not bad way to practice...

stuttering mouse pointer that would be because i forgot to put DX on? I forgot other patches came along to play since eh... 5 years ago?

You shouldnt need DXwnd anymore. The new installers have changed over the last several years. If you're having a problem with the laggy mouse pointer I think you could try to reinstall in full screen mode or if you already tried full screen mode try installing in windowed mode? If I'm remembering correctly that fixed the issue for someone else but Im not the expert on this maybe someone who knows more about this can reply and help ole ruthless ferengi get botf working again?

The Game still requires DXwnd, just new installer is using DXwnd proxy files now

Definitely makes it a lot easier for most people just having it in with the installation. Definitely preferably to how it was before

Though I still think my system is still allergic to this game somehow (maybe I'm the only person encountering this?) I will get a blue screen w/ crash rarely when launching and often the proxy files in the folder are altered somehow. Reinstall is needed after since the windowed mode goes away and mouse lag comes back.
