Unfortunately, the Surface is a 3:2 screen, and TOTH doesn't support that ratio in any of its set options, so I can't go to full screen. (And when I run the game on my desktop, in full screen mode, the game gets really sluggish.)

<t> I'm running into a couple of odd problems and am hopeful that there are solutions or workarounds.<br/>
<br/>
1) Because of the peculiarities of my system (a Surface laptop with a 3000x2000 screen), I have to play in Windowed mode - that is the only option that works. The problem is that I can ...

<t> The arrow keys is what brought me to ask the question. When I use the arrow keys, after a few keypresses I get the Windows alert beep every time I press the key again. For some reason the game is reporting that the key buffer has overflowed.<br/>
<br/>
Click-drag with the mouse has no effect ...

<t> Hm... I can't get mine to do that. I have to run the game in a window because going full screen creates a lot of input lag, and moving the mouse to the edges of the window or beyond doesn't pan the screen at all.<br/>
<br/>
Correction: I can get the map to pan up (mouse at the top of the ...

<t> What is the best way to pan around a map? I've tried using the Jump Map but since a mouse click sets the upper left corner of the box, it's hard to use the Jump Map to get to the left side of the map (since you only have about a pixel or two of play for the mouse click). I've also used the arrow ...

Got it, thank you!

Sorry, I wasn't clear. I can find UPDATE6 but the top message there says that UPDATE5 has to be installed first, and I can't find UPDATE5.

Thanks, I did end up finding the updater to 1.1.09 on the Matrix game page. Now just need to hunt down the updates needed to get up to UPDATE6...

If that's the case, where do we find the earlier updates to get from the current released version to the current beta?

Yes, just download the zip-file, unpacj and intall in TotH directory. The versions mentioned in the text refers to older Beta versions.

Just to clarify, to install UPDATE6 you do NOT need to have installed ...

<t> The game updater appears not to be able to download any updates, and the base install from my purchase today is 1.0.06, I believe. The updater wants to update me to 1.1.09 but it fails to download, and I see also that there are versions beyond that one (most recently UPDATE6). But UPDATE6 ...

I'd be happy if they improved the display routines that currently exist. Opening a window is like watching a Commodore PET draw in LOGO, or a mid-1980's movie's idea of gritty computer realism. In other words, fix the draw delay! Then, high quality versions of the sprites that already exist.

That does help, thanks!

<r> Is there an identifiable pattern to how the AI does upgrades to ship designs, if you automate it? Presumably they upgrade to the latest module of each type (blasters, shields, etc.), but do they also <I><s>[i]</s>add<e>[/i]</e></I> systems that previously weren't found on the ship? Do they add ...

You misspelled "Continental" in the planet type names.
