Oh great! The entire globe that wraps around, nice touch.

Hmmm… ok, is it summer 2027 already?

So I can finally let the cat out of the bag

I been working on my own game, all I can say is that it is a World War 2 game on a similar scale as TRP is in map size but very different in game mechanics. I can not share screenshots of the game at this time but I do have a team of volunteers who have ...

Coming along very nicely!

Ah, well, next time then.

Oh excellent! Happy to have helped. The fix included in the upcoming patches to the game series?

Yes, that’s it. A very quick flash. Since you’ve seen that yourself, you know exactly what I mean. Great, so it’s not “just me.”

Not sure what “black flickering” means. The issue I see can be described as a very fast “blackout” as it were, if that’s what you mean. I guess you could say the effect is as if the screen were to go “black” but only for an instant, similar to a blink of an eye. I call that flickering. But when it ...

Well, it occurs in-game, in map view, when a pop-up message appears. Again, it is occasional, random, not on one specific pop-up message or necessarily the same one every time. It might likewise occur when opening or closing a screen. When it does occur, it is a quick flickering, in a blink of an ...

I’m starting to notice occasional screen flickering in SC War in the Pacific. Though it may be actually be across the entire SC series of games, being perhaps a bit more prominent in WitP.

I’m playing on an Intel-based Core 9 185H Geekom GT1-Mega Mini PC, 32 GB DDR-5 RAM, Intel Arc Graphics (latest ...

Well, I can't get the new 1.3.6.3 update to work at all. Never happened to me before, all updates up to and including 1.3.4.3 were all working correctly. I've tried both the Steam version and the Matrix Games installer. Various uninstalls and installs. The initial Distant Worlds 2 window shows up ...

No! Look for Alvek’s Expansion Mod which incorporates the Bacon Mod. And also the DWUR Mod which incorporates both!

Yes, sublight speeds do seem a bit too fast, fun though it is, it takes getting used to. In my mods, I think I’ve managed a suitable balance: ships a bit faster than vanilla sublight speeds but not overly so. And also some moderate adjustments to fighter speeds. Seems to work out well enough. I ...

Resource availability to help the AI. Very interesting!

I just want to advise players that automate taxes to know the mod makes it so changes made to the tax policies in the policy editor are ignored in favor of keeping to the values set in ExapnsionModSettings.json.


You can disable it by setting EnableTargetHappinessTax to false in ...

Updated DWUR and DWUR-EM.

Removed TroopCompartment from all non-troop-transport ship designs across all 46 races. This includes capital ships, cruisers, and carriers (both regular and pirate variants). 126 design template files modified.

RATIONALE: The DWU AI does not load troops onto warships ...

¡Excelente trabajo! Muchas gracias.

Alvek, I've noticed that ever since official patch 1.9.5.7 introduced these new values for race policy files: ResearchDesignTechFocus1-6): 30=SuperTorpedo, 31=SuperMissile, 32=SuperRailGun, 33=SuperPhaser, when you try adding these to the Empire Policy Screen, and open it up again, the research ...

Bugfix for 2.2.1.5 startup bug

Some quick play-testing: game start-up all normal... and the alternate shipset image selection now seems to be working as it should! A GREAT update!
