Yesssss, I just checked today to see if there was an update I've missed since moving - and just today!

Great work Pymous, I was glad to throw a few bucks your way for the work and can't wait to see the finished set!

Agreed, I appreciate the end of turn save.

Oh good point, the visual math of double-scale is a lot easier to parse. I've slid down resolution as well, and other than the minor annoyance of the screen resize it works perfectly well. Wouldn't mind my native if I could get it, but all in time I suspect. [:)]

bump. some more fixes made. thanks to all the people who send in reports about issues. <br/>
<br/>
also.. as you can see i am first focussing on the most severe issues encountered before addressing for example interface or control improvements ...

I actually think the fix in the beta patch is only set up for the 2x scaling option so far - on my system, no scaling runs fine (but is too small to see at full res), and 2x scaling runs just as well, but the other options - 1.25x, 1.5x, 1.75x - are all equally sluggish and stuttering.

<r> Hey Shade, I don't know if this is particularly helpful in the end, but just to give you an idea:<br/>
<br/>
I had a friend say that his first small-world game ended on turn 112 -- and based on the timestamp on <I><s>[i]</s>my <e>[/i]</e></I>autosaves, my turn 1 to turn 22 were just over 5 ...

I would LOVE that too.

Also wanted to mention that the 2x fix slowdown fix seems to work great! But the other scaling options are still sluggish - is it possible for whatever you were able to do for the 2x size UI can be done for the 1.5x and 1.25x too?

<r> I <I><s>[i]</s>just<e>[/i]</e></I> saw this in a new game - I had a decision proposed from a minor faction, tired of our "uncertain" relations and requesting to know exactly where we stood - choosing the "peace" option established our relations which formally established our borders, but I didn ...

The updates have been working well so far - and the lastplanetgenerated save-game is awesome! Thanks for that, now we can share our hellworlds [:)]

<t> Hey Novaliz, this isn't an executable patch, so there's not an installer to run - I DO get an unhandled exception if I extract the ZIP to an empty folder and try to launch the .exe, so I'm assuming that's what was happening? Running the .EXE from that zip file is basically trying to launch the ...

I'd like that too; but when it comes to scrolling, what I'd kill for is a mouse click-and-drag to move the map view around.

<r> For terrain height and the tree/road visibility: Go to Options->Graphics and set Map Detail Distance to 7. Then the terrain features will be visible when zoomed out almost to max.<br/>
<br/>
I prefer it at 6, myself, since I <I><s>[i]</s>do<e>[/i]</e></I> like the stylized map at full zoom-out ...

Wait, right -- if I'm not mistaken, at least some of the Vietnam scenarios use a different tile for "cropland" that looks more like rice patties than the more western farm-y look. I'm not totally sure how it's done, but I think I've seen it in at least one place in-game.

Honestly most of my bombardment attempts do at best 1-3% enemy losses, so I'd...maybe call that an aberration, or at least a situation that may be explained by something under the hood.

<r> The roughness is only for those willing to test the beta code. I'd safely bet money that the final patch will have an installer, as they mention scenario updates which will mean additional file drops in the User folder. But since these changes are to code that's entirely encapsulated in the .exe ...

A C4SV update? Hell yeah - thanks for the incredible work, Raindem!

Ah, thanks buddy - budd's thread title didn't lead me to think it was the same issue so I never clicked, and I didn't see anything about it in the stickied "known issues" thread, so figured (though was surprised if this were the case) I was the first to notice and call it out.

<r> EDIT: good deal, looks like there were already reports that I had missed. Thanks JPJ for the point.<br/>
