I know about them, need to remake them so they stop throwing errors.

Any content mod will work, only Bacon mod is not compatible as both mods change exe, but this mod is continuation to that should not be problem

Just a quick question, where exactly do I put the two folders, 'new' and 'full'? Do I copy the contents of them into the main install folder, or the folders themselves? Then launch as normal from steam, or use new exe?

Cheers


Copy content of full folder into game main directory to install ...

There seems to be a missing sound file when a captured enemy agent joins your empire. A windows pop up appears, specifies the location of the file in effects, but doesn't say what the file is.
Latest beta release.

Edit: Also happens when a spy escapes.


Can you post error? Can't find code that ...

Thought to ask in this forum as well…

There are two categories of targeting and countermeasures, Fleet vs. non-Fleet or “Combat.”

What’s the difference between versions and how are each applied in the game?


Both affect ships, fleet just have AOE bonus. IIRC then only single module of both ...

Yes, I noticed the new Outpost base. Nice! Are the restrictions are hard-coded, or can they be altered, for example, so sensors can be put on them?

Hard coded, outpost base purpose is to give planet bonuses from Entertainment and Healing modules.

Yes, I see what you mean. But I don’t understand the last paragraph: how can you make such a “planetary” fighter base, given the current game engine? There is no way now to make a true planetary fighter base.


DWU game engine mostly non existent, it all written in C# code, no separate game ...

Well, thank you for your insight. I see your point but it’s not really a “new” unit at all. Using a scaled 0.05 to 0.10 image size of, say, any defense base makes the base appear so small that it “looks” like it could be a ground base for fighters/bombers, in addition to “look” like planetary beam ...

With current game mechanics, there is a sort of workaround to get fighter/bomber bays stationed “on planets.”

It’s actually quite simple to simulate: just design a space station or defensive base, but at a scale of 0.05 or 0.10. And there you have it!

It’s such a small station that it “looks ...

You would know better than me… I remember the game starting up correctly with a flagged 2.1.0.3. I checked the Empire Policy scroll issue which was fixed. Maybe it crashed later but I just don’t remember it doing so.


Looks like I confused Alt+Space from windows with PowerToys command palette ...

I should point out that although the 2.1.0.3 and 2.1.0.4 DistantWorlds.exe were being flagged by Windows Defender because of the PowerToys PowerLauncher process (now successfully excluded), as I recall the game did manage to start anyway. It was being flagged but the game played.

The game now ...

CaesarAug check Virus & threat protection tab, check if there is journal for detected threats and if there is info more about DWU or PowerRun.

Also have you tried to exclude PowerToys PowerRun util? Because as far as I can tell your screen shot says it blocks PowerRun app, not DWU. DWU blocked ...

Not sure where to look for a more detailed Windows Defender report... all I can see from Windows Security is something about PowerToys PowerLauncher, blocked by Attack surface reduction, using Advanced protection rule against ransomeware, specifically affecting v2.1.0.3 and v2.1.0.4 DistantWorlds ...
