Still, my Mini PC is latest generation Intel Ultra 9 185H, the onboard SSD is fast. But your hotfix seems to have corrected the music issue. THANK YOU!

If anything else comes up, I'll let you know...
Not sure why 100ms buffer cause stutter, now it 300ms across 3 buffers

Hi Alvek,

with your mod the bonus income is not ticking. Is this a bug or was it planned as the feature?

Alvek: have you ever considered the possibility of modding a maximum ship size per ship-class?

No, never thought about that.
Implementing that as modifier for base size research (like 1.05 for explorer) should be relatively simple, I think. Can't be sure without checking code.

A player-moddable maximum size limit per ship-class research was a missing feature talked about by players for Distant Worlds Universe, applicable actually to all the first series of DW games.

Not to mean that the actual sizes themselves should be fixed or hard-coded but moddable by the player just like ship sizes are now. The only difference would be a player-moddable maximum size per ship-class.

Something like this seems to be a popular feature in Distant Worlds 2.

The Bacon Mod !setdifficulty option doesn't work in Expansion Mod v1.10.01. For reference:

Is it possible to fix it in Expansion Mod ?

I tried also DistantWorldsExpanded v2.1.0.2 from the DW-UX/DistantWorldsExpanded github page but it crashes on start.
Does it have other dependencies than v1.10.01 ? Do I need to make a fresh DWU install ? (I copied the v2.1.0.2 over my v1.10.01 install)

Thanks to Expansion Mod and DWUR for keeping DWU alive.

I am at frontline right now so I can't check fix or changes so take note of that.
Try to disable option that adjust game difficulty mid game, I don't remember how it named in game start settings. But I think Roger mentioned that.

Version 2+ have dependency in archive except bacon files.
If you post crush log or error message I at least will have idea what the problem is.

Thanks for the quick reply, !setdifficulty seems to be bugged even if "adjust game difficulty mid game" is disabled.
Seems to be bugged since 2021: https://forums.matrixgames.com/viewtopi ... y#p4821063

Good luck to you.
