Net play or main game

Post by bo »

Is it possible for the posters when they are having a problem to please state if they are having trouble with a net play game or the main game [solo] so we know where to look for the problem.

Totally true, I am reading the bur complains of the posters and I think most of them come from:

1 - Slitherin website. The communication is horrible and while one computer (the active side's) goes on doin, the other does not receive data, cause the comm has fallen and it doesn't come back till you both reload the save. Because of this, when it's the turn of the other computer, the one which was active waits for the second for (for example) sendin interceptors, but the passive player still got the screen with the phase where the active is sending ground strike, so he believes the game got hanged, while it's Slitherin in truth the failing. I bet you betatesters did not test through this page...

I made the test, one time this happened, to try to chat through the game chat option, and my mate didn't receive anything, but it was not a problem of my computer or his computer our cable connections because we could speak and chat through Skype all that time.

2 - This game doesn't display well in one normal computer screen (this should have been clearly stated in the game features). The screens get overloaded with pop-ups and the menu bar, and the result is very poor re comfort. For me, it's no problem, I guess, I 'll play in my tv (40').

But other problems where the program seems to have got stack may happen because the pop-up with the planes you need to rebase, HQ who will give support to an attack, or whatever selection you need to do or even the menu bar, where there is a green button for you to press and you didn't see it because of the screen problems, may not be a problem of the program freezing but from display difficulties.

I haven't got any problems with the display problems you are talking about. The pop up screens simply appears where I want them to appear (which is, apart from the selectable units pop up) always in the center of my Lap Top screen...
It should be simply a question of using a good screen layout (and you can make that one yourself).

I haven't got any problems with forms disappearing behind other screens. I would like to see what happens here. Can you post a screen lay out, so we can see what goes wrong? It might help us finding the problems...

Uff, it happens sometimes and sometimes not. I think it was when I was using versión 1.00, cause I wasn't aware that there was a 1.01.

The map screen took all the screen, the menú bar was hidden under it and I couldnt retrieve it unless I folded the map , then clicked on the phase button and then unfolded the map. But of course, after clicking on the phase button, most of the times, the forms with the units to rebase, HQs, et al, appeared just on the upright left side, just where the button to unfold the map is located, so I had to move this form before, and it's not easy. Then I could unfold the map and go on.
