Post by Andrew Loveridge »

Hello Everyone,

Available through your updater or through our FTP is the new Qvadriga 1.30 Update.

NEW FEATURES

-New buttons to choose team appearing at the management screen when the "go to race" button is tapped.
-"How to play" icon at the main menu now blinks when the game is loaded for the first time.
-Game uses a new file called resolutions.txt to save the current resolution and keep this setting between executions. (if different from the desktop default fullscreen resolution)
-Info about the number of participating teams displayed when the betting is shown. New city back button at the map screen to return to the current location.

INTERFACE CHANGES

-Removed darker tones used for the highest danger levels represented at bars, cursors and order buttons.

BUGS FIXED

-The main menu scene does not try to set default resolution automatically except when game loads for first time.

Is it possible in a future patch to save the sound adjustment from session to session?

Hm - at first, download rate was okay but the update gave me an error. Next try, the download rate is so incredibly slow it hangs and will become unresponsive o.O ... And on third try, FTP this time, nothing's happening as it just says 'Starting' and hangs there. What gives?

Yeah it gave me three file errors as well but you just ignore them and carry on with the install. There is a post somewhere on here about it. Really the dev should update the patch post above to include information about ignoring those errors, because it's not normal to get errors when you install a patch.

Also, devs, are you aware you havent posted about this patch on the Slitherine forum yet?

Yes I had the same problem with 2 or 3 files unable to install because files were already in use, hopefully it sorted itself out when I rebooted?

I know the list of changes is listed above, but the Whatsnew.pdf in game still shows v1.20. So not really sure if update is in or not?

Also got a Panzer Command - Kharkov Update Log.txt file in my main Qvadriga dir, don't know where that came from? Only reinstalled Qvadriga today.

My laptop has updated fine, my desktop PC sat all yesterday evening with a "creating handle" message. Today I restarted the update, and again, for the last hour I have the "creating handle" message. How do I update this machine to v1.30?

I tried the demo and I would buy this if there was multiplayer. Online racing with each player entering their orders and then having it play out, in other words WEGO like their ancient naval game.
