Re: 2.3.4 has been released!

Three pages of comments and nobody seems to have said anything so far, so ...first of all.. Thanks for the good work! I was used to compile WZ for each machine seperately, but this time I got your latest work through a general update of my OS. Played it. Played it again. Played it on a different mac...

Re: Skirmish issues on 2.3 Beta 10

Thank you, Zarel. In my case, technical problems and very personal issues got intertwined, I felt painfully attacked on a very personal level. There is an odd reason why I rather desperately needed this game a couple of month ago. Do you have any Thread dealing with "Why I Play This Game" ...

Re: Skirmish issues on 2.3 Beta 10

Someone did comendable work, and the the buginsky appeared, muddeling the thanks. Such behaviour bugs me. :evil: Heaven forbid someone would try to educated you to the real problem, so you can complain to the correct people (ie, the folks who made the drivers that are lying about their capabilities...

Leave it alone, Bug!

Buginator, the issue is closed, your comments are neither helpfull nor wanted. You don't seem to understand that this game is used by some ...experienced... heck, older people with rather diverse backgrounds who need some smart game to unwind... The solution is a perfect workaround for PCs with anci...

Re: Skirmish issues on 2.3 Beta 10

It seems to me that it is a graphics driver issue which gets triggered by the map preview. There isn't much we can do about driver issues, but since you have compiled the game you could try your luck by removing all the calls to "loadMapPreview," ( 3 in multiint.c and 1 in multiopt.c .) D...

Re: Skirmish issues on 2.3 Beta 10

Thanks Everyone, but don't waste your time on this. It doesn't seem to be a wide-spread problem, probably limite to older machines and/or ancient graphics cards. Wouldn' have this problem, but a little real-world accident confines me to my appartment at the moment, planned hardware upgrades had to b...
