When will the server work?
Now version 3.3.0 offer to upgrade to 3.2.3 and does not create the game.

Should work now...

[xNEXTx]

Yes, everything works fine now.
But the update message is a bit alarming.

Note, for Campaign specific input, use this thread: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=12714
For multiplayer issues, use this thread: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=15118

Any other issues, use this thread.


Remember, if you don't speak up now, after a release is too late! We need to find as many issues as possible before 3.3.0 (final) is out the door.

Also, yes, your maps have changed. The folder is the name of the release, so in this case, it is called "Warzone 2100 3.3.0-beta1" (at least on Windows.)

[Berg]

The Tarball don't work it's not even set to the right version in SF

If you want to get the git version first you need to get master and then switch to 3.3.0-beta1
To get master

Code: Select all

git clone git://github.com/Warzone2100/warzone2100
cd warzone2100
git submodule update --init --recursive

in the folder you want to store warzone
Then you can change to the 3.3.0-beta1 branch with the below commands

I did

Code: Select all

git pull --tags

in the master version
Then change the branch to 3.3.0-beta1
with

Code: Select all

git checkout 3.3.0-beta1

Then compile it using the commands.

Code: Select all

./autogen.sh
./configure &&  make

After you have compiled it you can.

Code: Select all

./src/warzone2100

And you are ready I hope!!!

install SDL 2.0.7 manually by following ​these instructions
install SDL 2.0.6 from the repositories of Ubuntu 17.10 Artful Aardvark (supported until July 2018):

Please enable unit orders in the menu again.
please enable pursue.
please enable hold position

[alfred007]

Please enable unit orders in the menu again.
please enable pursue.
please enable hold position

There is a ticket for that. Ticket #4303 is assigned to Forgon. Talk to him if you want.

The more I talk about it every real chance i get reminds them that they are slack butts that make promises they should keep and forgot OPPS FORGON might make it also have zoom and jammer buttons not just the hold pursue etc.

Hi There,

THanks

[xNEXTx]

I play with a resolution of 1920x1080. If the game is minimized to windowed mode (Alt+Enter) and closed. The next time you start the game will have a resolution of 640x480.
The resolution can be changed again, but it is not correct.
I'm using windows 10 OS.
