It's possible the forum image resizing code is outputting it as jpg - perhaps it deliberately doesn't allow alpha in profile images
0 -
Make sure to save it as PNG because jpg doesn't support alpha channels

The launcher queries Windows for all the supported resolutions for your monitor and lets you pick from those - it's not got a built in list. So if whatever size you want isn't listed that's because Windows doesn't think your monitors support that size

I don't buy many new releases, but I just want to say I enjoy seeing Two-Point Hospital get some love. I really liked the original dos game.
I still go back and play the original theme hospital now and then. EA gave it away for free on origin a few years ago with a dosbox wrapper. I can't think of any other game I've gone back to over and over again over such a long period...

We already have one that randomizes them and restricts them based on player count but if you can do it better than Silverlight...
Just noted earlier that you said it didn't work well in some cases, wasn't sure if it was being actively developed to fix those issues or not?

I can have a look at a bot plugin for rotating maps randomly and based on rules if you like - I've got some good ideas for how it could work ?

I think we should look at ways to integrate this with / into the launcher going forwards so people don't need half a dozen things installed. Will look into it when I'm home in a few weeks, amongst other things.
If this is written in c# we could possibly reuse bits of it ?

Is there any info under the stack trace heading in the error log?

Vis also fails hard when proxied assets change since all the precalculated stuff is now based on the older assets

It is in fact fixed now

Your best option might be to grab d3dx8_42 (without renaming) from the scripts 3.x release package... But I'm not sure anywhere is still hosting a version that old. @jonwil might know where to find it or have an archive...
0 -
IIRC there was a shim version of d3dx9_43.dll which hooked some calls to inject new logic and forwarded other stuff to the system wide variant of the dll - not sure if WINE can support that...
I might be wrong though, that's going back a long time now...

I'd still like to know your regional / language settings as that might be related

Ah ok. Thanks for uploading it anyway ?

Thanks for uploading that @ganein14 . Is that definitely the 'broken' copy of the file though, from before you fixed it? Reason I ask is that a binary compare against a known 'good' copy shows it is identical to the original, which suggests it downloaded successfully, thus should have installed correctly...
If that is the 'broken' file then it suggests the problem isn't a corrupted file (which explain why the launcher doesn't delete it and redownload it), so that blows my original theory out the water...

I'd love to get my hands on a copy of that 'broken' always2 so I can find out why it breaks...
As for Linux, the launcher uses .net 4.6 and wpf. Typically it's the wpf bit that falls over on Linux because it's not been ported to wine. I am starting to move some of the underlying libraries over to net standard (which does support Linux) which might give us the option in future of a command line Linux client (I don't see much prospect of porting the GUI any time soon) but there's just not much demand for Linux support in the community so it's very much on the back burner right now.
I know Omar got the launcher working on Linux at one point and even contributed a few code tweaks to help improve the support but I'm not sure if he's around at the moment

Hadn't thought of that, although it could be argued holding onto the flare for that long is less useful than a failed attempt which then allows a new flare to spawn - plus if you're lurking as a spy doing nothing for 15 minutes waiting for the perfect opportunity to plant a flare your team is effectively a player down in the field for a long time. Just my 2 cents, it's a long time since I've played so maybe I'm just out of touch.

Random thought - flares have a time limit to be used, if you hold onto it for too long (6,7 minutes? That's enough time to rush and die or plant) it just disappears from your inventory and a new one will spawn.
Won't stop people literally sitting on top of the spawn point the whole game but they're easy to report to a mod that way because it's obvious who is stood there waiting0 -
I'm not sure why the APB team are still using msvc 2013 in the first place, I thought it wasn't needed anymore... Might need to check up on that.
In the meantime, the error you're seeing is that Microsoft's visual c runtime (msvc) isn't installing correctly - we just run the installer that Microsoft provide so I'm not sure why that would fail. Can you send me the errors.txt file from my documents/w3d hub/launcher so we can see what the Microsoft installer reported as an error (if anything)1 -
If you find the folder, before deleting it could you upload whichever file it's failing on so I can try and pin down what causes this error?

Vsync means a frame won't be rendered until the monitor is ready to display it, which means that if the monitor refreshes every 10ms and it takes 11ms to render a new frame then you'll only see a new frame on screen every 20ms. If you're seeing 30 FPS then your system is probably not quite capable of hitting 60 fps so it ends up halving the frame rate since each new frame is slightly too late for the next refresh and then waits for the refresh after that one
In practice you'll see exactly what you'd see with vsync disabled but it'll avoid rendering more often than it can sync with the monitor.

It would be nice if I could get hold of one of these files that's causing problems sometime so I can try to figure out what causes this to fail...
0 -
Yeah, that's usually because you had a file that hadn't been thru the mix file tool in the previous version. If you did a repair in the launcher it would always repair that file as corrupt. I could still have fixed the old versions manifest ?

W3D Hub Account problem!

Can you share a screen shot of the problem? Is this on the website or the launcher or somewhere else?
