New version available 1.6.0!

blastpop · Post by **blastpop** » Wed Sep 07, 2011 8:48 pm

My game auto updated to ver 1.5.4 but did not auto update to ver 1.6.

Never had the problem of no auto update until this point. Is this intentional? or do I have a software problem? I am reluctant to update without more info at this point.

Thanks in advance!

You'll need to grab the patch installer for this update. We were finding that we ended up needing both anyway because of a small number of users with specific setups, so going forward we will only be using patch installers. But from now on, the launcher will prompt you about updates and take you to a download page, rather than relying on you navigating there yourself, but this functionality wasn't part of 1.5.4.

Sorry for any confusion.

Cheers

Pip

It seems the old motto "If it aint broke dont fix it" has been forgotten here

The new patch makes the interface more clumsy (the option left and right for some reason does NOT work like before)

What happened to the enter key ???????? It used to give a list of casualties, now it triggers an exit from the game

Where can I get the list of casualties ??

In what way does it not work as before? We have had a report that the right button won't action the buttons, but are you talking about something else?

The casualties can be seen on the INSERT or numpad 0 keys. If that was missed from the patch notes, then apologies.

We moved End Turn to the enter key on feedback from people who were finding themselves hitting SPACE by mistake. If people desire the ability to be exactly as before, we can add in some customisation to allow that.

Thanks for the feedback.

Cheers

It's hard to explain........the interface is more clumsy.... you have to click on the target tile and then wait a bit for the desired action to "settle".... if you click immediately (as used to be the case) your action is ignored

I keep getting a version mismatch prompt and a Fatal application Exit prompt.
This happens when I try to start the game.

Can you grab the patch again - sounds like you managed to grab a broken version before it was fixed.

Did you redownload the update and make sure you ran the new one not the old one? It really should fix the issue.

Here is the link to be sure:

Pip/Ian,

Do you gentlemen have a script example of the above functionality?

I peaked around the scripts but I didn't see anything that stood out.

Thanks,

Rob
