Patch to Deluxe 1.95 Available!

If I were you AT I'd update the STmod at least to try and counter the pending error reports you'll get.

I'd also think the game would revert to the default image is it wasn't present as it would with other picture folders like planets etc.

Thanks CK for the update on how to address this bug. I tell you had my system wigging out pretty damn bad, my Desk top was flickering and what not. It had to kill SEIV via the alt/ctl/del command screen.

After reading your fix, it was easy enough to do. Thanks again. Update posted. And thank you for helping with the players problem in the SE.net forum. You nailed it on the head when you said he just installed the patch without first having installed the full version of the game.

I went over board with my response, I guess the uporic feeling I am currently having as a result of the new meds for the back pain, is effecting my desire to over type my replies to simple problems and questions.

Much like I am doing now.

Thanks again.

The screen will do that flicker thing when you try and close the start menu with a right click from the task bar...

It will also do it if your new image is not the correct size. Oops. So much for using a custom image, for now.

That's not true. You can use a custom size - the min size for correct display is ~392x536. The flicker issue only results when you try and close the start menu using right-click from the taskbar.

It also appears the patch has been taken down from Strategy First - I wonder if MM is making a few fixes...

SFI removed the patch from their site after too many people who had the downloaded version (already 1.95) tried to apply the patch - anyway the forum moderator said another patch was due for d/l version, so I suspect another little patch is on its way.

MM mentioned in an e-mail that the start menu is needed for the Steam version, and that so in making all versions the same it got put in regular. However, he didn't reply specifically in reference to fixing the 'bugs' it introduced.

So, steam requires the start menu, eh?
And all this time, it was supposed to be just a distribution channel.

I really hope the start menu dosen't screw up PBW.
And I hope we can get a command line flag to skip right to the game loading.

You've got stone, m'lad.
