Battery warning suppressed by D2 under XP?

Oh,btw: Feature-Request: Dom2 should have an option for 5min-Autosaving to a <gamename>.trn.autosave file for manual recovery of powerloss! I just hate to spend my gaming hours for the same turn again!

Yeah, that would be a good idea. You can always lose the power due to power failures, lightning strikes or cats playing with cables.

Instead of using full-screen mode, you might consider windowed but with dominions maximized. This gives you almost as much screen real estate as full-screen, but with the benefit of being able to bring up other programs - text editors, email, web browser, whatever. And it should also help ensure that you can see the battery warning.

That said - Dom2's graphic mechanism isn't necessarily Windows-friendly - often the graphics bleed through even when another program is brought to the front, forcing me to minimize dom2 temporarily. (This is with Win98SE, latest NVidia drivers, and I think the latest SDL libraries.)

Hmm, yes a maximized windows is a good idea!

Actually I would rather prefer to run the game on my laptop only with linux (the battery warnings works perfectly well with linux) - if only the replays would be shown with an acceptable rate under linux (ATI-Card and I couldnt get those ATI Linux drivers working)...

It is so annoying that I am forced to run a game on windows, that was designed on Linux! Something is wrong with that, isnt it?
