    B14 troubles

    Hi, thanks for the hints... of course I know everyone, including myself, are here for the fun and solving programming issues for the pleasure of solving problems to make a good gaming concept work. Problem is the code is too big to not prevent crosstalk and all the attempts to alter code has...

    B14 troubles

    Is the "B15 Beyond" a different situation due to the different "engine"? Has anyone information about its compatibility with Intel 965? I'm reluctant to waste more time chasing after something that won't work... like this. While installing and modding the variable values within to my liking I...

    B14 troubles

    Sorry to report that your elegant and much simplified installation, though very easy to do, has not improved the quality of play. The issues previously reported have not been as severe, however the instability and frequent crashes during play have gotten worse. v16/17 by comparison are far...

    Wow! THANK YOU VERY MUCH! You are truly the Wizard of C! Wish I had your knowledge and skills, life would be so much easier. My Lenovo T61 Intel 965 never was a problem before so I can't understand why this v22 build is such a problem. I've reverted to v16/17 and was playing last night for...

    Yep...same here... as I've said many times NOT INSTALLATION... NOT SHOUTING... although many devotees like to say so... it's apparent to me that a lot of people have trouble being able to read small print so to accommodate their deficiency I'm courteously using larger print... now do you...

    I've accepted your diagnosis of "Intel 965-itis" and gone back to v16/17 for last playable games for solace. Now I've found a new issue. starting a game the Dragon's Mouth label weapon shows a Fist and the attributes is of the x4 fist!( Review of the Items table shows the correct Image Index...

    B14 troubles

    Not spamming... my original request was ignored Build 14 Final Part 2: Contents Archive still links to the .tar in DB Mod which cannot be recognized by the installer... since my first request was ignored I must repeat it and it was sent to Pieter since he is the one who posted the .tar to DB Mod...

    B14 troubles

    A rather extreme and highly technical installation not using the zip Archive file per instructions. You obviously are a wizard C programmer. with the duplicate installer files you are able to directly use the .tar file rather than the zipped archive... a workaround that I have nothing but...

    B14 troubles

    Yes I do not open the zipped contents archive file because directions say the installer does that... Look problem is not installation... duplicate the install yourself and see what happens with a total new download of the links offered... ok?

    B14 troubles

    Been installing game modules correctly for the last 12 attempts... all with the same results posted. since dropping Edge and using Firefox I was able to run the 2CD Akella downloading the game into a folder which when opened I found the same files I've used from my archived Akella file years...

    B14 troubles

    Okay... where do I find "compile.log", "system.log", and "error.log"? The entire text is not necessary to provide information? I've not been involved in your processes and do not have the technical insight to do things as you do. Until such time as I have comparable technical knowledge and...

    B14 troubles

    Do you mean the zip file opened in the target folder? You are playing Beyond, not B14v22? Those are two different programs...right? Try v22... Yep... just what I did 12 times with the same result every time. Did you download v22 from the link or are you using an already installed program or the...

    B14 troubles

    The modes are consistent with valid variable ranges, not significant to code function. Storms on the sailing chart are as I've removed them in past versions successfully. Storm-free adventures!) I'm now playing Dec 2019 version which has the bug that sinking a ship causes a "freeze crash"...

    The Future of Wind Assistance

    Yes, decades ago an ocean-going cargo ship was fitted with sails on masts that would be used after engine use to open ocean using the well mapped Trades without engines to more economically sail the long distances at an acceptable speed. Didn't catch on with commerce since no further builds...

    B14 troubles

    Much different than my experience trying to run my original Akella 2CD game. I get the MS message that the program is "Incompatible" Have you blocked the MS security upgrades that were "pushed" onto my computer through Edge? How long ago did you run your download from the CDs? Have you tried...

    B14 troubles

    In over a week I downloaded at least 12 times using the link from the PA! webpage with the same result. Since MS Windows security blocks any .exe file from an un-certified site it would not allow that file to be executed until I went through a several step process of vouching for the website as...

    B14 troubles

    Ahhh,,,by default... so where is the switch to make the map fixed and the ship spin around? Game lacks an instruction set... shame? Well... all I can say is that my tab when pressed does not fix the map like it's done in all past versions... what is it about this version that won't sync with...

    Notice Website for New Horizons modifications

    Fascinating! Any progress on the issues I reported with v22? Or is it just my bad luck to get 12 downloads with the same glitches?) Are you going to post a synopsis of the variations for browsing? Got every version from 16 on with all the glitches. Auf Wiedersehen ;)
