Silver83 Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Yes, I do. Windows 8 Pro x64. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkyFr3sh Posted October 13, 2014 Author Share Posted October 13, 2014 disable the compatibility mode, else you cannot go above 1280x720 :) If the game doesnt start up properly then rename the file to dune2000.dat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver83 Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Renaming the patched exe to dune 2000.dat worked. Disabling compatbility mode did not. Now everything runs fine exept I'm getting tearing. Your exe with compatibility settings has no tearing... I still don't understand why your exe works out of the box with compatibility settings on with 1280x720 and mvis does not.

FunkyFr3sh Posted October 14, 2014 Author Share Posted October 14, 2014 I still dont understand this win8 problems either :( i did some testing with gruntlord and the best solution was renaming the file to dune2000.dat, i dont have win8 myself so i cannot really test things to find out more. Some other games seems to have the same problem, hopefully someone will find the root of the evil soon so it can be fully working Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
athanasios Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 What about Windows 10? Will it work there? Has anyone tested it? Micro ... garbage: Getting worse with every newer release of M$FT Windoze. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D2k Sardaukar Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I tried it on Windows 9, it does not work. Oh well, you can't have it all... :)Â //it's a joke, windows 9 does not exist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkyFr3sh Posted October 16, 2014 Author Share Posted October 16, 2014 at least it works on windows 8.2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feda Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Probably nothing will work on Windows 9, and Windows 10 will uninstall itself considering the way they designed 8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
athanasios Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 [a bit of topic]I tried it on Windows 9, it does not work. Oh well, you can't have it all... :)Â //it's a joke, windows 9 does not exist. Versions of the 90's are called '9x' so that's why there can not be a 9. Number is already in use. And the internal version in MS Windows is different than the one they use to sell their product! Let's also see if after 10 they will again change their numbering system.[/a bit of topic] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your exe with compatibility settings has no tearing... I still don't understand why your exe works out of the box with compatibility settings on with 1280x720 and mvis does not.There is no difference, you need to run it as a dat to get it to work properly. It also gets tearing no matter what (usually at the top of the screen when scrolling). What about Windows 10? Will it work there?

skuallx Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Hello guys, I'm just wondering if there are any news about the airstrike bug in multiplayer mode. Is it gonna be fixed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkyFr3sh Posted October 21, 2014 Author Share Posted October 21, 2014 Hello guys, I'm just wondering if there are any news about the airstrike bug in multiplayer mode. Is it gonna be fixed?Have looked into it some time ago, but still not sure what is causing it :( thats why airstrike is still turned off on cncnet to avoid out of sync (else you cannot play with AI, they use it all the time) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(we never choose atreides) and I remember clearly that sometimes there were AI atreides using airstrike and there is no oos problem. We are all using the new patch framework. this is an irritating issue, I didn't find the triggering yet. 1 linux pc @ 1366x7681 windows 8 @ 1280x7681 windows 8.1 @ 1280x768 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or a static offset variable linked to the width or height of the screen perhaps? When different game resolutions are used the drop location is out of sync. Did you already find the code location of the air-strike? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it could only happen if at least one of the players is using the original res 640x400?  that's an interesting thought what you said. at the beginning we thought that all players must be in the same vertical resolution (e.g: 768px), but no.have you ever tried switching between 8bit and 16bit?I have noticed also that when the map is covered you can hear the explotions that the airstrike releases: no oos.. that's until someone can see the spot that the airstrike is hitting and done: OOS. at least i think that, not sure.I think we are lucky 'cause we can finish our games almost everytime because there are no AI atreides.. don't know why, maybe because we choose only ordos or harkonnen?

FunkyFr3sh Posted October 21, 2014 Author Share Posted October 21, 2014 It could be anything lol, feda actualyl made a nice test map where you had the air strike quickly without waiting all the time. It just takes some testing to find out what is going on there :) I dont think 8bit would make any difference (we could reproduce it on 16bit all the tiem)Â The original game is not really random, it builds all its random numbers out of "1", that means you could always end up with the same ai player sides in the first game you play (i fixed that in cncnet some time ago), could also be that ai players have a much lower chance to become arteides because their id is 0 (not sure about that) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skuallx Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 well i suppose we need to wait. in the meantime how can i disable the airstrike? i'm using the last 1.06p rev.9 exe. :) thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
