VCMI 0.99 released!

Did you run as admin?

yes and still a crash

Restart system, there is is bug with boost if uptime is too long.

Restart likely wouldn’t help. At least it’s not help to @povelitel at all. Proper solution would be to get rid of shared memory completely here since client able to shutdown server without it.

Issue on bug tracker here: #2560

Only real workaround is start VCMI_Server.exe separately (it’s will not NOT crash) and then VCMI_Client.exe with “-d” or “–donotstartserver” flag. Then client will just use what’s given.

Also release shipped with SDL 2.0.3, which is not that stable. For me 2.0.4 works much better.

Also this release shipped with opengl32.dll, which causes game to misbehave, for example on my PC it causes problems when switching between fullscreen and windowed mode.

avg internet security 2016 doesn’t like vcmi_server.exe and still remove it… :neutral_face:

Yes, it does for me as well. But it should allow you to choose ignore it :bulb:

Hello

I found information about the VMCI project today, as I was looking in to more information about fan made “mods” and alike for HOMM3. I’ve been a loyal player of H3 and H3 WOG for as long as I can remember.

However, when I try the VCMI today I encounter several issues

  1. Game is in russian. Can not change by any of the mods. The problem comes when installing package: WoG
  2. WoG options not available in game. Can not set up WoG as the button for WoG setup is not responding.
  3. XXL maps from HOTA is not available. Is this something that will be implemented?

I’ve tried to find this information elsewhere, but with limited luck. Hope you have an answer for this. Good luck

Regards, Cries

  1. Disable russian translation, which is WoG submod.
  2. That’s correct.
  3. Game can load maps of any size, but HoTA maps are not supported yet. Hopefully some day they will.

Warmonger, I forgot to tell you about that RMG templates pack I sent you once, remember? Can you repack VCMI package and replace existing templates with it? Sorry about that.

Hi guys,
Changed computers and all the mess, finally decided to reinstall VCMI and try out 0.99!

I encounter a problem I didn’t before, for a reason I couldn’t identify I can’t up the resolution, console tells me “Selected resolution 1920x1080 was not found! Falling back to 800x600”

I did install the Highres menu Mod from launcher though, I am sure it’s something stupid from my side, any hint?

Try this trick: launch game in 800x600 setting (windowed, not full screen), next start any scenario, go to Options window, and there change resolution and click Full Screen button.

Thanks, I already tried this, 800x600 is the only res available from there, can’t do a thing.

So, another ‘trick’. Instal VCMI 0.99, try launch game. Then download last daily build and replace it over v0.99 files (not clean H3) and try again lauch game.
vcmi.arseniyshestakov.com/windows/

To be sure - I hope that ‘VCMI essential files’ submod “Extra resolutions” is enabled in launcher!

Aha that’s it, no I don’t have it. I got the core files from here. Where can I find the good package?

Ok it’s here dropbox.com/sh/fwor43x5xrgz … s/vcmi.zip

The other package I got from installation page has extra res and bonusicons missing.

In the meantime I tried some stuff and now I got crash, will do a clean reinstall later and hope it works this time.

Thanks for the help!

Ah, you are using linux version, I use windows version, so I can’t help you :frowning:

Yeah from source, but aside this everything seemed to work fine so it’s probably because of the incomplete package, I’ll try again later and let know how things go.

Thanks again for your help
