Re: Unable to launch from Docking Bay

I'm guessing corrupt data resolved by deletion? The installer is not really necessary. All it does is unpack the game, create a desktop shortcut, and create a hook in control panel for uninstalling. With the 1.03 release available today I upgraded Allegro to 4.2.3, but it's still a 10-year old libra...

Re: Do I have the right Hypercube?

There is only one hypercube in game, and there is something unusual about it. Originally there were twenty-five training missions and they were quite tiresome -- unfortunately with hardcoded mission numbers there was no easy way to skip over missions 11-25 and jump to mission #26 since by the time t...

Re: Suggestions for game changes

Hey Erlhantos, I made some changes in 1.03 (released today) to hopefully address some of your concerns. Instead of most races having huge unbeatable war fleets I basically redid the entire algorithm for fleet size generation to greatly reduce the number of ships in most encounters. I also enabled an...

Mouse Movement Issues

Some people have reported mouse movement problems within the game. I have not personally seen this problem, but other developers ran into this issue years ago. The easiest solution is to go into windowed mode: from the main menu, go to settings, and turn full-screen to off. The problem seems to be m...

Re: can any body help me i cant get of persanal and

There is a nice large exit button at the bottom left corner -- I've heard of this happening if you play the game on a netbook or computer monitor that is very low resolution such as 1024x600 The game requires a screen resolution of 1024x768 or greater to see the bottom of the screen. If you can chan...

Re: Unable to launch from Docking Bay

.NET Framework is not required. The code base is Visual C++ 2005 SP1. All required files should be included, but you could try installing the redistributable package: x86: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5638 x64: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=18471
