Developer The Curator Posted November 1, 2019 Developer Share Posted November 1, 2019 (edited) User Interface A fresh install now defaults to borderless windowed mode on the primary monitor, for maximum compatibility with monitors that don't support such tiny (and petty) resolutions as 800x600 or 1024x768. Pressing Alt+Enter to switch to fullscreen mode now always switches to the desktop resolution. Non-native fullscreen resolutions can still be selected from the options menu. Pressing Alt+Enter to switch out of fullscreen back to windowed mode no longer results in a huge window that is partially offscreen. Running the game with -safemode to reset the graphics options now resets them to windowed mode, rather than 800x600 fullscreen which is not very safe. When in borderless windowed mode, the game will drop topmost status on loading screens and when waiting for network connections, to ensure that it's possible to Alt+Tab out to other windows while the client is otherwise busy. Misc The Halloween Event has ended. Fall has come to Atlas Park. If you have leftover Halloween Salvage, you can still trade it in at the Halloween vendors (Annah in Croatoa, Granny Beldam in Nerva, Acantha in Imperial City). Bug Fixes Fixed a bug with the 3D resolution option sometimes showing incorrect values in the options menu when in borderless windowed mode. Closing the options window on the login screen will no longer result in various options being reset on the first character you log into. (Maybe) fixed the issue with the D-Pad on PS4 controllers.

MetaVileTerror Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Downloading now . . . with anxiety. The last two times "fixes" were put in for the GUI, I had some unexpected bugs screw with me. Of course, you folks solved those problems for the most part each time, so I suppose I should relax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theronos Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Thank you very, very much. I have never seen a faster and more thorough response to a problem or question that I have reported (and others as well, I'm sure) from any game, let alone one that is supported through volunteer efforts only.

MetaVileTerror Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Yup. The changes to the GUI. But looks like everything is working from initial play, so . . . yay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gulver Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Is the Halloween trial still in the LFG window? Or is the Summer Blockbuster going to be the only exception to holiday trials running past their seasonal event? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MetaVileTerror Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Looking at the LFG window in-game right now, it appears that Haunted House has been disabled and the Blockbuster is alone again in the Holiday Tab. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorDitko Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Is anyone else running on a Mac and having the game hang at "Parsing File List?" It launched OK once today, but now mine hangs.

DoctorDitko Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Mine resolved after several tries, Szgany, how did yours do? Perhaps the servers were a bit bogged by everyone getting the patches?

MetaVileTerror Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Running Tequila will automatically download all relevant patches through the manifest. Just run Tequila, and it does the rest on its own. (Future-proofing this post: The Devs are hoping to replace Tequila some day. No idea what the new launcher will be named when it finally comes out, but it /should/ work the same: Automatically.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InfamousBrad Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 3 hours ago, The Curator said: Fall has come to Atlas Park. And at least parts of Steel Canyon. I didn't check any other hero zones. I did check Mercy, PO, Cap, Shark, & St.M and none of them had so much as a single turning leaf. I get that this would be a labor-intensive change. (I'm assuming the windows weren't because there are global "lighted vs unlighted" window objects that respond to the sky setting?) Is there any way to outsource purely-cosmetic zone editing to a larger group of volunteers? With only a couple of map editors, I get why you'd concentrate your efforts in the areas that 80% of the players use. And Eris forfend that I complain about free stuff. I've just always wanted four seasonal variation maps for all of the outdoor maps ever since I first started, back around issue 4. Is the answer still "too labor-intensive to maintain"?
