Hew Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Previously this had (as far as I can remember) prebuilt binaries that did not require you to install anything. The git project currently has no branch that has prebuilt binaries. Will that be the case moving forward? I am fairly sure this is why I have not updated past 2.6.1.25....

SuperPlyx Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 I keep a version of 2.7.2.10 for various reasons but one is that it's not necessary to install it. I always called these portable versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

csr Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 I'm having some graphics issues with the new version (3.1.1.2 with DB .1213). When I use button3 to add the next IO in a set the icon doesn't render most of the time. I have to flip to the alternate slotting and back to get it to draw. Mouse-over gives the context info on the IO, so it's slotting, just not rendering. Also, when I drag-and-drop a power to a new place (level) in a build it sometimes (rarely) fails to draw the powers in their new positions.

csr Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 I'm still getting the graphics performance issues with 3.1.2.5 (DB .1215). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csr Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Is anyone else having performance issues with this build? Builds are taking longer to load (2s or so instead of instantly), if I click things quickly sometimes the clicks don't take (this happens on the Show Totals window tabs for instance) and the graphics are just plain slow to render. Anyway... has the desktop wipe on uninstall bug been fixed? I'm thinking of doing a complete re-install and am leery about running the uninstall after what that did to me last time.

I uninstalled and reinstalled 3 times last week with no issues regarding files disappearing. But if the issue is tied to the version being uninstalled it may be that I never had that version installed to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csr Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Well, the uninstaller may not be updated with the app, but I'd think it would be. I may still just wait until after Xmas to give it a try. The annoyance is minor except when making a new build. It's mostly the button3 set fills and drag-and-drop power order changes that get to me.

glycerine102 Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Is there still a 32 bit only zip version? I believe that is what I previously used for installation via Wine.

It think lib/zlib1.dll is built with the anycpu target instead of the 32-bit one.

Vulgaris Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 One thing that's been notably broken for a while is that Necromancy pets no matter what's toggled or slotted do not show the full range of enhancement sets and proper enhances they can take. A lot of categories are missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kosmic Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 (edited) So I am not sure what is going on here, but the whole slot graphic side is not coming out right: Edited January 5, 2022 by Kosmic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bionic_Flea Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 I had a similar issue, though not as severe. All my enhancement slots were moved to the left by about one slot. I tried to figure out a way to fix it and couldn't. Ultimately I went to the Mids Discord and was advised to unintstall and reinstall and that worked. Even better, it took less then a couple of minutes -- not painful at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bionic_Flea Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Maybe I am being dense, but that doesn't make sense to me. You can always go to Windows Settings to add or delete a program and then go to MidsReborn.com to download it again. I assume other OS's have similar capabilities.

Though I hate telling people to do this, but if you used the install version, there may be entries in the registry that may need deleted after you uninstall to make sure you have done a complete uninstall.
