Once the fix is in the download section is it possible to update the file, should I release any more fixes (such as a windowed mode or a fix for Intel/GeForce 8000/9000 cards)? If I have the time I would like to make fixes for more issues and hopefully add a configuration file for the DLL.

It is possible to fix that? Really? It'd be... like another resurrection of Jesus...

No sticky or addition to useful links?

I've been debating where to put it. I've added it to the wiki technical FAQ and popped it to the Org front page, but I've been pondering how to organize the stickies. There is some duplication already, I probably need a fresh thread with links to the relevant discussions (which get then unstuck).

Hello Sepheus,
I have had some problems with this fix. In combination (everything works fine individually) with the Redux mod's MapTex.tga and MapTex2.tga I get an error and crash to In-Game menu.
So my question is, is this fix dependent on Vanilla MTW's campaign map files? And if so, could it be fixed to work with modded campaign map textures as well?

Hopefully Sepheus still lurks and will chime in.

For grins, could you try the old workaround for the resolution problems specified here? I believe Sepheus set the max memory to 2048 Mb in his ddraw wrapper. So without the ddraw.dll, try both the larger setting (2560 Mb) and smaller (2048 Mb) with Redux to see if both work. Maybe Redux needs more than 2Gb?

Welcome to the Org, Nagnar!

I check every day, but most of the Main Hall denizens/lurkers are old timers so there's not much new to discuss. New discussion is always welcome, and will usually drag a couple of us out of the woodwork.
The game is 10 years old now, should have posted a Happy Birthday shout in August, my bad.

Ditto. I had been logged out, forgot my password, got a new one and - silence out there. I thought the logging out had somehow changed my settings so new posts won't filter in. Drone, you might post an empty message every now and then to let everybody know there are some survivors on the island.
