I wonder if it's something specific to Windows 10? I've never seen anything like it on Windows 7. The most similar bug I know is pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del to access the login screen while the game is loading -- that happens in Windows 7. What happens when you Alt+Tab in Windows 10, is it different than Windows 7?

Is this reproducible, or did it only happen once? Do you remember which point of the loading screen it occurs on? Can you confirm which version of Windows you are using?

I agree with most of the suggestions. I still think a hotkey for toggling different selection modes would be useful, but hotkey support needs to be improved in Atlas, so they can be customized to the users' needs. Documentation is also something that should be flushed out. About tablet support, I don't think it exists in wxWidgets yet (the library we use for Atlas GUI and input handling). However, I found this discussion on their forum, perhaps that is something we can implement, but I think it's a low priority feature. I'm not sure how many of our devs have a tablet, but I do.

That's the actor editor, which lets you edit visual things in the game: props, units, buildings, flora. I would like that to be integrated with Atlas at some point, and then add an entity editor, which would modify and create new entity templates.

I don't think we'll include a model/animation editor with the game. But data supported by the editor(s), whether actors, entities, maps, etc. should be bundled as XML. We don't have an entity editor yet, but it's a planned feature

I don't think it belongs on the diplomacy screen, we risk crowding it with unneeded information. As Lion says, it would be more useful to have advanced diplomacy actions there, if we have the space. There is a lot of information that could influence diplomatic decisions including tributing, but that doesn't mean they need to be visible there all the time.

Not bad as a proof of concept! I think they need to be grouped somehow, to provide context, instead of one big list. Maybe based on paths for the broadest organization, so that AI, GUI, etc. are separated.

XMBs are just for the sake of efficiency, they are a more compact binary format that's faster to load than the bloated text format of XML. It's a similar reason for converting COLLADA XML files into PMD and PSA files. They are lossy formats though; they don't preserve all the structure and contents of the original source. Plus, if we add something like an entity editor to Atlas, it would be much easier to work with the source XML than a proprietary binary format. The output of such an editor should be XML anyway, so people can share them and see the results in a human-readable format.

The problem has never been lack of desire to improve 0 A.D. unit voices, the topic has been raised many times :-) The problem is finding someone to take charge of that project, and with regards to making the recordings, most people don't have experience or access to quality equipment for that. There may be ancient Greek scholars, native Greeks, and voice actors perusing this forum, but I don't know if anyone meets all 3 roles, maybe that is why there's no progress made. Obviously, if the phrases are wrong, we should fix those before even thinking about how they sound, much less recording them.

Because with an unconstrained camera, it's easy to get "lost' so you don't know which direction the camera is facing anymore. If you notice, most games have reasonable limits on how far you can zoom or rotate the camera, those are camera constraints The sky is only intended to be visible in water reflections, it has never been directly visible except when the camera is at very low angles to the terrain:

Did it work for you before? Are you sure the sky is in the camera's field of view? You might have to disable camera constraints (in the developer overlay) and tilt the camera to see it.

I've always been in favor of such an option I think it would go nicely with a simple/advanced UI option. As to whether I would use it or not... I do like foreign languages and they add a degree of authenticity and history to the game. But I can understand players not wanting to see words in obscure languages. (And I have no problem with hundreds or thousands of options as long as they are documented )

Just note that restarting the game is required for it to work. Although the relevant code could possibly be re-written in such a way that it instantly takes effect. Also the option should only be presented on OS X - not sure if the options menu supports platform-specific settings or not?

There is a "macmouse" option available for exactly this purpose It defaults to false, but you can set it true to get the emulated right-click behavior (Ctrl+Click). See http://trac.wildfiregames.com/wiki/Manual_Settings

Can you describe the issues you're having with the graphics? Screenshots (F2 in-game) help. Also, please post the system_info.txt from the game's log folder.

Nice work! And also on setting up the secure sites The new theme is very modern, even if it takes a little getting used to. One issue I'm having with the new forum is a prompt every time I visit asking me if I want notifications from this site. What exactly are the notifications? I can choose always show or always block, I'm just not sure what I'm choosing. This is using FF 43.

Please install the matching 0ad-dbg package for this version, that should let us see a more useful call stack.

I've never encountered that term before. Not that it necessarily has to change, but I have seen quite a few other Latin terms, so this must be a more obscure or specialized one. Maybe an AI description isn't the right place to use that particular term? Also googling it brings up "bonus-malus", not "malus-bonus".

This is all I could find: http://wildfiregames.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=16478&p=249729 There was another (public) topic that had concept art and 3D renders, but I can't find it

What is the last revision that works? Does A19 render correctly? You might try adjusting your graphics options to find if any of them have broken something.

Yeah, I have suspected this based on several crashes reported via Trac. They haven't been conclusive and I haven't had time to do much analysis of my own. On Windows, it is potentially even more serious as the 32-bit process only has a 2GB address space.

I can't reproduce this on my system, Win 7 Pro 64-bit w/ AMD Radeon HD 6850. Anyone with an AMD GPU seeing this?

Weird, it seems to have failed when logging the error, whatever it was. I'm not sure why that would happen. Maybe you can run DebugView before the game, and next time it crashes there will be some useful output captured. One possibi8lity is the game ran out of memory (only 2GB for a 32-bit process) though it usually doesn't crash like this. Do you run the game for a relatively long time, or play/observe multiple matches in a single session, or rejoin multiplayer games before it crashes?

You appear to be using fancy graphics including preferglsl, can you try starting the game without those options?
