@Vantha I had the same until I updated my graphics driver.

Locate your logs folder:

https://trac.wildfiregames.com/wiki/GameDataPaths

Then upload it here; if you can just zip the whole folder.

Oh, ok I'll try that

[real_tabasco_sauce]

ok going out of fullscreen worked perfectly well. Screen tears only occur in fullscreen for me, and borderless fullscreen = "false" did not solve the issue in fullscreen.

borderless.fullscreen = false

is it actually supposed to be false as stated here or "false" like the other options?

both will work, but you can go with "false"

whats the most easy way for windows user start with a27 at the moment?

i guess for linux user the app-images are most easy .

BTW search say : "Windows 10 includes the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), also known as "Bash for Windows". This can be used to run AppImages on Windows."

I suppose it's to just use the installer.

Do fullscreen/vsync/borderless.fullscreen options change something?

I tried all three options and they don't have an effect on the problem.

COLOR Feedback:  The grey is VERY hard to see on the mini-map.  The silhouettes are also sneaky when in the trees.

[real_tabasco_sauce]

yeah I'd support making it either a lot darker or a lot lighter, like a silvery grey.

I do have a26 and a27 rc concurrently installed, but not running at the same time. I will try later with a26 uninstalled

Windowed mode seems the only thing that fixes it. The big blue screen tears still happen with vulkan+borderless.fullscreen = 'false'

We should have different icons for the versions of 0AD.

For example svn has a different icon and A26 has another one.

No, developers should see what users will see.

And how is this related?

 

My suggestions for those who make a mistake by opening one version of the game from another.

Fish crisis in Latium:

There's one (!) fishing spot for my ally and me (green & blue).

If it were everywhere like in the SW I'd think it'd be ok. I don't know if I just got an unlucky draw or if there can be something done about the distribution/amount of fishing spots.

East, West, what's the diff?

There are many maps that are not fun because of the resources. These maps do not meet the expectations.

The Han ministers still have a production button problem: while it shows the correct max number you can produce in a batch, if the batch size is actually bigger nothing will happen. This is not visibly represented for the player.

You have to reduce the batch size until it matches the maximum ministers you can produce, while the number presented to the player will stay the same. (If you can produce 2 and your current batch size is 5, it will show you the 2 all the time; when you dial down your batch size to 4, 2 is shown etc.)

I wish the game would just cut off larger numbers if the current batch size is bigger than what you can produce, so the button actually does what it says.

Can you create a ticket for this?

LuchoMat did this yesterday with no problems:

download bundle from the forum

install.

A warning will appear warning that the previous version will be uninstalled.

click 'OK'

The installer will suggest a directory (folder) for the installation. This will most likely be the current location of a26.

Delete the last part of the 'path' and replace it with something like '0ad_A27'.

I think the shortcuts folder should also be separate, but I am not sure.

I think I had to do that manually. Apart from that the installation went automatically and without problems.

But for windows users a warning will pop up how unsafe it is to install this; you can just click it away.

Re: Elephants. Maybe too late for this alpha, but what about coming up with a tech tree for them for the next.

Does it happen to any other OpenGL/Vulkan game (maybe SuperTuxKart or Warzone 2100)?

Does it happen in fullscreen and window mode?

It only happens in vulkan + fullscreen. Setting borderless fullscreen false does not fix it, turning on windowed mode does fix it.

Starting a screen recording also fixes it, which is why I recorded my screen externally.

Just to make sure: you used borderless.fullscreen = "false", right?

Does the only chat window trigger the tearing? Or any other in-game window like options or diplomacy? Is it reproducible in the main menu?

SuperTuxKart

DL'ed, installed; guess it's Vulkan only, didn't find an option to change to/from. Notes I found only mention Vulkan for this release. Tried it three times and:

No, it doesn't happen with STK.
