Windowed and vsync don't change it. I'd have to edit the borderless in the user.cfg, right? Please give me the exact line.

borderless.fullscreen = false

@real_tabasco_sauce do you have multiple instances of the game running or are you using another client to connect to the lobby?

@Stan` I also had issues testing the dev trunk, I had to remove my default config file and let 0ad 0.27.0 recreate for it to not crash. If I remember correctly it was something about JSON string parsing not being valid.

Could you try to reproduce it? I suppose maybe it was linked to autociv?

borderless.fullscreen = "false" did not fix it.

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

I get the following error when opening:

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

Locate your logs folder:

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.

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

[seeh]

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.

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.
