Can you release the update 1.06.07 in the traditional way?

Best regards.

Once again, huge thanks for all your work vdr, it's absolutely incredible.

I'd have to say I agree with Torpedo here. The old way works perfectly, plus exe files always carry a certain amount of suspicion or risk with them. Not everyone knows how to examine the inners of an executable file, whereas a zip/tar etc file contains no mysteries.
Knowing that you're first being redirected to an external site to download, then downloading an exe file just seems as though it might put people off.

End of the day it's your choice entirely, and regardless of which way you go, we all still wubs ya matey

Hi Vecko
Good work, and I can see your logic using the installer.
My PC was suspicious of your download because of the .exe, as it had no authenticity and said "unknown".

Same here... That's normal because windows will recognize the installer as "unknown publisher', which is me...

Noted, and thanks for your comment...
For now , I'll just wait to see how this goes. If we encounter some significant security issues or user's discontent, I can revert back to traditional rar/zip system in no time at all...

Hey
Yesterday i decided to install SH5 again and check what changed in past few months. Right after game install i downloaded and installed TWOS, step by step as in install instructions. Then i launched my game, pressed new campaign, then i was in bunker and when i want to choose my mission i got this on map:


When commander stop giving briefing i cant choose any mission, cause i dont see objectives on map. Seems that this is issue only when i open map.
Im using SH5 version 1.2 downloaded by uplay downloader.
And this is the list of my activated mods:



I have installed all things needed, directx+redists, no changes. Then i reinstalled whole game again and this also didnt helped. Im about to give up cause fighting with mods is what i hate. I really dont have idea what is going wrong, but since TWOS is compiled to .exe i cant modify one mod that can be screwed.
Im using 1680x1050 resolution monitor right now.
Maybe some more experienced captain can help me with this issue?
Any help highly appreciated. Cause i really want to sink some ships

P.S. sorry for my english but its not my native

Try enabling the 8:5 ratio as TWoS uses a standard 16:9.

Good Hunting

If you use 8:5 resolution (1680x1050) then you should use appropriate resolution patch also...(other than that, JSGME looks OK)

OS?
Running the game with administration rights?
How about to check some compatibility options when launching the game?
EDIT:
Generic patcher thingy, no encountered problems there?

Thanks for fast reply.
So i just enabled 8x5 resolution patch in JSGME, launched game and still same issue.
And about my system i use windows 7 x64, all programs are running always in administration rights. I have no issues while enabling generic patcher (no errors) all just installed fine. Game is running in win 7 compatibilty (i tried other like vista, xp but this option dont make any changes)
The strange thing is even when i click toggle nav map bearing overlay visibility button it does nothing. i cant click skip button on mission briefing. Its like map overlay is glued forever

After test without compatibility, no changes
So it seems that i cant use TWOS but i really want to. All should work without issues. But anyway thanks for your help and for your great work on this mod and i hope i can play SH5 in future with TWOS enabled. For now i think i pass cause all posibilites has been run out for me.

Not all yet...

There is one more possibility but you'll have to reinstall the game completely once again...

This time, dont do step 4 (to delete main.cfg file), instead just open it with notepad, find line ";Modding=Yes" and remove ";" mark, like this...

Code:
[DEVELOPING]
Modding=Yes
;MenuEditor=Yes
;DebugScripts=Yes
Install instructions are recently modified, maybe that is the problem...
