Topic: Installation

Hey guys,

Well I watched the livestream and it made me want to check out the new release but it has been years since I've played.

My question is, is the v1.5 release the same as the 1.55 release that the Downloads Page has on it? If not, where do I get 1.55?

Also the launcher has a setting to set your resolution, but does it also add the widescreen command?

Re: Installation

Hey Jay,

Good to hear from you.   You can use the 1.5 release and the new launcher to update to the latest version.   The launcher verifies that the mod is updated to the latest version.    There is an issue that the mod is not showing as the latest version, but that will be fixed soon in a hotfix patch automatically through the updater.   

I can't answer about the widescreen command.

Re: Installation

Hey Jay, certainly with the new launcher it offers a range of resolutions, I play in 1920 x 1080 and have no issues so it should sort it all out for you.

Re: Installation

Ok after the latest launcher update(today), when I run it it detects there is an update, but it gives a .net error. It doesn't stop me from playing but clearly doesn't allow the Launcher to update properly. Just thought I'd give a heads up.

The error window came up as "NAppUpdate - .NET Application Updater has stopped working" and here is the info it gives:

Re: Installation

Try running the launcher as administrator. I'm working on this problem.
