DwarfCorp News

[p]...Open your steam library folder (for me that's C:/program files (x86)/Steam/Steamapps/common/ ) and find the DwarfCorp folder. Inside it, you want DCMono.exe[/p][p][/p][p]I have changed the settings in steam but - yeah, I have no idea how long it takes for them to kick in![/p][p][/p][p]This is NOT a game update. This is the June 2021 version of the game ported to monogame, which allows it to run on a lot of hardware that the previous XNA version did not.[/p]

Been a while, hasn't it? Well, after months of work, the game finally runs on Monogame. And it's only kinda broken. Porting to Monogame has been mostly seamless except where it turns out we were using XNA wrong. Porting to Monogame also allowed me to (finally!) switch to 64 bit. What does that mean? Well, now I can release a 64 bit version, obviously, which while being somewhat faster, also means the game isn't bound to the 2gig memory limit of a 32 bit process. This means that the largest world sizes work as-is without having to hope they fit in memory. Unfortunately, a few things are still missing - notably, the sky, and all sound. So once they are working, I'll stick up the 64 bit version on unstable.

Small bug fix got pushed today. Special thanks to the fellow that provided the save with broken trade envoys.

• There is a bug where trade envoys sometimes do not serialize properly. I was able to stop this from breaking your save, but haven't found the original issue yet.
  

Small patch on stable that does not break your saves.

• Fixed the cancel task tool.
  
• Fixed the wrangle popup.
  
• Proper icon for the pathing tool.
  
• Fixed a couple of minor crash bugs that came through the error reporting system.
  

The stable, default branch is now in line with unstable. This will break your saves.

The previous stable is available as legacy_august_2020 in the beta builds if you want to keep an existing save.
