Patch to Deluxe 1.95 Available!

It will also do it if your new image is not the correct size. Oops. So much for using a custom image, for now.

That's not true. You can use a custom size - the min size for correct display is ~392x536. The flicker issue only results when you try and close the start menu using right-click from the taskbar.

It also appears the patch has been taken down from Strategy First - I wonder if MM is making a few fixes...

SFI removed the patch from their site after too many people who had the downloaded version (already 1.95) tried to apply the patch - anyway the forum moderator said another patch was due for d/l version, so I suspect another little patch is on its way.

MM mentioned in an e-mail that the start menu is needed for the Steam version, and that so in making all versions the same it got put in regular. However, he didn't reply specifically in reference to fixing the 'bugs' it introduced.

So, steam requires the start menu, eh?
And all this time, it was supposed to be just a distribution channel.

I really hope the start menu dosen't screw up PBW.
And I hope we can get a command line flag to skip right to the game loading.

You've got stone, m'lad.

MM told me that the startup screen was necessary for the Steam version and to be fair, you can press any button to move through the publisher/MM screens in no time. I told really care about the extra 3 seconds it might take.

He is going to fix the missing startmenu.bmp problem with mods for the next patch.

Thanks for the update. I have downloaded the patch before it was taken off the site, but I haven't applied it yet. I think I'll wait for the next new patch, if and when it comes out. Actually, I'd prefer that Aaron concentrate his energy on SEV...

I'm grateful that the beta testers are pushing Aaron to make SEV a great game.

I would prefer that Aaron spend more time working on SEIV at the moment since it is the game that is currently being sold by SFI.

Sorry Shrapnel, I really wish you guys were still selling the game...

SFI seems to be having some difficulty managing things at the moment.
