brood war got more popular than w2, that was X years ago and now(look korea), they got $$ cash tours, if w2 got probably we would got more players, look at w3, pros like grubby, moon etc still sometimes playing cause there is $$ ( and this is not 400$ per tour but 40000$)
w2 hadnt ever official tour for example WCG, when it could be in 2003 when w3 just came out
Is the newest version of combat still compatible with warvid? Every time I try to run in on win 10 it says war2 not found =O...yeah. you can start warvid before starting war2, but you'll need to start war2 then tab before you do "start recording". insight is the same way.
For me the main thing I want to see is the windows 8/10 ddraw files being added to new combats or option to click them when installing. I think we probably have a nice chunk of people automatically turned away when they load up the screen and its all jumbled and may miss out on seeing this separate download.I'd like this too, it's by far the most common problem people have. I know it's not fully tested in all environments but so far it's worked with 0 issues for like 95% of people i've told to use it. it'd be great to have a checkbox to enable it, then if it causes problems they can just reinstall without it.
@iLThanks probably mousey, mentions is a great thing helped me to see this topic!
Ever get the chance to see this topic?
In this modern day in age, file sizes are not as problematic anymore since both hard drives and USB flash drives hold much, much more space than they used to hold in the past.You're definitely right! That is most likely my old-school stereotypes: to make programs as small as possible. Need to add music+speeches+videos into next version. At least to make it as an alternative for current one.
We could ask the user directly if the install worked after his first launch and try the different settings for him if it didn't until we find the right one or we run out of options in which case we prompt him to ask on the discord/forum for help.Great idea!
I think the same for the game files overall I think if it has all the musics and sounds and cinematics/campaigns it might help more people coming back as they wont feel like the game is broken or something's missing. Even though I guess most of us don't actually play with the music on and certainly barely ever play the campaign, when people come back they are more nostalgic and they might want to play the campaign first before they play online just to get themselves back on track, plus they wont end up in someone's game rediscovering everything while being cursed at.And you are definitely right again! All these campaigns, briefings, videos and music is very attractive for nostalgic players, returning back after years. And almost useless for those who play every day.
So we need 2 versions: first of all full version for for those who joined for the 1-st time (600-700Mb) and also the small version (50-100 Mb) for those who just want to play on the server.
