I might buy it, but what's putting me off so far is that it appears the maps are just the size of one ASL board? Is that the case? If so that does put me off. I used to play games with 8-10 boards (probably never finished them to be fair!) Can someone confirm the max map size?

Pink goes out.

I hope this help you.

Thank you! Setting the direct draw fixed it - I didn't need to use the windowed mode

I can't patch anything when I have no idea what is causing the issue. And if it's happening because of some setting on your video card then I probably can't help at all. I need answers: 1. What does it look like right after installing the game before patching? You shouldn't have to monkey with anyt...

I am having the same issue. I tried using DXWnd but first had an error about no screen modes. Reinstalled and tried again and now when I click btr, I get some accessing and then nothing. There is a similar issue with WitP AE, although that seems fixable with some amendments to the shortcut. Overall ...

Its strange that WASD works on the battle map but not the strategic map

I just bought the game on Steam, but it looks like I'm going to be refunding. I can't scroll the map effectively on the touchpad of my laptop. Like most touchpads, it double taps for right click, but then you can't drag. I can click in the lower right to drag but this is very uncomfortable and (due ...

I've tried to think of why they might have restricted the 3d view but I can't think of anything that makes much sense. It could be performance I suppose, but I'm not sure what difference it would make. If you change the angle via the keyboard shortcuts and then rotate with the mouse, you can just ab...

Please provide a full 3d rotate around ships, planets, etc - as you already do in ship designer view. When clicking on a ship, provide the view options (bridge, trailing, camera lock) in the info panel that pops up (there's plenty of room). Most mice have middle button so allow us to config click to...

I just played DW:U again for a few minutes and I must say the new graphics in DW2 are on a completely new level so perhaps 'half-arsed' is a bit of an exaggeration for effect... but it's seeing how nice the graphics are (for a huge strategy game) that makes it even more annoying that the 3d view is ...

I wish we could assign drag to move map to middle mouse button, then we could drag select with left button and rotate with right (which also does movement orders). That's what would feel most natural to me and that would fix what your describing. I'm really struggling with the intuitiveness of the c...

Well that's sad as it appears there really is no way to properly 3d rotate the camera view. The keyboard buttons for certain angles is incredibly clunky and, frankly, crap. We've lost things like the planets orbiting the stars to gain 3d and then the 3d we get is half arsed.

I love the new graphics but can't seem to rotate in the y (up/down) axis, only in the 'around' axis. Is there any way to override this? I notice there are keys for high, low and default viewing angles but this seems nuts. Why can't I rotate around a planet or ship in any direction? Hopefully someone...

Is there a tutorial for how you quit? I bought it and only had 20 minutes for a quick look. For the first time in 40 years of gaming, I couldn't work out how to quit the game!

Thanks Vic. I do. have a PC and although I don't buy games for it anymore I'll probably make an exception in this case. I got so many hours of fun out of Advanced Tactics and this looks like that on steroids!

Hi Das,
Loved your Distant Worlds videos... just wanted to let you know

Big fan of these devs. I think I know the answer (as it was the same for the previous games) but any chance of this coming out on MAC?

If not, anyone know if it runs under WINE or crossover?

Thanks

Sorry, I'm playing catchup... can someone let me know which version of TacView I'd need to buy to use with CMO?

Also, just to confirm, I don't NEED to buy it? (if I don't want the FOW busting view)

Thanks Steve. I take it there's no way to surprise yourself with the scenario editor insofar as you'll know what forces you've placed where?
