Hi all, I'm back, and with a new update! It's now available for everybody on Desura. I sent Deadpepper5 a prerelease, and he has made his best video so far (and one of the best videos in general), showing all of the new features:
The only new thing Deadpepper couldn't show is the quick start guide for new users (because he isn't a new user). A quick impression:
You can't see it, but this is actually an animation! I want to tell you much more about this, as well as about how I fixed the problems with old video cards and 32bit systems, but I'll save it for later.
Speaking of Olvand not working on other pcs, I just tried to install the latest version on the server, and I got an error message about a missing dll I'd never heard of or needed before :S. Downloading the dll from the internet solved the problem but I'm a bit worried this might happen to some normal computers as well. We'll see.
Next up: inviting another group of 100 players, and two more groups if they don't report too many problems!
