Have your say on the new version / Anyone still around?
« Last post by rditto48801 on July 05, 2017, 02:51:01 AM »It seems like the forum is a bit on the 'quiet as a graveyard' side.
A good year since anyone posted anything.
Are you still around, Hyper?
I heard on the Steam forums an update was supposed to be released 'in spring', but here we are creeping into summer and no signs of anything.
The lack of info is causing/allowing a few rather negative people to run around on the MC:F forum on Steam, saying the game is dead, abandoned, saying it was a cash grab, etc.
The 'silence' from any sort of official sources is not helping matters much.
At least there is still the occasional person still trying back/support the game on the Steam forums, despite the lack of any update or information for what seems to be quite a few months at least.
I am hopping 'day job' is the main reason there has been no official word of late.

I had the same problem on my Windows 10 Asus laptop, and if you just go here --> https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=8109
I installed that and it worked perfectly, no additional actions needed

« Last post by Mars_In_Ten on March 03, 2016, 01:28:32 PM »what's the feasibility of using a spherical map?? no edges there. wouldn't It be great to have a somewhat accurate spherical map of the whole planet to explore. waaay too much storage space I suppose, but the way computer tech is developing .......?

« Last post by Mars_In_Ten on March 02, 2016, 09:48:49 AM »Ya, I was wondering about that. One possibly workable area might be something patterned after a portion of Valles Marineris. Also, the very high resolution images of various local terrains could be incorporated into your maps. Would add another layer of authenticity. Giving actual names to some of these features might add too. just a thought

« Last post by Hyper on March 02, 2016, 09:15:39 AM »Thanks, I can get access to some of that. Problem is zone containment once you hit the edge of the world. Flat surfaces will allow the user to see beyond the end and get that ugly clear color. So I kinda have to make the hills around the zone big enough to hide alot of that.
