d2tm starts playing menu music, but no cursor, and no selection via keyboard. Just staring at the menu. Can be closed only with task manager. Menu is shifted to the right a bit. I am running at 125% DPI, maybe it matters.

windowed.bat says 

Error: Allegro could not create the game window at resolution 1920x1080 depth 32.

Thank you for playing Dune 2 - The Maker

OS: Windows 10 x64. Version: 0.7.0 - unpacked from zip and ran d2tm.exe.

(DPI does matter unfortunately)

VictorZakharov commented 2 years ago

@stefanhendriks It worked after overriding DPI scaling by the application, thanks. I played through the first 2 missions.

Controls aren't very convenient though. For example, I prefer right click to give orders like Starcraft. Also UI is very small, can barely see anything. Unit/building price is in the top left corner, not very logical placement. Should be inside the purchase/build tile, or as tooltip/overlay on hover. Would be great to automate placement of tiles/foundation like some kind of queue, it gets boring pretty quickly. No support for movement waypoints with shift - can be useful for scouting. Thanks for zoom in/out, didn't expect that. This is all material for other tickets, or probably have been mentioned by others.

You can close this one, thought I think this DPI issue needs to be fixed, since all other games work fine without the override.

Hi .Previous version 0.6.0 worked for me , this one 0.7.0 no longer . Stuck at menu , two mouse cursors - one not moving ,and second ,real ,which is moving ,but have not effect .No item can be selected from menu . Can be closed only by killing process . Trying to run on ubuntu 20.04 with wine . 1920x1080 ,display scalling set to 100% . In windowed mode the same,not possible to run game .Log file says : install keyboard and mouse success .But none of controls work. Please investigate . P.S. to exclude wine , just tried to run 0.6.0 - still working , so issue is with game itself , also log file of older version is practically identical .

@stefanhendriks Hello ,any news with 0.7.0 version solutions ? Still unable to run ... Also noticed , two dll files are missing in 0.7.0 , tried to copy them from 0.6.0 , but nothing changed .Also tried to copy entire 0.6.0 to empty folder ,and decompress 0.7.0 files with overwriting (like version upgrade), still no luck . Menu starts with mouse cursor in center ,but that cursor didn't move , when real mouse is moved . No reaction on keyboard keys .Exit only by killing process . Screenshot from 2023-01-01 00-38-53

hi, as far as I can tell there shouldn't be missing DLL's. The DPI's issue is known but can't / won't fix that soon. About scaling, you might be able to make it more playable using a lower resolution (ie 1024x768). The UI is inspired from C&C games, so I guess if you prefer SC2 this might be getting used to :)

There are plans to make controls customisable.

Yeah I'm a SC2 guy.
