' Wrote:I apologise for my ignorance but I don't understand what this patch is with the file mentioned.
Does this edit the physics of the game, with the aiming of guns in turrent fire, changing the resolution and stuff like that?
Could this cause me any problems on another Discovery server if I try and connect after doing my testing?
Thanks guys.
There's a list of features and changes in each release post, like here, here etc...look through the "Discovery RP 24/7 Server Announcements" forum.
If you connect to another server, I suggest you will be kicked or smth, I'd better save backups of original files and replace the new dsace.dll with the old one for playing on another servers. BTW, only the last dsace (ver 11) is allowed on disco.
Sometimes i have blackscreens, when i change my account via Launchpad.
Yesterday i have had 2 blackscreens in a row.

Normally, the highlighten part appears when i just start the game. In this case, it was 20 seconds after i got a blackscreen.
The green part is the normal case, when i just log on and undock as usual. In this case, it was the 3rd time i tried to reach the space.
FL seems to check all the options twice perhaps? Also, why does the "Freelancer started" notice appear, when the game is already started?
My win7 closed FL.exe around the time, when the highlighted entry was made. Around 20 seconds after i got the blackscreen after undocking.
I posted it here, not in the bug report section, because i think it is related to the new dsace.dll.
Quote:Wanted to ask: Will Turret Zoom be in place at all in .86?
According to the first post:
' Wrote:At some point in the next few hours I will disable turret zoom as the public testing period for this has finished. Next time you will see it is in public beta 1.
Yes. From what I understand this was just a test to check that it worked for many different people with many
different setups and ships. It wasn't balanced at all to different ships in this test phase, which is why it was
only turned on for a limited period of time.
First, I want to thank Cannon for the DSAce.dll and making an awesome game even better...
I also would like to thank Error for his assistance in the installation.
After reading this thread I was hesitant to install it. I was afraid I will experience freeze screens and so on. I just installed (nothing risk, nothing gain, and it is working good. If I experience any problems with it I will post here with screen shots.
Quote:In high-lag environments, the player's computer doesn't take the screenshot until it receives the 'return signal' from the server; ie. when the player receives the automatic timestamp. Therefore, if you press Prnt Scrn, it will capture what is on screen when the timestamp arrives, which is possibly not what was on screen when you press the button.
Yeah, I'm thinking that my way of doing the timestamp is wrong and I'll have to rethink this.
Quote:By the way, could the "turret zoom" also be added to the normal view? I mean, on some vessels your camera is just so close, all you see is your ships a...uhm, engines.
I will look into this.
Quote:Recent issue, FL has started crashing on undock sometimes when i first boot up the game. Never had this before i installed this.
I think I've got a fix for this now. Thanks.
