Syndicate Wars Fan Port Release 0.3.5.1491

[Moburma]

Hello Syndicate fans!

A lot of work has been done on the new Syndicate Wars fan port in the last 6 months, but we realised there hasn't been a new release in a while, so here's a large helping of improvements to enjoy.

Headlines:

• The cut Unguided campaign can now be played from the main login menu. This is early days yet, so expect things like broken levels that can't be completed and having to use the cheat mode to sometimes progress/skip levels. That said there are around 20 new levels to play
• MIDI music now working - this works better than the original game where the second MIDI tune never actually played
• Lots of bug fixes, including the notorious explosives item bug that would break the penultimate Eurocorp mission. Did you know tanks were meant to make a sound when their turrets rotated? They do now!
  
• Most stats now exposed in text configuration files in the config directory - feel free to rebalance the game, including weapon costs/damage, modifications research time, and even tweak what levels happen where (and what rewards you get) in the campaigns
• Saving of configuration based on login name, so you can keep your customised keys, as well settings like high res mode and your favourite CD track without setting them each time on game start
  
• New and improved installer, with support for all known Western releases of the game, including the GoG release.

Note that You can download a patch release that just includes changed files for existing installs. However, as it's now been so long since a release, and so much has changed we recommend you do a new clean install and use the new setup installer if you're on Windows for the best experience.

Thank you so much for this new installer!

I am however still having the same issue as I had with the old installer.

When I run the game in full screen, the display is a negative Black and White, apologies for the off screen image, it's the only way for me to capture it.

I am running Win7 and my desktop resolution is 1920x1080.

If I run the game windowed it all displays fine, but I can't resize the window.

Any ideas on how I can either fix the full screen display or resize the window?

Thanks in advance for any help.

All the best,

Gareth.

Hmm, not seen that before. Are your graphics card drivers up to date? If you could log a problem on the Github we can try and figure out what is wrong.

Drivers are up to date and I have logged the issue on Github.

Cheers

This is such an incredible labour of love. I'm sure there are many of us out there hoping the involvement and effort in making this available never dies. Bravo.
