Yeah, it's pretty much dead, sorry. I already wasn't really playing Civ 5 anymore when writing the launcher. And there's too little interest to warrant spending 1-2 hours updating every patch.

Its certainly something I enjoyed while playing Civ II.

Have you tried mine already? My launcher should fix said problem by updating the game's viewport after removing the window borders. But it apparently doesn't work for everyone. I'll be making a DX11 version once DX9 is working reliably then. Would have gone DX11 from the beginning but it...

The launcher should now be working for the latest version of Civ 5. (works perfectly for me at least) If there is demand I could make the resolution configurable in the config.txt and maybe add a DX11 version.

I've already found a new address to quickly switch to BWF. Its more simple and should be working for everyone I hope! I just need another way to detect reaching the title screen now. New launcher today or tomorrow.

There is a new patch out which broke my launcher. I'll see if I can update it this week.

You mean you would like it as a feature? For me Civ is never scrolling in windowed mode. I even disabled my side monitors and tested different resolutions / game options. The title screen detection may not work due different dll versions (I use Windows 7 x64). I'll get onto that (or use...

Thanks, I'll look into your values later that night. The game should be titled ""Sid Meier's Civilization V (DX9)" if it is the DX9 version. What you describe is the reason I made the launcher. Its happening when you only remove the window borders without updating the game's viewport. My...

Same with smoother borders:

In my experience the AI isn't doing anything differently after the Player has won. Doesn't really seem like they put that into the game. I never played past 2050 though.

Window and title screen are two different things :D Anyway you could download "Civ5 Offset Check + Borderless Window Test.zip" to see what's wrong exactly. I'd look into it if you post your values.

Hm, the detection should work for everyone. I'm only scanning for the title "Sid Meier's Civilization V (DX9)" with class "WinClass_FXS". Maybe you had the DX11 version running while setting up your resolution? The launcher currently only works with the DX9 version and will launch it...

You may know the game StarCraft II (real-time strategy). In SC II there are bots capable of controlling huge amounts of units individually. Single units are constantly being pulled forth and back, the chunk of units even forming an opening for them to pass unobstructed. And its all done in...

Well, no reason why it wouldn't be possible. The only things in Civ 5 that are more CPU intensive than in Civ 4 are Hexagons (which barely make a difference) and One-Unit-Per-Tile. So it can potentially run as-fast or faster than Civ 4. Its not a matter of cpu power or technology really. Civ 5...

I'm definitely gonna have a look at it when it comes out. No rewrite from me though. That will likely be so much work I may as well write my own "Civ" from scratch.
