Hi,
I've decided to see what changed after a year or so, however I've encountered few difficulties.
First of all, VP worked for me long time ago, I played it way before new launcher.
I downloaded latest version, went throught auto-installer, changed language to english on Steam, and here we go:
First run - directx 9 - game launched with screenshot attached and few more, all regarding .dds file. On very top of screen (yields) I could see like science=unknown, happiness=00000000 and so on.
Tried dx11 - game didn't load at all. Started it, but it got stuck at loading screen (character bio), so i reinstalled VP - same story.
I started disabling all the mods to find out the one that causes the crashes - it is Community Balance Overhaul.
I clicked it and there's a hint to remove LUA folder so I cut it to different path. It worked.
However whole view looks very different than I remember. Starting on map screen: I remember that next to yields icons on top you could see turns remaining e.g. get new tech/new GP.
In city screen it also looks different, there is a button 'purchase gold/faith', I remember you could see gold missing (in red color) for a buy.
When I selected units all orders buttons (fortify,move, build etc.) are on far left, I recall they were horizontal above unit picture.
Now it's been a long time since I played VP, I'm not sure if I remember correctly, thing were changed, mod is not loaded.
Could somebody clarify if view things were changed or it is just my memory. Also could somebody assist if getting old view is possible?
Regards,
Five.
PS. I would like to attach an ingame screenshot, however they are all black.
PS2. I started game the game on king and I had 50 happiness already, is this intended?
