MarkoH01: No, even the dgVoodoo option does help in this case - same goes for dxwnd afaik.
Blasted :-(

zambrey: Judas, could you please create the installers for Dead Cells. Thank you.

JudasIscariot: Fixed :)
Wow, thanks, that was quick :)
Now, if you would do the same for Opus Magnum... *wink* *wink*

MarkoH01: No, no, no ... the glass is half FULL not half EMPTY ... don't you want to learn (and be happy)? ;)
So, I should be happy that I got at least one out of three? If you put it that way... yeah well, it could be worse, no argument there.

Do you mean to shut down the windows explorer process?

A bit like that. (But I was more referring to the fact that a flag you did not expected anymore still appeared after all - might be the case for the missing two as well ... fingers crossed).

Exactly

Take a look for the known Win7 issue here.

It's not like delayed flags is anything new here. There have been more than a few cases where flags showed up days later. And for someone like me who checks in here, and was informed of the updates, I'd rather they don't show up at all now. So, please uncross your fingers.

Not a fan of this, but I think there was another oldie that was conflicting with that windows process.
I've not installed it yet, but reading this, I think I'll put it on my Win XP system and see if that works (better). Curious, would running it in compatibility mode on Win 7 make a difference?

No (and I just checked it to be absolutely sure) because this is not an incompatibility bug of the game it's just a problem with how Win7 adresses 8bit color palette. If the game would have 16bit colors the problem would not even be there.

MarkoH01: Titanic color palette messing ( black scren error on Win7 is not fixed even though I told them how to fix it. So I was wondering what - except for the tour mode files - has changed by comparing this new version to my bacup. What a surprise: only a few Galaxy info files and nothing more. So I really wonder how this "potential fix for black screen issues (Windows 7)" should have ANY potential to fix anything.
they might have added some compatibility fix that gets set during the installation. You might not see that by just comparing the game files.
The fact that it doesn't work on your system is the reason they called it a potential fix :p

(of course, you might also be right and they simply forgot to included the fix when building the installer, who knows ;) )

Like I said I also checked the registry. When I experienced the issue the first time and had to look for a workaround I studied the old regkeys quite a bit (was even wondering if they might know about it since according to one regkey there is a process explorer.exe marked as "block" like config entrys for the GOGlauncher they are using). Could not see a difference here either. Of course I still might habe overseen some tiny regentry anywhere in the registry but in general that's not the way GOG is using the registry. Most keys are in the same area.

Yes, I saw your edited in link after I posted.


Going a bit off topic, I just downloaded The Walking Dead: Season 1 installers, and wonder why they contain the term "patch_1" in their naming. Is it supposed to indicated that the patch 1 of 09.07.2015 is included?

I wasn't really thinking of the keys GOG is usually adding to the registry, but the gazillion compatibility options that Microsoft offers.

Which btw. are also stored in registry ;) But anyway it does not matter. Like you said no matter if they did add the potential fix or not - they called it potential fix so they have not given up on fixing this yet. I use my workaround while I am waiting for a real fix.

[CHANGELOG UPDATED]
Patch 2.2.0 (05 January 2018)

Lots of battle optimizations:
- don't call unnecessary updates on enemies
- don't call unnecessary updates on effects
- cache results of effect palette swaps rather than doing it EVERY SINGLE TIME
- Fix occassional NaN values for a projectile's angle, which would trigger a while loop of SIX MILLION ITERATIONS (every update!!!!)
- Throttle how many times an enemy's HP bar can be redrawn per unit of time (so it's not wastefully spammed when playing at e.g. x16 speed)
- Cache results of scaled tiled bitmaps to reduce drawing time
- Increase capacity of QuadTree nodes
- Added surgical speed throttling -- if there's too many enemies on screen, x16 and x8 speed modes are disabled until you kill enough off. You'll only ever really encounter this limit on the endless bonus battles, and it should effectively increases framerate by not overtaxing the game.
- Replaced "hot" text fields in battle with bitmap text fields, which update faster and cause less lag
- Avoid playing multiple identical sound effects in rapid succession
- Preload enemies to avoid stutter on the first spawn of each wave

Other stuff:
- Fix controls menu bug where you can create invalid control configs in gamepad mode
- Fix black screen on exiting menu in battle if sprite mode has ever changed
- Fix auto-closing gamepad controls change popup
- Fix on-screen button prompts not updating on controls change in save slot screen
- Remove various problematic window resolutions from the video options
- Fix controls menu gamepad navigation
- Fix steam achievements not always reflecting what you have on Steam vs. what you have in game
- Make journal text default to latin font if it tries to do Korean/Japanese but finds an untranslated string
- Fix this crash - start a game in hero mode, try to recruit a character, and cancel out of the warning popup
- Add various crash guards
- Fix cursor crash in movies menu
- Add antialiasing to projectiles
- Lots of locale tweaks to fix bugs
- Show the text "loading" between screen transitions so it's not just black
- Fix German/Spanish text overruns in cutcenes
- Add back/forth cutscene actions for gamepad
- Fix cursor navigation of enemy tooltips on battle preview
- Switch journal to bitmap text so it loads faster
- Fix soft lock in party skill screen
- Fixed full-screen flash effects persisting after a screen transition
- Fix missing skill lock text in party menu
- Fix missing tutorial texts when navigating with the gamepad
- Fix broken symbols text in cutscenes
- Fix crash in party skills menu
- Fix cycle defenders & spell selection bugs
- Fix accessibility menu glitch (save slot specific options accessible outside of a loaded save)
- Enemies now selectable in gamepad mode
- Battle preview now shows a line crossing out already earned rewards
- Fix crash in controls menu
- Fix bug that shows incorrect character portrait when selecting an "ally" (computer-controlled guest character)
- Fix item sorting in party screen
- Make both flashing and screenshake in cutscenes respect the accesibility settings
- Fix wave block tooltip on wave block destruction
- Fix tooltip lingering when enemy is killed
- Fix boost disabled button placement in mcguffin menu in final battle
- Fix buggy gamepad menu interactions with spell menu
- If a name is entered in japanese/korean and the language is later switched to English or another locale, so that a text field with non-asian characters
ever attempts to display asian text, display the asian text using romanization (Hepburn or RROK) rather than display nothing at all (this does not change the underlying data).
- Optimize party screen so it's faster to navigate with the gamepad
- Fix some issues with gamepad navigation on the battle screen
- Switched to bitmap fonts for many screens - should be more responsive, particularly when using gamepad navigation
- Fix artifacts in berserker animation
- Fix enemy death animations
- Make color selections for healer, knight, mage, slightly less terrible
- Add dragon roar sound effect
- Add sound effect to indicate first and last enemy wave
- German, French, and Spanish translations now officialy out of beta, should be 100% complete.
- Fixes to the journal -- shouldn't have ugly overlaps and layout problems in
any of the locales now.
- New sound effects
- Fixed a few weapon icons that had some bleed-over
- Simplified Spell "Need PSI" and "Wait" overlays to be less buggy in other locales
- Fix monastery tutorial (keyboard vs. gamepad mode)
- Fix some of Ketta's battle portraits
- Fix battle dialog window position in some cases
- Remove OUYA/Logitech button icons so I have less things to maintain
- Fix knight's generic HD sprite icon
- Combined splash screen with loading screen
- Add James Gray, Lucas Pope, Syrenne McNulty, and Nilsen Filc to credits
- Remove old website links from credits
- Made gamepad button prompts have a subtle animated effect (for non-steam-controller mode)
- The new little twinkly star on the title screen is not a special secret, it's to fulfill a boring requirement on consoles that no screen is ever entirely static
