Gallius IV Discussion Board

I just attempted to install the demo from the location you specified. The install aborted when trying to write to my SSD drive. My first attempt failed to create a directory, so I assisted the install by creating one. The second attempt failed to copy files. Overall, the install program was unable t...

DxWnd doesn't yet work for Windows 10 64-bit (for me). But there's hope: I connected the person who works on DxWnd and the person who make fixes in ddraw.dll, and they're having a lengthy technical discussion here:

Someone who works on graphics fixes for older games has addressed the problems I saw in Windows 10. Version 0.2.0 makes Deadlock 2 playable again. https://github.com/narzoul/DDrawCompat/releases/tag/v0.2.0 Download ddraw.zip and extract it into your Deadlock 2 directory. The game picks it up and use...

I'd be willing to help test Open Deadlock. I'm running a Windows 10 (64-bit) system.

The first 10 spies probably fell to the "were discovered and killed trying to flee" message you might get when that sort of thing happens. Any discovered spy is automatically killed. Which leaves 3 spies fighting "2 troopers" and 1 command corp. I've never used a 3 spy army mysel...

Since I don't play multi-player, I'll provide a tie vote in that Deadlock 1 is playable on Windows 10 while Deadlock 2 is not. The video issues with Deadlock 2 make it unplayable for me. Were those issues fixed, the ability to create custom scenarios would be in it's favor. EDIT: A programmer workin...

I can confirm Windows 10 64-bit has trouble running Deadlock 2. Per my post above, I went ahead and upgraded but cannot get Deadlock 2 working. I've tried running "dxwnd", a program that allows fine grain control over running programs - it even has an entry for deadlock II in the dxwnd pro...

Creativity corner seems to be a mix of new scenarios and technical discussions about Deadlock internals. What if we had a dedicated "Fan Missions" forum? No, the activity level doesn't justify it right now. But casual visitors are probably not looking to get creative, and would easily be p...

I like augmenting the difficulty by self-limiting my territory. One approach is only allowing 3 territories to be built up, which limits your research and advantages. The supercharged, player-hating opponents come at you from each direction, each in their own way. You fight morale problems, invasion...

Those beehives might also be territories with a cultural center. Since those are one path to victory - including by your opponents - it can be helpful to see how many each enemy has built. Transporters also add to unit movement (fuel gets transported into their fuel tanks). Humans pay zero for trans...
