Microsoft's Windows 10 Creators Update
« on: April 15, 2017, 03:45:47 am »
Microsoft's Windows 10 Creators Update:
My PC itself has shown no issues at all. It took only 40 minutes total to download and install the Update. I didn't do any preparation except a restart before going to Windows Update and manually starting it.

How are other SMAC/X players are faring with this so far?

In-game I do see one small thing: When a unit is executing a "Move To" order, there is a noticeable pause before the unit icon actually moves at the beginning of its turn. This didn't happen before the Update. It makes no difference if I use Game Mode. All drivers are up-to-date. I'm using Yitzi's 3.5d patch. I don't use PRACX. I'm mentioning this as an item of curiosity, not a big concern; I can live with it.

This got fixed "accidentally."
I was investigating something else and enabled PRACX like so:

[PRACX]
Disabled=<DEFAULT>
ScreenWidth=1600
ScreenHeight=900
WindowWidth=<DEFAULT>
WindowHeight=<DEFAULT>
ZoomLevels=<DEFAULT>
ScrollMin=<DEFAULT>
ScrollMax=<DEFAULT>
ScrollArea=<DEFAULT>
MouseOverTileInfo=0
ShowUnworkedCityResources=0
ListScrollLines=<DEFAULT>
ZoomedOutShowDetails=0


No more pauses!

Look at any photograph or work of art. If you could duplicate exactly the first tiny dot of color, and then the next and the next, you would end with a perfect copy of the whole, indistinguishable from the original in every way, including the so-called 'moral value' of the art itself. Nothing can transcend its smallest elements.
