Will The Settlers ever come back?

[Adagio]

Seems like everything is translated, even the speach is in english. I guess they changed their minds about it being German only

[DrSpike]

So you misinformed us again..................

I just wanted you to try the German version of the game, before getting the english version


So who has tried the demo?

[Skanky Burns]

Me. My underpowered graphics card did ok with all the graphic settings to minimum, but as soon as my new powersupply arrives...

Incidently, the menu does change to english if you swap the names of the folders in /data/language/ around.

Evil evil Adagio.

Someone on another forum posted a link to a 90-minutes fix:

I haven't tested it yet, but they say that the timer just goes into negative instead of ending the game

So does that mean the normal demo lasted 90mins, and now its infinate? If so i dont think i like that user 'patch' - and it could affect sales, which is not the way to encourage brave developers imho

The SMAC demo had limited turns, but someone found a way to increase the turns beyond that limit. Somehow, I think the people who like the game enough to use such a hack will actually buy the game also.

I seriously doubt it will affect sales, as you only got one small map to play

Sure they will. That's why they used the hack instead of buying it in the first place.

[Skanky Burns]

And here I was thinking they used the hack so they could get a little bit extra out of the demo while waiting for the real game to be released, as they obviously enjoyed the game quite a bit. Silly me.

[DrSpike]

Yes, silly you.

I hear the sound of a point flying way over DrSpike's head.
