great again!

Put in a new motherboard+CPU+RAM yesterday.

No timedemo for MCS but with the exe renamed I have everything turned up and it runs smooth as butter.

Congrats on the new rig 

And I am glad to hear that MCS flies on your new setup now 

The D3 Community MCS Release Candidate testrun really paid out and the ATI fix instructions will go right into the release "readme.txt".

I wonder if anyone with an Intel GPU setup has the chance to give it a go and report back...

What are the ATI fix instruction you ended up with?

I renamed mine "mickeymouse.exe"  :p

[oneofthe8devilz]

Well basically every non-associated ".exe" naming should work, but why giving people a choice ? 

[The Happy Friar]

i'd figure that almost every semi-popular game out there has a profile in the driver & (based on experiments I've done) using something that you know isn't out there works best.

Could you just recompile the GPL engine & pass that out with the mode?  Or, perhaps, in your bat file have it make a copy of the .exe anyway & always run that copy.

For technical and legal reasons I would like to avoid releasing MCS with ".exe" builds at this point in time.

So, no public release any time soon ?

September 27th is the release day. It's gonna be great.

After the public MCS Modification release on September 27th 2015 a small crowdfunding campaign is planned to re-finance the funds I had to privately invest into MCS.

If the campaign is successful, the entire sourcecode including custom MCS Client and Dedicated Server binaries will be released to the public.

Depending on the general feedback of the Mod and the crowdfunding campaign, further stretch goals will get announced, which would target things like:

- Linux, MacOS and Android portation with crossplatform multiplayer support.
- Alternative modern renderer path supporting natively current gen features such as "Shadowmapping, SSAO, DOF, HDR, etc".
- Multiplayer AI/Bot implementation together with new gametypes such as CTF
- Stereo 3D and VR renderer support

If the campaign is successful, the entire sourcecode including custom MCS Client and Dedicated Server binaries will be released to the public.

Once you release binaries of your mod, you will be legally bound to release source code.

As a matter of fact, anyone who already got binaries of MCS (all the testers) have legal right to receive source code.

No MCS binaries have been released to anyone...

The provided gamex86.dll is being released under the D3 1.3.1 SDK conditions like every other mod before.

So how on Earth could they have played online without binaries? o.O

Can't play game without running .exe and for sure your networking code must have been implemented in the engine at least partially.
