Bug in Beta 3 installer
Posted: Fri Dec 03, 2021 3:38 pm
It looks like you are using an installer for gtk that is incompatible with the latest Windows 10. The installer would just exit without an error message. I finally tried Compatibility Troubleshooter and it worked using Compatibility Mode for Windows 8.
The bad installer is at:
Freeciv-3.0.0-beta3-msys2-win64-gtk3.22-setup.exe Mainstream client, with map editor
filename is: Freeciv-3.0.0-beta3-msys2-win64-gtk3.22-setup.exe
I am using Windows 10 version 20H2, 64-bit
I'm going to see if the program itself is working, so I may edit this post in the next few minutes.
Edit: Quick testing reveals that it runs normally. But the font size on the Freeciv Help Browser is unreadably too small. Can you show me how to increase it to something manageable? I'm running a 19 inch monitor, and the height of the letters are about 1/2 mm, or about one-third or one-quarter the size of the text I am typing. And it's that old typewriter-style font from 40 years ago, too. Impossible to read without putting my eyes 10 inches from the screen.
