Re: Version 3 - Ranking Updates

Ok the implementation is more or less complete. I've introduced monthly rankings giving 5 points for a win and nothing else. This can be changed later as the months go by and I get some feedback from ye people out there. The old rankings are still there also and the system used for then has not been...

Re: problem installing freesolitaire3d on lubuntu

perhaps have I to install this pakage? File list of package mono-runtime-dbg in focal of architecture all You can try that, and then you can start the game using "mono Solitaire3D.exe" as far as I can remember. It might help to get "./Solitaire3D" working also. Sorry, I don't have a Linux OS handy ...

Re: problem installing freesolitaire3d on lubuntu

That's a warning so does not look like the problem.

Try typing "./Solitaire3D" from the same folder instead of just "Solitaire3D". Also try "./Solitaire3D.exe".

Re: problem installing freesolitaire3d on lubuntu

Linux is tricky as systems can be quite different. Do you think you can run it in the terminal and get the logs here?
Hopefully opening a terminal and dragging the file there then pressing enter in terminal will do that.

Re: system changes

There are updates to the shuffling coming in Hearts V3 (and will be in the next version of Cribbage also). They are not really needed as shuffling was always fully random as I've mentioned, but the updates do give the user more control of the shuffling which is a feature some might like. More detail...

Re: problem installing freesolitaire3d on lubuntu

You need to extract the zip file somewhere on your system and then double click the 'Free Solitaire 3D' file you will see there to start the game.

Re: Weird error with Solitaire 3D Lite

Hi Fredrik,
no fix for this as I've not been able to reproduce it myself. I hope it does not happen too often and I suspect (hope) its a problem specific to Gaps.
Cheers..

Re: iPad bug still not fixed

This bug will be addressed in the V3 release, still some months away. Seems to be something specific to iOS 15, but I can't confirm this yet.

In the meantime I'd suggest playing in Portrait mode on the iPad as Riddler suggested, or don't chat.

Re: Crashes in ios15

Try rotating your device first to see if that helps.

If it does not help there's nothing else I can suggest at the moment.

This should be fixed up in the next version, due out in sometime in the first half of 2022 (hopefully).

Re: moving my account to a new hard drive

Your game history and ranking is store online so you just need to sign in to the game using the same network username and all will be fine. Your stats and in-game settings etc. will be lost though unless you copy the user files from your old machine to the new machine. See here for information on ho...

Re: Cheaters /ip tracing etc - Possible solution

The unique machine code is not connected to the IP in any way, and yes it will be the same for different users on the same machine. But it could be a good idea and I'll look into it before the V3 release. Of course it won't stop cheaters using another machine to play on (with also possibly a differe...

Version 3 will show coded IPs and not the real ones so you can still compare but no personal information is revealed.

The unique machine ID is interesting and I will look into it.
