Thanks for reply, it's great to have it in our downloads section, and I'll keep that in mind, as lots of people ask for that. :) Still, our issue here is not unlocking missions, but changing resolution from some too high (which is being set by default) to 1024x768. They all have a game they are able to play but: to play it first they need to change the resolution to a lower one, but they can't do that cause when they run the game they only see the black screen. :)

Hi! The question says everything I think. I would like to see how this could be done, as a lot of players have this problem. Crusader HD, or Stronghold HD, is installed and the game chooses some high resolution which cannot be displayed, and because of this they get message "Out of range" or they simply get the black screen while they can hear the music and everything. I tried opening the file using notepad++, but I had no luck, I only saw some random characters, and lots of some "null"'s in black rectangles. After we find a way to change these settings manually I would make an article about it, or I could put this in this tread within the first message here. I realize we could help by sending our config files, but I'm sure that's not what people want - maybe some of them have their own progress on Crusader trail, some of the campaigns, etc... I will try out some other stuff as well, and yes - this is not a top priority, everything works fine to me. :) Only I wanted to make a text how to fix this issue "out of range", and post it here, and when someone has this issue we would be able to give him the link to that text at Stronghold Nation.

Me neither. Congratulations, Nigel, you earned it. :) Now both of us bear the royal color. :)

Well, since I didn't upgrade the GPU nor CPU yet the tread is not old. :p About the currency - you assumed correctly. :) ...and indeed, 33500 Serbian dinars is not too much. Thanks for telling me about that, I will consider that too, and see what I can get this way, and compare it to a PC I can get here in some stores. Thanks. :)

Same case as with Chris, and my username is sw_eagleprince.

Hi, I just came to this idea... One way to this would be to have this notification on the top bar near "Private Messages" for example, and it would be "No New Files", when there is something we haven't checked yet, and there would be "There are 3 new files" if there are 3 new files for example. Also Downloads Section could be displayed as a section by itself - not as a subsection of Site Questions and Support, and it could change the icon when there are new files just the way a section icon would change when someone makes a new post there. Perhaps this could also work with comments from downloads section. What do you think about this? I do guess this wouldn't be an easy task to do though, but I just wanted to bring out the idea. :)

Well, if that would help, we don't really need the BBcode in the comment system - if that would help. Stronghold Heaven has plain text in comment system too. :) Just an idea, but I'm sure you know better. :)

I like the comment system too, as this way one can see if others liked the map, and he/she can easily read others opinions. We know that there are treads for some of the maps and stuff, but if one visits the page of a file, he wouldn't know where to comment if he likes it. :) There are more reasons I am sure. :) ADITION: Also, regarding those treads for some of our maps and stuff - those are our work which we want to present to our community; we are so proud of our work that we would be able to poke someone in an eye and say "look, isn't it awesome?". :D ...and that's what those treads for our downloadable content are for, but we do need the comment system as well, at least for those content that don't have their treads in the forum. :) Also, we could say that comment system doesn't work so great at Stronghold Heaven downloads section, but that's because they have no notification system, which is great about SHN. AN IDEA: Maybe making notifications for those comment in the top bar like those we get when we get a PM would do well - instead of sending email notifications, I don't know if that would spare some bandwidth... But if we keep both, than it wouldn't spare any bandwidth. :)

At your service. :D

I just click at "view source" button at the right, and I type with no lag now - just the way we used to type before. :cool: But using the editor in Internet Explorer without lad would be great. :)

That's nice to hear. :) By the way, I should tell that the "new posts" link worked well this morning. :)

That's nice, you're doing great job. Now if I feel ever need to make a forum I would be able to use yours. By the way, I assume it is easily translated into another language, say Serbian? :) I mean, it would require patience and time, but it could be done if needed I believe (by the one who needs it of course).

Welcome to community, Narrikis! It is a great thing that more players is now able to play the game. I also hope we could meet at some of our gaming events which we make now and then. If you feel need to play it in multiplayer with us feel free to make here a gaming event on your own too! :) Some of us would be able to join.

I still get the error when I click on "new posts" though... I tried cleaning cookies and I also tried visiting the forum from Mozilla. Same happens.

I do want to add that this PC is not a high end machine, I've got 2GB of RAM, and 2.7 GHz processor (single core). I am sure it would work differently on my other PC though. Also, I am able not to write in WYSIWYG editor, then it would surely work smoothly.

This is the exact message I get. And here is the "new posts"?link I followed. Next time someone makes a post I could try to see what happens if I follow the link with Mozilla, or I could try cleaning cookies and stuff like that... It is Internet Explorer 11. The exact version is 11.0.9600.17801. I checked the add-on now just in case, but as I expected I have disabled java. Should I enable it? Other than that I do not have any "unusual" add-on installed.

You did a great job here! Well done. :) Only I did notice few things. For example, when I clicked on "new posts" from the main forum page I got some error message, I don't recall which one exactly. I believe it was some server error. Also, this editor seems to work slower on my PC when I use Internet Explorer. In Mozilla it works great. Still, this thing regarding the speed - I am not sure of it, but only it seems that characters appear short time after I type them. When I do to view the source this issue in Internet Explorer is no longer present. I don't mean to be the one who complains, I only want to help, and I like what you did, although I haven't see all those new stuff I think.

Do we have a tread for chat and those other irrelevant stuff? :) I believe that we had a tread where we left few jokes, but I am unable to find it though... Also, we could have some recovery room or something like that like at Stronghold Heaven, but again, I do think that we already have it, but I can't manage to find it. :( Nevertheless, this is what I found today on 9gag... :D I meant to share it with you, as I believe some of us will surely recognize themselves in this. :D http://9gag.com/gag/a9L09PL PS: If we do have a tread for this, a apologize for making a new one for this. :)

I see, Lord Banshee want's to have a revenge, and he wants to make it a HD revenge. :D

I didn't notice Mathew's second message here. :) But regarding my needs, I would like to upgrade my older PC enough so I could play Stronghold 3 or Crusader 2 like I do on my newer PC, and I would like to upgrade it enough so I could play those with less lag when mora stuff are going on the map. :) It wouldn't have to be a lot better though. I mean, I need it for busines, yeah, for busines. :D

Thanks you for your help guys! I have noticed that I would need some time to read everything Mathew showed me, and I shall do that tomorrow, as I still need to finish something first until tomorrow. Regarding your offer TemplarMERZ, thank you for that. That is exactly what I would need when buying a new PC - advices like that. :) The only thing right now is that I don't want to throw away this PC yet - as long as it works, and as it is powerful enough for some basic needs. My idea right now is to keep it, and make it somewhat better, although I do realize this motherboard is outdated. Because of that this time I wouldn't go to pay much money for this upgrading - I could find some used parts too, and I know a guy who knows how to test those used parts. Later I could give this PC in a little bit better shape to my parents, and I would get myself a better PC having in mind just those things you mentioned - being able to upgrade it in some future. :) I also plan to upgrade my newer PC. Maybe I could see if I could buy a new GPU for my newer PC for example, and to move it's old one to my older PC... Maybe I could do the same with CPU's as well.

Nice! I'm going to see how was it looking from your perspective now. :) Also, I think it would be a good idea to have a sticky tread for those videos. :)

LOL, what is that? :lol: "slow connection"? :lol: I had that internet speed until last year, when they decreased it to 1MB/s, and before December 2013 I had 160kB/s. :D I really don't understand Microsoft at this one... Joking aside, this seams to me more like some temporary problem. Maybe if you try the same now, you wouldn't get the same message? :what: Also, I do realize that internet providers have better technology than those in Serbia, and that this is not consider as a fast internet in UK. Also, sorry for jumping in like this, but I was really surprised to see they tell 5MB/s is slow connection...

Well, regarding the use of catapults when it is about attacking a castle, it is untrue that they can easily destroy it. Maybe you can say that about trebuchets, as they have bigger range, and they can be placed behind some hills. Also, if one doesn't put them together in one place, they are not an easy target for defending mangonels. On the other hand, catapults have the same range as mangonels, and one they reach the range, mangonels destroy them instantly. They don't destroy them all, but very quickly mangonels will destroy most of catapults, which is most important. Only the defending player needs to have enough stone on his stockpile. What do you say about not putting limit over catapults, but only not to allow deliberately attacking troops by catapults? Sometimes you do need a lot of catapults to destroy a castle walls, especially if the terrain suits the defender more. And what allowing trebuchets to (deliberately) attack enemy troops? I know one cannot for sure tell if someone deliberately shoot enemy troops with catapults, but it would be a matter of honor. :) ADDITION: I have created a tread here about those rules. We could debate it there, if you wish. :)

Hey, guys! I wanted to ask this one question, as I have this one older PC, and I tough how I could improve it a little. Not my newer one, but this older one. Firstly, I would like to know do I need to look after something specific if I wanted to replace my GPU or CPU? When one wants to change RAM memory, he needs to pay attention if it is DDR2, or DDR3 for example. For this one I needed DDR2 for example. So, would any newer CPU or GPU work on this PC / its motherboard, or I need to pay attention to something? The other thing I wanted to ask is this about processors having more cores... Generally speaking, what is better - having a single core 3GHz CPU, or having a dual core 1.5GHz CPU for example? And, similar question to quad core processors... Is there a way to know what are "equivalent" single core and dual core processors? Thanks in advance!
