What about the dynasty start year? How come it's not working for me?

It should work if you use the nhl2004.exe that comes with the rebuilt mod. I no longer support any other version.

Here's a new 1.4 build (1.42). This build has no new features, just optimizations and fixes. If you had performance problems with the previous build, please let me know the results after trying this one.

No problem. A large portion of the code was refactored, so please let me know of the results. :)

With the older builds I had to go back to about 800x600, or the game would crash on startup. But this newest build works perfect for me. I can use 1680x1050 without any problems now. Thanks Vod.

That's good to hear. :) Although there may be more 1.4 releases, 1.5 is still being developed concurrently. I will have some screenshots to share soon.

Hello, sometimes when i score goals, and when the player is shown in replay mode, or if i just watch replay and also in the line change menu my fps drops to 5, just felt like reporting (i turned off vsync but it doesn't change anything)

Whats your field of view at? If its a higher FOV the game has to render more of the arena + crowd, which could slow down FPS if your graphics card isn't the best

The FOV thing for me is set to 15 as i believe is the default one right? And i don't think it's because of my GPU because it's good

Your FPS will drop during replay cutscenes with or without this mod, even if you have a good system. It's because more of the crowd/arena needs to be rendered due to the camera angle. It's more pronounced with this mod because of the increased resolution and FOV. NHL 2004's renderer isn't very efficient, so it's a hard problem to tackle.

I see, but now i also noticed i have slight lag even while playing normal match. I ran the game from the old exe (without your mod) and the game runs fine, i guess i will stick with it.

Every graphic setting you increase will result in performance loss. It's up to you to balance the settings based on your system.

I added the 3-2-1 point system in the launchers.ini file, but it seems it doesn't work for the KHL mod, i still get 2pts for regular win, i thought it was supposed to work?

Are you using the nhl2004.exe file that comes with NHL 2004 rebuilt?
