I tried it on my GF laptop. Normal NHL 04 runs butter smooth at around 50fps at 1280x1024. However, if I run it per launcher and set it to 1280x1024 ingame (so in the options menu) I fall down to 5-15 fps. I turned of AA, AF, FOV, etc. Any suggestions? |

No problem. ![]() Versions 1.45 will be coming soon. This will include an alternative fullscreen mode for those of you who are stuck in a window when playing. It will also include a feature which will allow other mods to determine when an alternative my docs path is being used. Along with that will be an update for my team music mod to take advantage of that feature. For those of you who are wondering, I am still working on version 1.5. Reverse engineering and mapping lua functions is a slow process, but I will have some screenshots soon.

Just to let you know that I have the same effect on my laptop. when I run NHL normally, it runs smooth. When I use the launcher it starts to be jerky. I have no idea why. |

I can't help you unless you include information such as your Launcher.ini settings, Launcher.log contents, your computer specs, windows version and whether or not your drivers are up to date. Your before and after FPS would also help. |

Hey vod would it be possible to have different backgrounds for each mod? I was looking in the registry and there is a favorite team slot. So i just think you could wire it the same way you do with the location detector but have it as an option you can edit. |

Good idea. I'll add it as a Launcher.ini option.

Thanks. I have always hated having to constantly switch between backgrounds for each mod. |

Hey Vod, I've had some problems with your launcher for awhile now and it's finally gotten on my nerves enough to try and find a fix for it. A lot of times when I try to start the game with it, the screen will either go white and I'll get a pop up saying that nhl2004.exe has crashed, or I'll get a black screen which quickly returns to my desktop as though nothing has happened, or I'll get two windows that pop up (one with the title EAGL PC Caps retrieval or something like that). This never happens when I launch the game using the nhl2004.exe or if I use the launcher but set it to windowed mode (which I wouldn't mind, except the F12 screenshot option doesn't work that way). Here are the contents of the log:
Any clue what the issue might be? |

That bug is high priority and hopefully it will be fixed soon; I believe I know what causes the crash, I just need to figure out the best way of fixing it. |
