@djkinetic: The window size should be the same as the screen resolution. Can you post a screenshot and your Launcher.ini settings?
@Nepthunian: It's possible, but it would require more reverse engineering to find its location in the code
@edmontonmercurys: Is that the exact error message that you get?


Just a heads up: There will be no more 1.4 releases. The next release will be version 1.5. I can't give an exact date, but it should be very soon. :)

It gives..Your video card is not initialized properly. Please update to the latest drivers. I have the latest drivers. Nhl2004.exe then crashes

It's working ok now. I am using the launcher file in the Nhl 2004 folder. I had it on my desktop before. When you refer to launcher.ini , what file are you referring to? Thanks for your patience guys. :coffee:

NHL.com Interface
[ *  *  *  * ]
Hey Vod, I don't know if I'm doing something wrong but isn't it supposed to display a regular interface instead of a stretched one? Ingame is fine, works perfectly but this stretched interface is bugging me. Am I doing anything wrong?

My settings are:

Width = 1920
Height = 1080
RefreshRate = 60
Antialiasing = 16
Filtering = 16
VSync = 1
TripleBuffering = 1
Fov = 15
InstantFights = 1

Regards,

Franco

The launcher shouldn't affect the interface resolution at all. Have you checked your GPU driver / monitor settings to make sure it isn't stretching the 800x600 image without preserving the aspect ratio?

I have installed everything to a "T" and the game works fine, it's just that the launcher says "not compatible with nhl 2004."

Any suggestions?

Change your .exe version to 1.04, thats the only compatible version with the launcher

To add to that, it needs to be the 1.04 exe that comes with the rebuilt interface. Other 1.04 exe files won't work.

So just download the rebuilt interface and install it again? I did that at first.

If you installed the interface from the rebuilt mod then you shouldn't have to do anything else. It includes both the proper nhl2004.exe and the NHL 2004 launcher. This thread is just for development updates, general discussion and for people who don't use the rebuilt interface.

Hi Vod -- Do you know if there's a way to get your launcher working with the Vintage 96/97 mod? It crashes every time I try, but it may just be incompatible. Really love what you've done. Thanks!

I haven't tried that mod. Does it use the same nhl2004.exe as the rebuilt mod? That's the only .exe file that I support and should work with all conversion mods.
