There's no ETA at the moment. The holidays and other obligations have slowed development, but it shouldn't be much longer.

Just wanted you to know that the latest beta gives tremendous performance boost for the better (compared to my old install which was two months old version or so).

It's smooth as butter. Everything working fine. :)

PS: Does Period time in minutes in OT = 0 mean default game tine... so the clock will be ticking as fast as it does in actual periods?

Bug: Last minute timer default setting = 60 is not 60 seconds. It's more like three or four minutes. I'll play with different settings later. Maybe it should be 20 (for 60 seconds real time)?

You're right. The default value is actually 29 and it doesn't represent seconds. This is fixed in the next version. :)

Hello, Vod! I have 2 questions. I would like to ask, can somehow increase the number of teams in the NHL dynasty to 31 and reduce the number of divisions from 6 to 4? The second question, whether it is possible to fix the number of seasons spent in the dynasty mode. If I put in the launcher in 2016, it remains only play 6 seasons. And GM office in my experience is 14 years.

Hello Apatch. All of those things are possible and high priority, it just takes time to reverse engineer and understand the code.

I got the game working in widescreen but the interface only shows up in the top left quarter of the screen. Is this normal or is should the interface be in widescreen mode as well.

It's normal for the interface to be permanently 800x600, but it's not normal for it to be in the top-left corner. Try playing in fullscreen window mode.

I am having problems with goal songs. They are just so quiet despite the mp3 files having a fine volume. I tried to boost the ''Music Volume'' in menu but it's locked at the lowest level, can't change that. Any idea?

Until the next version you have to edit ditties.lua in launcher\scripts\user\

Is it possible to put a quick FOV changer to the Launcher? The older versions zoomed in and out much faster, with quick jumps. That was handy when you wanted to take very large FOV shots from the arena. Now when you hit the PGUP/PGDOWN button the FOV changes very slowly. It's nice but it'd be nice to have a quick zoom button too.

Hold shift when pushing page up \ page down or edit FOV Modifier.lua and increase the two instances of "0.2"

Vod, have you found any of those values that affect the team momentum during the season? When you lose an OT game that will affect your team momentum and your players' performance gets worse. It's very apparent during the season. When you start winning you usually keep winning because your team momentum gets high.

Removing this effect would be very effective way to to increase the game difficulty in "natural way", without having to resort to giving any speed and goalie advantages to the CPU.
