Definitive Supreme Commander Launcher 1.0.8.2
https://github.com/ageekhere/Definitive-Supreme-Commander-Launcher/releases/tag/version1.082
Fixed an issue in the autohotkey script where when playing on the FAF client after the first game the fullscreen mode stopped working.

Definitive Supreme Commander Launcher 1.0.8.1
Fixed an issue where adding custom games was not working correctly.

Definitive Supreme Commander Launcher 1.0.8.0
https://github.com/ageekhere/Definitive-Supreme-Commander-Launcher/releases

Created a new setting that moves the game to the far left monitor so when it resizes it can stretch across the second monitor.
This fixes the issue where the game was not stretching because of main monitor layout.

Enable If you have 2 monitors.
Disable if you have 3 monitors, your main monitor is in the center and want the game to stretch across to the third monitor.

Make sure that the 2 monitors that the game will run in be of the same resolution.

Here is a visual on monitor layouts, if you have no monitor to the right of your main monitor enable the move to far left.

Definitive Supreme Commander Launcher 1.0.7.0
https://github.com/ageekhere/Definitive-Supreme-Commander-Launcher/releases

Interface improvements
Move game URLs into their own menu option
Added new add custom game menu
Improved some interface elements

autohotkey script improvements
Improved and cleaned up the code
Fixed some issues with the script
Note still using autohotkey version 1.1

Dark Mode
Switches the theme to either light or dark theme

Minimize all windows on game launch
This will minimize all active windows when the game starts

Lock cursor to active window windowed mode.
This traps the mouse cursor within the game while in windowed

Auto set game window size when in windowed mode
This will auto get your monitor size, if you disable this you will need to manually set your monitor resolution in main.ahk

Enable auto dual screen switcher
This will auto detect when to switch from single to dual screen mode, this scripts looks for the loading screen and the switches to dual screen mode. After the game has ended and you are in the end game status screen it will auto switch back to single monitor. This helps with not having to manually switch between single and dual. Note while not 100% perfect it is ready for testing

Start supported games in dual screen by default
if auto dual screen switcher is enabled disable this option else enable this if you want the game to always start in dual screen mode.

crtl F12 switches to dual screen mode
crtl F11 switches to single screen mode
crtl F10 ends the autohotkey script

Game URLs menu
List of pre supported games, enable the ones you want to have in the main menu. Note some game types are steam games. When enabling a local install a dialog box will open, here is where you navigate to your game exe that you are enabling.

Add custom game URL
I have created a new feature that will allow you to add custom games to the interface.

Enter new game name
Enter a name for the game, name cannot already exist

Enter path to game exe
This is either the full path to the game exe
c:\mygame\mygame.exe or a steam game, use steam://rungameid/mysteamgameid

Game exe name
This is the name of the game exe e.g mygame.exe

Game image
The default.png is used if no image is set, when creating a custom image it must be 554x300 and be a png

Here is an example of what it should look like

Definitive Supreme Commander Launcher 1.0.5.0
https://github.com/ageekhere/Definitive-Supreme-Commander-Launcher/releases

New version naming 1.0.5.0
Updated FAF client image and name
Fixed issue in main.ahk where endGameSearch resize used the wrong search area values
Added version-file for file info (version_info.txt) view exe details
Added auto-py-to-exe splash screen
auto-py-to-exe now uses onefile and all other files are in the content folder
Updated python to 3.12.3

@tatsu I see the issue now, when i first made the Launcher the client was still called by the old name. Will update the name and picture of the FAF client.

So it will be called Forged Alliance Forever Client and Forged Alliance Forever will just start the local game from C:\ProgramData\FAForever

@tatsu I am not following, where is it mislabeled?

Definitive Supreme Commander Launcher 1.04
https://github.com/ageekhere/Definitive-Supreme-Commander-Launcher/releases
Improved dark/light theme uses customtkinter for better dark theme support
Cleaned up interface
upgraded to python 3.12.2
upgraded to AutoHotkeyU32 AutoHotkey_1.1.37.02 (Note upgrading to version 2 would require major changes to the code which can be done at a later date)
Added an update prompt when there is a new update
Added Absolute Annihilation
Added option to minimize all active windows on game launch
Added start supported games in dual screen by default
Improved autohotkey code

How the Launcher works is when you put the game into windowed mode it will make it full screen and stretch the game over 2 monitors. You can then either use UI-party or just use the home hotkey to make the game use 2 windows.

@reckless_charger try the Definitive Supreme Commander Launcher https://github.com/ageekhere/Definitive-Supreme-Commander-Launcher/releases/tag/version1.03

@T_R_U_putin You can set in the exe high DPI settings in compatibility, set override high DPI scaling behavior. see if that works

@davaeron Hey, just go to releases and download the Definitive.Supreme.Commander.Launcher.zip and run the exe.

@davaeron said in Resolution does not fit to screen in-game:

I'll check the other suggestion in the comments.

Yeah let me know if it solves your issue, just make FA run in windowed mode and set your game install location (and FAF install location) in settings in DSCL.

Can always try https://github.com/ageekhere/Definitive-Supreme-Commander-Launcher

try updating your gpu drivers, this was fixed by nvidia while back.

Would it be worth it for FAF to contact Nordic Games\Squeenix to see what it would cost or to get more information such as do they still have the source code?

When you enable borderless window (even without using any scrips) it prevents the use of the mouse scroll to the edge. Not sure why this happens.

@jip said in 2 year old bug: lose player control when a player dies/leaves:

We could pause the game as a player leaves

I vote for this.

I agree that having a bounty system would not work well and would only create division and hiring a dev for only a short time to work on something the community is already working on would also not work well as by the time they are up to speed of the code base their time would be up. The only thing here that could work is every X amount of months(say 6) a major improvement or feature is identified and under normal conditions this work could not be achieved by the current dev team. This work would have a set budget and terms and conditions.

If no major bit of work is identified that cannot be done with the current dev team then the money can be saved until then.

So in short if you are exploring the idea of hiring a dev the work that they would do would be significant, out of the skill level of the current dev team and the outcome would either lead to better tools for the devs or a big improvement to the game.

@magge You can also tell them to try the Definitive Supreme Commander Launcher where I did all the configurations.
