Thanks DM, it looks like my internet host uploaded an old version of my game service I'll sort that out and the options skipping out ASAP.

What should that screenshot look like though? For 1024x768, it looks right to me?

EDIT: Or are you looking at the aspect ratio (16:9) and not the window size?

No I just changed the res in the ingame options. I managed to fix it by clicking the reset options in the launcher and then tweaking those values. The width should have been almost the entire width of the screen, 1024x768 is rectangular not square

Is anyone else able to start a new career? Every time I try it comes up with a busy screen and then freezes

 

[dancingmongoose]

Can we be able to order by bat/bowl skill in the squad select?

There are also a number of players in the database twice for Australia that I've noticed

 

[dancingmongoose]

I just tried to play an exhibition OD game as Australia against Zimbabwe.

All the Australian players were black.

The Australian kit was brown

The lag was atrocious

Bowling has changed and I know have no idea what to do

@jeetu: I'm on it

@DM: Does the colour, kit & lag problem happen every time you play now?

For bowling:

1. set the seam position (rotate the ball with A/D, W/S) - this determines seam/swing/spin
2. set the ball position in the hand (higher is faster, lower is back of the hand, hence, slower)

The rest of the bowling procedure is the same as before. I'm really not sure what I should do about the bowling. I'm trying to go semi-realistic, but it feels clunky. So if you have any suggestions I'm happy to hear it

Just tried installing the full Mac version available on your site. On loading it asked me to update to latest version which I did. After that, when I start the game, I get a crash:

Hmm, looks like it's struggling with the new font engine I'll test it out tomorrow on my Mac. Hopefully I'll have a new patch tomorrow night.

@kurtkz Most of the things look fine. Got some errors after playing 4-5 matches. But Test matches are really slow to simulate. They take ages to complete. Mostly it takes time when an innings is finished and the other innings start. How to make it fast.

 

[kurtkz]

@ibad17: Hmm, I'll need to take a look at the slowness. Not sure why that's happening. What errors did you get btw?

 

[Pat]

To be honest, simulation is the biggest pain point in CH and one of the main reasons I stopped playing the game I would suggest when you are sitting down to chalk a road-map for future of CH, you should put "simulation engine" very high up in the list of new features. That and if you can copy the bowling controls from DBC. After playing DBC, bowling in all cricket games feels very last-gen

 

[kurtkz]

Hehe, this is true, Pat. Is it the speed of the simulation that's an issue? That's been my biggest problem sorting out.

EDIT: Also, anyone care to give me a breakdown of how bowling works in DBC?

 

[VampyreSquirrel]

@kurtkz I can always make a little video of it with screenshots of the manual... or I can just send you the manual :P
