So, TemplePlus exists.

Yeah you should be getting auto updates... I hope you weren't running the game from the setup file each time!

 

I use TemplePlus.exe, not TemplePlusSetup1012, to start my ToEE games. I that correct? It immediately opens the ToEE "loading" page, not the TemplePlus page (with the old-school pic).

 

I just started a game, opened a save file, then exited. But no auto-update happened, as far as I can tell.

edit: and the box for "disable updates" is not checked.

edit 2: after searching my computer, I did find files and a shortcut for 1.0.13! Will use that next time.

 

You shouldn't be directly running the exe from the apps folder, since it keeps around the version before last. Perhaps that's why you keep getting 1.0.12?

Does the game report having downloaded the update and that you should restart the game (in the main menu, bottom right corner)? If so you shiuld have a 1.0.13 folder and the start menu shortcut should be updated as well.

 

Bottom right corner tells me that I have 1.0.12, but I do have a app.1-0113 folder in my appdata - local - temple+ folder.

I may not be using the correct .exe to start up the game, because I have never gotten one to appear in my start menu when installing temple+, although I get a message that there should be one there. I use windows 8.1.

 

Well if you have the 1.0.13 it must've installed the update then.

As for the start menu, I just tested this on a Win8 machine - it's definitely added, but is quite easy to miss with that retarded "smartphone" menu - are you using that? If so I recommend using some 3rd party app to restore the classic start menu.

 

I think I now found it in the expanded start window. It was called just temple+. and is a shortcut, and was in a sub folder of the start menu folder.

 

Thanks for the assistance. Perhaps the problem I had will be fixed now.

 

How is what you describe different than the current situation?
If anything, it might be better to create and update a desktop shortcut for this sort of thing...

 

That's inaccurate - the process is such that you run the setup file, which then runs the config util similar to what you suggested. From then on you need to use the start menu shortcut, which is quite clearly delineated from the configuration shortcut.

Previously, the problem was that the setup itself was commonly mistaken for a launcher, but that's taken care of. The main problem now is that the shortcut gets buried in the Win8 menu. I guess that's the reason most installers default to creating a desktop shortcut.

 

Are all of the Bard abilities in yet?

 

Just had my first combat, with no game crash. Hopefully that will continue.

However, on another note, my level 2 Druid cast produce flame, and he was able to use it every round of combat, which lasted five or six turns. My understanding is that he should have had only two turns of use.
