Greetings,

i got the Patched game download, and copyed all this assets in the machines folder, but the game stops at the splash screen before Loading strip gets over the N in the title Machines.

Is there a way to replay this game on a new machine?

My PC:

AMD Ryzen 5 3600x
RTX 2060 6gb
DDR4 3000mhz 32gb ram
WIN 11

BTW the patched game works, but with awefull stutters and invisible black textures.

@Vasja1st the original Machines files (patched or otherwise) should not be used with Machines 1.5.

Make a new folder, e.g. C:\Games\Machines 1.5\, and extract the Machines 1.5 game assets and windows native executable 64-bit .7z archives into that.

DrFirebug made an installation tutorial video which might be useful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROpWUIz22qY

@m123 Great, so ok it works better now, but still.
Im getting TEXTURE pop in and out of existance depending on point of view.

And the game randomly crashes, it crashes the most on Meridia Skrimish map.

@vasja1st Yeah, that missing terrain issue seems to affect everyone, as far as I know.

I don't think I've experienced any crashes, but my overall playtime in Machines 1.5 is pretty low.

Maybe see if anyone on the community Discord has any ideas:

i tested it and one issue i found is that i am unable to select fullhd ingame because the number of resolutions is too high for the list. a solution to that would be to make the list scrollable. i am also unable to get it to run in windows 10 on one of my pcs, because it can not select a resolution of 640x480. i suggest just fixing that issue.

Download is not working :(

@GeneralCamel For me my Windows and AntiVirus go nuts when i try to open the files.

@Vasja1st I think that's normal because an unknown developer is providing it. I found another version of the game on GitHub that runs with better graphics, 60 fps, and 16:9. Windows complained about that one too, but I started it anyway. And the game runs very well. Except for something wrong with the spy unit. With the latest version, it often doesn't want to lay mines; it drives to the spot and then simply drives back without laying the mine.
