FEAR Launcher 1.3 in progress

After the huge changes in the FEAR Combat Scene, we have had to focus on other details that were not covered in the past, for example installation of the FEAR Launcher.

Version 1.3 will include some new changes like an (again) 100% working FEAR Server list, Improved management of CDKeys and for the first time, an auto-install-on-run feature that (I hope) will earn not so tech savvy users several mins of nightmare 😛

Meanwhile, MXT CTF Club, RAW and Nightfire servers keep a good amount of players, GameSpy can keep their services wherever they want/can.

 

Not so dead

FEAR Combat was shoot again, this time was a very critical shot, but as we can see, there’s still a lot of people interested on It 🙂

(Visits are x4 than before the Master Server Shutdown).

Dead Day

Well I couldn’t do anything today, I was with too low energy level as to actually do anything, after so many days of hard working in the Launcher/CDkey updater/Language Selector….

Well, My time to work on It will be over soon because of the end of year time at work, so I will try to make It work stable enough for a beta release.

 

Multilanguage/Cross Version Support Complete

So today Finally the Multilanguage Support for FEAR has been completed.

All official languages are ready to go, unofficial languages are almost complete, but I need to make some extra checks to be sure.

Switch to 1.07 version works, but automatically switch to English language (Switch back to Selected language and 1.08 once the Game is closed, so doesn’t stay in 1.07).

Experimental support for launcher GUI translation works, Spanish Is the only language that Is currently translated, but translating the others should be really easy (but I need to test with languages that don’t use ansi characters).

Downloads? Closed Beta will be available once I complete the upload of the language files.

 

FEAR Multilanguage Progress 2012/11/06

Little progress today. Spent most of the time trying to force the German updater to install but that didn’t work at all. The creators made each language use a hexadecimal code for each language, but only tested 2 and couldn’t find a pattern. Tomorrow will continue to extract all other languages and check the hexadecimal code of the existing installers so I can figure out the german one.

Again If someone has FEAR or FEAR Combat installed in German I’d love to get: 5 files from your game, or 2 values from your Registry.

Meanwhile I got Italian files today, idk why I don’t have all of them, looks like the files I already had for most languages were in the Virtual machine I lost in the Hard Disk disaster some months ago :/

There’s a chance tomorrow I work in the language switch in the Launcher. Shouldn’t take that much time, I only wanted some more language files.
