Reply to deskscapes subsciption in DeskScapes Stardock Forums

Well Wiz, while I understand your high-road response, that didn't really answer the question (which is why I'd hoped that someone from SD woulda answered by now.) If Fences ends up being the only product left that I actually use from the suite, then I'd just renew that and be happy with it. If nothing else I use is getting any updates in the next year and didn't in the past one, then I'd be wasting my money. Brad might not miss my money, but I would.

Reply to Top two difficulties.. I cant even touch them!!! in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

Man, top-two, nothing - I still can't win a game on Novice. I was really, really hoping that when the release version was available with the tutorial, I'd figure out what the hell it was I was missing, or that the Beta was out of whack but...nope. Can't figure it. Dunno. Never one a game of WoM, now can't win FE.

Reply to deskscapes subsciption in DeskScapes Stardock Forums

When is the next update coming? Debating the renewing my OD subscription, but I haven't seen many updates in the last year to really justify it. The main things I use are LoginStudio, Deskscapes and Fences...as Fences just updated and LS seems to be done, it'd be silly for me to renew if the new version of DS isn't coming in the next year. Thanks!

Reply to LogonStudio is gone? in Object Desktop Stardock Forums

I am soooo not the target audience for ObjectDesktop anymore and that makes me sad. Seems like the things in it that interest me are abandonware at this point. I was down to just using Deskscapes (for multi-monitor wallpapers), Fences and LoginStudio....now that's not being updated anymore either? I guess that makes my renewal decision easy for this year - I'll probably just get Fences, since there's a new version. \S

[quote who="Grrm" reply="34" id="3218190"] I recall from one or two years old comments from Stardock FE will be free for those who bought it before 31/12/10 (I personally pre-ordered Elemental SE). Any news/ update on that? Rumors? Did not get anything like personal e-mail with words "pls use this promotion code to get your free copy of FE"[/quote] Check https://store.stardock.com/myaccount/p

Although there were some good games released, nothing has really compared to it. @Voxhumana man you been missing out, well I hope you are prepared for many sleepless nights. You are so right.

2008 ports in TPM Modding PolMach Forums

Okay, I am not a modder, so this might be the stupidest question in this topic, but I've got to ask: I see that people have been porting over the candidates from 2008 into the new game...is anyone working on a mod to port over the scenarios from it? Like many others, I miss running as Lord Kona.

Aaawwwwww! No fantasy elections? That was one of my favorite parts! (The historical ones rocked pretty hard, too.) But, I understand that it's getting pretty late in the game, as it were, to get this installment out. A lean, mean, fighting Political Machine is better than none at all.

Reply to Always have issues importing new wallpapers in DeskScapes Stardock Forums

I've even tried it with no stars and I get nothing. Just added two new wallpapers to the folder, still can't see them. EDIT: Well - I finally just moved everything to a different folder again and they finally showed up. *shrugs* At least it works now. Three monitors - I like being able to put different stuff on each of them, and this program is the best way to do it.

Reply to Always have issues importing new wallpapers in DeskScapes Stardock Forums

Yeah, I just have it looking at this one folder, and in it, there are 12-15 files. For example, I DL'd a Mass Effect 3 wallpaper yesterday, and it's not available as a choice. I then tried moving that picture to one of the default, included filefolders where other backgrounds are stored. Nothing. I took my original folder, copied everything over to a new folder on my OS drive, pointed DS at this folder instead, still didn't find it. There's

Always have issues importing new wallpapers in DeskScapes Stardock Forums

Okay...I've been beating my head against the wall with this for as long as I've had Deskscapes. I mainly use it to have a different wallpapre on each of my monitors, and tend to use ones that are relevant to the games I'm mainly playing at the time. I have it set to look in my me/pictures/wallpapers folder (windows 7, btw) and it never, ever, ever shows all of the wallpapers that I have in there - and more often than not, it won't show the most recent ones
