Windower 3.42 Released

[Eticket]

Is there a significant difference between this and the 3.42 beta that was out for a while?

Thank you very much (^.^)d

I am just glad I am not going to have to log in every time I dc.

And since you are here, any update on V.4?

Isn't this the same as the regular crash bug? VS installs a debugger which is invoked when an app crashes, instead of getting the normal crash message.

All the plug-ins are the same so I can just copy and paste my old ones over yes?

uhh, does anyone else have auto-translate text showing up in japanese since updating? the only ones that don't seem to be affected are in search comments, everything else, ls chat, shout, say, tell are all displaying in japanese for me. don't have anything IME-related loaded up, nor do I have the JP client installed.

edit- i should also add, it wasn't doing this initially. i d/c'ed, got booted to POL, and went straight back into the game, started happening after that.

For those asking about dualbox controller issues, Aikar left this in a pre-release topic on Windower forums:

We have identified the issues with Windows 7 and it is now working with 3.42 under Windows 7 Retail!

I will be working on trying to fix the dual box controller issue and fix a few other known things and try to get a beta out and then a release within the next few days.

Nothing was changed init.txt wise in this release. If you already have Windower 3.41, you simply need the Hook.dll file from 3.42.

You may manually download Hook.dll here: Hook.dll

Exact same thing happened to me, D/C, relog, and all.

Silence broken on this one? First time in over a year that I've seen "Equipment changed"

Dot.

Also you fixed the Microsoft e-Home Infrared Transceiver bullshit, which is awesome. It still drops my FPS if I don't disable it, but at least now I won't have the infuriating experience of booting up my PC, getting through POL and then having it crash on me after pressing Play just because I forgot to disable the stupid thing.

[Calekor]

Well game_minimize finally works in Windows 7, and no crash on exit... I might be easily pleased but boy does that make me happy!

It's the older Silence DLL. You'll need to download the most current, which is the one you had before.

Curious.

Was the compression method reverted back, or did the changes just greatly add to the file size? 3.41 was 1.6mb, 3.41b was 500kb (using newer compression), and 3.42 is 1.1mb.

[Moridam]

hmm, tried replicating the JP auto-trans issue from before, after relogging POL crashed as it was transitioning to the in-game title screen.

[Darte]

Hmm my spellcast seems to unload itself if i equip portafurnace (new item for synergy). Any workarounds? kinda annoying
