Yes. I need to make a note about that in the user guide.

Also, anyone tried the new screen files w/ 4K or greater resolution?

Hi,

Starting a new game with new patch but had a question not sure if it's related to mods.  Could you read the post I started.

Combat delay before casting prebattle autocast abilities

Did more testing and seems like it depends on which sovereign I pick to start the game.  Like the denezins Lord VI will cause the delay every combat but Kulan won't and I think probably all the original sovereigns and factions.  Like Verga doesn't.  My last 2 games that I've had delays in have been with sovereigns I created myself.  One with angels and one with denezins.  

I just created a new sovereign from Altar #K faction with same abilities I picked with one I created for Denezins faction and the Altar one has 0 delay at start of battle in casting those automatic prebattle abilities but the denezins sovereign will delay every combat for 5 to 10 seconds before doing them.   Not sure what's causing it.  If it's the Primeval Elemental but I doubt it cause one I created with Angels faction delays as well.

On a different note though I installed alot of those UI options you have that I could use on my 1280*1024 monitor and makes a huge difference.  Really like being able to see 10 buildings on my cities and figured out I could use the 1380 unit details files with my monitor and looks good without any spill over into equipment page.

Hi Jon,

Likely an animation issue. Will track it down.

EDIT: FIXED, see #2134

Nice! Did the 1380 screen somehow just resized itself?

UPDATE

Beware, there's two different versions depending if you play w/ Children of Storm (CoS) or not.

Patch 2.0.p.7 [Dropbox]

Patch 2.0.p.7 (for CoS users) [Dropbox]

[*] Denizens tactical animation no longer delays battle

[*] Gilden Lion Hot Pants properly referenced for Denizens

[*] Patch 2.0.p.4, 2.0.p.5, and 2.0.p.6 files included

Extract in ...\Documents\My Games\LegendaryHeroes\Mods\

You will need to start a New Game for the changes to apply.

Thanks for quick fix!    There may be other's causing the delay issue.  Cause my angel sovereign I created had a slight delay as well last game.   I can send you my one save I still have of that game right before I won if you want it.  When I tested the premade angel for a few turns I didn't notice the delay.

If I install the new patch to test out sovereigns I should still be able to play my current game I started ?  I'd rather not start over again and I just created a sovereign without the delay issue so not a problem at the moment.

Well I just tested my old savegame.  It's not the angel per say but a mix of 4 hero's mixed with a Pox creature that autocast mass fear at start.  Would the animation fix pertain to the Pox as well since it seems like it's same type creature and animation.

I tested a few turns with Lord VI sovereign and definately seems much faster.

Here is my old save file with angel sovereign army.  You only can do 1 battle before it ends game as diplomatic victory.  It probably has alot to do with the Pox in army.

This screenshot below is my normal 1920x1080 scaled up without your screens:

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1206086640

This next one is 1920x1080 with the small ui option & your screens:

This last one is 1920x1080 scaled up with your screens:

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1206086747

As you can see the edges are cut off & the hero model isn't even showing so this suggests your screens don't work properly with scaling.

Also doesn't matter which of your size options are used all your screens seem to be scaled up to the same size.

In any case, with the small ui your 1920x1080 screens are so small on large screens that your smaller than 1920x1080  sizes are just unreadable.

@Jaylo101

I see what they did for larger UI - and It appears their code is not very flexible - so thanks for that. I would need to create a whole new set of DXPACK files to make use of the larger scaling option (Which I would do blindly given they don't unlock for my display: I use the small scaling 1920x1080 on a 17"). At any rate, I will not create a new set of DXPACK files... There's a few possibilities for you, I would try #3 first:

1. Find DesktopX software somewhere (Stardock doesn't distribute it anymore) and create some UI screens for yourself (and others if you want to share them). If you don't go above 768 pixels in height, you should be able to use the larger scale UI, as far as I can guess from the screenshots;

2. Delete X_UnitStatsDetails.xml as explained in FAQ #12 in A_UserGuide.txt and use the normal UnitDetailsWnd (1024x768) found in XW_UnitDetailsWnd w/ larger UI scaling. Will fix the spillover and you will be able to use the large scaling option; or

3. Use Windows Magnifier. In Windows 10 (and likely in other iterations), you can bring it up in-game w/ Windows Logo Key + Plus (+). If you go to "Views" dropdown menu and switch to Lens view (the one I prefer) or Docked view, it does feel like a decent tool. You can also resize the magnifier box in settings to cover the whole stats section. (Click images to enlarge)

Looks good. Tight, but good, nothing missing.

Not sure if those mods caused your problems, but if they did, removing them later doesn't help with current saved games. Once the game is saved all the relevant mod info is already stored with the save game itself. That is just the way FE:LH works. (and I believe most if not all Stardock games) You will need to start a new game to find out if that solved your problem.
