Hello Everyone,
Hopefully someone can help me. I recently downloaded the Bacon Mod + RetreatUE + Das Chrome but had problems running the game because my windows version was windows 10 20H2.

Once I figured out that I had to download the separate exe from the link above for windows 10 20H2, I decided to download but got a warning from my antivirus bit defender that it was a Trojan. I downloaded after careful review of comments and the mod started to work. However, my Bit defender antivirus automatically removed the exe and stated that it was a gen variant Bulz either a virus or trojan and deleted the exe distant worlds exe which automatically crashed the game of course. I then started to scan the exe that was provided in the link above that states for windows ten 2004 use this and it kept being detected as a virus or jrojan.

My question is should I be worried, Is this EXE that allows the Bacon Mod to run 1.81R a virus/Trojan? Should I delete the mod and completely remove every file? is the link above compromised?

Hello erverybody,

apologies in advance for my bad english, i´m not a native speaker. Thank you for this outstanding mod!

Yesterday I experienced a strange situation when I started a new game (DWU, Bacon Mod, UE II), build a starport etc.
In Vanilla there is a bonus income while the civilian sector builds freighters, miners and so on. Unlike Vanilla there was a bonus income visible but it didn´t get into my cash stack.
I wonder if this is because of the Bacon Mod? WAD? Maybe a problem with merging the two mods?
Do you have any suggestions what could be the problem? Could it be UE II?
Thank you very much!

It's a change from a recent update.
In the BaconSettings txt file you need to find this line: privateBuildCostToStateMoney=0.0
I have it set to 0.5 so that gives half of the money private sector spends on building ships back to them. The default setting gives them 100% iirc (0.0).
If you want it to be vanilla - set it to 1.0

Hello RogerBacon and Everyone,

I have another question and I hope you can help me. So i restarted my game with 1000 stars and about 20 players hoping to reduce the lag that we discussed previously. I have also noticed something new or something that I did not notice before because I guess I did not play for long. The game tends to crash sometime after is save the game. Is this a known issue? Also, So far just once or maybe twice my game has also crash or straight to windows and I get an error with something like ran out of memory. Is this also a known Issue? I have rysen 7 3800X, 5700XT and 32gig and all are also SSD drives sp my computer is not an issue. Any comments would be appreciated.

Rogerbacon, thanks for your quick reply. I understand but I downloaded the Large Address Aware (LAA) and I have been using it when it occurred. So should I stop?

Also here is another crash error below. Please let me know your opinion.

An Error has occurred. Distant worlds will now exit.

Details of the error are below:

Error Code: ProGx

System.ArgumentException: Parameter in not valid. at System.Drawing.Bitmap..ctor(int32 width, int32height, pixelformat format)
at DistantWorlds.Main.PrepareEngineExhaust (BuiltObject ship, Bitmap Shipimage)
at DistantWorlds.Controls.MainView.Method_76()
at DistantWorlds.Controls.MainView.DrawMainViewXna ()
at DistantWorlds.Controls.Main.ProgramLoop ()


Can anyone explain this for me? Should I reduce the game to 500 stars? 5 races?

Would replacing the ship designs of one race just the ship designs cause this issue?

Version 1.82 released.
This version should work with both Win 10 2004 patched and non-patched systems.

Range circles is now an option in BaconSettings. The in-game toggle still can be used to turn them on or off as before.

Max planet population which pirates can exert influence over is now adjustable in BaconSettings. In vanilla DWU a planet with a high population is immune from pirate influence. This made pirates useless in an old galaxy start.

Pirate Base options You can now set how many troops defend each level of pirate base. Also, you can add troops using money. See Readme for details.

Custom Difficulty Settings Now different aspects of the game's difficulty can have different factors applied to it.

From the BaconSettings.txt:
// These settings allow for custom difficulty for the player empire. The default values for the difficulty settings are 0.7, 1.0, 1.25, 1.6, 2.0 for all parameters (colony corruption, mining, etc.). Difficuly factors only affect the player empire.
// Now you can set a seperate factor for each parameter of difficulty.
// ColonyCorruptionFactor, WarWearinessFactor multiply by the factor
// ResearchRate, PopulationGrowthRate, MiningRate, ColonyIncomeFactor, and ColonyShipBuildSpeedRate divide by the factor.
// CountermeasuresFactor and TargettingFactor, are divided by the square root of the factor.
// Valid range is 0.01 - 10.0
// To use these vaules in game you must use the command !setdifficulty after the game starts.
// Note: Do not check "difficulty scales up" during game creatuion or it will override these values.
customDifficultyColonyCorruptionFactor=1
customDifficultyWarWearinessFactor=1
customDifficultyResearchRate=1
customDifficultyPopulationGrowthRate=1
customDifficultyMiningRate=1
customDifficultyTargettingFactor=1
customDifficultyCountermeasuresFactor=1
customDifficultyColonyShipBuildSpeedRate=1
customDifficultyColonyIncomeFactor=1


Note that BitDefender (and possibly others) still falg the exe as a virus. This made compiling and building quite bothersome. When you copy the ese your AV will probably delete it. For BitDefender just click "restore" and you will be fine. You will have to do this for each folder location where you copy the exe. I will sent the file to Bid Defender today and ask them to fix their false positive. I guess I shouldn't be too upset. I'd rather suffere through a hundred false positives than one false negative.

The last exe I released I neglected to run through Large Address Aware (LAA) and some people have reported memory crash issues. That's probably the issue.

Thanks for the rangecircles option!
And unexpected bonus with custom difficulty parameters!
One little clarification:
"To use these vaules in game you must use the command !setdifficulty after the game starts."
Does this mean only once after creating a brand new game (and they are then kept in the savegame I suppose), or every time a savegame is loaded ?

Finally, would it be possible to have a command for repeating mining missions? Similar to the repeating cargo and passenger missions.

Thanks

EDIT: Ran the 1.82 as admin and it all works fine so far, except for that it runs in about 70% of my screen space after the game starts.

Does it do that in non-modded version too? What resolution is your monitor?
In you settings.ini file you can set width and height.
