interesting, I hope they figure it out and fix it what the matter is, some app do create folders and they are needed, others are created and not needed, so I am unsure which it is.

good luck a suggestion you could try is make sure Wesnoth app or program is allow through your fire wall, also if you use a ip blocker make sure ips are allow also.
I keep getting this pop-up every time I try to join the official servers. I can't host or join other people's games, everything I've tried thus far - remove all add-ons and data, downloading the game directly, and allowing it through the fire wall - all didn't work

In the second file, it has this: So it looks like there's potentially something wrong with your connection or DNS where it for some reason becomes unable to find Wesnoth's servers.

tried to use [remove_object] in place of [remove_unit_overlay] as adviced here: https://github.com/wesnoth/wesnoth/comm ... 5ad2a46271

I am running into issues with wayland and wesnoth crashing while running under xwayland (I assume that's how it's running anyway) since updating Fedora KDE to the latest version where wayland is enforced. This issue was not present before when I was running under X11, and occurs when...

I was not even aware it is possible to play wesnoth on xwayland already. Guess I have to try
this eventually. Are there many wesnoth developers testing on wayland?
Apologies for my cluelessness but in a multiplayer game map I keep being out of sync when recruiting units, or when my allies recruit units. The era is ageless with many other mods installed, but I am sure I am up to date, and in no way did I try to modify the mod files myself.
I took a picture of...

What mods do you have installed and what mods were enabled in this game? Also a replay of the game might be handy
Further info: When computer goes to sleep while Wesnoth active, cooling fan comes on, which indicates to me that sometime recursive might be going on, but what do I know?

Ok, so generate_river_internal recurses a bit too much so you can run out of stack space. Looks like it recurses for every river hex. We should rewrite that to tail call recursion or really no recursion.
Hi everyone, I recently tried multiplayer against the AI (in a campaign scenario) and noticed the AI keeps spamming units heavily in the early turns — which often overwhelms my formation and leaves me falling behind. I’ve tried playing on Easy but it still happens.

Is there any...

I agree with beetlenaut that it's better to try to beat the scenario rather than simply make it easier.

There are many, many factors involved and it can be a tad confusing putting them togther to begn...

The problem still exists today. Apparently the screensaver-disabling logic is only turned off on macos:
wesnoth-1.18.5/src/macosx/SDLMain.mm: setenv ("SDL_VIDEO_ALLOW_SCREENSAVER", "1", 1);
Launching wesnoth with this variable manually set fixes the issue of wesnoth messing up xidle.

Yep, *clean* install worked fine.
I don't normally install on top of older versions but was updating both stable and dev and must've forgotten to cleardown the dev folder.
Anyway, all sorted now and my fault, v1.19.14 is fine.
Thanks again.
Cheers!

I’m running Debian 12.11 KDE and just installed wesnoth 1:1.16.9-1 all installed ok however when I tried to exit the game it will not I can only get out by doing a hard reset.
Last post
What does hard reset mean? You need to reboot your device? If so then it's unlikely wesnoth can do anything about that. Sounds like an OS or hardware issue.
I suggest rather installing and playing wesnoth.1.18 instead, btw.

Sounds like #2682, that purple flags get the time-of-day recoloring and end up looking too blue during nighttime or underground.
The dwarven flags are already a different shape than the troll ones, but that isn't obvious with purple and black flags...
