| For you and anyone else:
1) Open the .sln file in the /source/msvc/Star Ruler 2/ subfolder like the github page says 2) If you're using VS2022 and you're prompted to upgrade all of the projects in the solution, choose yes. 2a) If you didn't choose yes, once the file is open then open the Solution Explorer toolbox. By default, it should already be pinned open on the right. 2b) If the projects all have (Visual Studio 2017) next to their names, right-click each one and select Properties 2c) Look for the "Platform Toolset" option and select "Visual Studio 2022 (v143)" and click OK 2d) Do that for every project. 3) There's a little dropdown below the menu bar below the "Build" and "Debug" menu options that, by default, is set to Debug. Change that to Non-Steam Release. 4) Click Build from the menu bar and select "Build Solution." 5) Navigate to the root project folder, then to the binwin64 subfolder. Star Ruler2.exe should be in there. You should be able to copy the entire contents of that directory anywhere you want and run the game. in the future, if you right-click the Star Ruler 2 project and select Properties, the "Output Directory" is where the compiled project goes. |

Thanks by 12/21/2023, 7:19am PST I admire your lengths to not use DRM programs like Steam by 12/22/2023, 7:48am PST It's not on sale on Steam, either. I just want a demo before paying full price. NT by 12/22/2023, 9:44am PST I bought it. Full Price. Excellent game, dunno why I missed it before. Bad name? NT by 12/24/2023, 8:38am PST |
