It seems the latest stable 1.6x version of the game has fixed most of the things this mod fixes... Except the fonts.
Is this mod going to get updated to the latest official version? 1.61.10172 has been stable for almost 3 years now.

Can you help me with a solution please?

I also used Reimagined Patch 3.0 , smart_mages , ranged_efficiency and extend UI.

Version 1.54 Steam

Yes, thanks to the own exe solutions of this mod, all other adjustments to the game on the user side should not be effected and should be able to be mixed in."

I followed this when I installed the mods :D

i would not call it stable with many of the issues in campaign events and absolute unstable network/multiplayer functionality.
Also this version you speak of is only on Steam, and needs to connect online and login to steam to play the game.
With the biggest issue that steam from now on can no longer be installed on System with Windows version older then Win10. So Win7 and even legacy XP systems can never have access to any steam game ever again. GoG and good old retail 1.54 and 1.52a are the only option again.

Any GoG player or retail disc user of the game, has no access to the version with no sight of it ever changing.

Next to mods that only exist for 1.54, the working and stable network/multiplayer part of the retail version of SpellForce, make it still the version to go. No wonder the mayority of the playerbase still prefers that version of the game that we maintain running.

Also since 1.6X is still technicly in "beta" since many years, it makes 0 sense to mod for something that can still core change with every update.

Btw. Since you ask for updates to the mod (we are are at 1.8 already) what are you missing for an update to request?

The bugfixes and features provided by 1.61 and not the mod. But I understand not wanting to support it if it only works on steam.

Well we can not just rip files of the game and place it somewhere else. Such main version updates need to be done by the seller/publisher.
Since the publisher only has provided updates to the steam version so far, adjusting these for other game plattforms, from our community side, would sadly count as cracking the game files and is illigal.

Yes we have tested it and can asure you this mod does support Windows 11 and the game version 1.54 and 1.61 with it.

Here an example of it running with classical 4:3 aspect configuration:
Win_11_SF1_PLAT_HR_MOD_1_8_classic_centered.PNG

You only need to asure the mod can run with the required permissions.

I'm so sorry! I'm so confused right now!
You just said the mod works on 1.61? I though it was only for 1.54?
