Hero Lab Classic 64-bit Windows Open Beta

[Krothos]

How does one confirm they are using the 64-bit version? There's no information in the Help About that I can see. Think I downloaded and installed this version when it was available, but the updates since then....

When I installed the 64-bit version it placed a shortcut on my desktop that said Herolab 64-bit (beta). Did you get the shortcut on your desktop?

 

[charlieluce]

On my PC the Window title (Upper left) reads Hero Lab® BETA and the Help About says V8.9 BETA and the beta build # before my license number.



EDIT: By the way, does anyone else have the thing where if you move the Tactical Console window left or right then it gets narrower? It's really weird.

 

[Dwayne]

I just tried the tactical console and it does exactly like you say. If you try to move it left or right it gets narrower.

 

[charlieluce]

Yeah, it does it on both my desktop and laptop so I figured it was a real thing. I reported it as a bug.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Hero Lab\HeroLab64.exe

You can run that executable directly. Or you can make a shortcut for it if you didn't already opt for that during install.

HeroLab64.exe can be found in the same folder as HeroLab.exe (just in case you have it located in a non-standard location).

Is there a list of known issues for the 64-bit version of Hero Lab Classic?

Is there a planned released date for the RC version?

Thanks to everyone for these comments. I am working on an update that I hope will address all the issues that have been brought up here, and I should have it ready in a couple of days.

Anything to report? A few days has turned into 9.

I can confirm that Beta Build 883 doesn't fix the Tactical Console window.

Other than that it seems pretty good, though.

 

[Dwayne]

Where did you get the 883 build? I have not seen anything about an update.

 

[charlieluce]

I miiiiight be keeping an eye on the download server.

 

[Dwayne]

Maybe it will be released on Monday.

 

[Dwayne]

Two weeks and nothing. LW does a lot of this lately.

One of our devs was unexpectedly hospitalized for an extended period of time. He’s just now getting back to work so we had a several week setback. We’re doing everything we can to catch back up on things. Thanks for the patience!

 

[Duggan]

Oof... best of luck in his recovery!

I am sorry to hear this. Please tell him I hope he is feeling better.

I've posted a new 64-bit beta version that I believe should address the outstanding issues mentioned here. Please check it out!

Looks like the Tactical Console Window issue has indeed been dealt with! Good Show!
