<h2>The animation is too slow...</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Unfortunately the Tcl/Tk toolkit lacks a sprite concept, so
|
|
there is a lot of (invisible double-buffered) redraw going on
|
|
when dragging cards around.
|
|
<p>
|
|
Disabling <i>Card shadow</i>, <i>Shade legal moves</i>,
|
|
background table tiles and sound will somewhat improve the display speed.
|
|
|
|
<h2>The table tiles look strange</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Background table tiles should only be enabled when using
|
|
a true-color video mode - otherwise they may look bad
|
|
because of dithering.
|
|
<p>
|
|
BTW, you can add your own background tiles by copying the images
|
|
to the main <i>data/tiles</i> or your home <i>~/.PySolFC/tiles</i> directory.
|
|
<!-- They must be in GIF or PPM format. -->

<h2>My antivirus app says the Windows installer contains a virus.</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
We have been asked about the fact that some anti viruses, including those
|
|
on <a href="https://www.virustotal.com/">VirusTotal</a>, have identified the Microsoft
|
|
Windows downloads as containing malware. What we know is that they are generated from
|
|
the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_and_open-source_software">open source</a>
|
|
source code by <a href="https://www.appveyor.com/">AppVeyor</a>, are checked using
|
|
VirusTotal before they are uploaded, and at that point were considered to be malware clean.
|
|
<p>
|
|
However, as time passes, they seem to accumulate classifyings as containing malware
|
|
in what appears to be <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_positives_and_false_negatives">false positives</a>. So we believe the downloads are nonetheless safe and free of
|
|
malware.
|
|
<p>
|
|
Furthermore, note that we believe that many anti-malware applications are harmful
|
|
by themselves, and that they are all an incomplete (non-)solution to an
|
|
issue that does not exist in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux#Desktop">Linux</a> and the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_BSD_operating_systems">BSDs operating systems</a>.

<h2>I received an error that there is no module named "formatter".</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
This error occurs if you're trying to run an older version of PySolFC
|
|
with Python 3.10. If you are using Python 3.10 or later, please upgrade your
|
|
version of PySolFC to 2.14.0 or later - older versions are not compatible with
|
|
Python 3.10.
|
|
<p>
|
|
If you are getting your copy from your Linux distribution's package manager,
|
|
please contact the people who maintain the packages for your distribution.
|
|
You can always get the latest version from the PySolFC website or from
|
|
Flathub.

<h2>It won't let me deal more cards in Spider.</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
When playing Spider, you are not allowed to deal more cards if there are any
|
|
empty piles. If there aren't enough cards left to put one in each pile, the
|
|
game is lost. Part of the game is planning ahead when to deal more cards to
|
|
avoid this situation.
|
|
<p>
|
|
If you want a variation without this rule, you can play Relaxed Spider instead.
