After update to 1.5.0.7 splash screen can't be deactivated

After the update to FFP 1.5.0.7 (copied over the previous version) the "DisableSplashScreen=true" no more seems to work. The FFP.ini is in the proper location, in the root directory, next to FFP.exe.

(Apart from that: just noticed, while checking the forum's "preview" pane, that this post here was submitted by me "on December 31, 1969".)

New INI

As mentioned in the release announcement, the INI format has changed. Your old INI will not work with 1.5.0.7 and later.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

Thanks!

Thanks, it works now. I thought the old .ini would be overwritten, so I I tried copying FF a second time over the previous version. But installing the new version separately and then exchanging the .ini file manually did the trick.

Not overwritten

It's not overwritten because it's not normally used. And the INIs are normally forward-compatible with newer releases. But sometimes new features are introduced which require changes... in this case, it's the new settings directory which FFP uses for the Intelligent Start feature. I mention it in the release announcement whenever this occurs.

Ahh! Just found, the .ini

Ahh! Just found, the .ini file is even separately downloadable here. I should be reading more carefully the things you have to say! Wink
