Game Client Enhancements
At the beginning of this year, we have pledged to improve the Game Client as a part of our 2020 vision for A3 Mania. So far we have been making constant updates to the core game, but the Game Client didn't receive the attention it deserved. We have worked really hard for the past few months and finally made pretty good improvements to the Game Client.
Improved Integration with Nvidia / AMD GPUs
The A3 Mania client now includes native integration with Nvidia and AMD APIs. This will help you directly record videos in the game with no lag. You could also capture last few minutes of gameplay with Nvidia's Game overlay and crop them directly from the game itself. You can also broadcast your game stream live on Twitch, Facebook or Youtube.
Native Full HD/1440P and 4K Support with Widescreen
A3 Mania Game client now supports running natively at Full HD (1080P), 1440P and 4K. Few more resolutions are supported for widescreen displays and laptops. This is perhaps the biggest change since the game was running at a much smaller resolution prior and there would be considerable delay for the monitor to switch to the correct resolution. Now, since the game runs in native monitor resolution, the launch and minimizing and maximizing the game is much faster.
You now get the resolution configuration options in the Game Launcher.
New DirectX support
The game client now supports upgraded DirectX APIs. Inorder to run the game, you will need to install DirectX Runtime from Microsoft. Although, most of the windows installations come with the runtime installed, if you receive an error message while starting the client, please download and install the runtime from
this link.
The new DirectX APIs provide performance and visual improvements.
Crisp and Clear Fonts
The font rendering in the game has been heavily reworked to make the text much more clear and crisp for high resolution displays. You can notice the change in the font rendering especially when you are running the game at higher resolutions.
Dualing Support
Game client now supports Dualing (Starting Multiple instances) of the client. Although this is not officially supported, we did add the extra functionality to help players without installing any third party paid software like Sandboxie. You will have to acknowledge the warning message before starting more than 1 instance of the game client. Note that we only support running one client per PC and running multiple instances of the game can affect performance. Please observe caution.
