AngelLoader v1.11.0 - now works better on Wine! (updated 2025/07/24)

I have Norton and have never had that issue. I would like to know what caused it specifically. I'm now on windows 11 with a new computer. But my laptop was windows 10 and never had that issue either.

Edit: There for a while when I got a new version it would flag it, but I would tell Norton its okay and I was fine. Now for the last several versions it never flags at all. I assume that once you okay it enough times it just allows it. But I'm not an expert. Please post when you figure out what it is.

Thanks for the steer Fen.

In Norton I found a place (under Security/Advanced/Antivirus/Exclusions) where I could exclude the folder where I keep AL and all my Thief FMs. AL seems to be working normally again now. It's odd how Norton did not report what it was doing (it isn't shy about putting up messages), and how the problem came out of nowhere recently, but it seems to be fixed now.

Hey Fen, I'm moving computers and would love to keep all the info in my current version of angel loader (fm scores, notes etc). Is there anyway to do that?

Thanks!

It's all in the AngelLoader folder itself, inside the \Data directory. Just copy your AngelLoader folder over and it'll all be there.

And speaking of which...

(https://github.com/FenPhoenix/AngelLoader/releases/download/v1.10.2/AngelLoader_v1.10.2_x64.zip) AngelLoader v1.10.2 is out.

General:

* Added support for Sneaky Upgrade 1.1.12.
* Language files are now re-read whenever the Settings window is opened, allowing new ones to be added without restarting the app. This also improves startup time when many languages are installed.

Fixes:

* For The Dark Mod 2.13, Training Mission authors are now detected again.
* Fixed Dark Mod screenshot list auto-refresh was broken when screenshots directory didn't yet exist and then was created by the first screenshot being taken.

I can't seem to get Dromed to load for a Thief Gold mission. I tried l

Usually a second window will pop up allowing me to load a save file. I highlighted with a red arrow where it seems to be hung up on "loading gamesys". I was patient and waited an hour for the load to complete. But it's stuck.

Do you have a solution for this problem, or can offer some advice ?

I did some quick testing. I made a clean Thief Gold folder and put the NewDark 1.28 files, including DromEd, into the folder by hand. When starting DromEd (manually, not through AngelLoader), it opens a window (without a menu bar) and says "Loading gamesys" infinitely like you show. I then created another clean Thief Gold folder and ran RoguePatcher 1.28.2 on it, selecting to install DromEd and DromEd Basic Toolkit, and then DromEd works properly when opening it. It might be that you need the DromEd Basic Toolkit then, but I'm not familiar with it other than that the patchers let you install it. This appears to be the thread on it: (https://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=141708)

Or if you want to just let a patcher handle it, then it's (https://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=134733) TFix if you want NewDark 1.27, or (https://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=152977) RoguePatcher if you want 1.28.

Lots of information there to work with. I'll look into it, but not right away as I have a lot of other things on the plate at the moment. As an aside, I haven't upgraded Angelloader yet and still using ver 1.10.1, if that makes any difference.

Thanks for your help FenPhoenix.

This is on DromEd's side in any case - AngelLoader merely tells it to run.
