I got my Adom version 3.3.1 Deluxe through Gog.
I have actually installed it on a stand alone PC which is not usually connected to the internet and doesn't have wireless.
I have noticed a fairly slow start up time.
Investigation of the adom.log file shows
But as far as I can tell only the adom.exe is running.Code:<2019-01-10 10:05:13> INFO : Ancient Domains of Mystery (version 3.3.1, release 99) <2019-01-10 10:05:13> INFO : ------------------------------------------------------- <2019-01-10 10:05:13> INFO : GOG instance created <2019-01-10 10:05:13> INFO : Initializing GOG <2019-01-10 10:05:13> INFO : AuthListener instance created <2019-01-10 10:05:13> INFO : Starting GOG background process <2019-01-10 10:05:13> INFO : Creating GOG background process <2019-01-10 10:05:13> INFO : User sign in <2019-01-10 10:05:13> INFO : IsFullyInitialized 1 <2019-01-10 10:05:13> INFO : GOG process started <2019-01-10 10:05:28> INFO : Authentication failed, probably Galaxy is not running
in fact this message list occurs if I just double click on the adom.exe file.
Does anyone know if there is a way of suppressing this pointless 15 second attempt to connect to Gog's mothership.
Pointless because, as I mentioned earlier, the PC is not internet connected.
I wondered if this attempt to connect was embedded code in the adom.exe file or perhaps fired by one of the .dll library files ?
Does anyone know ?
