new version of Foldit standalone

LociOiling 2 years ago updated 2 years ago 1

Just for information, there's a new version of Foldit standalone.

The game version of Foldit had major changes that were released in September 2022.

Among other things, the Windows version of Foldit is now 64-bit. There were also changes in several other areas.

While a step forward in many ways, the new version caused a certain amount of heartburn for longtime Foldit players. It's likely that any standalone users may also encounter some unexpected behavior.

I see this userecho support site has had very little traffic over the years. Worse, there have been no replies to any reported problems.

The game version of Foldit has a somewhat active user community. See https://fold.it, where you'll find the support forums under Community. One support possibility is to post a bug report in the Bugs forum. Please include "standalone" in the subject if you go that route.

Another option is to join the Foldit Discord server. See the link on the front page of the Foldit website for that. On Discord, the #bugs-and-feedback channel is another way to possibly find help. Discord is a little more user-friendly when it comes to dragging and dropping file attachments.

There's no guarantee of a response to any reported issues, but you'll probably improve your odds if you go to the game side of Foldit. 

For reference, the version information for Foldit is found under General Options (ctrl + T), on the Advanced tab. The current version of Foldit standalone is 20230109-b54c9a359c-win_x64-INTERNAL.
