I was not sure if I should write this. To be honest I am still not sure about it but I always used to be open about CF developement and its progress.

Therefore... here we go.

In the past weeks there have not been many updates (actually just one). After releasing updates almost weekly for over one year, dealing with bugfixes, content refreshes, rebalancing and preparing the next big content update I ended up pretty burned out. Keep in mind that I develop CF in the little time I have next to my RL job and family. The lack of community feedback also did not really help to keep my motivation up and running so I decided to take a break and maybe get a bit motivation from other sources.

Starfield was around the corner and probably would have helped with that a bit (at least that was the theory).

Truth however is that a lot of stuff derailed in the past weeks.

I got in the situation where changes at my job required lots of my attention and most certainly still will for weeks to come. On top of that are a million of private problems. Grandma at the age of 94 had an accident and as you can imagine at such an age the term "light issues" never applies. Big amount of my free time is consumed by organizing stuff and visits at the hospital. But since that is not enough yet the health condition of both of my parents isn't the greatest aswell and my dad also soon is to be hospitalized (hopefully without him eventually losing the ability to walk). At the moment I am trying to help out where I can and support the family.

My own health situation has not been the greatest in the past weeks but that most likely is just result of the non-stop stress situation.

As you can imagine it is difficult to focus on modding work in this situation in the evening hours or late at night. I tried to relax a bit by playing a bit Starfield but well... after almost 2 months I am still pretty much at the beginning of the game. I can't really focus stuff longer than half an hour or an hour at max these days.

Like I said. I am not sure if sharing this stuff is a good idea but I always used to communicate about CF development progress no matter if it were good or bad news. Right now it's just that. Now you know why there has been a lack of updates and why it probably will take some time for this situation to change again.

I am not sure it is appropriate to say "better times will come" but maybe at least less demanding times allow me to return to some modding work in a few weeks.

Have not heard about such issues before but it somewhat sounds like borderless window mode being overlapped by another software.

Ive had this issue in other games before but usually alt-tabbing a few times fixes it.

When creating the launcher and installer, both were tested successfully (without the slightest issue) under Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10 and Windows 11.

Only reason why installations might not work in my eyes are related to missing permissions on Windows or restrictive UAC settings which prevent the Installer to do important changes.

Ignoring to install the runtimes which come with the mod and which the installer suggests to install also might cause issues but I am not 100% sure about that.
