Any special requirements in windows ?

Hello,

I cannot get this to work in windows 10 with Hexcells Infinite.
The software lauches and acquires the data, I can go as far as "calculate" step, but that's it.
==> Any further button only shows a popup with errors.

Could there be a missing piece of software ? Do I need to put the .dll somewhere @Mikescher ?

You should only need a .Net runtime.

What error messages are shown?

Recapture

show binary pattern

after I adjust

Hint group (so far so good ?)

Solve and execute :

Initially @Mikescher I just wanted to use your software to help me to show one potential next move when I am stuck. Like a "hint" button ;)

o.O didn't know HexCells added a dark theme.

You have to use the light theme - all the OCR and cell recognition etc is configured with the light theme, otherwise not much will be working

Hello @Mikescher

I switched to light mode and managed to make it work once, but now it even refuses to "Calculate"

More likely I am doing something wrong ?

[Mikescher]

Hmm, I released a new version a few days ago where you can export the currently captured screenshot.
Can you use that version and attach that image - that way I could perhaps debug the problem.
Also if Calculate failes it can be useful to look at the output of the buttons above (Show Binary and Show Grid), to see if somehing is off

Be aware that this is a really old project of mine - it's quite fickle in a lot of places :D

Hello @Mikescher,

I will try the new release and let you know.
The only strange thing I experienced so far (with previous releases as well) is that sometimes OCR works, then on the next move it fails. How can I debug this ? Is there something I can do to support a failed OCR ?
