The treatment of the so called “virtual opponent” is the default treatment in Vega and cannot be
disabled, i.e. the unplayed games are always considered played against the virtual opponent.
What you can do is enable (default)/disable the adjusted score used for the unplayed games. For the
FIDE the unplayed game is a draw. You can disable such option and consider for the Buchholz the
real score at the end of the tournament. See this for more details

35. I made a program able to calculate a new superduper tiebreak. Can I use it in conjunction
with the User TieBreak in Vega?
Yes, you can. Vega saves and reads the user tie break value in the file usertb.txt. Look at the format
of this file and just overwrite it with your program.
36. From version 7.4.0 I cannot longer set the result ½F-½F (forfeit draw) in a pair. What can
I do to set anyway this result to both players?
That result made invalid the rating report to FIDE. The recommended way to proceed is using the
manual pairing (or Modify Pairing option) and pair the players with the BYE. Then you can set the
½F-½F result via the non standard result button.
37. My Linux distribution has a newest version of the shared library currently used by Vega.
What can I do to use Vega?
Let’s suppose the issue regards the libpng library for the 64bit version. You must install the old
libpng used by Vega some where. The folder /plugin contains the script vegalib that solve the
problem. Please have a look at it.
37. Which Linux version do you use to develop Vega.
Lubuntu. If you need to install Linux only to be able to run Vega I recommend you to install the
latest version of Lubuntu.
