Beta 2 For me got really weird compared to Beta 1 please read.

2D?

from AshesoftheSingularity Forums

Hello Dev's

Beta 2 plays really well, and i thank you guys for the Great work so far, and for the first time i was able to play a Multiplayer game without getting kicked out.

So right now i am gonna write some things about Beta 2 and hope the Dev's and even founders can answer me if they have noticed it.

  1. The game feels more 2D than before, the air units feels weird, they move very 2D ( when they fly and do 180 degree sideways its like they are a paper like design) same with general Units. Does anyone see it my same way?
  2. The Zoom for me got downgraded, I cannot zoom up as I used to like before.
  3. Substrate Units! when they shoot the Blue ammo(balls of pain), they look like a complete circle that fly and it, Those balls of pain looks really blurry, the Beta 1 balls of pain look way better.

It may be my PC, some configuration? I don't think so

What do you Founders think about that and what can the Dev's say about those Changes.

Thank you in Advance.

Check your visual settings in options. They were reset for Beta 2.  You may need to turn them up.

I assume you mean for the T1 martyr unit. Perhaps they could be better but atleast you can see them now, they were too small before.

The one I have a problem with is the new weapon effects for the Substrate anti-dreadnought Dreadnought. I am afraid the first time I saw it I was reminded of some tinsel we put on the Christmas tree. It doesn't fit into the game imho. A thick beam with circles around it along the beams length, like coils, would have been a better iteration on the previous art for it perhaps.

Thx for answering guys, I get really busy at work on weekends, I have a Restaurant/Bar to run sorry.

Anyway I did Checked my setting and I have everything at Crazy but shadows at none, I feel shadows kill my FPS right now, waiting for Zen to upgrade.

Tomorrow Sunday I will post a few pics explaining my problem, but it may be the Nvidia latest Drivers with the Beta2 build.

I am not here to bitch, I am writing that to see if there is something wrong with my PC of if everyone is getting the same game quality as me.

Thx again, I will put some screenshots of a skirmish game later.

Edit: a few hours ago I did play a few Multiplayer games and the Zoom worked fine, i even Zoomed all the way to the Stratosphere lol.

So the Zoom if fine so far.

My problem now with all the units that use (balls of pain).

Here You go

look at this Screenshot about the Martyrs, they look Different and at the same time the Balls of Pain look really weird.

 

Does everyone see the same thing us me? is that supposed to be like that?

If not what are my options to fix that? do i need to delete the game and re-download?

 

And if its supposed to be like that For Beta 2 then I apologize and forget about it. for my opinion I don't like them like that, I prefer the Balls of Pain from Beta1

 

Edit: did the units used to be more Flashy in Beta1?  I am using the Video Config at Crazy with Shadows at low.

I dont like it either. Doesn't look damaging enough. I would prefer tiny little glowing orbs with a chunk of glare attached, still the same colour

Looks a little better in the v.91 patch I think. Has a little tail so gives it a bit of directionality rather than just being a blob.
