We can't do anything about Steam's backend. :(

As we indicated there will be pain and suffering (though didn't expect Steam to contribute!). :P More options will be added as we move along in development. We weren't kidding when we called it an Alpha. :D

[quote who="ChungasRevenge" reply="5" id="3565726"] It downloaded quick for me but the game doesn't work and now the thread i posted is set to "access denied" which is a bit odd https://forums.ashesofthesingularity.com/467508/get;3565711 [/quote] More telling is that you don't have an Ashes Founders' badge showing up. Did you purchase the game on a different account from what you're using on the forums? Seems

Yeah, in this forum only it's okay.

You can put minor issues in the forums. Thanks!

Please download our support tool (more info at https://forums.ashesofthesingularity.com/467342/page/1/ ) and submit a ticket with us.

Moved to the Founders group.

Currently units that are destroyed inflict no damage from debris. Don't expect this to change.

The Ashes of the Singularity Founders forum is no longer publically accessible.

This forum is now closed to all non-Founders. Post away!

Around 1pm ET today.

Gonna have an early alpha to throw at ya tomorrow. ;)

[quote who="SchismNavigator" reply="17" id="3563365"] Is "1920x1080" minimum resolution really the minimum? My current monitor supports a maximum of 1440 x 900. [/quote] Yes, 1920x1080 is the min spec. for resolution.

Ashes won't be supporting Vulkan for release.

What he typed.

It'll be available until we go into Steam Early Access later this summer.

What video card do you have?

Brad and I are designing the game primarily. Oxide is doing all the engine work, art, etc. and also providing design feedback. The GalCiv team is still largely on GalCiv, though some are transitioning to an unannounced project. Mohawk is developing Offworld Trading Company on their own.

Currently we've been playtesting with most things unlocked at game start; and limited by resource costs. So far this has been feeling pretty good, but the most deadly stuff will be gated by research. We'll see if this holds up as time goes on, but it's working so far. ;)

We're not really aiming to be an e-sport out of the gate. If the game does well and lots of folks pull it in that direction, we'll look to support that more.

Hehe, yeah, the crew is looking into reducing the size of the badges to prevent overload. ;)

Okay, so here's a little something: This week we've been working on gameplay differentiations between the PHC and the Substrate. There are many little things that separate these groups, but we want to go deeper in terms of play style. We're not quite there yet, but we've got some solid ideas that we think will work out. We've also been looking at battle group formations in terms of behavior, unit spacing, etc. so that things work as intended. It

This is not the game for you.

[quote who="Legendsmith" reply="87" id="3540310"] Skip to the bottom for the actual question . Will there be any kind of cover, or will the impact of terrain be restricted to impassable/passable and higher/lower? Will there be an units analogous to infantry in AotS, or will everything fall into the classification of vehicles? [/quote] There's not really cover since there's no infantry - it all falls into

[quote who="Lolw123" reply="86" id="3539936"] Any idea on what amount of VRAM a GPU should at minimum have? [/quote] Not yet, but we're aiming for 1GB VRAM minimum.
