No. I can't create new games after leaving an old one, and am having random, unreproducible freezes.

[quote who="TCores" reply="11" id="2616312"] Are these things Stardocks' fault? Not necessarily. They published the title, they did not distribute it . I am not criticizing anyone, just giving my views on what seemed to harm the game's playerbase.[/quote] Sorry, but I had to LOL here. I think you meant to say Stardock did not develop it.

[quote who="Xan" reply="80" id="2616113"] Well then you have not been paying any attention to the criteria that STARDOCK (you know, the guys making the game?) wants as a determination of whether to move forward. They are not going to "complete" the game any more in beta 1 either way, it is ALL about stability. And they have already made it clear that their internal; builds that we don;t see, the game is MUCH further developed than what we are seeing. So if you are wanting to see a more c

Started up Elemental after a hard freeze(game didn't produce any reports after I closed it manually) and started a new game. I had played 1 turn and don't think I even founded my first city when I left the game and went to the main menu. I clicked new game and immediately crashed. dropbox

How is requiring a user to install third party software in order to get a patch "right out of the box" - sometimes just to play on their machine - any different? [/quote] The difference is that if I want to play my game when I buy it from Walmart - if it has Impulse then I can install it like a regular game and play it right there. If it has Steam I can't. Plain and simple. That'

[quote who="RedneckRapture" reply="1266" id="2614012"]Well then, I guess this mod, like most of the other Star Trek mods and games, will fall short of whatever expectations and/or hopes people who have watched Star Trek their entire lives hope for it. Gentlemen, I am ashamed to call this a Star Trek mod, when in all actuality it is only the future of the JJ Abrams Star Trek movie, that is to say, an action flick in the clothing of one of the greatest scifi genres in history.

Reply to Ubisoft - The next step? in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

the_monk So you're ok with Ubisoft telling you when you can/can't play your game? That's basically what they're doing because if they have server downtime, you can't play. You lose your internet connection for whatever reason, you cant play. I don't mind companies protecting their hard work, but all new DRM schemes are doing is inconveniencing paying customers while stopping pirates for a week, if that.

Reply to Starcraft II Balance in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

Most people on TL, just like on any forum(though Stardock forums do tend to have a smaller idiot:poster ratio), is full of idiots who think they know what they're talking about. However, that said there are tons of top players on TL who do know what they're talking about. I also don't think strategy games should be based solely on micro. However, I do think micro should be an important part of the game that separates players. This comes from a top(lol) silver league player who suck

Here is a link to a explanation of the patch changes from Blizzard. I personally didn't think it was that big of a buff. What I personally find crazy is Blizzard's definition of a moving shot. There has been a relatively large clamor by top players for Blizzard to implement better 'moving shot' mechanics where you can fire then move away very quickly, and if timed right, fire and move off before coming

I agree that the world doesn't feel alive yet. However, at this point in development I don't think its expected to. Once all the core game mechanics are in the Devs should be able to focus on the 'small' things. Right now it's a good time to provide ideas on what makes the world feel alive and interesting.

Ryat's right. I thought I saw max_tech_levels, but obviously I was wrong.

Reply to question(s) regarding modding (AI tech/reference stuff and weapon range) in Sins Modding Sins Forums

Ryat is correct that the AI will handle different tech level fine, however, the hardcoded maximum tech level is 3 so increasing it beyond that will cause problems. Also, there are different damage application settings for each weapon. I believe they are 'overtime', 'instant', and 'backloaded'.
