I view the patch more favorably, but I play more skirmish than MP. However I am not enjoying the new bugs. Game crashes at end of skirmish every time ( Supposed to be fixed soon in 2.21 patch) and I cant save a skirmish game after I have very large armies, like > 10K units. The save game is the bigger issue. When you run a large or vast map with 6-9 AIs, the game can be long.. SO I tend to play the game over a few days. Well cant now so on Hold till it gets fixed. I love having

hmm you know I have never used allied chat.. DOnt play a lot of MP.

I upgraded from a 6320 to an 8320 and got 8 PFS. I only have a GTX950 so my video card is holding me back.

Anything on the save game issue? you cant save games after your army gets too big. I can save at the begining of game, and for a while it saves correctly, then when I have >7K units ( not exactly sure where the limit is) I cant save the game. It will overwrite and existing game with nothing.. ie if you try to save by writing over an existing file after you hit the critical mass of units, it just erases the old save and does not create a new one.

The game wont save correctly. When I start a skirmish, I get the 3 autosaves, (I think) and maybe one manual save. Then it seems to just not save. I also tried writting over a saved game, and when I went back in there was no save game. I had deleted all saves except for one, tried over writing it and when I went back to load, there wasnt any save game. So when I saved overtop an existing file, it lost the save file, but never wrote the new save file? It may be related to size of save? T

Sounds like Power Supply.. Do you happen to have a larger PS? Another thing could be over clock regardless of temp. Ive seen alot of reports, blurbs from Devs, Ashes does not like overclocking. As a tech, Id try the reinstalls, drivers etc, then hardware. First PSU, then memory, cpu, MB, HDs, CD drives. Is ashes the only thing that ever crashes? I crash at the end of a game vs AI everytime. I kill last AI and I crash to desktop. It is consi

After 2.2 patch the game crashes when I kill the last AI playing Skirmish. I ran a 10 player map, with 9 AIs and me. After I took out the last Nexus, the game crashed. It does this every skirmish I have played since 2.2 I usually have huge armies by then, but something happens every time I Skirmish.

So how many mods are out there?

SO after the 2.2 my ashes intro screen is Stardock instead of Steam. Just didnt expect that, and it doesnt see my Sins game at the intial screen.. I prob explain very well.. When I clikc on the icon for Ashes a Stardock window pops up. It has Ashes, Sins, Off World, and Gal Civ. I own Sins and its installed, but this screen doesnt see it.. DOesnt really matter unless it should see my Sins, or it shouldnt be a stardock window since I purchased via steam.

I have armies with multiple dreads all the time, and it tends to be problematic. Some of the army units wont move, sometimes they do take a while to figure out where to go but thats not that big a problem. Its more that they wont all merge when you hit form aymy, and some go off to lala land..

Hey Ive been using steam forever, and never knew how to sign up for the betas. Never found it explained, and only reference I found for opt-ins was steam client betas.. IDK, I just couldnt find the answer, and just got frustrated.. But I like the changes in the patch..

Oh, did have a late game crash vs 5 AIs. I had approx 15K units.. Ive had this crash before 2.2 so dont think it is from the patch. Happens once in a while it seems.. Not every game. It could have a relation to number of units? Ill have to see if it happens again. 8320, 16gig ram, gtx950 2G. I did lower graphics a bit, but defaults I get like 29 fps, so tweak a little to get it over 31 avg.

Anyway, sorry for my annoyance. Now on 2.2; it feels more intuitive. The unit balance feels better. Seemed before some units were just too tough or too soft.. Strat bombers do die a little faster but still effective.. PHC base fighter is still gimp, but that is intentional? would be nice to have an advanced fighter to counter the bombers..

I did research, for a week. I searched steam and the only beta it offered me was steam client beta. So I was mad at steam more than ashes.. Was stupid all around..

I finally got it, was odd I couldnt find the info searching steam.. So actually I was mad at steam more than Ashes.. But my MP comments still are valid. Two or more versions about cause mayhem in MP. How many times do you see anything more than 1v1? How about a compromise? For MP you must have the opt-ins? The mp community is small, but this would at least have all mp players updated to latest version.

Appreciate this a lot. Couldn't believe it was so hard to get the info on how to opt in..

All I want is a link, I found one but its a GoG link? and wont work for me.

And I did buy early access, bought all the3 DLC, so I am entitled tio be annoyed.

No it isnt since half the people in MP are running it..

so far youve screwed up MP with opt ins, hell I cant even chat in the lobby.. WTF?? I am patient, but that is about used up.. I never even try MP anymore.. 2 versions of the game and I have the one no one else seems to have? WTF.. Cant find 2.2 WTF?? JHC you wont be satisfied till you destroy any community we had.

how about a freakin link to the 2.2 cant find it anywhere. everyone else seems to know.. screws MP up royally.. Never find a game more than 1.1 thats sad..

First crashed while updating, restarted all was well. Game froze midgame I had approx 7,000 army units playing vs challenging AIs, 4 ais and me. approx 15,-20 thousand units on map. Glitch or design flaw. The army stops moving, attacking if the main unit is killed. Happens all the time. Army function still cant deal with more than one dread per army.

I upgraded from a FX 63xx, to an 8320 and gained 8 FPS. Not alot, but I multitask a lot so I wanted extra cores. For a big gain in FPS, get a new Video card. Cant see why youd upgrade the CPU for vast maps, Seems like that would be Video card memory and maybe system memory.. Now if there are events, or functions built into the map? What constitutes an 6 core map? Not getting why youd need more cores for a vast map.. Think Memory right?

Use Firefox.. None are perfect, most become annoying at some point. If your really adventurous, try opera, Avast safe browser.. others even.. I quit using google because of things like you describe here.. MS Edge Im just not sure about..

Play MP games today where units wouldnt respond, army function went buggy and then everything finally crashed with 6 people. At least 3 people crashed out..
