You could start with a new, near-top-of-the-line GPU if you want to at least run the game until you can get all the cash together for a complete replacement. Then you can just move the new GPU to that new build. AoTS is VERY GPU dependent. So I'd reach for the stars there. And if you want to SLI wait until you get the new build put together and then get that 2nd, matching GPU. Good luck!

Thanks, eviator! Nice vid and a good game. There are a few things I clearly need to change and learn. Some questions if I may: At the beginning, you send the initial engineer to a nearby metal extraction site, then select the Nexus and immediately tell it to build 3 more. Are you, perhaps, pressing the 3 key? I always click on the display of the unit I want built however many times. I have no other idea how you told the Nexus to build 3 engineers so quickly otherw

0.64 - I saw mention of this in another post but I don't see a thread on it. Perhaps it exists or there is a known issues list with things like that on it. If so, I would appreciate being directed to it for future reference. I had a number of factories going with specific build queues and at least 2 of them stopped building units. When I clicked on them there was no longer a build queue or check mark. Now, it's possible I'm not doing something right. But I&#

Help a lousy RTS player out. I've moved up to Normal because Easy and Beginner are too, well, easy. But Normal has me destroyed easily. We all know it's about early build order in these games. What have you found works best? Because I think it matters, I've only been playing on Deneb (2 player only, I think?). That seems a tough map for a normally below-average RTS player to defend once they're behind. I know, this is going to chan

It sounds like we manage Ctrl groups similarly. Before I'm about to use an army I'll click-drag the area to pick everyone up, Ctrl-n them again and then hit V (most of the time). I didn't realize using the B might help to un-army them, heh. I'll give that a try! I'll admit to being disappointed that there's not something I've missed. I was hoping there was some benefit I was missing from using both Ctrl groups and armies.

Other games have had this feature. And it's great for lousy players like me. I'd like the ability to click any location on the minimap while in pause and see the map. Scroll-wheel altitude with it would be great, too. Obviously, if that portion of the map's not revealed I'd get darkness. That's to be expected. This way I can pause the game in order to survey the landscape of my battles. Or, of course, when I come back after having to stop for any rea

First, let me qualify all you're about to read as coming from someone who's no good at this style game. I easily get distracting trying to make something work on one part of the map and forget about other things I wanted to remember to deal with elsewhere, etc. ADHD, more or less. I also tend to just forge ahead instead of figuring out all the nuances of build orders, types, upgrade types, costs, etc. I'm more the action RPG type that wants to tank. So, there are my challenges. I

[quote who="BigDogBigFeet" reply="53" id="3603259"] I did an in place upgrade from Win 7 to Win 10. Latest build is very nice improvement. [/quote] Nice to hear. Make sure you have your mfr's latest Win10 drivers. I've heard MS can overwrite them with updates on Win10 sometimes...

[quote who="alaknebs" reply="49" id="3602948"] system should be arriving today, got question regarding drivers. should i let win 10 find/update drivers or go d/l them myself? [/quote] Even if it's a pre-built system check the mfr's website for motherboard, sound, network, etc., etc. Make sure the PC/motherboard is at the latest, recommended BIOS version. Then make sure the motherboard has the latest chipset drivers. From there make sure sound, network

[quote who="superman" reply="37" id="3602135"] I tried Windows 10 but no win 10 drivers were available for my laptop at HP website. So it started to heat upto 65-70°C when idle. I switched back to Win 7 now its fine. [/quote] If you're willing to try it again - and I understand if you aren't - many recommend the Win8.x drivers if the mfr hasn't released Win10 drivers. Good luck! If you're looking at buying anoth

[quote who="RedneckDude" reply="24" id="3601944"] Why would that be illegal? [/quote] According to what you said, that Win10 does not replace your old key and the old key is still usable, there is nothing illegal about retaining the original Winx partition and dual-booting to the new Win10 partition. I haven't had anyone clarify that for me before. So thanks!
