Your issue sounds like a bug. This guy's is not a bug, there is another thread with a video of him in and it is clearly cheating with ranks and rows of units he couldn't possibly have had within the first few minutes of the game.
The guy did take 6 hours but I don't think that is typical. People's levels vary considerably so I wouldn't take one or two examples as a confirmed common pattern. I confess I haven't played the mission myself so I'll have to give it a go now too...I'll stick with normal though :)
Well, if he can't cheat anymore then I don't mind playing with him, but I would like to know one way or the other. Some communication from the Devs would be nice. Not good for the community if everyone starts thinking someone might be cheating.
This post and another one both point out DiDimao as cheating and if you look at his recent matches he is no longer playing ranked. I want to know if he was banned from that or if the hack was fixed? Because he plays custom, I'm in a lobby with him now in fact, and I want to know if he can still cheat. So did you ban him from ranked so he can't cheat in the more "important" multiplayer or have you actually fixed the cheating which then turned him off ranked. If you just pushed the chea
Someone had this problem a few days back on the Steam forums, some of the advice may or may not be useful to you. http://steamcommunity.com/app/228880/discussions/1/350542683186272928/
Yes please! When will the Beta begin?
Shaking even in the menus by the look of it :/
I assume both laptops are plugged in and High Performance is chosen on both. I would monitor CPU and GPU temps, one might be throttling compared to the other. The higher the graphics setting the closer they come in performance which suggests to me it could be the CPU throttling. The higher the settings, with the accompanying lower frame rate, then the CPU has to work less hard and the GPUs work harder. The lower the settings then the CPU has to work harder and that is wher
Good talk. I caught the twitch stream of the expansion to Sorcerer King the other week when Brad was playing + bug fixing it, and it looked pretty good. Great art style and look to the game. May have to pick it up at some point.
Escalation is a great name for the expansion, but I've seen the name Ashes of the Singularity praised quite a lot as a good name so I wouldn't worry about it. It shortens to Ashes nicely too.
[quote who="DOHCtor" reply="1" id="3650421"] I tried the Crazy setting too just for the fun of it and i got a '' Out of memory'' windows error screen... I have 24Gb of RAM... lol! [/quote] That probably refers to the VRAM memory, or even possibly the page file memory. One of the settings of Crazy uses a ton of VRAM, hence the name Crazy I guess. It is odd though as tbh it should still work.
[quote who="peter_neate" reply="24" id="3649477"] Entirely possible. He seemed to think it was okay. However the map not updating correctly doesn't seem like lag. Lag/latency should slow the game down as movements get sent to the other player at increasingly longer intervals. And you'd expect it to be equally distributed amongst both players. [/quote] Dropped packets would account for the map not updating. I wonder if for ranked played both players play off a central
The sale is still on for owners, though the 50% off for Ashes owners is not really a sale, it is a fixed discount or price, and will last at least up to the release of the expansion. Don't know about after.
[quote who="peter_neate" reply="21" id="3649352"] Game Sync Bug Again + Map not updating [/quote] Is that a bug? All those things you describe could potentially be ascribed to lag. The ranked games our global so you could be playing some with a poor connection in Brazil or China etc. I am not saying it couldn't be handled better, especially the start, but I think it is a very real possibility they really could all be from lag and dropped packages.

[quote who="fantstc1" reply="22" id="3649224"] Quoting Ticktoc, reply 18 1) Split the unit attack and HP upgrades into separate ones for T1 and T2 (and above). At the moment T1 does become a little bit obsolete, not totally, but its role becomes a lot smaller. They become easily killed and are especially vulnerable to orbi
Two further ideas to increase replayability/strategies: 1) Split the unit attack and HP upgrades into separate ones for T1 and T2 (and above). At the moment T1 does become a little bit obsolete, not totally, but its role becomes a lot smaller. They become easily killed and are especially vulnerable to orbital strikes. If you split the attack and HP upgrades so T1 got their own and so did T2 it means they could be made viable all the way to the end game. This is especially import
[quote who="sonicandsmoke" reply="67" id="3649136"] So are my friend and myself getting Escalation for free as also stated in your roadmap: ($19.99 or those who own the game at the time of release) , as we owned the game before release? [/quote] No, you can get Escalation for $19.99. I'm a basic level founder and I still have to pay $19.99 so you have to too :p
Good, you do good bug reports :)
As a Legendary player it will only put you against people in the top couple of ranks, so really that limits you to playing at more peak times. At the time you posted this it is the middle of the school/working day in Europe and North America is asleep. As these will be where the vast majority of players are from I would be amazed if you found someone from the top few ranks to play against right now. Though as I mentioned above it is normally better to re-enter the queue every 5-10 minutes.</p
As a side note, if you don't find a match after 5+ minutes it is worth leaving the queue and then re-enter it. Certainly wouldn't leave it longer than 10. Edit: Though I see you are rank 10 in Legend, so it is harder to find games as it will only put you against the top few ranks I think.
[quote]## Increasing Replayability ## One of the major projects for after version 1.6 (Fall) is to implement features that will further increase replayability. The sandbox game is something we think is very strong. But Ashes isn't a 4X game which are the kings of strategy replayability. And while we love multiplayer, only a small percentage of people play Ashes multiplayer. We are adding more features for MP (such as replays) to help on that end. But we want people t
[quote who="fantstc1" reply="15" id="3648522"] Pointed at overclock issue, which I have read about in several places. Also pointed at my own specs as point of comparison. [/quote] True, apologies if my response was too strong. Unless it is throttling, unlikely in a desktop, overclocking will possibly cause the game to freeze or crash etc. but I don't believe it will worsen performance.
[quote who="fantstc1" reply="9" id="3648489"] Sigh. What you're describing doesn't seem very relevant. [/quote] I suspect the OP might be thinking much the same about your contribution to this thread. The very first sentence in your initial reply started to derail the thread onto what appears to be an area of strong opinion to yourself but irrelevant to the OP His system was under performing, it is natural to want the best performance after spending a conside
[quote who="sjo102784" reply="6" id="3648419"] Okay, verdict is in and the results seem to indicate that I'm an idiot. I didn't have my RAM in the dual channel slots. After moving a single RAM stick one slot over for the dual channel config, my FPS in Ashes bounced up to 60 FPS with the "Extreme" graphics settings. D'oh. [/quote] Excellent. Tbh you might want to cancel that faster RAM now...I'd feel bad if you spent that money and it didn't mak
If you are truly budget oriented then going by the video I showed above the 470 is still a good option. But really it all depends on local pricing. In the UK the place which sells them at their cheapest is overclockers.co.uk. Cheapest non-reference 470 £169 (€200); cheapest non-reference 480 4GB £199 (€237); and cheapest 1060 6GB £235 (€280). I mention all those prices as I know some mainland Europeans do buy from overclockers. You'd have to
