If I had to guess I'd probably point to the RAM. This game really likes high bandwidth RAM. My brother was doing some testing on Ashes as he bought a R9 Fury recently and wanted to compare results to his old card. He has DDR4 3000Mhz RAM. He did his benches but then noticed his RAM was only running at 2133Mhz so after setting it back to 3000Mhz he did the benches again. The difference was about 3-7 FPS I believe, depending on the type of batches. That is a very significant boost j

If Ashes is your main concern here is a comparison video with the RX 470 4GB vs RX 480 8GB vs GTX 1060 6GB vs GTX 970 4GB The link should jump to the right place but if it doesn't you can jump to it by clicking the appropriate link in the description https

I tried to look up 2x270 performance in the Metaverse benchmark section but the Filter is not working for me at the moment. If you can afford it then go for the 1060/480. The 1060 is the faster of the two, so if price is similar go for that. If you go for the 480 get the 4GB version, it is much better value for money than the 8GB version as it isn't really fast enough to take advantage of 8GB (unless CF). If price is a strong consideration and you can find a nicely priced 47

I'm not sure the player base is there for ranked 2v2, but who knows, could be a case of "build it and they will come". Games would take longer to finish too. A lot more people in ranked at the moment because of the weekend sale though. 2v2 tournaments would be cool.

I get no 1. too sometimes. Most annoying. 4. Long - Can't place buildings in places where they can clearly go, then later you can. A good Thread for old but painful bugs: https://forums.ashesofthesingularity.com/479189/page/1/#3647730 After the expansion is out, assuming it doesn't fix these, I think the Devs need to stop with new stuff for a while and put a cou

Well, I just gave this a quick shot. Don't often do scenarios so was good to start on them. I don't normally do Sub but I put it on the harder difficulty. I have to say it is a slog and a half, I haven't finished yet. If I were to base everything on this scenario alone I would say Subs ability to take down defended positions was pathetic. You have to build a lot of the anti-building T2 unit, the Destructor to take them down. Without them you won't take them down without massiv

[quote who="Sangpur" reply="54" id="3647947"] Hi, I have a question. As a newcommer who will pay 40$ to preorder the standalone expansion, do i get acces to the base game right away until the expansion releases? [/quote] On the Escalation store page it says: Pre-Purchase Offer Pre-order Ashes of the Singularity: Escalation and receive a free copy of Ashes of the Singularity to play immediately! So yeah, you should.

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="25" id="3647900"] No. We ran into dire usability issues the moment we started testing this. The stats of units in the base game are different in Escalation due to balance changes. We are going to be talking to the community on how best to handle this in the future so we can see under what circumstances we can let both games play some version together. [/quote] I thought you were going to essentially have Escalation on the co

Nope, not gonna by this game again. I am already a founder level for this game. Now I have to buy an expansion? I understand the need to make money but this seems a slap in the face of founder backers. Sorry will not be purchasing this one, I will just wait 6 months until you discount 75% on steam. Very disappointed with the Stardock Team and are you guys ever going to fix Servo? I'm a basic founder too. Fortunately I am

I am glad the OP is documenting many of these issues so well. Sadly the building a unit in an inappropriate building bug has been a round for a long time and brought up by others. The army ctrl-group bug has been around since release and been mentioned many times. The bug where you try and use an orbital or do an upgrade and it takes you off that screen when a unit dies has been around since release and mentioned many times. I think the not capturing way point bug is a newer bug. Thes

[quote who="Sonar_Taxlaw" reply="22" id="3646070"] I'm going to go out on a limb and say that this was a major consideration on saving replays for a later date. As it presently stands, Ashes looks much better from an isometric view than it would with the ability to zoom around with impunity. [/quote] That doesn't really make sense. People can enjoy playing the game but wouldn't be able to stomach watching it back? Replays are more about seeing what the othe

[quote who="DanailLazov" reply="21" id="3646034"] Thoroughly unsatisfying 1v1 ranked map pool. . . like the only purpose of everyone's writing on the forums criticizing maps was ignored. Same old unbalanced maps. Bad. [/quote] Are all the maps really the same as last season?! The one's I've done are the same and someone in the game chat said they were all the same...I am really surprised by that. Frogboy said the new season would have new and very diff

I might see 40FPS at the start of a match, or zoomed very far in, but once I've got a decent size going it'll slow to under 30FPS.

[quote who="RomeoReject" reply="17" id="3646006"] I'll have to ask what is is he's got for settings then. As it is, I have absolutely no MSAA/FXAA, and most settings between medium and high.

A slight tangent, but I recently got to see the game in 4k on Extreme running on a Fury (with Freesync). The extra clarity and fidelity on the units and buildings are really really nice. However some things did not improve so well and so was a bit jarring. The yellow resource lanes looked bad and the nodes/generators which represent a region looked a bit blurred/low texture too. One bug, which the owner says also occurs on their 7970 too and I saw it with the Fury myself, was that the

[quote who="sdRohan" reply="17" id="3645904"] My apologies,Ticktoc; I will attempt to be more clear. Yes, it will be looked at. My reason for wondering if people were seeing tearing with it off is to see if the workaround was indeed worse than the actual reported issue. The number of people that would have to use it at all, however, should be nominal - we have only seen the 'jitter' in very rare instances and not always consistently among them. <br

[quote who="Gatokatcha" reply="12" id="3645886"] My english is fuzzy, I'm confused. Did the the replays got delayed until the expansion or are they delayed to an undetermined time? [/quote] Looks like the latter, I think.

Also can't always select the start spot you want even when no one has it. Get given options already occupied.

Yeah, PHC bombers can be pretty terrible. And some Sub players say their Punisher does not fire often, with some resorting to stopping the bomber in quick succession in mid-flight and letting it act like a gunship. An exploit I really hope the devs are aware of. A lot of new air units coming with the expansion. I really hope they have worked on air a lot. As mentioned above TA has the best air movement and feeling. Fighters aren't so bad in Ashes but bomber movement is not good.</

[quote who="Tolkenmoon" reply="8" id="3645434"] Hello. Daft question but i cannot for the life of me find where to download the v1.3 patch. I see links stating it's available yet i cannot seem to find the download itself. Thanks [/quote] On Steam it will download automatically unless you have set settings which stop it doing so. If it is still running v1.24 then you could try a reboot of Steam or

Played a game last night with 1.3 and also noticed little reaction from units right near by to the fighting.

Are the top 3 going to get some kind of prize? Would seem to be a nice gesture and a fun incentive. Even just $50 to the winner, $30 to 2nd and $20 to 3rd would do I'd think. Money is easy to send via paypal nowadays and $100 every few months won't break the bank. Or if money wasn't deemed appropriate then perhaps a gift of whatever Steam game they wanted up to a certain value would be a good alternative. Another idea for a nice little gesture would be that
