Are there any streaming from the harddrive in this game? in Ashes of the Singularity Founders AshesoftheSingularity Forums

There's quite a lot of stutters / short freezes in this game compared to others. I've always suspected either my harddrive or the chipset controlling SATA is at fault but seeing as I'm having a hard time believing that this game is texture streaming I'm starting to think that this might not be the cause. So does anyone know if this game streams data from the harddrive while you're playing? Specs: ASUS Z87-PRO Motherboard, Core i7 4770K,

We now managed to establish that the fault lies on my brother's side. I can join any random games and he can't. No matter HOW many times he completely deletes the game from the hard-drive and reinstalls from steam, the same issue persists. This leads me to believe that either he's got some kind of virus (but he's scanned for that and nothing was found) or whatever API that rebellion uses to calculate hashes or something, is somehow different on his computer than for the rest o

Go to Steam -> Library -> Right click on your game -> Properties -> Local files -> Verify integrity of game cache. Always manually delete everything in the mesh folder in the game's install directory before this as well. This can be caused by having an extra mesh file in there, even if its not used, in which case verify integrity

Your mesh files differ from the host (Steam) in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

Anyone know about a fix for this? The ones that have been posted on this site does not work for us (me and my friends). We've tried the following: - Deleting the game completely from steam and making sure the folder is removed from the hard-drive After which we reinstalled the game completely from steam. - Copy the mesh folder from my mesh to theirs - Delete the mesh folder and use verify None of these things worked, we've also ve

Reply to Tactical combat. in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

+1 For tactical combat, personally I prefer the real-time combat of Pax Imperia 2 ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=ceYoFQbAjpU#t=626 ) (boy do I wish someone would make a sequel to that game) No tactical combat was my absolute biggest gripe with GalCiv 2 (next to no multiplayer then of course). And if you guys do implement it (crossing fingers :D)

Reply to I think part of the problem is... in War of Magic Elemental Forums

I agree with op somewhat. Frogboy should've stayed true to his first vision of the game and when the game's done and players have it THEN he should start using the community input. Now its just a classical example of "too many cooks spoil the broth" Now don't get me wrong. Stardock is one of the few companies that have great interaction with their community/customers. But when it comes to the games and game design I really think that a company should first and forem

Reply to Elemental: The Master List in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

Another thing that would be great to have from the age of wonders series is the ability for the sovereign to cast spells in tactical battles that are within his/her domain without his/her's physical presence in the tactical battle.

Reply to Elemental: The Master List in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

Nice list! But please have a look at the viability of having a feature where we can choose how much mana to expend on any given tactical spell and thus increase the power of that spell, like in MoM. This would make the magic system a bit more interesting.

Reply to You forgot one important feature from MoM! in War of Magic Elemental Forums

[quote who="Archonsod" reply="3" id="2745218"]Fireball in MoM attacked all figures in the unit, which made it less effective than pretty much any other direct damage spell.[/quote] Ah right i remembered wrong then =) But in any case I hope the devs do something like this, even if it means they need to add a "channeling" stat to the game also.

Reply to You forgot one important feature from MoM! in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Yep, although same elemental magic like "fireball" in MoM could be made AoE here and more expended mana could mean both increased damage and larger impact area. But if my memory serves i think "fireball" was a spell in MoM too but not an AoE spell but just a more powerful version of firebolt and you could expand less mana than firebolt for more damage or something like that. (there is probably someone in this forum that has a more recent memory of MoM than i have that can verify th

You forgot one important feature from MoM! in War of Magic Elemental Forums

And that feature is the possibility to choose how much mana you want to expend on your spells and thus how much damage that spell does when you use it. This could be used for other spells like raise land too, by increasing the AoE range for it. For example in MoM when you got enough channeling you could cast some pretty devestating "lvl 1 spells" e.g fire bolt. A suggestion is that perhaps essence should control how much mana you can channel instead of how mu

Yeah there is definitely a problem when you play with 2 people behind the same router I can play with my brothers fine for a random amount of time but usually atleast 20 minutes but after that, one of them ALWAYS gets disconnected, then the game progresses fine when only 1 is left, this has been happening everytime so its pretty consistent. Im on a 24/2 Mbit's connection and they are on a 10/10 Mbit's full-duplex fiber connection so the bandwidth isn't the issue here either.</

Reply to Severe freezing/stuttering issue in Demigod Stardock Forums

This needs to be fixed before the game releases otherwise you'll probably see alot of whining on the forums. Lag and freezes are probably the worst thing you can have in a game, i doubt there are other issues that kills the "feeling" of a game more than this. Could this have something to do with me running Windows 7 64-bit (seems a bit farfetched though since i doubt they've changed the network handling in win7)? What OS do you other guys with the same problem ha

The freezes are still present as of the new patch, although the freeze duration seem to be shorter now, but they still happen every 30 sec. I guess the fix didn't make it into the last patch?
