It's probably a sepcial ability they are trying to use. Right now if an Air Elemental tries to use an ability it crashes my game everytime. ic annot even get past one battle because of it.
[quote who="BlackRainZ" reply="185" id="2777477"] Quoting Kuriostone, reply 184 Quoting Rune_74, reply 182 So...um, did you send in your bug file? Um... I didn't pay $80 to be a beta tester. If they want to credit me back some of my money, I'd be happy to do work for Stardock, but I already have a job. This is not what a game community is for. What a jerk, you and the other guy complaining. If you have a bug which is causing problems you report
It cannot be played right now. It's just sitting there. I can't even fight tactical battles without crashing constantly. I am not going to roll back to previous versions(fact is I don't even know how without full reinstall) nor amI going to disect a perfectly fine computer trying to tweak it for Stardock. OOM errors occur more often the bigger the maps and the more you save. The # of OOM crashes is not going to be system dependent. It's in the game code. I have seen thi
Attempting to try and find an updated driver for sound card. I really can't find one for Vista. I am not really prepared to tear my computer to pieces to get this game running correctly. I can install anything else i want and it runs perfect. Why in the world do I want to reconfigure my whole system in probably a vain attempt to get this game running?
[quote who="John_Hughes" reply="8" id="2777399"]Perhaps not related but might shed some light for someone. http://techreport.com/discussions/9994 [/quote] No this is not a problem for me. I have never had an issue with this sound card before. It is either this game or a combination of this game with the sound card. I have never had anythign run so poorly on this system before. I can just download and install whatever and it
Creative SB X-fi sound card. I am updating drivers for it now(since you posted about it). It is the only driver that can be updated. A sound card is usually something that is always performance neutral, if this fixes the crashes I will be happy.
I have the latest ATI drivers(10.7). It is not the setup, it is this game. There is no reason for OOM errors even if someone had drivers that were a year old. This is absurd. Well the prblem being this...without horses you lose combat speed which means you attack less. Quite a big sacrifice when you think about it.
I'll post my specs a lot of good it will do. It's not people's systems it's the game code. Radeon 4870 1GB Intel I7 920 6GB RAM Win Vista Premium 64 bit This is a VERY VERY mainstream setup and I play every game without a hitch...all except this one.
The hotfix has made my game so unstable in tactical battles as to be basically unplayable.
I get crashes all the time too with this new build. I am not going to pay to beta test this game for them. It's darnright disgraceful. I want to pay a company 50 bucks and have a stable and fun game to play. I do not want to pay someone 50 bucks to bugtest and beta test their unfinished game. I anticpated some unpolished features when I bought, I did some research. but I figured it would at least run and be stable.
First get the flow of combat down. I don't care to stare at a slooooowly rising MISS message after every missed swing. I want a quick animation that ends immediately so I can continue on. I want when I click on the battefield that my character moves there pronto not just ignore my command because of some unfinished attack animation or pause. Things need to flow quickly so that tactical battles are enjoyable. I cannot stand clicking 20-30 times in anger trying to get my
Honestly better to wait until this is a bargain buy. I wish I had waited. I wen t ahead and bought it and after the last hotfix I cannot even play the game due to crashes. This game is still in Beta...it's not just rushed out the door, this is a pay to beta the game program.
I get a crash when an air elemental tries to cast smething I also get all kind of random CTDs in the tactical battle mode. They were not there until AFTER this hotfix.
I am getting crashes all the bleeping time too. The hotfix has made the game barely work. Crashes during battles, crashes on auto resolves, dumps me due to OOM. This is really the most unplayable version by far.
A demo at this point is very bad idea. Don't get me wrong I think this game will be great at some point. But right now a demo would scare away more people than it brought in.
I have tried the patch to address more memory which in theory should make the OOM crashes 3 times as lest frequent. I don't think i did it right before so I just didn't touch the .exe when it was hotfixed. I'll try turning sounds off? You mean all of them? or just tactical ones? The point I was trying to make is if the battles were not so agonizingly tedious reloading crashed games would not be so bad. I could live through the crashes until they finally fixed them
It depends on the size of the map you play on, what turn it is, and how much you save. Frankly a memorry leak is in Stardocks code. It is not dumping data like it should during certain points in the game. I think it is connected with the save feature. I auto save every other turn due to fear I'll lose all my progress. I have stopped playing on large maps because of the OOM error. It is STARDOCKS FAULT not people's systems. OOM errors are examples of sloppy programming t
ALl of the summons are waaaay overpowered for when you get them. Those AOE spells are crazy. The AI can get them early and there is that one imp guy I swear he can hit the entire battlefied and wipe every solider, champion, and my Sovereign out in one hit. I stopped using summons because of how cheesy they are. They are way better than any troop you can make especially early on.
I don't really know how to be constructive at this point. The game was pushed out before being ready this much is obvious. A lot can be said about speedy patches but even more can be said about the shoddy state of this game. Giant memory leaks are STILL there....these are not anomolies, they are in the game code. If it was just OOM crashes I could live with it, it crashes every hour on medium maps and every 30 mins on large mins with OOM. However with the latest patch I am getting crashes on
