game 2013 sounds like a winner... [e digicons]:D[/e]

Pretty common when playing full screen in games to have errors and issues with Alt tabbing. Thats not to say it's not an issue with elemental.. just that if you expect to be doing multiple things the best thing to do with just about any game is play in windowed mode with the window size set to take up the full screen.

To be honest i don't think you'll see a demo for Ewom. Your far more likely to see one for fallen enchantress. Purely an educated guess, but my advice to any potential buyers at this point would be wait for fallen enchantress anyway. When looking at a game with an upcoming standalone expansion its almost always best to wait and just buy the standalone.

[quote who="Tydorius" reply="4" id="2878762"]Are you using the beta release or still 1.1? Because 1.1 was very stable for me but the 1.19 (1.2 beta) is giving me performance issues and OOM's again.[/quote] This.. If your complaining about lack of stability in a beta patch.. thats going through open testing for stability then i'm really not sure what your beef is. Which looking at your post history seems to be your pattern.. complain about unstable beta patches w

my 2 cents on this subject.. no one asked for it but i freely give it. [e digicons]O:)[/e] The lack of mods is mainly due to a few core issues. Granted I haven't messed with modding elemental very much.. but from what I can see.. (anyone more experienced in modding elemental feel free to correct me if i'm wrong in any or all of the points) 1. limitations The majority of things we can mod in g

[quote quoting="post"]This was an even bigger deal in the modding world where we had very limited capabilities and resources. It wasn't just about coming up with a great idea for a mod, but coming up with an idea that was implementable. There were so many grand ideas that could never be done, and so many dull ideas that could be done, but no one wants to create a dull mod. The hardest part of design is finding an idea that fits both criteria.[/quote] I swear you've read some of my

I neither implied nor intended to imply that any platform is better or worse. Simply that those who have that sort of thinking tend to ignore the fact that any crazy BS PC publishers come up with eventually makes it onto consoles. You apparently missed what I said that was pertaini

What fact is that? How many things can you name of the "crazy BS PC publishers come up with" that made it onto consoles? The only reason they didn't bother with serial numbers before is because the consoles themselves are physical forms of protection (wh

Turn off auto turns.. and end turns manually. Never seen this issue with auto turns off.

[quote who="kyogre12" reply="13" id="2876644"] And there it is! Seriously, is it that hard for the fans of their respective platforms of choice to not be elitest ***holes to eachother? PC gamers trash on consoles, console gamers trash on PC gamers and the other consoles. Everyone is to blame here, but YOU ALL ****ING PLAY VIDEO GAMES!!! Can we all please just accept that each platfrom has its own strengths and weaknesses, and move on? Who gives a **** who did

I hate to say it but it is rather valid. DRM HAS to be on the list of things you research before you purchase a game. With the number of hoops we are expected to jump through for some drm systems, a person should really check to see if they are willing and able to jump through those hoops before buying a game. Its sad that gaming has gotten to this point but it is what it is. Many games I eagerly wanted to get my hands on have decided to use what I conside

[quote who="Alstein" reply="11" id="2876542"]I would not be shocked if one of the next-gen consoles actually did use Steam, or a Steam-like service. [/quote] I would be shocked if they didn't.

Think about it.. everything you see in modern console gaming was common place for pc games during the last console generation. The things that are com

[quote who="Sole Soul" reply="12" id="2132698"] Yes, it's integrated, but the site shows it to have 128MB dedicated memory rather than shared. I've never known an integrated yet to have VRAM of its own; that's kind of the point of it being integrated. (Sidenote: Some laptop graphics are very funky exceptions to this rule, as they try to use the turbocache option. It's weird.) I especially doubt that the 7100 does so. It's probably just your run of the mill no

It won't be long before we see the Steam model pop up on consoles. It's sadly gotten to the point where game makers think its okay to require internet.. cause anyone who plays games must have internet... you know its like electricity... [e digicons]:rolleyes:[/e] Serial codes don't work if you ask the general

RTS and TBS have tended to ignore the co-op outside of skirmish modes for the most part. Similar to the way FPS used to ignore it other than death matches. I will say when making a campaign mode(be it a mod or a released title) its far easier when you can ignore the co-op aspect. Not that it can't be done... but in general I think designers view the campaign as a persons introduction to the game for those particular genres.. with sandbox/skirmish/deathmatch being the "meat" of the gam

yes, he can.. if you dig deep enough there's a thread somewhere in which we debated in game marriage of relatives... entertaining reading to say the least.

[quote who="Istari" reply="18" id="2871499"] Yeah. I spent almost endless hours just using Kamiryns' CBC to make every character concept I could imagine, and then testing them out in a custom battle arena mod I created. I've never seen a game with more replayability.[/quote] Imho the NWN series set the bar for modability. Simple mods can be made by anyone.. and there are very little limitations for the advanced mod makers. I own all the games in the series and nwn is my preferred

IMO to sum it up. Your major problems seem to be with the way your setting up the game and researching techs. If the AI has way more def.. its because they researched armor techs and you didn't. If the map is too big.. play on a smaller map, if there's no creatures to kill pump up the map difficulty , if you want to explore more ruins work on adventure tech etc. I will agree the game has issues overall holding my interest.. but I can't really agree on your reasons.

[quote who="Harry Dresden" reply="1" id="2867651"]forget this post lol. When i installed the game it installed pulled up to installations at once and i didnt know it. So one of them was finished and the second one had the errors. Took me 5 installs to figure this out. Im such a moron lol. [/quote] Lol glad you resolved the issue.

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="8" id="2867644"]You get Fallen Enchantress for free. Are we seriously having a disagreement regarding semantics here? Seriously guys?[/quote]To be fair he said "Its fair that'll(that i'll?) get the expansions but i have lost faith in stardock" and just wanted a refund. I personally don't get the whole.. pre order and wait 6 months and decide after im done playing it to expect a refund but w.e Now if he is expecting to return

[quote who="BlackRainZ" reply="70" id="2867472"] Stating that your understanding of history is lacking, is not an insult. Many people lack in their understanding of history and that was in response to what you said to me first. In case you didn't realize that. Also, calling the way someone is acting as childish or obstinate again is not a personal attack on you. Your actions and who you are as a person are two different things. We can all act foolishly, childish, arrogant, et
