[quote who="Frogboy" reply="15" id="3257085"]. The only internet connection it needs is when you first launch it to type in your serial number to associate that game with your account so that you can get updates and future discounts. [/quote] I didn't have to do this.. but I assume its because I had the betas installed previously. However the first time it tried to connect i denied it access through my fire wall and it locked up.

[quote who="Neil Banfield" reply="13" id="3257079"] Quoting ls35a, reply 12Quoting Yarlen, reply 11Yeah, the release version does not require constant Internet after install. That would be excellent news, this looks like a very interesting game. I'm waiting to hear it from Stardock, though. Just in case they've changed their minds. Yarlen is from Stardock.[/quote] So are you...

[quote who="ls35a" reply="9" id="3257039"]This is from the stardock webpage: "Internet connection required for activation and to play." So, always on internet required? I have zero problem with an activation on install. And Steam doesn't bother me because it's offline mode works fine for me. But any single player game that wants a constant connection to the internet

WOM early adopter.. no steam for me. ( its not even on my system) Im poking you about FE trying to connect and you think i run steam.. [e digicons]:rofl:[/e] Edit: it doesn't seem to be doing it now. I logged in once and logged out and it seems to have stopped. Maybe authentication?

[quote who="CariElf" reply="3" id="3257000"]Check your prefs.ini file in My Documents\My Games\FallenEnchantress to make sure that it did indeed set AutoLogin to 0. If you're logged in, it will refresh the login periodically so that you will be logged in to unlock achievements, etc. There's also checks for if anyone on your Stardock friends list has sent you messages, refreshes the friend list, etc. All of these checks happen in background threads so they shouldn't aff

[quote who="Heavenfall" reply="10" id="3256988"]Maybe it's random? It's first on my screen. See FE popped up on top sellers list as well (13 atm).[/quote] Ya its random.. I had to refresh like 50 times to get it.. lol But it shows. Plus frog boy posted that FE got top billing today on steam. Just so happens to share it with 50 other games. Edit: actually it was like 5 or 6.. games.. just kept getting them rather than FE lol

[quote who="Sarudak" reply="1" id="3256983"] quoting post 1. Sandbox is no longer allowed (I can no longer disable conquest victory!) This is a feature. It was listed in the change logs. Keep in mind you are playing a game not a sandbox...[/quote] Silly people think that sandbox mode means sandbox mode...

Auto login was off, and even if it wasnt it would't explain why it connects 5 or 6 times on start up.. then once every 5 or 10 mins during game play.. then 3 or 4 times on closing. no matter how many times I allow it.. it still keeps on trying unless i perm. allow it. Wtf is it doing connecting every 5-10 mins? (during gameplay none the less) I'm not gonna suggest any nefarious silliness. But its seems a bit excessive so I'm rather curious why its continuall

I was under the impresion that the internet requirements for FE would be removed on release. However FE continues to request a connection even as i'm on the sov creation screan.. and the first time i denied it previously it locked up. So what gives? Edit: to be more clear.. it spammed for a connection on start up which I allowed.. now its again asking for a connection on the sov creation screen.. why is it constantly trying to connect? The fir

Now, to save yourself pain and aggravation please do the following: UNINSTALL the beta. Completely. That also means go into the my games\fallen enchantress directory and rename it to something else (or delete it entirely). Don’t take any chances. Start from a clean setup. For the more te

[quote who="seanw3" reply="75" id="3256722"]It used to be that the graphics were suspect. But they have done a ton of work on perfecting that storytime shaded textures feel. It's really quite nice. But hey, not everyone has to agree. That is what art is all about. Games too.[/quote] I'm not a fan of the Aesthetic style chosen. The art it self is quite good, just not a fan of the style. That said... I'll take it over the the current fad where devs use so much bloom an

[quote who="Friscoblitz" reply="9" id="3211575"]I have the same problem as Agorwallace and I'm wondering if it's because I use the character ! in my password and it just doesn't like that. Also I don't understand Fistalis's answer to hit Ctrl Tab. What is he referring to and when is he indicating to hit Ctrl Tab?[/quote] Start up Fallen enchantress and spam CTRL+TAB til the menu opens. FE has a sub menu similar to that of Steam for acheivements etc left in fr

Update: So here's the deal.. I got one slot. Added Crusader Kings to it. Downloaded it. Started it up.. watched adds and played.I did run into some difficulty.. since it was tabbing out when my Fire wall would ask if I should allow it.. the ads wouldn't run and the game wouldn't start. Adding it as a permanent exception fixed it. Note every time you start the game you'll have to sit through about 1 min of ads, and the slot expires in about 2 weeks. So in

Something new in the digital realm for gamers. Void. Pretty much you get a limited number of slots. You can choose any game from gamergates Void library and fill those slots. Once you have selected a game you can download it.. watch a few mins of advertising then play it as much as you want. Your stuck with the game until that slot expires and you can then choose another game. But it costs the user nothing.. and there are some interesting games available. (mainly older

[quote who="Tattyhat" reply="6" id="3149941"] Quoting Fistalis, reply 5 No. Tages is used by alot of older ubisoft games. Not got anything by them. I usually stay clear of anything more than a serial key and everything that I have is suppose to be DRM free. I will find out, and when I do, they are going to get a telling off.

[quote quoting="post"] I only have a few games on my computer and as far as I know all but Steam are DRM free.

So its doubtful its specific to any hardware. Bottom line is the devs design and test on upper tier ATI cards.. and if they can't reproduce it they ignore it.
