Re: SE:V v1.33 Patch Available!

I was starting new games. I am using an Empire file though if that makes any difference (although I cant really see how).

Re: SE:V v1.33 Patch Available!

I did this and I can launch the game OK, but I get crashes to desktop and access violations if I click on a star or often any other features like storms etc.

If I start a new 'stock' game, this...

Re: SE:V v1.33 Patch Available!

You can select mods from the 'Game Type' option in the set-up I believe.

Re: SE:V v1.33 Patch Available!

Awesome, thanks!

I think I'm going to hold off on trying it until I have the latest copy of your mod. So, hopefully you can get it out tonight and I can try to get on the SE5 bandwagon again....

Re: OT: MOO3

The best description I ever saw for MOO3 was on the official QuickSilver forums back when the game first released.

It was described as "MOO3 is a turd...with corn in it".

And that was a very...

Re: Season 3 BSG

Yep, I agree. They foreshadowed it quite a bit when she was looking down and reaching for the ejection handle just before the ship blew up. It really wouldnt surprise me for her to pop back up...

Re: Release Date for the next patch?

At this point, I think a 'public beta' should be an option for those interested. It will increase feedback and would likely help demonstrate that a lot of progress is being made on a consistant...

Re: SEV - to buy, or not to buy?

I didnt ever think their should be. But I'v seen that same 'excuse' before (it was only made by one guy, not 100s). My point was simply that whether it was made by 1 or 101, is immaterial. It is...

Re: SEV - to buy, or not to buy?

Its got nothing to do with not be willing to pay more than $40. I go into the store on onto the website...I pay the amount listed. And for most reasonably recent games I've bought, I've paid right...

Re: SEV - to buy, or not to buy?

I havent paid more than $40 for a PC game in forever...certainly not for Paradox/Matrix/Shrapnel/Strategy First title.

You can quibble about the actual final price, but the sentiment is the same.

Re: SEV - to buy, or not to buy?

While I agree with the sentiment, that doesnt materially affect anything. I dont recall seeing any discount or disclaimer on this game because its made by one guy as opposed to one made my 200. It...

Re: SEV - to buy, or not to buy?

If you like the demo, you'll like the game. No questions there.

I cant get past the glacial turn processing times and the generally poor pacing of the early game. But if you arent having problems...

Re: Vote: Who is still playing SEV ?

Same thing as a lot of the above guys....I play each time the new patch comes out and so far each time, I give up in frustration.

Waiting on the next patch....

I think the effect he is seeing is that unis with Thermal Sights (regardless of nationality) tend to cost a lot of points. By and large, US formations tend to have a lot of units with Thermal, giving...

Re: SEV Beta History starting V1.0

Well, it sounds like the game will actually be playable after the next patch.

Sooo, the $20000 question is when will this fix hit the open market? Hopefully sooner rather than later because its...

Re: AI Combat speedup test for the Balance Mod 1.0

Yeah, but think how fast it would go with your changes AND at 32x. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: Any suggestions for speeding up turn processin

Running in Windowed Mode now. I cant scroll the map in all directions (likely because of the size of the window). But I can at least use the keyboard to do that.

Re: Any suggestions for speeding up turn processin

Id MUCH rather see the turn processing sped up to something reasonable than either windowing or minimzizing. Although either of the latter would be FAR better than what we have now.

Re: Any suggestions for speeding up turn processin

At an average of 3 minutes per turn (being generous)and say about 100 turns to get to having hundreds of ships fighting in a late game battle, I will have wasted over 4&1/2 gaming hours watching the...

Re: Any suggestions for speeding up turn processin

Hmm, what kind of a rig are you getting only 40 second turns with? 40 seconds would be completely acceptable IMO assuming combat were being resolved, but 7 minutes is truly unplayable.

And no, it...

Re: Any suggestions for speeding up turn processin
