"it's misleading Dan to tell people everything is peachy on a lowend system" Show me where I said that. I'll show you where I said this... "I will admit to play the game with all the fidelity settings at max, and expect a nice smooth experience then yeah you need a beefy system. But to play, you ABSOLUTELY DO NOT NEED A KING OF HILL SYSTEM." It plays respectable on low fidelity or medium with a less then stellar system.
"Fact 2: You can run the game ok on the lowest settings and on small maps with low number of opponents if you have system that is above the minimum requirements." I can run any map, with any number of players on low fidelity settings. Unit limits can't be 1000 granted but they can be 250 or 500. It's playable. "Fact 6: If you want full graphical" Again the word Want, not need. "but merely saying that if you have a low end system relative to supcom's needs then you ca
You didn't say "IF you want good performance" You said... "Warning though: This game NEEDS a VERY POWERFUL system to run it. You should run it on nothing less than: Duo 2 core (or quad core) the game is VERY processor intensive. nvidia 7900 or better (512 or more video ram recommended)(game currently doesn't support sli) 2-3 gigs of ram on xp or 4 gigs on vista (large maps with 7 ai requires 3 gigs of ram) I'm not joking this game was designed for only the highest end sy
"After playing through the campaign I would have to say that my views are slightly less favourable to DA than before - while DA is an excellent expansion it's by no means the "best expansion ever" like people are saying in this thread" I think that has been firmly established.
Nice see some explanation for the situation as well as some help and resolution.
By the way, the main problem for video issues both for Galciv2 and of course Supreme Commander is people not updating their video card drivers. Not updating video card drivers = less then stellar video performance. If you get an oil change for your car every 3-5k miles you should be updating your video card drivers as often.
If your graphics card is not direct X 9 compliant the game is going to crash whenever there is a DX9 call that the card doesn't support. Get a new graphics card. The specs are spelled out on the box man. Radeon 9700 is not supported.
"Thanks for cussing me out... I really needed that since I haven't had a good cussing out in ages...damn that felt good ..no really man thanks! YOU ROCK! It's amazing that you can get it to run with anything above 12fps on that ancient rig of yours. I'm impressed. Feel free to post on Gas Powered Games forums and explain to everyone how it is that you can run the game just fine since people with far more powerful systems seem to be having trouble.I'm sure the developers would like to kn
I would suspect the reason your human response time has been lacking is a combination of factors. I.e. re-submitting tickets for service, in conjunction with the release of DA, they are of course trying to service a large group of customers with a limited staff. However a customer service experience with issues lasting 2 weeks rather then 2 days or 2 hours is certainly neither ideal for the company or for the customer. Persistence pays off, and as time goes on the quantity of service t
"What company updates their products like Stardock?" Lead Pursuit
"What other company has people(Kryo)on the forums helping people?" Lead Pursuit
"Stardock support is the best there is." That's a load of bullshit, as evidence by this thread.
I would try email again.
"But to be honest, I don't really care about ground combat in this game. For me the interest lies in other parts. Ground combat is just a by-product." More honest then the devs for it is clear this is what they had in mind too.
"You may think that your 250-pound hairy hermaphrodite half cousin is the prettiest girl at the prom, but that doesn't make it so." Seriously is speech like this ever necessary on any topic?
"Hey - lets start a campaign for a NEW expansion - one that concentrates on diplomacy and UP issues. Who do I give my money to for this kind of expansion??" A competitor of Stardock maybe.
Are you still unable to get either program to work?
"Warning though: This game NEEDS a VERY POWERFUL system to run it. You should run it on nothing less than: Duo 2 core (or quad core) the game is VERY processor intensive. nvidia 7900 or better (512 or more video ram recommended)(game currently doesn't support sli) 2-3 gigs of ram on xp or 4 gigs on vista (large maps with 7 ai requires 3 gigs of ram)" Bah Thats BullShit. I'm playing on a bargain machine built in 2003. Observe, P4 2.4 ghz, non-HT certainly not a Dual core
"Personally I think DA is worth about 7/10. This equates to a good product." Agree. But since I haven't played it yet, my review is worthless.
"That's what everyone in the industry wants you to think. Release the game unfinished, it'll be patched later. Just because *everyone* does it nowadays, doesn't mean it's correct." ABSOFRICKENLUTELY! Not like some of these "improvements" couldn't have been patched into the original game, but hey can't make a buck doing that.
"I don't agree that this adds a whole lot of variety to the game. You can already make a lot of bombardment decisions when invading a planet, and that's a handful of decisions right there. It's not supposed to zoom to Civ when you're planetside. It's a Galactic game. There is no choice to be urban or rural, or bliztkrieg or not. Even in reality, the range of decisions is often one or two or one of several, not nearly as much as the game already offers now. The main thing that players no
I'm glad somebody finally agrees that the AI isn't the cat meow that it could be. It certainly isn't a skilled human player. Unfortunately I don't see real drastic improvements occurring in the near term but I could be wrong. What would be nice would be a multiplayer option, so you could at least struggle with some human companionship. Play at a level beyond the AI. Maybe that'll eventually happen one day too.
"This game seems unfinished, a starting point to keep adding new features, at the expense of consecutive "expansion packs". That's not good." I disagree, I think it's great, I just want those expansion paks coming out ever 2 or 3 months instead of once a year/every 8 or 9 months. Oh well. "Name a single expansion that threw in a massive number of features, i.e. was creative, without screwing up balance, A.I., introduced a massive number of bugs, etc. And don't hit me with the
"To be perfectly honest, asteroids, planet environments, custom player creation, they should all have been introduced in the base game, not in an expansion pack." AGREE! As for the best expansion being the "10" to which all other expansions should compare to, that's about the most absurd opinion I've heard on the subject." Further Agree. 10/10, 5/5 should be reserved for expansions where everything asked for and clearly missing, within reason, from the game should be a
It was the auto spell check, chalk up another one for AI that slips... thou rough the creak. I.e. through the crack.
