1.6b2: performance boost terrific. looks better too. congrats to cari and team. bugs? rename The Jagged Edge as Jagged Edge so don't get 'the The' in text. Also still recommend that Jagged Edge doesn't use a minor logo that is already in the game. perhaps, jagged edge should just have it's own logo? i tend, despite it not being reccommended, to save ship designs on top of previous ones - there is some weirdness if you do this (creation of user templates, new designs keeping old

the performance increase in 1.6b2 is exceptional. i can even play it on my PM 1Ghz, 512 Ram, Intel Extreme 2 laptop on battery, when it scales down to 600Mhz. Dammit, it looks better too! respek. evil

the Jagged Alliance Event introduced the Jagged Alliance with the same logo as the Dark Yor who were already present in the game. have a save game if you want to have a look. evil

firstly performance on my PM 1GZ, 512RAM, INTEL 852/855 GM/GME much quicker - nice! in order to play previous versions i had autosave, software cursor, and point sprites disabled. i can play with autosave and point sprites enabled, but the software cursor appears to still occasionally crash the video driver? fyi. lemme know if you want a debug.err evil

merge galactic resources with non-expanding minor races, so that an exclusive alliance with this race gives you the galactic wide %bonus. this makes this exclusive alliance a tradeable commodity/flashpoint for war. also if a major race invades and destroys the minor race, the galactic resource is lost. shall i gain a planet or gain a resource?

link political parties to % breakdown of spend - move outside the spend = morale problems, loss of election, new party, with new spend % ie the politics changes to the way you are playing (no penalties in losing the election, just the penalty of having to play with the new spend criteria) examining spreadsheet increases vs build increases - what i mean is that if you research the life support techs you get an increase in range without having to build life support on any of your ships. o

The aI will pay more for 'older' techs that have associated bonuses such as + production, + economy, + research, etc. than it will for the next tech up that does not have a bonus. ah, that makes some sense. thanks for the heads up

If you get Planetary Bombardment but not Planetary Invasion, can you build troop transports? The above makes sense if the answer to my question is 'no'. the problem is i can get to/trade for advanced troop modules with the AI still holding out on basic troop modules/planetary invasion.

yep, ai still has glitches in this area - it's been tidied up a fair bit from DL to DA, but still around eg planetary bombardment less valuable than planetary invasion. i'm sure there are others...

i'm having the same problem (intel extreme 2 chipset) - try going to hardware cursor, turning autosave off, using your touchpad (ie not an external usb mouse), and playing small galaxies. hopefully, you'll get a game or so, while it's being investigated. don't forget to save! lemme know if it helps at all.

sorry, this is late, but i was having troubles with my ancient intel extreme II grafix driver. grafix: constant crashes on the intel extreme 2 integrated graphics (which worked fine with GC2 apart from some tiny glitches). i've reported this already, but just in case it's still a prob - what made the crashes go from every turn to every 5-10 turns was: turning the frame throttle off, downloading latest iteration of directx9c, turning auto-save off. the crashes 'seemed' to be something to

to clear up the patch issue - SR2 1.3 US/English is prefectly playable and practically bug-free. the last russian patch (1.5 or 1.6 or somesuch)has not been translated, but it really only had some minor tweaks, fixed a couple of tiny bugs, and a couple more missions. so don't let some patch frenzy stop you from buying this excellent game. even my dad loved it.
