[quote]It wasn't literal what I said.... "If this game is so good, why isn't it released for Ubuntu or Linux in general?"But Really a lot of people can't hardly play games on their windows computers because they are so jacked up. Viruses, stupid security holes, and general bloatware. Windows xp and vista are surprisingly slow. Ubuntu is much more efficient and easy to use. What I ask is for big companies like stardock to help move the masses to Linux. Why support the badly made operating s

[quote]The only pain I could see with this updating process would be for those who do not have a legitimate copy of the game. It took me 4 minutes today to register, confirm the email, login, and download the latest update. No problems here.Are you seriously proposing a WoW solution of a 125 MB patch every week or two?As far as I can tell the game is solid. I'm on board with Ironclad and Stardock.Well, the website was acting up on the weekend. When I tried to update, it kept telling me that I

[quote]With no plot or storyline to follow, there is only one reason to play single player: you just bought the game and have no idea yet how anything works.Because playing with whining, socially retarded ADHD competitive whiners like you is clearly a superior experience.Last time I checked, the AIs weren't as annoying as you.[/quote] Really couldn't have said it any better than you.

Is this really worth this many tears? Omg I had to click update, then save as, then I had to run the executable. What a tragic and horrible ordeal!! I'm actually shocked I had to use a DVD or download anything to install this game? Can't it just appear on my computer and then start itself when I look at it? For shame Stardock, for SHAME. Hopefully in patch 1.1 they will be able to address some of these grievous and pressing issues. I am now starting a h

[quote]If this game is so good, why isn't it released for Ubuntu or Linux in general? Hello stardock. Can you please release this game for Linux? Thanks![/quote] It never fails, game is released, basement dwellers start asking for a Linux port. Just dual boot to the Windows OS you have on your machine and stop crying. You know you have one so why post this idiot tripe in the first place. Stupid hippies.

I'll give it a shot and post results.

[quote]You can make them jump all at the same time by right clicking that green arrow on the bottom when you select your fleet. Then you should see three green arrows which is how you set them to jump simultaneously.Yeah I tried that and they still get bunched sometimes. Here is what happens. Sometimes they spread out along the edge of the well and it works awesome other times it's hit or miss like the above.[/quote] Ah, I see. Out of curiosity, does that improve when you resea

[quote]Could you possibly put a few more smileys into your post so it's easier to read?No It's a very complex formula that defines the ratio of smileys to words![/quote] lol :)

Could you :p possibly :p put a few :p more :p smileys into :p your :p post :p so it's :p easier :p to :p read? :p

PIRATE HAXXX@!!! I just type to the pirates - Where is JACK SPARROW and my BLACK PEARL then I yell ARRRRGH really loud at the screen. Seems to help deter them until my secondary fleet arrives.

Kangaroos are very slow at delivering software.

It might be RAM related, I am running G-Skill DDR3 1600 RAM, which is blistering fast.

I'm running 100% stock, no mods.

Are you running Vista or Xp? I have a dual boot Vista Ultimate 64 and XP 64 Professional. I seem to get minidumps under Vista but not under XP. Dunno if that's what you are encountering...

Just had a massive battle, large star system, three way battle with Pink and Dark blue - complete mayhem. Not a single blip or slowdown.

I decided to stick around when I got insulted, also I'm bored at work. Will you be my e-friend?

[quote]They cranked something up in the 1.04 patch that causes a machine to 'work more' and it is using more processor/ram/video to do it. That's what happens when you tweak the AI and it starts putting up more of a fight. Now when those super huge battles take place and there are a ton of calculations taking place, your machine isn't up to the task...That makes it the software's problem, you moron.[/quote] No, they met customer demand for 'better AI' which puts the game at a higher t

I set the bar high.

Yes it must be my mistake. Your two year old machine (and the average life expectancy for a PC to still be considered 'current' is three years) is sure to be able to render anything and everything you throw at it. Heck, run Sins in windowed mode while playing Crysis at max settings! :) I'm done with this thread, if your machine can't handle something, it just can't handle something. Don't shoot me, the messenger. They cranked something up in the 1.04 patch that causes a m

Honestly, with a 256mb graphics card, some slowdowns with massive battles should probably be reasonably expected. I'm not going to press the issue anymore, but I have a 768mb DDR3 graphics card and haven't ever seen a hiccup with this game. Granted not everyone can have 'state of the art' hardware, but I'm just saying that a 2 year old rig with a fairly dated graphics card having issues isn't really 'the games fault' in my opinion. -Peace

send me your save file, if I run it without issue on my machine without a slowdown, then it's your machine. :)

machine specs?

The game could handle it, your computer could not. Not trying to be snotty, but it's your computer that isn't up to the task, not the software. I've never experienced a slowdown in this game at any stage and I've been playing on Large fleets and have had some truly epic battles.

While paused, and you issue commands, it'd be nice and helpful to see those commands queued up, movement locations plotted, etc.. That would really help with pausing the action and issuing commands when needed. Anyone else like to see this change? Right now, while paused, I feel 'blind' and just hope I am precise in my directives for when I do unpause the game to carry on with my conquest.
