I just tested the halleys and nukes again, Im not getting the explosion effects, or the halley effect, even the nuke doesnt explode, just turns things into wreckage. Am I the only one? Also, ive noticed on the ctrl + p menu, my gpu is using 5gb out of 3 gb weird!
I think it's a combination of server overload and graphical lag. All the animation code is there, we're just not seeing them 80% of the time. I imagine over the next couple of days this will get ironed out and the game will be running a bit smoother.
Okay, thank you. I thought it could be to do with my setup, as I have seen a vid of planets colliding almost perfectly.
I've never seen a halley effect, dunno why. I did notice that with the planet smashing effect, I don't get it when I'm blowing up a fully populated planet (i.e. 500+ units, tons of buildings) I *do* get it when I blow up a small - medium population planet. I get nuke effects 80% of the time... Hopefully all these things will be fixed as optimization alleviates the load on the client (and server).
i build 25 halleys on a moon, i launched the moon, the fire effect stayed behind. i think this is an issue, that must be solved in the future
This is a known thing. The visuals for the Halley are bugged and under developed. Uber has acknowledged this in one of their casts. It will get fixed and improved and when Uber does that, the Halleys will look EPIC. Beta is beta.
