Ok.. it worked.. but when i choose none again it doesnt switch back to public when I launch the game. :s
if you want pte, keep the option in pte, if you want the main version just switch the option. (restart steam if doesn't work)
Still getting the bug where the commander banner screen pops up before a match, and then never progresses (you get permanently stuck there, only way to get out of the screen is to quit the game).
I can't wait to SEE what's next. I hope you're planning to support this game well after release, and I hope there's a market justification for that as well!
Okay, I finished a match on this build, and here's my report: - I tested this match with one earth planet and I lagged when zooming in on where the commander spawned. - I still stare at the system when I start a match. - Default commander in game lobby is Theta (my default commander in the background is Invictus). - Display name (Steam name) and Uber username keep alternating in main menu. (Uber Launcher only) - I got random black flashing (parts of the screen) when all settings are on max. It goes away when I leave some settings below max. (AO, Headlights, Shadows, etc.) - Inferno's flamethrower doesn't burn down trees. (Neither does artillery) - AI is not really expanding much. It just builds a few metal extractors/generators and that is it. (Econ level: 0.5) - Some stuttering occurred after I blew up the enemy commander. - Planets made in the system editor randomly renamed themselves (in both SE and in-game).
Just been trying out the current build, I don't know if it's me or not but I'm having difficulty in setting up a patrol on a gas planet. I've found that I had to be at a certain zoom before I could tell my Avenger\s to do a patrol and then telling an orbital launcher\orbital factory to do a patrol on 1 doesn't work - no matter how far I zoomed in or out of the gas planet. I can do the above easily on any of the other planets other than a gas planet for some reason. I done the above with no mods enabled.
Is something wrong with the servers? Tried two games and they both had moments where they froze everyone for a minute or so before carrying on, even near the beginning when there wasn't that many units. In the first game i ended up loosing the connection at the end of a long freeze and in the 2nd one i quit after a super long freeze which wasn't going to resolve itself i think. There were a fair few units in that game, though only one planet. In fact the sim suffered a lot and made the game too slow to really enjoy in the 2nd game. Somewhere I saw Garat was quoted saying a server has 8 cores and deals with 8 games? So one core per game? Or two if there is hyper-threading? If that is right, isn't that quite low power-wise? So one game running on a modern i7 should run a lot faster right? (thinking of when we can run our own games)
Whoooooo congratulations uber! I still find it hard to believe that you guys built all of this from scratch with relatively limited time and funding (at least from the beginning, not sure how many additional copies it sold after).
Congratulations with getting this game releases in such a short time with this much awesomenes in it!! Devs, you rock!! It was a blast following this project from the start. I've even learned a lot of new things about software development by reading your posts!! Thanks Uber!! Now only some bugs to squash before the official release and I very much look forward for what is coming next!!!
Woot! Middle click to move the camera is fixed. Now I need to reconfigure all of my keyboard shortcuts...

Just played a game with my friend against 6 AIs (2vs2vs2vs2) Had a blue-ish screen when clicking on a notification which required a client restart. Sim performance got worse and worse as the game went on until it was at around 0.5 to 2.5 fps. Game came to a standstill for a minute or so when engaging the moon: The metal planet we tried to shoot was on an elliptical orbit. One of the reasons for the bad performance may have been this most of the time not working teleporter that the AI tried to use: I think one of the AIs was destroyed between pic 1 and 2 so this may have helped too. After that the performance was really good which was really an improvement compared to the older builds. The crater on the metal planet was just cosmetical: At the end a nuke was flinging and the controller for the chronocam was located in the middle instead of the end. Had a crash because of a double free when using chronocam: *** Error in `/opt/Planetary Annihilation/stable/PA': double free or corruption (!prev): 0x00007fe5986f7610 *** Reconnect after this crash worked. I then quit PA and restarted it a few minutes later. It still showed me the reconnect option, however the client froze when I tried to reconnect again. Still fails to load my own replays.
Yeah, not sure, but no it wasn't the servers. Same exact people providing same exact servers, its the same service, but technically they became sovereign from Uber Ent a while ago. Seems Uber is a very enterprising place, building all these cool things and releasing them into the wild for mass use in and of itself. For instance, Loadout uses Playfab, been doing so since it has been Uberent from what I know. Not sure why sim would change, it should be getting better, but there are always quirks, perhaps another game was acting up on same machine hosting yours and that caused it, although 3 times in a row is a heck a coincidence.
Somewhat bad sim FPS. It got as low as 2.9, but I didn't snap a shot of that. The pictures show ~1/3 of the total units in game--not very many.
When I was playing stable a couple hours ago the nuke ammo still displayed the old cost. Not sure if it's just a display error though.
i have to report decreased performance, although it seemed better on PTE. Dunno what happened here. maybe its the servers...
