i cant load my system (experimental /over 1500 radius.) .it has been patched(upgrade) to not playing on big planet ?? i upgraded my laptop to play/test on bigger planet
It's was limited quite long time ago. **whisper** I'm not sure, but it's probably this limit is still UI only, so probably you can modify UI to load larger planet.
I can play and load experimental planets and I always was able to. so I don't know where you guys getting these issues infos.
i was also able to load experimental planets 2 days ago but now i cant click on "LOAD" just not activated plase see attachment below
lol Load the system with the planet not the planet only and it will work that's how im always playing
it was the way how i was playing with experimental beleive me it was working unfortunately your playing style doesnt work too
for those of you who want to play on bigger planet than 1200m ,just change 1200m to any number you want in load_planet.js(Uber Entertainment\Planetary Annihilation\PA\media\ui\alpha\load_planet) original code in load_planet.js : if (!planet || planet.radius > 1200
what's the reason for disabling it ? its beta and we are testing the game anyway no ? those who cant load them wont load them anyway......
Guess it can be bc lets say a player make a mega map with alot of planets like that and then invite som new first time player to his game at random and suddenly the map starts to lag extremly mutch so after a wile the new players rage quits. And then they are all heading to the forum at the same time and starts to make threads about how this game is bugd,sux, and lagy.
There is many reasons: If your computer have 16GB of RAM it's don't mean that server have 16GB of RAM for each of 8 games. So one "way too large" game might decrease performance on every other game on same server. When player join game his computer will start generate planet immediately and people with low-end PCs will just out of memory and freeze/crash. So please don't abuse it or in next release it's will be hardcoded like player limit.
Trust me, there is many reasons why you don't want them to release it soon. PA is client-server game and direct access to all crash dumps and logs in fully standardized environment allow devs to fix crashes much more efficiently. Some players will as well will start to play outdated versions of game and it's will make bug tracking way more harder.
Even the games vs AI are handled by the server. Currently any game you play is handled by the server.
