Morning all! Just played my first couple of game, so posting my play notes in the hope that might be of use somehow. Overall it's very buggy and slow, but I'm sure it will be fantastic once all the glitches are ironed out! Running on - Windows Vista 64 bit, Intel Quad Core 2 Q9550 @ 2.83GHz, 8Gb RAM, NVidia GeForce GTS 250. Game 1 - Started okay. Kicked off an energy unit, some metal extractors, then some storage. Added some towers to the queue and suddenly wondered where my commander had vanished to. Found him wandering off to a point down south (that I hadn't set), after which he returned, carried on for a short while, the the sprite completely vanished! Here was still there on the map though. I tried clicking on him and giving him new orders, but eventually I got a PA.exe error and it crashed out. Windows was complaining about not enough memory. I reconnected, it reconnected me to the game, presumable replayed my early steps (I was making coffee!), then the commander locked up, couldn't do anything else. Quit the game. Game 2 - Immediately after starting I get a windows error "your computer is low on memory. Save your files and close these programs: PA.exe. Cancelled this, game continued. Managed to build a metal extractor, energy unit, vehicle factory and bot factory. Clicked to build a scutter and got a windows error "Coherent UO - A Modern User Interface Library for Games has stopped working". The game continued and my scutter was built but I've lost any ability to click anything! or escape out! Closed the program. Reconnected, it's just my commander, and the game has frozen. I can click to create a unit but it's just sat there. No, wait, it just paused for a long time, now has built my first unit, and now it's building my original units from first session again! After this, I was clicking to build more land vehicles, and an airbase, but nothing was happening. Then I clicked close instead of maximise, that def. needs an "are you sure?" !! Reconnected, back to just my commander again. Did nothing this time, and it replayed my original steps, plus all the additional units, and now I can build more stuff! Building up an army of everything, it's all working fine now. Getting lots of units and buildings built. The icons for naval units are very off though - about 10x the size of the other icons, and grey with black outlines, instead of purple with black outlines. And I just heard a big explosion for no reason - maybe one of my enemies just died? Okay first battle, and about ten of my units (spinners and ants) are selected but won't move. But the rest steamed in there and fought to the death! These units are firing when enemies come into range... they are firing at one enemy, but the enemy next to him lost power and blew up first! Still can't get them to move. I've also got one unit way down south that's got the same problem. Continued fighting, building more units, rebuilding my base. I couldn't build more than one of any factory, it seemed, and the game was getting slower and slower. Found an enemy next door to me, moved into position, and the game just vanished with no crash error. Reconnected... and I'm back to the beginning! The timeline says 0 of 70 mins, but I can't move to 70 mins, only watch in fast-motion as it replays my game for me! And my orientation is different, I note. How can I rotate?! Now I've caught up, my army was wiped out whilst I was catching up, closed the timeline bar, and boom went my commander as enemy troops closed in! Then I got a PA.exe error and it closed on me. And that's me out for now, I'll probably play some more tomorrow!
