I give up! Damn Access Violations are just too numerous to bother trying to continue. Every time I get a little infrastructure going and start to move on an AI, I get an AV error.

Maybe I’ll drag out an old system and see if it does better with less resources to abuse.


On another front, the Game runs on Vista. I had some issues with the 7800 video driver, it over fills the monitor and prevents mouse access to the window edges. I had to use the default driver and safe mode on the memory. I haven’t played it enough yet to see what kind of errors pop up.

The demo will be updated when the game is released, so that should help with the bugginess of the current demo.

I'm always surprised reading about crashes, graphical glitches, and show-stopping bugs. I haven't had a single problem at all. *shrugs*

With the exception of game crashes with combats involvolving large number of top technology fighter I had no technical problems either.

Same question for you, what environment are you running it under?

System specs

Video card and driver version


I’ve tried it on three systems now and get the same memory errors on the two XP systems, and a lock up on the Vista system. The Vista problems seem to be Video driver of DX related, but on the XP systems it looks like sloppy code. I’m thinking that I might try it on an old 845 Intel system and see how it does there.

I'm with Thermodyne - I get a lot of crashes as well with the demo.

Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2
Asus Pentium-4 2.8GHz motherboard
1 GB of RAM
NVidia Geforce 6200 OC 256MB AGP graphics card
-drivers version 6.14.10.9131 (I think)
-Forceware (??) version 91.31
DirectX 9.0c
SiS on-board sound chip (piece of crap)
30GB and 120GB hard drives
plus CD burner, DVD burner, joystick, and pimptastic case with extra fans and flashy LEDs

I used to keep up with the various Windows Automatic Updates until a few months ago, when it tried to install some "anti-piracy" junk. I had to do a System Restore to get rid of it, and have since turned the Auto-Update off.
