I suppose with "bugs" you actually mean the Cordi (an alien, insectoid race in WoD) and not glitches and error right?
At least I didn't encounter any programm bugs on any of my playthroughs.

Yes, I meant the Cordi ;)
Though I did bump into a bug (not spoons' fault) on my travels, you can see the result of that in one of the videos!

Medium I'm afraid, 'cept one mission which is on very easy because I couldn't be arsed after I worked out how to do it..

I think most of them, if not all of them are doable on hard, but frankly a few of them might simply not be possible on insane, it sort of depends on the AI tables which I haven't looked at..

it is possible even I did it  ;7...
.... with lots and lots of retries during months.  :mad:
okay well, that's probably the only cool thing i did on FS ever so lemme brag about it... *flies out of the room*

(Back to ontopic discussion)
What was the mission you played on Very Easy?
O and btw! Did you take -W or -E ?
..... when i think about it maybe i'd better just watch it and see myself... D:

Very easy was "Stage 2", mostly because I was so pissed off with it by the time I worked out you have to kill the Zy dudes before they kill the other Zy dudes I couldn't be bothered to swap back to medium for the video lol..
Ironically, it was my second attempt on v.easy.

I'm impressed if you did it on insane, truly impressed.

QuantumDelta, you should post a playthrough of Procyon Insurgency on Insane, getting every single bonus point.  That would be truly impressive. :)

Hmmm...
Question is, how to make it work with .12 mvps :<

In fact, I can't get it to work at all x_x

What, PI ?

Last time I tried, it worked perfectly on .12 MVPs, with a .13 nightly.

Me being me, I jumped on this challenge, then, I realised the first mission is a 10-15 minute escort ordeal through an asteroid field where you realistically have to fly a horus and it just makes me want to find CP and cut out his brain to see what's wrong with it.

Now you see why I gave him his custom title. :D

Speaking of which, are you continuing with your PI longplay? Is the whole campaign problem free on newer builds?

I don't see what's wrong with the Horus and escort missions. And that mission is pretty straightforward compared to what's next.

I am starlord, and it is so long as you use the fixes (from Zacam) in the thread that I made in the support forum.

Matth; I like getting involved in fighting, if you watch the playthroughs at the mo, most of them are just treb abuse and 'roid shooting :<
I hate escort missions as a rule, because they are almost always one of two things; boring or overtuned, never in the middle. And ones with rocks in are worse.

I am continuing with it, and if you have trouble with your PI the fixes are in the support forum.



Although I am firmly convinced mission 4 isn't possible on insane.

oh no worries! I haven't started PI yet! I just wanted to know whether you ran yourself into problems!
Title: Re: Wings of Dawn playthrough!
Post by: QuantumDelta on February 21, 2011, 04:17:24 pm
I seem to have without knowing it, some files from PI take preference over the MVPs as they should, some don't which might make it much harder than it should be, not entirely sure though..
