Currently discovering there are still bugs in Sword of the Stars, one of which completely broke a combat fleet's ability to use their weapons and cost me a rather important battle. They started in ceasefire, and even when toggled out they refused to attack the planet unless their weapons were manually fired. Eventually, when an enemy fleet showed up, they wouldn't attack that either.

You'd think this sort of thing would get fixed...

It doesn't. I can't even search for the bug on the forums because the words to search for are "too common" and the developer wiki doesn't even have a list of common bugs and workarounds. What the hell kind of show are they running here?

Not hardly. I was speaking from my original SotS experience back then. I got the complete pack off steam on a whim. (20 bucks; overpriced, but not Kereboros' fault I suspect. Paradox Interactive loves to stupidly overprice everything they sell.) Back with the original version, all was well relatively speaking in that while you might be tempted to murder someone over the art design and inability to automate simpler tasks, there were no showstopping bugs.

Unfortunately, it seems that with the expansions in place there are. And when I put in "fleet will not fire on planet" in the forum search and get told that every single word of it has been rejected as "too common" to search for, even in a group. The Kereboros forums aren't much bigger than HLP. I don't think we even eliminate common terms from search.

Honestly don't know if the devs are the dicks others have made them out to be, and sort of hope not since there's a decent game under the gunk. But it smells funny when this happens and when the tech support forum doesn't seem to list any known issues within the program, just things related to graphical problems.

EDIT: This is getting kind of creepy. Even trying to search Google on the subject leads to nothing. I could Google Search obscure Steel Panthers: World at War bugs and find useful info. (Or at least someone commenting on them, like the perennial artillery assignment no longer working one.)

Watching adywan's ANH edit.

the colour correction and effect tweaks so far are excellent.
some sounds feel a little unnecessary though, such as a beeping in the escape pod
in the end, it was pretty good, using EP3 music for the saber battle was surprisingly sweet

I've just completed the new version of SuperTuxKart. My eyes are doing the shimmy, my hands are aching and my Mac has suddenly slowed down a lot.

While playing, I found a small glitch, probably caused by my playing it for too long. That wall of fire up ahead is not supposed to be there.

I don't want to open a new thread for this - so I'll just ask here because I'm curious about this.

Is it possible to create sunlight-effects like these?

I was given a phone number by a 16-year-old last night.

I'm trying to decide if I should be nauseated.

God rays/Light shafts/Whateverthefrakyouwanttocallthem are not yet implemented in FS. Now that the post-processing code is no longer oozing fail out of its segfaults it shouldn't be too hard.

Thanks, good to know. I always loved these kind of effects and it would really upgrade the feeling when a ship is in front of a star

The term (and it's an actual term!) is crepuscular rays. The More You Know~

See the problem is, there are times where I suspect I am Dekker, but happily married. Wasted opportunities, man.

Please only enable this in nebulas. It makes no goddamn sense to have godrays in regular interstellar space.
