Hi,
I would like to know when the next version (1.06) will be released ?
Did you correct the invincible ennemy bug ?
Why dont you answer (on the forums) about the savegames stored in the windows registry ?
Are you still working on Dawnstar ? We have had no news on development for a while !
Thanks for reply.
Does anyone know how to assign the abilities? When you bring up the abilities and traininng screen (K) I can't figure out how to use the "Plasma Bolt" or the shield, or the training modules.... :(
So, seriously, no one has used an ability?
I found that some Unity games work on my system, and some do not at all (the latest version of Unity has some features which are incompatible).
Before I buy this game, is there ANY demo available to let me know if this game will work or not ?
Considering the absence of reply to my post and the other posts since, it seems that the developers are not reading those posts at all...
Time to get this out of my watch list, then...
How do I get multiplayer to work? My friend and I are having trouble finding games. We've played a number of games together multiplayer, but this one just doesn't seem to work. I've forwarded the ports that I found listed in these forums and still nothing. If it's broken are there plans to fix multiplayer?
Alt+Tabbing screws up the game (in fullscreen), when you get back into the game theres just a crosshair and you can look around, nothing else.
Also issues using the inventory and talents when flying, when I click on something it just exits the menu. Can only equip items and use talents when docked at a station.
Alt switches the view. Just press Alt once you get back in to the game.
So... Am I the only one who has a major problem with the control setup? I know that the dev team might be trying to make it a little more of a challenge, requiring it's players to have a bit more finess to controll the ship, but seriously. Make it more like a fps, where the cursor and the targeting reticle follow, I want a little more direct control. I don't want to have to keep track of where my cursor is at all times so that I can aim properly. The graphics are beautiful, the storyline is intriguing, but this controll setup is just a game breaker for me. Not to mention, it started messing up on me even more then usual once I opened up the inventory, once I exit the inventory/research screen then it opens back up again every time I fire. That is one heck of an issue. Was there not much play testing before this went out to market?
good game just crashes
