Masters of the Broken World (Eador 2)

[Raghar]

I have never seen anything as bad as this.

I think it's because of my i7-3770k, I have read that the high number of threads give such lockup problems to some games.

You can try this benchmark. Don't forget to post results and temperatures. (Also you need to run all cmd for proper testing.)
If you will not have the same problem with this benchmark, it's likely theirs programming.

 

[Humanity has risen!]

I did read that there was a similar problem with Bioshock Infinite. I would never guess that getting the most high end affordable CPU on the market would result in such headaches.

Wow, it started displaying a black screen every time I start the game, and then a complete system lock up AGAIN. What a complete piece of garbage.

Tried disabling Data Execution prevention on the executable?

The game was made in the unity engine. You might be able to find answers in the unity forum.

Who told you that?

It is made in engine previously used in Real Warfare games.

To be honest its just an educated guess. It looks like a unity game and most telling of all the start up/option screen is exactly the same as the defualt one in unity.
Guess it's just a a coincidence and im wrong though.

I see the music bug is still not fixed.

 

[felipepepe]

Except the AI being completely fucking broken and retarded? Or being able to magically garrison hordes of troops into a province turn after turn with no delay whatsoever? And apparently having infinite gold, able to revive and summon heroes and full armies every turn you siege them? Or AI turns taking extremely long periods of time, leading to 2-3 minute waits every turn in larger games?

There are a LOT of random bugs out there as well. Like heroes or units not getting the correct promotions, certain events freezing the game, the arena event being un-skippable, and so on. Many of them don't happen reliably but it just seems like the engine in general is unstable.

[betamin]

The tactical AI is bugged? I was thinking about getting this but that's a deal breaker.

 

[Technoviking]

Did the AI turns get any faster in this last patch? That's basically the major issue I've had with the game so far.

This is just as tiresome outside of GD as HHR's own shtick, especially when he's not even doing it. Cut it out.

If it bothers you (fairly understandable), report it and have a mod tell me to.
I don't know wtf makes you think im going to listen to a random 'cut it out'.

Maybe because it makes sense and Jimbob is a nice guy?

 

[Angthoron]

Do I need to start a new campaign for karma to get carried over to world map, or does it just accumulate slowly?

A new update (1.0.8) will be available in a few hours.

Improvements:

— Turn resolution code has been optimized, resulting in speed improvement during AI turns.
— Better support for scalable interface windows.
— Provinces under AI control will now trigger random events just like the player’s provinces do.
— Maximum zoom level on strategic map has been increased a little; the camera can be brought closer to the ground level now.
— AI construction decisions have been improved.

Fixes:

— Fixed an error with the body of a slain hero taking too long to be delivered to the stronghold.
— Fixed an error with AI heroes’ level computation, resulting in AI heroes gaining levels too fast.
— Fixed an error causing the AI to engage into battles with hopeless odds of victory.
— Fixed an error causing the AI to ignore the construction limits, such as constructing 5 first tier military buildings instead of 4.
— Fixed an error causing the AI to spend too many resources on mercenaries.
— Fixed an error in construction window, when clicking to select the Great Temples set of buildings caused selection of the Matter Transmutation set instead.
— Fixed an error with unlocking the “Viva la Revolucion!” achievement.
— Fixed an error where the unit selected in the garrison window sometimes could not be deselected and dropped from cursor, resulting in the game getting stuck in the garrison window.
— Fixed a misguiding tooltip on the bottom panel button in the citadel interface.
— Fixed a tactical combat interface error with ending turn while a spell is selected.
— Fixed an error with a medal being awarded after winning a shard for conquering every province therein.
— Fixed erroneous display of access conditions for the third foreign quarter building of lizardmen allies.

 

[Berekän]

— Turn resolution code has been optimized, resulting in speed improvement during AI turns.

Fixes:

— Fixed an error with AI heroes’ level computation, resulting in AI heroes gaining levels too fast.

Fucking finally, time to start playing again.

 

[Technoviking]

— Turn resolution code has been optimized, resulting in speed improvement during AI turns.

— Fixed an error causing the AI to engage into battles with hopeless odds of victory.

The first one is great, especially if the difference is quite noticeable.

Hopefully the second one will result in the AI having an easier time of 'breaking out' on some maps.

 

[J_C]

The music bug is still not fixed. Fuuuuuuuu.... I'm starting to think that it is not a bug, but a feature. The game mixes up the music deliberately.

 

[subotaiy]

So, any impressions after the last patch regarding the AI turn duration? Is the game playable now or should i stick to Genesis?

 

[DakaSha]

honestly my advice is the stick to genesis for another 4 months or so.
I keep thinking the game is fine, then i read the patchlogs and realize even more was broken then i thought.

I am confident that they are gonna make it good though. so far they seem quite comitted
