Removed: + Support for DirectX levels lower than 90. I wouldnt call it progress by removing useful features. Those of us with older hardware looking for better frame rates could benefit from this feature being added back in a future update.
it seems as if i spoke too soon regarding the heavy rifle. the trick is to fire slow and use it like the scout rifle. however, it should do 31 damage instead of 30, because with damage upp, each shot will only do 33 damage, which doesn't make much of a difference, vs. if it had 31 damage with damage upp, 3 shots would kill someone
Technically against someone with 130 hp, damage upgrade would mean needing 4 instead of 5 hits to kill, but that's a really pathetic advantage. Your idea might be good.
For fucking sake stop that ignorant lying. Direct x8 does not give you any advantage in any way and it was never ever disallowed on any server out their. Stop that pretendious bullshit cause you obviously have no clue what you are talking about. The only reason directx 8 was removed is to piss people off without any logical reason. Its no effort to keep dx8 in the game its doesnt cost anything. You are using stock shaders anyway. Its just a dick move to the community. If empires would look better than episode 2 or left 4 dead 2 I might understand it but it doesnt and the direct x9 version of the game is unreasonalbe slow for no logical reason.
2.31a has been uploaded to: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6615362/empires/empires_client_231a.exe Mayama use -autoconfig or -dxlevel 90 in launch options. All that you said (at least in last post) is true. At the same time it has nothing to do with why it's disabled.
hotfix already? holy shit you guys work fast. i assume a changelog is included in the dl, or can you post what you changed on the forums?
- skills getting blocked after map change - escort having artillery and nukes allowed - crashes on server related to assists - missing textures on escort/mvalley
Whoa, why were the missiles nerfed so badly? Oh and I agree with Mayama, I've watched my avg fps drop since 1.07 till 2.3 and I believe 90 percent of the players use an average computer to play Empires. The new particles are absolutely unnecessary as well. Isn't it possible to just disable the settings in DX8 which are considered "cheating"?
just two things concerning models: 1: the new turret models where done by Smithy 2: the aiming point of the NFHR is still a bit off to the right from the ironsight pin atleast last time i tested after the patch (before 2.31a)
Ok hexi. That sounds fair, but NFHR does 24 damage to grens, due to their 20 percent resist. I'm unsure if I want to change that. Also, dx8 has no cheat stuff, that's dx7.0 Also, wtf? Missiles got more buffs than nerfs. Nukes are better, homing is more useful. Only guided got nerfed, as I can't change the fact that they can be guided as far as you can see.
