Not a large article.

Did someone mention Thief?

I also take the position that some form of protection for intellectual copyright must exist, but when it takes the current shape where it is much more annoying to use legal software than cracked, where there are more problems with store-bought than with downloaded, then there is a problem somewhere.

Just posting to say that there's flame throwers in Aftermath. Really nice weapon selection in this game, keep finding new fun things.

And since Apolyton seems tobe working right again, I can post some screen shots now.

Here's a screenshot form the tactical combat. I just blew a hole in the wall with a grenade, and encountered an enemy as I was going through. As you can see, the soldier behind the wall and the one highlighted behind the tree are ducking out from cover to fire while the third is running in to join the action.

I'll see if I can some some more that don't have any aliens or spoliers in them.

I think im nearing the End I think . (though only 27 bases)



There are only two things in Southern Africa:
Biomass and G11's

i've tried it at a friends place.

once you get turn off the "directors cut" camera swings past every alien that you detect and turn off some of the auto-pauses (it's really annoying when you move your team of 7 together and every one of them acknowledges that he/she is ready for new orders... you'll have to click 7 times on "continue".

also some other UI things are annoying. e.g. if you move a group and then fire, they'll all wait until every one of them is in position (even if that one is extremely slow and has to walk around the team), before they start firing.

and also annoying is, when you set your group to fire at something and one of em can't hit the target, the focus will go on him... so your CTRL-a-ing (=select all) the whole time.. but then CTRL and move the mouse means some camera swings...

unfortunatly, difficulty level is set to 'hard' by default. and you have to edit the config file for easier levels..

it's still hasn't had the impact on me i got in enemy unknown, but once you get used to these things it's really enjoyable!

Tsk tsk, moving your people in groups? The only time I ever done group commands is when I've scouted out a clear path to a mission objective. You'll regret moving your soldiers around in a clump when you encounter tougher enemies.

It's on easy by default and you have the choice to set it when making a new game.

Maybe he has a badly pirated version.

Some players over in the UK are zooming that camera in more while playing.

It will be here soon!

Mutants are perhaps running around this Planet, now!

And what is behind the secret military base doors:

And who is this Arrnnooolld from Germany in the game.

[DrSpike]

Well I've got the game now, but there is a problem with the textures. After browsing forums it seems my graphics card is amongst several with which there are problems.

[Raion]

I have an old GeForce 2 MX/MX400 type card, I think that will work. Tis a shame that even built-in computer video cards, sometimes do not work for games either.
May try it though, or update the drivers if you can.

[DrSpike]

I've done all the usual fixes. It's not the age of the card anyway, it's just there seem to be issues with some slightly less popular cards. Hopefully there will be a fix out soon, since I've seen noone with my card post to say it works for them.

[Raion]

Well!

The game will work with a 500mH machine, 16mB at least GeForce Type 2 card, and such, but it sure will run better, with better figures for a computer.

shame!

If from UK, then patch is for that version.
Probably knew that already!

I still need a newer video card.
I still using PCI type card, and that should work.

Although, now I can get an AGP card.

I think some issues with the AGP cards can be fixed by changing some of the settings, but right now, all I can advise is the other forum mentioned, or the Support sections of those places - like the main thread place from the Altar forum.

Although I do not know if that is allowed, and since I have to wait a little before getting the game.
I usually would not post links like that, but Support is there for the game.

Unlike another recent game, from a galaxy, near everyone!
MOO!
Back to looking at the pictures, since nothing else, and:

Don't step into something!
Don't get hurt!

[DrSpike]

I've been browsing those forums. They are where I found out that others with my card have the same problem as I.

This will not be fixed easily I think.
