They have arrived but they seem to crash on startup?

I don't seem to be able to get past the first load screen without an error and minidump. Is anyone else getting this?

Firs thing i noticed - sorry to nitpick, but i cant help it - those six exclusive techs at the bottom of subfaction selection screen for Vasari Loyalists still include "Vorastra Dark Fleet", which obviously is not there anymore. Now i am not sure, whether this is on purpose, as indirectly the Titan can still be considered to be the Fleet Beacon, even though the mechanic now works bit different, but i suppose, more likely this was overlooked or left to be fixed in the other updates. In such case, as i already asked before, please use the "Vorastra Dark Fleet" research icon for the "Dark Fleet Beacon" research to distinguish it from the "Returning Armada" tech, which was left for Vasari Rebels.

I thought I would want to be the Varsari Loyalist but I think that you made the Rebels the absalute best of all the factions.

Mine crashes immediately when I try to start it too - instant mini-dump.

Vasari! awesome!! :grin:

 

just more duration on unyielding will? Still not gonna use it >_>

Its annoying because I really like advent rebels and their titan looks awesome, but it doesnt fit my playstyle at all..

This is soooo unfair. VPNing home to download this now.  Now this, Diablo3 and Max Payne 3 - my weekend is already booked. 

 

You guys are cruel masters.

we are not worthy!
