Building hyperions from nexus and other bugs.

Building hyperions from nexus and other bugs.

from AshesoftheSingularity Forums

I wrote a mildly scathing review of this game on steam just from annoyance from the sheer number of bugs / crashes that occur in this game.

But I decided to be mildly helpful. Here are a few of the bugs with instructions.

Hyperion Building

I can build hyperions out of a few other buildings. Its perhaps only for units that have the same hotkey. It might be more severe.

 Hyperion power

Double Casting of spells

Not sure if you would count this as a bug, as I can't do it if i dont have enough magic. But i do.

Double Cast

 

Not capturing waypoints

Dont have instructions. I sat there for a little while. It didn't start cancelling itself out. 

NoNode4u

 

Hotkey Icons Remain after reusing hotkey

Annoying when you want to group different units over multiple hotkeys and you think some are already grouped. When they arent.

Note: Bonus addition of a completed Hyperion coming out of a nexus!

HotkeyBasics

 

On the topic of hotkeys.

I bind the nexus to 0. I never change it, i never go near 0 again beyond default selection so i can build more engineers (sometimes it just gets unassigned. I'm not sure if there is a button that does that? surely there must be and i'm just accidentally doing it and i just haven't noticed it??? -  as its either that or it just unassigns itself for fun. As maybe one in 5 games. The hotkey disappears. It is so irritating.

 

Fun graphic bugs

This has only happened once. But i thought it was funny when i was doing a bug list.

BgDisplay

Also, i had an r7 250 previously. The error screen on the game startup when using that graphics card is almost windows 95 quality in the error display.

 

Final word.

I've had an enourmous number of game crashes. This is very irritating in multiplayer. I had a multiplayer game where it would take 30 seconds before a command that you issued would be acted upon. Simply unplayable. Simply takes the fun out of it.

 

 

Also, can we have a faster speed in multiplayer. Normal is very slow.

I was stupid enough to play a game today.

 

Game Sync Bug Again + Map not updating

Game starts. Nothing moves. It was taking 9 seconds between giving a unit an action, and when the command was executed. Obviously capturing multiple starting nodes becomes impossible. Doing anything of value is near impossible. Units just sit in the factory at 100% complete, then magically appear at their rally point a few screens away.

Some army units weren't moving even after being given orders (and waiting beyond 30 seconds). (particularly the brutes/archers on the right hand side sitting in the middle of nothing)

Even worse, the game map wasn't even updating. Apparently i HAD captured the one on the right just above the blue dots, (my opponent told me i had). And he obviously had the one at the bottom.

Completely. And utterly unplayable to any real degree. 

Its stuff like this that really annoys me. 


 

Greetings everyone.

Peter, I was your opponent in that game, and I remember it clearly. The game was fine for me - no noticeable lag or any bugs that could slow me down. I remember you saying how awful it was for you, though. And I could definitely see it was true, because we've played before and you are a much better player than you were in that game. Still, since it was a ranked game, I had to keep playing my best...

I've been recording all my games lately, so I can post some of them on my youtube channel. Unfortunately, I have deleted this particular one, exactly because it was an unfair game, so I didn't think it was worth a watch. Maybe I should have kept it as a "proof" of the bug/lag. If it happens again, I'll keep the game and post it.

I have also suffered from major lag in a few games, which made them totally unplayable.

Another thing that has happened to me a few times was that I was playing the game normally and, all of a sudden, I get a message saying my opponent disconnected. When I checked my game history and rating, though, I got the loss!!! This has happened maybe 4 or 5 times, I can't remember. And it can be very upsetting.

Game Sync Bug Again + Map not updating



Is that a bug? All those things you describe could potentially be ascribed to lag. The ranked games our global so you could be playing some with a poor connection in Brazil or China etc. I am not saying it couldn't be handled better, especially the start, but I think it is a very real possibility they really could all be from lag and dropped packages. (referring just to post above).

Well, I am indeed playing from Brazil, but I have a pretty good and stable connection. I've played tons of different multiplayer games and do all sorts of activities on the internet, and usually everything works well. Still, if my location has anything to do with it, maybe the devs can look into it and solve the problem.

 

See you guys in-game!

Cheers!
