Escalation graphics - elements missing, showing as black [Solved] in Ashes Bugs and Ideas AshesoftheSingularity Forums

Many small parts of objects are missing and therefore appear as pure black. This includes top rotating part of Nexus; rotating part of Constable (except the lights appear); base of Smarties; several other things. Windows sometimes reports low memory when starting the game but there's not a direct correlation with that and the graphics glitch. This glitch at first appeared intermittently but now always happens. It does not occur in the base game Ashes.

Reply to AMD vs Nvidia display in-game issues in Ashes of the Singularity AshesoftheSingularity Forums

Windows 10 Pro 64-bit; 8GB RAM. NVidia GTX 770 w 4GB. Latest (Oct 28) WHQL drivers v375.70. Running Escalation through Steam. In both the default DX12 and "safe" DX11 mode, some graphics elements are missing and therefore show as pure black. The most obvious is the rotating top of the Nexus. This did not happen in non-Escalation AotS DX11. Edit: Other parts that are black: vanes on metal extractor; rotating part of Constable (except ligh

Reply to Add 'Terrain & Units' ie full-view option at least in skirmishes in Ashes Bugs and Ideas AshesoftheSingularity Forums

Those are ideas... never thought of the 2v2. But I'll leave my request for "Show Terrian & Units" standing because: 1) I'll learn better watching the enemy AI develop on a map I know from 1v1 play. 2) Having this view essentially adds both a full tutorial level and a full difficulty adjustment to the Single Player skirmishes. Meaning, not only can I learn from the view, but I can also tune difficulty more finely. Example: right now on Knife Fight

Add 'Terrain & Units' ie full-view option at least in skirmishes in Ashes Bugs and Ideas AshesoftheSingularity Forums

Noob here would really like to see how the AI wins. Playing skirmishes like "Knife Fight" on Normal the enemy develops twice as fast as I can. There is a "Terrain visible" option which helps, but I want "Terrain & Units visible" ie full view. Thanks

Reply to November Ashes Mega Diary in Escalation Dev Journals AshesoftheSingularity Forums

I'm very happy with my recent Ashes purchase and that's even before seeing Escalation. You guys have created an amazing engine and an excellent game. I do have a couple UI betterments (IMHO) which I'll post elsewhere, but clearly this game is evolving and you're listening to your users. The really encouraging thing - besides the stunning technology - is your engagement with your community, frankness and depth of communication. I look forward to a long a

Thank you for this!

Thank you!! I was missing quite a few useful things.

In-game tips very brief - are texts available? in Ashes of the Singularity AshesoftheSingularity Forums

Right when each mission starts (in the SP campaign) there is a very brief bit of advice. This disappears so quickly that I usually can't read it and never can remember what it said. But it always looks valuable i.e. something I didn't already know. Are these advice texts available somewhere in a collection? That would be great. Thanks

Let me "Keep on playing" ! in Ashes Bugs and Ideas AshesoftheSingularity Forums

Still a noob and playing at "easiest possible unless you want the Substrate to just surrender at the beginning". When I win in the SP skirmishes, there's a "Keep on playing" option. But in Campaign there isn't. I *always* want that option because (1) I really enjoy kicking ash when I finally get to do it and (2) It's a great opportunity to experiment with and learn about units and capabilities. So I would say, even if the enemy Nexus is gone and I have

OK, thanks. The 'problem' bit went in one ear and out the other.

Why can't I create some units? in Ashes of the Singularity AshesoftheSingularity Forums

On Falnass I desperately want to build Smarties, but they are never available. That's puzzling since they aren't high level units and I think they appeared in every previous map. This seems like an arbitrary deletion, maybe done to balance the sceneario somehow. But it is frustrating, partly because it seems to make no sense and partly because there seems to be no good substitute. Thanks!

What and where to buy? in Ashes of the Singularity AshesoftheSingularity Forums

OK, I'm convinced and ready to buy Ashes. But I'm not certain of the best way to do this. Please correct anything I've got wrong here... It looks like I can pre-order Escalation for $30, and get the full game with the Escalation DLC. The previous DLCs will add on properly if I buy them. I have a Steam account but sort of hoped there might be an independent alternative. When I look at the Escala
