Spring RTS Engine

ZellSF wrote: I only got far in one game, a 1vs1. It was all rather confusing. I had more points when the enemy had tons of tanks in my base. Due to air transports. I have no idea where my fighter patrol magically disappeared. Maybe they shouldn't have patrolled over the enemy defence line.

Yeah most of my games are filled with situations like this.


You send out an army of tanks and you just lose track of it and it dies, and you dont even know where or to what.


My impression of balance is all the teams are very similar, with certain traits on certain units that change them. Aeon have shields on their heavy tanks, Cybran boats can grow legs (and pathfind horribly), UEF gunships can carry tanks with them.


In most of my games so far it has just been a stalemate till T3. Then whoever has the better econ swarms over the other player with titan bots.

Rembear to report bugs and balance problems... otherwise your not helping.

Well. We can't really see any balance problems if we can't figure out what the hell is going on

As for bugs. Well, I could submit a bug that said "the game desynced", but that's not very detailed. At all.

awesome

I got that problem as well raneti and reverted back to 2.0, then a day later I upgraded to 2.7 and everything was fine :S

I can't click on the minimap and have it take me there.. Wtf :/
I also built a galaxy class battleship and suddenly it was gone without explaination.

I thought i'd lost a fleet of cybran destroyers but actually they'd decided to all grow legs and walk really slowly across an island on the way to where they were supposed to be.

I got that problem as well raneti and reverted back to 2.0, then a day later I upgraded to 2.7 and everything was fine :S

now i went back to 2.0 then back up to 2.7, crack and all i get in both ways cracked or not, a GAL exception window and app hang.

Important information









im sixth

My friend had the problem that he installed it on his desktop and it didnt work.
He reinstalled it in C:/program files/blah and it works like a charm :)

Ive been saying it from the start, but here it is again:
supcom live up to the hype. spring mods will be more playable.

i think that this game will be worth buying when it comes out. U can all whine how spring can and will be better but now that we have some devs shifting over to the rewrite don't expect all the new features to just magically appear...

Oh, and Ishach, modesty FTW

Photoshopped LOL...
Six games only... do they take that long?

Hopefully SmuG will be a top clan once SupCom hits the shelves


Course then there'll be PRO and TAG and Gnug to contend with, once all those boys start popping aroung again

these might provide a solution to my problem

I spent more time looking for ranked games than playing them. Games are only 30mins max for a 1v1 in my experience

i finally got to see the exception window
it was saying vertex shading 2.0 required :) i only got 1.4

All the dissers, realize we've been bugsquashing in spring for more then a year now. The spring engine was sketchy as hell when it was first released as well. I remember when it was so unstable the most common way for a game to end in spring was by FAR a platform crash.

Yep :)

I remember day 1 release (jorminkomiko told me about it about half an hour before it went live and everyone got in on the act...)

TBH I might donate $50 to Doctors Without Borders and pirate SupCom, just to make a statement.
