What is the fate of this mod with now that Homeworld:Reamstered Collection is due in less than a month????
I'm willing to bet it
a) Depends on how poorly RC will be released.
b) Is still more economical if you already have the old game.
If you preorder before by the 24th of February you get it 15% off on steam. Also the Collection includes both HW1 & HW2 remastered + the originals + access to the multiplayer steam beta (Note it's only beta because they basically had to redo the backbone of multiplayer since Gamespy is now dead, so They're not certain how the originals were set up so We're basically going to pound it and reveal what works and what don't!!)
Plus side, You can play epic Kushan Vs Hiigarns Vs Taiidan Vs Vayger all in the same match!!
I preordered the MOMENT I noticed it. Just about exploded out of joy when I saw it, :D
BUT HWR can possibly run on olders PC (due it's for HW2), and HRC propably won't. We'll see how they solved game mechanics diffrences between game engines
I'm very concerned about it too, since I'm working on this mod I know is easy to mess it up, so I bet they have made some small changes to try balance things up, but I'm sure that the experience is not going to be the same.
Will still prefer this to HRC.Haven't had a chance to download any of the latest demos though.Will try soon...
Game crashes to desktop upon trying to enter single-player mode in this version.
Also, in 1v1 games vs CPU, the AI never seems to want to build frigates or capital ships (unless I build nothing at all), all of its preferred counters seem to be fighters and corvettes, even when resources are a non-issue. Games get monotonous really fast when the CPU player only ever builds minelayer corvettes and attack bombers.
Otherwise I quite like it.
For the singleplayer issue, did you create a new profile for it?, most of the time that is the problem.
Yeah, the Ai has been an issue mostly because the research, if you disable it in the match options you should be able to have a better experience, I'm still working on how to make the AI better, and for that I need more feedback like this, Thanks for your input!
Re: SP - That was indeed the problem, created a new profile and SP works just fine.
hey Krnt i got a problem with loading the game, whenever i click singlep layer to play the first mission all i see is white when it should have switched to the mission and there is no voiced audio in the cinematics.
That is mostly caused by old video drivers that weren't compatible with Glare effect, but that is something I haven't seen happening again in years, I will disable that Glare in the next release, but about the voice on the cinematics issue you are the first and only that has had that, maybe you forgot to turn up the voice volume?.
The AI seems to be broken when deathballs are off. Anyone else getting this?
EDIT: Yeah, screw what I said earlier. The AI just seems to be broken, period. :/ Downgrading to previous version because I like to actually be able to have fun, thankyouverymuch.
Edit another: Starting to think I should blame it on another mod. Reinstalling and installing only HWR and hoping that everything will work properly. *crosses fingers*
Be sure to use the german "no cd" or at least the patched v1.1 original exe file, I have heard it causes issues with this mod.
I can guarantee that the AI is working correctly, but on some systems there are things that can mess up the behavior of the mod, and I have yet to know why this happens.
One of my friend has an issue with the AI looping and not working, but that has always happened on uncertain situations with other mods installed on the same data folder.
to solve that I have separate folders for this mod, Its the only mod where I have the need to do that, maybe we are pushing the engine too much or something.
