I checked in a fix to try to address the stuck tooltip. It's not a full fix, but if a tooltip "sticks" it should fix itself if you go back into the thing you were mousing over and exit it again. I've not been able to get a reliable repro for the tooltip bug which is why it's been languishing for so long. Hopefully this will help alleviate the problem until I can fully understand what's going on.
We'll see what we can do. We don't have the resources to create every visualization people can think of, but when we have a concrete example like what KCIV has designed it's a lot easier to schedule. KCIV - I bet you can't make another visualization! Or make your current one better! -Scott-
This is a really cool visualization! I like the layout. -Scott-
Yes, that is functionality that I will try to add today for the next next_version. Thanks for the heads up! -Scott-
[quote who="InSyncOTC" reply="19" id="3591297"]Hi Scott! Here's functionality feedback: the game crashes to desktop when run on integrated Intel card (works on Nvidia card) the moment I try to load the map. Which means I won't be able to play at all, unless the issue is addressed. [e digicons]:([/e] [/quote] I am sorry, that is really lame. I will add it to our list and will try to address it as soon as possible. Thank you for letting us know. -Scott-
[quote who="Cubit32" reply="16" id="3591223"] I agree that the new UI just looks like an eyesore in many places, or words to that effect. The new patent icons are very welcome though. I think that many of the graphics are just placeholders right now but in case they are not I want to say that they need work like on the post game statistics, many colors there just dont fit together. I'd also like the black market icons to be actual icons or at least capital letters in the same size fo
[quote who="Cubit32" reply="9" id="3591043"] as of the current next_version, the game permanently pauses (without showing any pausing indication except that the game stops progressing, doesn't allow me to open any menu or do anything) on the daily challenge at 11:50 of day 2 every single time. [/quote] Uhhh, it's a feature?? Thanks, will look into it. :) -Scott-
I prefer destroy buyout because when I purchase someone, I don't lose the sense of ownership of what is going on in the game. When I buy someone out, there's a tremendous influx of resource throughput, but I have no idea what I have. The cognitive load often doubles and it's not a welcome feeling, it's not a "yay, I did something good" for me, I get even more snowblind to all the decisions that have to be made. I like destroy buyouts because when I buy someone out, the
[quote quoting="post"]All patent auctions seem to say they win superconductor.[/quote] I'm not able to reproduce this. When you get the next version, can you try it out and see if it happens again? Thanks! -Scott-
Passed this along to Soren and Dave. -Scott-
Hey InSyncOTC, Thanks for the feedback! This is great stuff! [quote who="InSyncOTC" reply="18" id="3589081"]4. No stop/resume auto-selling of power.[/quote] This should be fixed in the next version. [quote who="InSyncOTC" reply="18" id="3589081"]7. Sometimes offworlds are not listed in player list. But that's not beta 7 related, I think. I believe I've seen this happening in one of the last night tourney matches. Will have to re-check them
Great catch, Bertiee. Added to the list.
Hi everyone! Thank you for all your feedback! We've posted another build in next_version and would love to have your feedback. Beta 7 is coming quickly and we want to have everything ready for you when it hits. If you haven't gotten the next version before, here's what you need to do: Right-Click “Offworld Trading Company” and select Properties->Betas Ch
There are a lot of features missing from the current Beta 6 version of the UI and we're planning on having beta 7 be completely playable. Hopefully it will run much faster for you. Thanks! -Scott-
Thanks for the feedback! We're working hard on it. Hopefully people will like what we have coming in beta 7! -Scott-
Thanks for the feedback! I'll spend some time sprucing it up. Thanks again! -Scott-
Ah, yeah, that was a mistake. It's in the development build but not in the public build. I will make a note for it to be in the public build so you can try it out. Thanks! -Scott-
Looking into this. Will let you know what I find out. Thanks for bringing this up! -Scott-
Thanks for all the excellent feedback! Keep it coming! -Scott-
Hey everybody, First, thank you so much for all your feedback about the new UI. It has highlighted a number of problems we've missed internally and highlight the features that you guys want. Second, we put a new version of the game with lots of UI fixes up in next version. We haven't fixed everything you have found, but we've fixed a lot and we really want your feedback on that. The more iterations we're able to make, the more solid beta 7 will be and the
Were you playing with the new UI? *waves to Chris* -Scott-
Hey everybody, Jim and I are working hard on the new UI. You can try out the new version in single player by going to options->game and clicking the new UI checkbox. You can only use it in single player. Please let us know what you like and don't like and what you'd like to see in the future. Our plan is to make the new UI the default in Beta 7 and remove the old version in Beta 8, so please let us know your "we have to have X" as soon as possible. Thank you
No idea about the game pausing bug. I haven't seen it on our end. I will let Soren know about it because I haven't modified that stuff in a while. -Scott-
This is a known issue that should be resolved in the new interface. What is happening is that strings are being built on the server and are being sent over the network to the other players. In this case, the server was playing in Russian and building the strings in Russian and sending you the game messages in Russian. These strings should not be constructed on the server and instead should be constructed on the client for multiple reasons. This issue will take some time to wor
[quote who="socapex" reply="1" id="3576507"] Did you fix the UI being unplayable on OS X? [/quote] The auto-double click issue has been fixed. I should have included it in the patch notes. While the interface latency is still present on all systems (and it looks like Beta 6 will have the first pass at our solution), the Mac version should be much more playable now. -Scott-
