Reply to Speed question in Ashes of the Singularity AshesoftheSingularity Forums

Someone in another thread said zooming in and out, max at each end, a few times sorted them out when they hit this issue. You are also more likely to hit this sooner vs Substrate I think as the Insane AI can create a ton of drones. The odd thing which everyone with this issues reports is that the CPU isn't maxing out.

Reply to Is Asynchronous shading enabled in this game? in Ashes of the Singularity AshesoftheSingularity Forums

Asynchronous compute is enabled, but that is a huge leap going from a game engine initially designed for Ashes to a VR friendly game. Besides, Stardock is not a large studio and they need to make good return on their investments. The VR market isn't really there yet for that kind of thing, especially for strategy orientated games. <h2 style="margin: 0px; color: #fdfdfd; background-co

Reply to Next Feature Vote! in Ashes of the Singularity AshesoftheSingularity Forums

I agree with Igncom on the campaign issues. It is a real mess and a clean sense of progression with the PHC has been destroyed. I didn't vote but I actually hope we get the air transports and the visual pass first (from the things in the list). Air transports should really spice up the game and that fresh addition will help hold us over till the larger expansions. Visual because it is meant to be bringing unit wrecks/husks and that is a year late at this p

Reply to Why I uninstalled the game in Ashes of the Singularity AshesoftheSingularity Forums

Did you try playing with orbitals off? Or the middle option, which allows some orbitals but turns off some of them. It might have given you a more enjoyable experience. I think they could improve how the higher ai levels get quanta because orbitals can happen too often while they get their big boosts. Perhaps let them keep their eco boosts but cut down their quanta boost a lot so they can't spam abilities so much, especially when vs multiple AI. Or make it a player tweakable option. A

The nano armour does last the whole life of the unit. Found this screen shot. Those 3 dreads have the nano armour while the Juggernaughts don't. Is that what you are seeing? http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1142663940

Just double checking, but you are not talking about when you have nano armour on right? Sometimes the ai will give the human's Dreads nano armour as well so it wouldn't necessarily have to be you putting it on your own units. But it gets more of a yellow glow than individual colours popping out so I guess it is probably not that.

Reply to Vulkan benchmark in Ashes Bugs and Ideas AshesoftheSingularity Forums

Vulkan performs quite badly on Nvidia software from what I have seen so far. I have a very similar system to you and Dx11 is still the fastest API. DX12 is very close though and sometimes has better lows. I expect Vulkan to improve but this first implementation in Ashes on Nvidia isn't quite there yet. I don't know why it isn't working for you though. Tried a clean install of the drivers? (If you play the game on Extreme rather than Crazy settings you should much better perfor

- On construction of the sensor array the radar circle which shows the radar range upon completion has not been updated to reflect its new range. - I had a dreadnought waiting to pop out but it didn't because I didn't have enough logistics for it, but still had plenty of logistics for other things so didn't get a logistics warning. - The pan radar range seemed the same as its visual range, probably needs a buff. Glad to see bug fixes. Looking forward to the new Juggern

Reply to I'm New in Ashes of the Singularity AshesoftheSingularity Forums

I would go with metal first. As you can see in that video your are metal starved a lot early on, this can be avoided with a metal start. A few versions back I would agree with getting rads first, but at least for the PHC metal now rules for that initial expansion. Don't know if it is the best way to go but I go for two T1 factories at the beginning so I can spread fast (T1 are beefier than they used to be), then I'll build an Armoury.

And we hadn't been playing long. I knew some things now spent quanta, maybe just the Juggernaught? I thought it was odd it was happening so early but just said some things cost quanta now but wasn't sure what. I'm guess it was this? :)
