1.08 is up

THANK U for reporting it as I got so frustrated waiting that I grabbed my non-gaming laptop and plopped myself in the t.v.

THANK SD for posting it

Dammit. No fix for the OOM crashes. Still unplayable for late games here.

You have an empty TV chassis?

Its up and still as unpolished as ever. I'm still maintaining hope though!

How can you have played a 5 hour game already? Try starting a new game instead of loading a savegame which was known to crash :/

Just tried 1.08 and my offensive magic seems to always miss now.

start a new game.  magic seems to be teh pwnage now.  which is cool.  because the game is called war of magic.

but

other changes seem to have made game worse.  75% reduction in gold from monsters + no ability to speed up tactical combat = 1.08 FAIL

1.08(1.08 a i guess), wow this is aggrevating. the pathfinding is useless forcing you to move your characters manually, but now a whole slew of things require two movement points and with the serious lack of differences in tile detail, i can't tell, by looking, whats going to take 2 and what isn't, even with the pop up terrain info I am unsure what does and doesn't take two, possibly because of some special circumstances(moving onto certain goody huts seems to take two movement points irregardless of the underlying tile) but trying to navigate each tile by the pop up is just dang tedious anyway. as if this game weren't slow and tedious enough. this is just intolerable.

 where is the change log specific for 1.08b, you patched something,  what was it? or did you just bury it in with the 1.08 a ?

the point is that hunting monsters is now pointless.  it was bad enough before due to the slow pace of tactical battles.  i stopped playing this game 2 weeks ago because i was sick of spending so much time on a single battle.  now the reward has been drastically cut?  absolute bs.  now there is no way to fund an army or equip your champions. 

maybe i am wrong.  maybe they added something later in the game to compensate.  i will never know, because there is no way i am wasting any more time testing this patch.

Am I the only person that still can't play multiplayer?   It says to check a box on the impulse settings.  I did and it still doesn't work.  WTH?!?!?!?!?

I'm trying to be calm.  But does Stardock wants us to give up on them?  These patches are making me think so.

1st new 1.08 game 3rd turn in about 100 wolves and bandits show up and pwn me.

2nd game crashing every time I alt+tab....... still waiting for that polish

Check the box, then refresh impulse. 1.08b should show up to install.

I have yet to miss with magic and it kicks ass now. I also make much more gold from my cities. I'll have to play longer to see if monster hunting will be worth it or not. The best thing for me is my fps are hellva lot better.

I don't like how I can see everyones Kingdom reports, kinda feels like cheating. Hope its a bug they just forgot to turn it off. If it was in there before, then I must have missed it.

Is anyone else able to recruit heroes?  The only hero-like entities I see around are NPCs with no ability to recruit them -- there's no icon under "Actions" if I click on them even if I am right next to them.  Nothing says why I can't recruit them.  So far I've encountered two of those, and absolutely zero recruitable heroes.

just a guess:

1.08<-----you have this one

1.08b <---you need this one

edit - i say "guess" because it is a 2.2gig download....and i am just not down with that. 

Wow.  Just updated to Mod 1.08.  Unbelievably, it is even buggier.  Mod 1.07 would occassionally cause my computer to spontaneouly shut down.  Now I played one turn, the game locked up my computer and crashed.  Now the game won't even load - it just crashes after the initial intro screens when I try and load or start a new game.

Is it really that hard to write a game program?  I mean you guys have successfully done it several times before...

I guess the really frustrating thing is that I can see this game's potential through all the buggy programming and the patches that make me keep restarting the game.  I guess next time I want to spend $60 I'll just take boxing lessons.  At least then I'll expect to get sucker punched.

Please keep trying to fix this - I want to play it, I'm just getting really frustrated.

I started a freshgame. The magic is much more powerful. I dropped 7 enemy units with one blizzard. I think I did 13 to most of them. In previous version I used to just miss or do like 2 damage. This is much kewler and actually worth casting spells now.

Yes they made the monsters worth less but they made it very likely you'd have a gold mine right next to your start area so I feel like that balances fine. My starting town after some adventuring research has 3 gold mines now. I didn't have any material resources near my start so that was my weak area. I took someone elses material nodes with my army of pawnage sions.

I did get an OOM around turn 100. But I can always just load back up an auto-save and not have another one for another 100 turns or so. I've never not been able to complete a game because of them.

O don't even know what to say.  The whole reason for ME.  Buying this game was the Multiplayer option.  Now that doesn't work.  By the way I followed all of the prevoius post tips and it still doesn't work.  I even reinstalled the game.  I like STardock but this game is pissing me off.

It just downloaded Multiplayer 1.08b BETA for me.

I closed Impulse and then started it up again 5mins later.. then it downloaded a 2nd update (which was the beta B update).

Could you provide more detail on what you consider unpolished so that we can address this? Thanks!

It was not intended for players to fund their economy via monster farming. We do have an option to turn off animations in tactical battles but it was not checked-into v1.08 in time for the release.

5 hours? I have WAY more than 5 hours in my save game...over 500 turns. So, I'm supposed to lose all of that progress? The patch should fix the bugs in the actual game's code, not the data stored in a saved game.

We are very interested in getting as many hardware/OS/driver details from anyone who is still experiencing an OOM issue. We think it is down to a single OS/driver/video card combo (Windows 7, 64-bit, ATI HD48x series with 2010 drivers). We just have to determine what API call is failing to release memory but we want to be certain that we have narrowed it down to a specific reproducible scenario.

download the beta now.  then bitch later. 

i suppose they could have been more clear about the need to download 1.08b if you want MP...
