<t> I have to agree with Asty on the art assets. At this point they just feel too generic to me. I think its a missed opportunity not to have unique art for each faction. Why not give each faction their own distinct visual characteristics that carry through all their unique units. Take for example ...

<r> Hey Breca,<br/>
<br/>
Just a simple design suggestion. I think extending the thin gold border around the unit name would help tie the whole unit art together.<br/>

That looks much better Breca. I am really looking forward to Sovereignty's release.

You could always run them vertically on the left hand side of the art. That way they would match the icons on the left and right side of the screen....and not cover booty:)

<t> I like the layout of the screens. My only criticism would be the small icons covering the unit art. It just feels awkward having the icons covering many of the faces. As an illustrator who has done a lot of art for card games, nothing is more vexing than having your paintings buried behind icons ...

Actually Lordhoff Legion was the first slitherine release, then Chariots, Spartan and Troy the last. I agree Spartan and Gates of Troy are much improved over Legion.

You need to paste the .dll into the Spartan game folder where the Spartan .exe resides, not the desktop. The Spartan icon or .exe file that launches the game is located in the main Spartan directory, example C:\Matrix Games\Spartan. This is the default install location with ...

<t> Your welcome. Actually, someone else mentioned that dxdiag fix on the forum a year or so ago (I think they discovered it by accident). I am surprised your search of the forum did not bring up some of the old posts concerning sound issues. Now the only thing you have to worry about is the game ...

Hello sfcspoonman,

Try opening your dxdiag and leave it open in the background while you play Starshatter. For some reason this helps minimize the sound problems you are experiencing. Hope this helps.

I just received my shipping notice. Coincidence or great support, either way I am happy.[:)]

Is Legion Gold another title on backorder because of the printer problems? Unfortunately, my order has been on hold for several weeks. [&:]

If I am not mistaken patch 5.02a added the TrackIR support. However 5.02a also seems to cause a game crash when assault missions are selected. I do not have TrackIR so I reverted back to 5.01 to avoid the crashes.

<t> I can confirm this crash as well. Assault missions seem to be the culprit. I reverted back to 5.01 and have encountered no crashes. I noticed the mission list text is now different in 5.02. Instead of something like MSN 005 Assault Mine Minefield A, the line in 5.02 just says Assault. It would ...

<t> This problem has been around since the games release. Try opening up your Dxdiag and leave it running in the background, while running Starshatter. This should help with the sound problems. You might still have a glitch here and there but its a vast improvement. Hopefully this will help, it ...

Thats strange. If you have mouse look enabled it should allow you to pan with the mouse outside and in the virtual cockpit. You must be right, maybe the TrackIR overides the mouse look setting.

In the virtual cockpit (SHIFT F1), not the padlock view, you can look around by holding down the right mouse button while moving the mouse. Is that what you mean or am I missing the point?

Hope this helps.

Moxica, If you run your dxdiag in the background while playing Starshatter TGS this should resolve your problem. I know its just a temporary fix, but it solved my sound issue. I hope this works for you. Lets hope a future patch will address this issue.

TuSC&nbsp; Try running your dxdiag in the background while playing the game.&nbsp; For some reason this fixes the problem.&nbsp; I am still hoping this issue will be resolved in a future patch.&nbsp;

<t> Jeffcee52, I had the same problem. For some reason the new .exe file has a different name then the old one, so it will not overwrite the old one when you unzip it to the Starshatter folder. I fixed it by renaming the new .exe file. Go into the main Starshatter folder. You will find 2 exe files ...

Your right the shift + direction keys do not seem to work like it says in the manual. The only other way I know is to go to the F3 view, and hold down the right mouse button then rotate the view with your mouse. However I do not think this works if you are in mouse steering mode.
