Re: Any way to save your DW2 settings?

When I started playing I changed some hotkeys to my liking. I don't do that anymore, because they get reset all the time.

Re: Distant Worlds 2: Factions Recap

Re: DW2 CPU usage

Since you not provide any metric or data or specs your post literally says nothing. If you would add system specs, game size, game stage (mid-late-ect) with some CPU use numbers/screen you would add some meaning to your statement. Just sayin... It was not my intention to go into technical details. ...

DW2 CPU usage

I recently upgraded my 7 year old CPU and got a modern CPU with much higher performance and a lot more cores (got new motherboard, RAM etc of course). What surprised me was how the Distant Worlds 2 just scaled up and basically used more cores still at a fairly high load. I got the game set to use ma...

Re: The Wekkarus - Dev Diary #2

Really like the design on both the species and the ships, with similar looking appendages.

Yep, it does that. The advisor has some secret path to the site I guess. : )

AI annoyance outposts and colonizations during war

When at war with the AI, the AI often sends colonization ships to do annoynance outposts and colonies far inside your territory. The UI is poor at telling me when these are incoming so I can stop them. I've managed to stop it sometimes, but mostly due to luck as it is hard taking notice of an enemy ...

Re: [1.2.8.8] Admirals and Generals stacking in the same fleet.

@Buio - I noticed you uploaded the save through our issue report system. I'm unable to reproduce admirals returning to a fleet with only troop transports. I see them assigned to 2 of your strongest fleets, while your generals are with the fleet with troop transports. Do you have other examples of t...

Re: [1.2.8.8] Admirals and Generals stacking in the same fleet.

I'm playing 1.2.9.2 as Mortalen in my current game. No special settings or mods. My best mortalen admiral insisted moving several times to an troop transport fleet with almost no fleet power. I moved him manually to a fleet with high fleet power, but he went back several more times to the troop flee...

Re: [1.2.8.8] AI does not use ships given

I will check if I have a save before the gift. I can create one after as the ships are still not taken in use.

[1.2.8.8] AI does not use ships given

In the current game I'm good friend with an Ackdarian empire, and they started a war with an Teekan empire who I'm no friend of. I had just created a small but powerful fleet of found derelict ships. I sent them to an Ackdarian system, then disbanded the fleet and gave all ships to them. But as thei...

Re: [1.2.8.8] graphical territory bug

My layman guess is that some systems got created outside the galaxy limit. I used the "Even Clusters" setting to generate the galaxy in this game. I saw a space form between those systems and the others. A second image that shows the territory space between my starting world and a few syst...

Re: Distant Worlds 2: Return of the Shakturi Out Now

After the latest Maintenance Update the game is great. Even if there are still things to improve, the game is in a good place.
