The game is no longer responding to keyboard commands: space bar, Escape key. etc., nothing works. I can't even type in a name for my empire when starting a new campaign.

This problem only started after v1.1.2.4 dropped. I haven't had any issues with the keyboard commands until now (it was fine ...

We may need you to start a new game and immediately save it right before this happens. If you could do that and please zip it and upload it here, it would help us figure out why this is happening for you and not for us.

I'd be more than happy to do so, but the forums aren't allowing me to ...

In the attached screenshot, I've officially encountered (established diplomatic relations with) 2 pirate factions. However, there's a 3rd pirate faction in my own home system (the Ackdarian Army) who I have *not* officially encountered, despite their base having fired upon two of my exploration ...

Also: It's obviously not a super-pressing issue, but I'm getting a lot of occurrences where the game's soundtrack just...stops for a while. I'll get snippets of music (for 10-30 seconds, then it will suddenly cut off and the game goes quiet.

Sometimes the music starts back up on its own, sometimes ...

Another thing that just happened to me that I'd not encountered before the newest patch (though I realize that may only be a coincidence):

This only started happening to me as of today (with v1.0.1.9)...

Playing as the Ackdarians, the Ancient Small Spaceport is now automatically rebuilt -- and then immediately disbanded afterwards. (I don't get the option to keep the rebuilt spaceport like I did before.)






Distant Worlds 2 ...

My sincere appreciation to everyone for the responses & advice!


Following Tanaka's suggestion, I dug around the game files a bit -- which is admittedly a stressful endeavor for a technological troglodyte like myself -- and was eventually able to locate & remove the offending mp3 file. I'm ...

(I realize this is probably an unusual complaint...)


So I've noticed that when I'm zoomed in on a planet or star system, there's often this...percussion riff that repeats itself for 20-30 seconds, stops for a bit, and then loops back and begins playing again. (I have a hunch the riff is supposed ...

It was no accident. They definitely meant to tell us the game is being released March 10. [8D] <br/>

If you're specifically looking for PBEM, I'll always toss out a recommendation for Armada 2526 with the Supernova expansion.

Indeed. For as much as I don't always agree with how S/M handles their games, keeping them in closed beta -- and out of Steam Early-Access -- is one thing I'm 100% on-board with.

For those of you who have played/are playing <B><s>[b]</s><I><s>[i]</s>Empire in Arms<e>[/i]</e></I><e>[/b]</e></B> since the big update that dropped recently, what's your take on it so far? (I've long had a jonesing for a Napoleonic-era grand-strategy/wargame ...

Cool, good to know. Maybe I'll have to sign up, then. Thanks, Erik!

^ That'd be great, in theory. In practice, however, I don't ever see that happening in a strategy game. The difficulty in coding such a feature (if it's even possible at all) would almost certainly require more time and/or effort than it'd be worth.

Stupid question: How necessary is it to have played the original version?


I own the original WaW, but have admittedly barely played it. (No reason, honestly, I just never got around to it, sadly.)

Dev Diary #3 coming out when?

^ October would be preferable, though. If they're going to delay the game until Christmas, then they might as well throw in the towel and wait to release until 2022 after all.
