Neverending Battles

Thanks for info, if thats in fact the case then I would suggest posting a warning about this in readme/top post. I know one of my friends was playing with higher settings, however the other had his settings medium or low for the most part and had crash twice. However, I will report my own experience once I play it today.

Alright do you know what map it was? The detail heavy maps are more likely to crash than the low detailed ones :P

I actually forgot to include it in the readme but I added a text to every loading screen ( a red text! ) telling people to cut down their graphics. I've added text saying it on moddb now but maybe I should reupload 2.0 with a new readme..

We just played the map 7 on hard with 6 players with everyone at med or lower texture settings and had no crashes, so thats a success so far!

[ozka420]

Great What did you think of the map and script?

[djsatane]

Its quite good. I have few things to mention.

First, lower amount of fuel is ok, however in few instances the ammo trucks ran out of fuel before they got to our destination(at guns etc) and this caused a problem lol(had to run with carnister out of a tank to refuel a supply truck).

I did notice few tanks out of the random reinforcements that were not assigned to any player and just stood way back in base (it was pz3 and some other medium tank when playing german on map 7). Does any of the maps have any love for japan? hehe had to ask. Overall though game play is quite intense. I know that some people I know would prefer a button where user clicks after they setup defenses to tell game when they are ready for enemy to begin attack instead of only 10 min preparation time but thats not that big of a deal.

Here is one picture from our game!

Hi again, hmm I've never had that problem with the supply trucks but judging from the picture seems you hold the 1st line for quite some time. Might be the distance to the first line causing them to run out of fuel :P

Yeah I've also noticed the random reinforcements not assigning. I've only encountered this on never7 so far so must be a zone or waypoint I adjusted wrong, I'll make a hotfix for it shortly. Can anyone confirm if this happened on any other mission?

Japan will not be present because the game simply cant handle any more units now, it is on the verge of self-destruction as it is with all the nations present for the player and AI. Also, starting the game when all players are ready would allow the players to deploy huge unfair anti tank hedgehog fields and barbwire. Seeing that you can hold the 1st line for that long when I have to fall back at around 40 min I'm thinking of giving their artillery some more power hehehe..

[djsatane]

Well, we held first line because we had like 20 at guns spammed in various locations and a lot of arty, plus a lot of players that play a lot of heroic difficulty games so are used to handling ai. However, we only played on hard, and we were lucky because ai arty came close to wiping first line it was luck. I don't think adding more arty would be that great, maybe balance it in other way. As for Japan I understand the limitations but maybe down the road choose a jungle map where you have options of japan/usa/uk and thats it, I will report more after friday.

Just tried Korsun Pocket from the version 2 Neverending Battles on singleplayer.

Unfortunately, on my computer,
it is now the worst frames per second performance ever of the Korsun Pocket versions.

It is unplayable now.

UPDATE...........
The reason it played so slow was because when first played this mod,
in the game when the map has started,
on the right hand side, I chose my nation which was Germany, then Start.

I should have chosen my nation, then the enemy nation, then Start.
Because I did it wrong the first couple of times I got 4x the enemy
which made my computer dead slow.

I put my textures on to High instead of Ultra just for this mod.
Did not make any difference really.
I do not want to lower any graphic settings because image quality matters to my gameplay.
Also Assault Squad plays good on high settings normally.

I played the Germans.
Why does the Russians have German tanks like the King Tiger and some others ?

Not so much fun anymore. Not enough hedgehogs or barbed wire!
(even though barbed is bugged in the game Patch 2.00.11 - at the moment like I have reported;
the enemy can just walk through it in certain areas.)
Please put 6 or 8 hedgehogs and barbed wires in every engineer truck
so I can build proper defences in the short 12 - 11 minutes.
Or maybe or change it for myself ?

I will stay with previous versions of Korsun Pocket versions until I maybe get new computer.

The Mortar mod add-on you included -
you did good on adding the title of each different mortar round.

On the original mortar mod their were no description of each different round.
At first, most of the time I didn't know what the hell I was shooting.

[djsatane]

OVO, please re read what was stated, due to all the models loaded hidden for nation selection it is highly recommended to have texture quality at medium, you can keep other stuff high but that u need to lower otherwise the engine itself will choke and often crash due to excessive amount of models loaded but hidden. I wasnt aware russians had king tiger, its possible there is a typo in units called by ai on that one.

[OVO]

I read that carefully the first time.
You only really know these problems if you see / try them for yourself.
There is also a warning in the loading screen to lower textures, which i did,
but only to High instead of Medium.

It did not crash for me when I just played it for a few hours on Windows 7
on the MoWAS dvd disc version.

After very slow fps when the Russians crossed the river I lowered video settings.
I even put all video options down to the lowest but still gameplay
was too slow on my computer once there were many Russians.
Raising the camera height I think has affected the fps also but I like the high view.

I need a new updated computer with a faster CPU like a i5-2500K overclocked to 4.5GHz

I just tried it on Steam version on XP and started getting BSOD crashes only few minutes into game.
Sometimes my pc gets crashes when I swap hard disks because the
old hard disk controller driver is too stupid to know I have connected a different hard disk.

I also used Asus Smart Doctor overclock feature which I thought may have caused crash.
But now I know it was probably not lowering the video settings for this mod that caused it.
Windows 7 lasted without crashing.

About the German tanks on the side of the Russians; there was King Tiger
and another German medium IV panzer I saw.

On the Neverendingrevisited version I sometimes got a Russian T-34
as a free bonus reinforcement on my German side.
I thought maybe ozka42 put them in as enemy captured tanks ?
