	Random Thought Support Apolyton, buy GURPS/ Alpha Centauri

Just booted the game up for the first time in a long time, to try the new patch. I'd forgotten how neat that opening movie was. That is all...

It is pretty cool. If they had spent as much time working out kinks as they did making the intro, maybe they wouldn't be giving MOO3 away for free on Amazon. Of course, I haven't tried the patch yet so maybe I should shut my mouth until I do...

So what you are saying is all of freezes and jerkiness in the intro are gone? I'd stopped watching it because it was so screwed up.

I have the distinct feeling, that they also reworked parts of the Intro in the patch

Nope, I´m not sure.

I had only the distinct feeling after seeing the Intro again post patch.
It seemed like those ships in the beginning of the Intro looked better than before

If they had spent as much time working out kinks as they did making the intro, the game would've taken two hours to install, not worked on half of the operating systems out there, reformatted one in three hard drives, and given everyone else a DX error.

Let alone what would've happened if the people who worked on the intro (the artists) were the same ones who worked out the kinks.

Oh, no, it's still jerky.

It just looked cool.

Half-played a game with the patch. Got bored. Stopped playing. Will attempt to really play it a couple more times. But, well, it's still MoO3.

I think the problem lies in the bink format/player itself. I know that MoO3 is not the only game that uses bink and has had jerkiness and slowdown in the movies. I think another example of this is Neverwinter nights, but I am not sure because I didn't have problems with the movies for either game

A little off the current topic but still a random thought, did this patch address the save "feature" that only saved from the beginning of the turn and not from the time saved?

No, this is still the same. I've read in other threads that this was done deliberatley. Something to do with MP games. You'd think that they would have at least changed it for those of us who only play single-player.

At least now you can see your last SitRep after loading a saved game.

True. Still would have been nice to let me save in the middle of my turn.

	Suffering from ads?

Of course.
At the moment it does nothing more than the Autosave,
with the exception that you are able to choose a name for the Savefiles.
Lets hope they´ll alter it with the next patch.

There's a story to it that's not appropriate for MOO3 boards. Do a search; you'll find it.

Due to popular demand:

quote: My friends and I have xbox parties and usually play Halo. One day I absolutely smoked everyone there. The next day when I was gloating about it at work, two of the guys that were there were calling me a liar, telling me I was drunk, etc, so I had to find some crying babies to send to them to let them know how I felt about their comments. As for choosing it as my avatar, everyone here seems to choose these really cool pics for theirs so I thought I'd dare to be different and choose something with no known coolness value. Plus, it makes me laugh every time I see it.

Sorry Harry, what I actually meant was for statusperfect to explain his avatar. I like yours since it reminds me of my 7 month old son who cries alot. As for myself, I have a picture in mind already but I'm leaving mine blank as a protest against the policy of not allowing custom avatars until a certain number of posts are reached.

I actually don't mind that they only allow custom avatars for a certain number of posts. Just the number is too high (500 is it? 100 would be sufficient imo...)

Plus I haven't found any place yet where it shows how many posts I have done so far, so no idea how much I would have to spam around to finally get there...

Now you got me curious! Search on what? Crying Babies?

The explanation is in a quote about five posts up. I'd have searched on Harry Seldon and Avatar. I've posted it a couple of times in different forums. Searching on crying babies would probably just bring up a long list of Poly posters from the OT forum.
