Pestalence....
« on: May 31, 2008, 11:36:37 pm »
I wanted to take a moment to bring up drafting on Hardcore...

I know you and I were the only ones on....but you didnt answer my in chat...so i dont know if it was down..or you were busy...

First question....what is the drafting radius set at...

I was in the next hex when you drafted me...not the same hex...

I got a countdown to zero...then back to the map...

Then I went to move back in the hex....and the timer bar ran out...no move...

Wondering.....you think there might be an issue with DX compatabilty like we used to have between 8 and 9?

Draft radius is set to 1.. so should be in hex only

Second I was testing out the server on my system .. game and server on same PC.. IRC chat won't allow me to chat doing that (duplicate IP address).. so I use TS when trying to play.

I also forgot to set CPU affinity on my client side game on my CPUs.. I had game running both CPUs instead of 1, which effected my drafting.. so that was completely my fault.. I did not realize that you were drafted until I got message that you dropped.. for all intents and purposes.. you should have drafted me and it would have been stable with the way I was running it.. Normally I have CPU affinity set to 1 core which allows me to draft.. either way it was my fault

There should not be any DirectX incompatibilities on XP so long as everyone is using the March 2008 update.. however I would recommend that people use the March 7, 2008 redistributable (68.5Mb) to make sure that there are no errors in their DirectX (it not only updates every direct X file nice and fresh, but it also resets the DirectX in the system registry).

When I was online, I was in XP.. the error was the way my system and game were configured at the time.. sorry that it effected you badly.. I will be more careful in the future.

Pesty, draft radius has to be set to zero if you want in hex drafting only. A radius of one will try to draft all six hexes around the hex you are in.
