you might be able to still play it once you upgrade, I think the 1.6 was able to transfer over. I can't say I remember for sure.

But I will say the difference that the upgrade will give you, will make up for any time you did "lose" on playing the older build.



I suppose I could try upgrading, surrendering and then trying to post it. If that works, I could reset my character and repost it later.

Well that depends on; How much frustration you enduring versus time invested in the game versus how much more time and frustration it would take to complete. Ultimately, You are probably the only one that can answer that one.


Ahh. An evil, non-committal answer if I ever saw one.   

THanks for the info and advice folks. I think I'll upgrade and test it out. At least then, I should have a working DA going. Maybe even the autopilot will work in 1.8g?

Others have said it's ok, but I still get some random losses, but not as many mass losses of it now.

Random losses sounds like a vast improvement over DL, where you're guaranteed to lose several on every startup and some when just updating the turn. I'll like it if I don't have to redo so many routes. That alone convinces me to upgrade.

The game works after the upgrade!    Unfortunately, I'm being walked on by all AIs except the freebie Iconians.    I'm going to start over with a custom Yor. I read the details in Firebender's post (thanks, FB) in the Tyranny forums and will put that to (hopefully) good use.

I've also been reading over DA's thread over there and the replys from everyone. It's quite enlightening. You have a great game going, DA!   

Armed with the new information and a stable game, I'm hopefully ready to tackle this thing.

Good luck to you Motti. There is little slower pace to DA though after awhile it doesn't feel that way anymore.

Yeehaawww

Just wanted to say that I upgraded my DA in the middle of a game last month and there was no problem. The upgrade helped with the autopilot issue.

Good to hear mate. I know i had problems upgrading whilst having an older game going. The new build is by far the most stable yet, though i have found an issue but i'm not sure it's SD related.

Sometimes in the shipbuilder screen all the components on the ship, listed horizontally in the right pane...will appear as a blank tile...no picture, not even the hull/weapons. Others it will be fine. I have seen this a bit over the last few games but cannot place my finger on what causes it.

Anyone else seen this?
on Feb 17, 2008
yeah ive seen that too.
on Feb 17, 2008
I've seen this alot in my games. It's usually the newer components that were added with DA that have no little thumbnail pic.

so when I logged in today I thought my browser had gone haywire. I think I like the new forum format, just gonna take some getting used to. The only bad thing I'm seeing right now is that all threads that I had replied to in the past are now highlighted, so its a little harder telling which one was actually responded to.

I like how it tells ya a member is online though, that's kinda cool.

Hmm yea im not sold on the new look yet, and yes the My replies section is now one big pain in the ass.

What i dont like is the ranks are now missing. There is no veteran listed near my name and in my profile i am a Apprentice (2)....

WTF????

That tells people nothing....Mumble is a journeyman!!!!
on Feb 19, 2008
well actually Neilo thats the same access level (level 2) that Veteran was. Though you're right in that it doesn't really tell people anything. Work in progress I suppose. I mean, you know from personal experience how forums can be.
on Feb 19, 2008
Oh yes, and i suppose they are working out some kinks, but i really must admit my ego really liked that veteran near my name......

Think i'll have to go look at my muscles in a mirror or something!!!!

The furballs took number one spot, Oh well
