  1. Thanks for the explanation. To be honest I had thought as a possible explanation, something similar to what you wrote.
    I was hoping that the programmers could implement some sort of "porting" of the saved games between
    one version and another (maybe only from the previous version).
    I imagine that knowing the nature of the changes, it would be possible to adjust the content of the significant
    information at the end of the loading (or ,maybe with a special tool).

    A similar problem could always reoccur at the release of what will be the natural patches after the release
    of the "retail" version.

    In any case, the possibility of using the previous "legacy" version will allow us to continue with the
    campaigns already started.
    Thanks.

  2. First, thank you for continuing to develop and improve the game.
    But I would like to ask you why every time a new patch is released I have to start the game all over again.

    Imagine the scene:

    You play up to a certain point, after many (even difficult) missions, then...
    zac! you have to start all over again.
    Without even being able to try to load the last save, because the game warns "is from an older version".

    It wasn't my intention to be too critical, but it frustrated me wasting hours and hours of campaigning.

  3. Thanks for your answer, it's been a long time since I purchased Xenonaut 2 frankly I don't remember
    if I purchased the relative option (I will check, maybe no... ).

    I imagined that since in the settings there is the possibility of importing the code generated by
    the portrait editor, there was the possibility of using it, and perhaps adding variety to the pool of available soldiers.

    Thank you ;)

     

  4. Insert the game K9 unit is a great indea.
    Personally I would hate to lose a dog in action, but it is unthinkable that they would not be used (at least initially)
    to look for aliens in a "search and destroy" or "search and capture" mission.
    Especially if the aliens could disguise themselves or infiltrate.

    I would opt for giving skills (and levels) and equipment to dogs, they could not carry heavy loads, because otherwise
    they would slow them down on the field (unless in the meantime they have become cyber dogs).
    Protection, sensors, and perhaps some ammunition, and medikit. For the rest, nothing else. Usually dogs should point
    aliens, and get out of enemy fire (unless ordered to attacked, but as others have said, they shouldn't be able to kill
    aliens by themselves. Unless the alien is weak, injured or particularly unlucky).

  5. Neil Armstrong was one of the few who can be said fully Planetary Heroes. It does not matter which country they belong to, what they represented for every man, woman and child on the planet is something that knows no borders or nationality. The courage that has demonstrated in front of the unknown is something that few people can even think to have. It 'was a sad day, but the example he left us last forever.

  6. Personally, when I played the first X-Com I hated from the depths of my heart the crysalid. All started when my favorite colonel turned into a slimy zombies. When then acting as crysalid took out half of his former team, I had to prepare two bodyguards (heavily armed) for the most promising graduates. If you intend to make the Reaper "friendly" or even more than the old Crysalid ... it will be fun.

    Good luck;)

  7. I've highlighted the important part here. You've bought and paid for a complete copy of Xenonauts when it is finished.

    The fact that you also have access to the alpha (and soon to be beta) test versions is just an added bonus.

    In short, Desura from the point of view of a sales contract don't have to actually supply and update the alpha build at all, especially not the stand alone executable (which isn't in their interest to host btw as it costs them money to host it and they don't gain anything ie, increased number of people using their Client), so understandably, it's going to be very low priority for them.

    I understand your frustration though as you want to get stuck in and it's not a nice situation to be in, but I have to ask, is there any reason why you won't install Desura?

    I ummed and ahhed and used the standalone's for a while, but eventually relented. From what I can tell, the Desura client is pretty light and I only run it when I know an update to Xenonauts has been released as you don't need Desura running to play the game.

    First, thanks for your understanding.

    Maybe I used a tone a little too enforced to voice my frustration.

    In the past I used the client Desura, and I had some problems with the software I use.

    Now I do not want to risk installing it and then do a bug hunt.

    I also understand that we are in August, and are definitely understaffed.

    But since it was updated for the Mac version, I do not think it would have

    taken too long for the PC.

    Anyway, I would appreciated that they had answered me ... two lines.

    From what I read I'm not the only one to ask for an update.

    Thanks for your reply, it means I'll have to organize, or wait for them to decide otherwise. ;)

  8. I also think that Chris could not do anything about ...

    I wrote and posted on the forums & support ... Desura Let's see if they wake up.

    Current time: no Answer.

    Maybe we could think of an alternative system, maybe a ftp where authorized users

    can download the archive file. Of course after getting authenticated.

    Ok is just an idea ...

    But I am irritated with Desura for non updating the links :mad:

  9. I opened a post on desura to see if and when they wake up and make available

    the 13° version, since it is already available for download for Mac.

    I do not want to install another client on my pc ...

    and irritates me greatly, that they put so long to update a link.

  10. I thought I'd just let everyone know, I'm working on an update to add female names which may take a few days. I'm not looking forward to adding the "a" to those russian surnames :D....

    Maybe you can help you with names and surnames that I inserted in the female model.

    If you need a hand ... let me know;)

    I really liked your previous release.
