Lo-Fi Games

I am not sure i am posting in the right forum, in this case move or delete this thread please.

My game was crashing again and again with the 0.70.01 (see the bugs forum)
But this version is VERY stable, i was playing for an hour and usualy if i was moving too far from my group the game was crashing, but with this release, no i tryed to move to the nearest lair and fought and killed the beasts with no crash. and EVEN better!!
at 1PM east coast, 9PM for me it was time to watch my NFL game so i kept Kenshi running in the background (i was expecting a crash) and i ALT TABed to the NFL game pass so i can watch my game, Panthers Vs Bucs. at the end of the game i had 2 good surprises, 1/ we won and so we are still in the race for the play off................
2/ Kenshi was still running perfectly well, with my overloaded characters running all over their town, from mines to factories, fighting enemies etc.
Well done devs !



Edit : a detail, i am playing with low graphisms and windows mode.

I call that fortunate, considering that mine consistently crashes on new game right at the character creation panel. Due to that, I can't get any further bug hunting. I might have to fall back to the desktop to see if it really is my laptop's specs responsible.

Already placed my crash dumps in the bug reporting.

Well, I wouldn't call it the "best ever".
You weren't actively playing.. soo.. lesser chance of crashing *hides*

For me 0.67.2 was the most stable ever so far. The only crashes I had were due to the 32Bit limitation.

Until the stability hits the point that I can get past New Game, I'll keep my units in .67.2 in specialization training.

for experimental version i would have to say it is stable, long as you don't load any other areas. or dismantle any buildings or upgrade them.

for now.

I'm still experiencing stability issues with this build, even though crashes are much less frequent than in the previous one (using fullcreen mode on 1980x1080).

I've also seen some AI problems, like shop guards and town guard which they really hate each other. One funny thing that happened to me once : i've sent three newbies fighing a Leviathan beast which had entered Clownsteady, and the beast didn't fight back at them. After a full day of fight, the Leviathan was defeated (KO, not dead, the regeneration rate of these is madness). I've been unable to reproduce this and the game crashed soon after that.

Aereto, you are running on an intel graphics chipset... It is crashing at that point simply because your GFX chipset is just to cheap. if you are going to game on a laptop then you have to get either an Nvidia or AMD video chipset in your system. PERIOD.

i have actively played one hoiur before the ALTAB, btw i can dismantle buildings as well, it take a lot of time and the game is not responding for a couple of minutes but if you keep waiting nicely the game will answer, the building will be destoryed, sometimes the building textures are all messed up, in that case i save and reload and everything is back to normal.
Today i have no critical problems with the game. (with a 4 years old computer)

Affordability is a challenge for portable specs while keeping costs <$600 without compromising performance. A game could not be played under various factors.

Desktop's main problem is the literal rear pain due to extended sitting.

Update: Strange, now functional in .72. Haven't gone around to test until now due to laptop repairs. And further research indicated that this laptop's graphics card is slightly ahead of the desktop... huh. Either case, the desktop is suffering from hardware failure and is no longer in service.

NEW .

After reimporting my game in a new game with my tech level but not my town the game was stable but since i have moved my squad from clownsteady to Black Scratch, my game is crashing all the time, the only difference is the new loc.

Thats why you buy a good ergonomic Office chair.

The unfortunate part was that the good office chair that I had is... stowed elsewhere. Wood floors and roller bottoms are not a good mix.
