To all SSC Station occupants

Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.

Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

I was probably a little hard on the game, but I do have a bit of a thing for weapons in games. Provided that they are done right... The more realistic the better for me.

Do you mean the Rubik's cube with the missions connected or the other cube? Have you found the strange artifact that makes the graphics of the game change?

Thats right. I ran into that strange floating rubiks cube out in the desert, with a flock of admirers standing by it. πŸ™‚ I didnt bother with the quest because I was in a frantic search for the powerpack to my ship hehe.

I have a quest for a strange artifact maybe thats the one your talking about.

....but a couple of tips you can shoot the raiders as much as you like but shooting the bandits will make the game a bit harder later on as there is no way to lower your rating with them. And use the sniper weapon as you can use it at long range without any effect to your rating with the factions.

Cheers for the tips. I actually joined up with the bandits (I think) and the captain chastised me for doing so hehe. I had a choice of joining them, or cowardly lobbing a grenade on some friendly bandits to complete my quest, as I was no match for them in a straight up fight.

Not seen this mission which changes the graphic of the game ❓

Has anyone talked to the ghost by the ruined village.

I some time just run the bandits over or use the rockets on the helicopter which is also ideal for hunting these big ape like creatures in the game as these thing can knock the buggies right over.

There is another strange artifact in one of the oasis, with an acolyte nearby who asks you to touch it. You should do so :)!

Yes, but he only gives random hints about the Precursors and their installations with no special quests or similar involved.

Pinback you ever complete the game? What was your thoughts on the ending or is it left to open for there to be an ending because of the sequel Deep Shadows thought about doing?

Looks like I will be making another GamersGate purchase soon. What wasn't mentioned in the article is if Precursors is going to be fully translated/multi-lingual?

Wonder if they are using Wesp5 translation of the game and if they have fixed the numerous bugs in the game.

Hi, first post here.

I have the Gamersgate English version and it seems translated so far.

Only point is that during gameplay when I receive messages, I receive them as text only, I don't get any voiceover. This also makes dialog pass too quickly.

Is anyone else having this issue as well?

I do remember I encountered a bug in Boiling Point (the game's less-sci-fi predecessor) that removed the speech from the game.

I think this is normal. i think you can find your message, somewhere in the log.

Yes the game has english voice overs, and translated videos. (But the perfomances are not that good :mrgreen: The Russian voice-overs were better IMHO).

oh and don't forget

Merry Christmass to everyone πŸ˜€ πŸ˜€ πŸ˜€ πŸ˜€ πŸ˜€

Does it or does it not have voiceovers for dialogue and speech?

I noticed the intro video does have voice, but the rest of the game seems to miss any actual voices.

No voice for the main part just text ok

try this out if your having problems with gamersgate version

n VIDEOOPTIONS.ini change these values to the following:

SMOOTHFPS=1

RENDERLAG=1

LIMITFPS=60

DISABLE_ROTATION_MOTION_BLUR=1

in CONTROLSETTINGS.INI, change these values to the following:

Keyboard Sensitivity=0.000000

After this line, add the following line:

Mouse K2=0.000000

(if you have a different mouse k2=xxxxx line, delete that one)

if the maximum in-game sensitivity is too low for you, you can manually increase it using the mouse sensitivity value in CONTROLSETTINGS.ini

Hm, Precursors stores it's saved games in the shared documents folder. Any issues with that on your system?

I think Xenus II is the Russian name for White Gold.

That's what I thought.

Absalom, definitely send Gamersgate an e-mail or support request. They've always been fair to me if I've had a problem. I remember having a few "no more keys" issues with Steam, too ... they always get to me eventually, usually after a couple days. Still, that is a very irritating thing to experience. I've been there. Nothing like parting with your money and getting nothing but a "oops, sorry, ran outta keys!" message. I wish they'd warn you before you buy.

I think Precursors points the way to this genre making a come back to the mainstream of gaming just making another Elite/Wing Commander clone is not going have much of an impact on the majority of gamers. Just look at Mass Effect if it didnΓƒΖ’Γ†β€™Γƒβ€šΓ‚Β’ΓƒΖ’Γ‚Β’ΓƒΒ’Γ’β€šΒ¬Γ…Β‘Γƒβ€šΓ‚Β¬ΓƒΖ’Γ‚Β’ΓƒΒ’Γ’β€šΒ¬Γ…ΒΎΓƒβ€šΓ‚Β’t have that bolt on 3rd person shooter would it have been half as popular as it is with the console crowd.
