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 forgetMerry Christmass to everyone :D :D :D :D :D

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 oktry this out if your having problems with gamersgate versionn VIDEOOPTIONS.ini change these values to the following:SMOOTHFPS=1RENDERLAG=1LIMITFPS=60DISABLE_ROTATION_MOTION_BLUR=1in CONTROLSETTINGS.INI, change these values to the following:Keyboard Sensitivity=0.000000After 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

Write protection on or something else in Windows 7 messing file access up?

I can quick save, but I can't load quicksaves until I am in the game, and I hate going through the ridiculous intro every time!
What intro? You can load quicksaves like regular saves on my system...

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

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.

The space section is the weakest part of the game and looks pretty much unfinished, I don’t know how many time I’ve been flown into a planet when doing those escort missions. :roll:

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 didn’t have that bolt on 3rd person shooter would it have been half as popular as it is with the console crowd.

Hello GrubeIs that the one where you are given the option to work for the Empire or the Brotherhood IIRC I think you had to goto the station first.

I can land on the space station Pandora nearby but its just for upgrades no other conversation is available.The spaceport of Imperial Military Base Moroto,and the Free Merchants base on Readore are listed as Unavailable to me.I am totally confused what to do.I helped a freight transport bound for Readore but it accomplished nothing for my mission to Readore.Nevermind I found A-Z on the space station and completed the mission,Thanks

GFI are the morons responsible for screwing up the precusors localization. They are why we have so many damn posts on how to fix the english version of the game. everyone at GFI should be donkey punched.

Well, at least, there are no missing strings in their translation (finished game that way, without wesp5 work), like in White Gold localization.

No, he mediates for the civilians. As I don't know if the Amarns and the hunters are connected to the civilian faction status, I will have him improve their relation too in the upcoming patch. After all you pay enough ;)!
