spore is released

[Akubane]

Yeah it's good for sure. I put myself into a compulsive habbit of hitting ctrl + s every time i see space pop up (save) so no problems with losing anything. The game either has a real problem with vista x64 or intel quads.
I'm kindas leaning towards it having a problem with quads. Did a small trial yesterday to test the theory out.
Started the game as usual, played for about 30 min, crash. Started it again, made it about an hour and 1/4, crash. Started it again, alt + tab, set core affinity to 2, played for another 8 or 9 hours no crashes ;/
That's nothing diffinitive but it throws up some red flags ;p Goo ea! /sarcasm

Game's crazy addictive. I just wish it were a bit longer, badge wise. it didn't take all that long to max out the badge meter. meh XD

the game has alot more piotential that is for sure i am very addicted to it, and akubane i havent had it crash one for me and im on an ocd quad core, maybe it with vista 64 as im on xp32.

Hasn't crashed on my system either... I *acquired* a copy of it...gonna pick up a copy soon probably. Very very fun! And it even kept my monsters I made in Creature Creator, so w00t for that. Here's my creature I made so far:

im gonna restart tho,

 

[carnageX]

Lol actually its just 'Blastuore' the 'cre' is just part of the filename (must stand for 'creature' I assume).

 

[Akubane]

yeah its more than likely a vista thing. the whole bloody internet is in an uproar about it lol. just search spore crash. its a bit ridiculous. oh well no biggie, seems my problem is solved by lowering the core affinity ;p
yeah it could have been 10x the game it is. its a good way to kill a couple hours though ^_^

 

[Wildside]

does Spore support DX10.1 Akubane?

 

[Akubane]

i doubt it even supports dx10. and if it does, i can't tell. graphically its nothing fancy at all. but it's that cartoony-ness that's half the attraction i think. dx10 on that game would just be a waste of effort better spent fixing some of the bugs.

Just picked my copy up today, it's a really awesome game. Got about 2 hours in, but it's midnight now so I gotta hit the sack.
