Nothing would make me happier than to do this...

However, the innocent would also be affected which is a no go in my book.

With this short of seasons, I feel like we can ride this one out as is.

First of all I want to thank everyone that gave valuable input to us on this latest AvA iteration. I feel like we addressed a few of the major issues surrounding the AvA ruleset and we are looking forward to seeing how those tweaks play out in the next few seasons.

I did want to address a few issues that we saw during the weekend.

1) The Stockpile Resource BP. This was an oversight by us. We meant to remove this from the game, but instead we only removed the ability to research this item. This gave certain agencies over the weekend a huge advantage over newly participating agencies. This was not intended, however there is not a good way to fix it for the weekend season zones.

We have removed these blueprints from all agencies going forward so that we can eliminate the impact that those specific blueprints will have on the weekday zones.

2) HQ Moving - We are going to add a buildup timer to moving the HQ intra-zone. It will be 1 hour. New HQ placements are not impacted.

3) Tier 2 and Tier 3 facilities. We are looking at reducing the research required to move up through the tiers. We feel that with the new season length the requirements may be too high atm.

4) End of season rewards. Even though we made forward progress in rewarding individuals for playing AvA matches and have unique items being given to the agencies for placing in the season, there is more we want to do. One thing we are contemplating is giving loot to every agent in the winning agencies at each season end. Just wanted to give a heads up that this is an on going concern to make sure we are properly rewarding the participants. (This may even go deeper than the agencies that get special flair, such as a consolation prize to everyone involved...)

5) After all of the zones close this season we will be resetting all resources prior to the next season (i.e. deleting all ava components, bp, and facilities). All finished goods will be carried over from season to season. Our goal here is to make each season a full "net worth" reset and all agencies on an equal playing field.

The current plan is this will happen on the AvA off day (Friday August 27th).

Thanks again for helping us move forward in a positive way!

** Locked Because I Think We Fixed This **

Please make a new thread if you see it again.

^^ This ^^

Or I'll lock it.

It seemed like it was very much about 4-man queues, and all those threads have come to life today despite the fact that it's been spoken to directly at this point.

I moved it here so you can keep complaining if you want, though.

I was attempting to dissuade rage.

The official answer for now:

Hey,
Please Verify your game files for me.

Through Steam:
Go to Steam
Find Global Agenda in My Games
Right click and select Properties
Select the "Local Files" tab
Choose "Verify integrity of game cache..."

Through the Hi-Rez Patcher:
Open the Hi-Rez Updater Service
Click Options
Select the game version(Live or Public Test)
Click Validate Installation

Can you also get a screenshot of the crash report?

Friendly Reminder: The season is only 2 weeks long.

The shader system is different for rainbow dye I believe

I know this one is in the queue to be fixed.

You can't even imagine how much work it took to make the rainbow dye.

most likely that there will be a generation 2

Medium Security Special Ops missions have a variation of the map if you'd like to see it again.

In an effort to organize issues for specific maps, we are asking that you please report bugs here. If you would like to create a thread to discuss the reproduction steps or provide screenshots for any bugs found, please provide the link to the additional thread in your bug report here.

Thanks for a productive thread. Shutting it down. See quote below.

It's called a Boonie cap!

I believe solo expert is 50%/50% rare/epic

There was no change to the drops in any of the missions. The only change made was to give raids all Epic drops.

That's why they are bound now. When we change it to a single flair it will become available.

spec is something we are looking to display once we have profiles in

Here is how the system works:

- It's now much easier now to get good equipment to compete with

- It's harder now to get the absolute best equipment to compete with

I'd faint again, but I think I wanna login and play instead.

Reference

This should be mostly fixed after the 08/12 patch. We understand that this did not fix the problem for all users though and are still looking into those on a case by case basis.

Please provide us with the following information so we can properly analyze the problem:

-What kind of antivirus software do you have?

- What type of connection do you have? ( DSL, Cable, etc... )

- Are you connected through a public network such as a college campus?

- What region of the world are you located in?

- Are you connecting via a wireless connection, or plugged into the router?

Please do the following steps so we can analyze your connection support.

- Open a command prompt
(If you are on XP: Select Start - Run - Type CMD; If you are on Vista/Win7: Start - Type CMD)

- At the command prompt type tracert inapatl.globalagendagame.com

Copy and paste this information into your reply and we can investigate further.

That error is actually a physx problem.

It looks like you missed the pre-requisite quest 'All that remains'. It was the one in the underground base when you had check on Dr. Sharma.(I tried to avoid spoilers!)

We tried to clean them up to reduce visual spam. If you see ones that don't look good let us know and we will check on them.

Is this still a problem after the 08/12 patch?

I'm also leaning towards video card drivers as a culprit. Our game reads the resolutions from what Windows reports your display can handle. If they aren't showing up, it would seem like your drivers got changed somehow and a lot of resolutions are being flagged as not supported for some reason.

At least, it's a theory .

This issue should be fixed now. Please let us know if it is still causing problems!

Try this please .

1) Fully exit Steam, including from the Windows Task bar

2) Using Windows Explorer, go to the root Steam directory. For most people, this is C:\PROGRAM FILES\STEAM

3) Delete the following files: "AppUpdateStats.blob" and "ClientRegistry.blob".

4) Restart Steam

This man speaks the truth.
The restrictions we have are account based, not client based. The demo client will work sufficiently provided you use an activated account.

Yes, if you want the 'perfect' weapon with 2% extra damage it does require more work then before, but if you want the 'almost perfect' weapon then it takes less effort then before.

Hey,

Can you try restarting Steam and see if that removes the demo from your list?

Thanks,
Remy

I don't think the players that refer to the 'grind' are looking at the basic weapons for 1000 credit.

I think there is a misconception about using tokens and getting loot being a bigger grind then before to get to the same level of equipment which is false.

It's 2 seconds of additional damage instead of 3 seconds of additional damage. The additional damage per second was not changed.

Yes.

I told them it might be worth it to check the thingamawhoozit next.

They did not think it was funny.

I'm making this up as i go at this point.

I am not the decision-maker, and it's a patch day. I'm not asking right now.

I didn't say it was completely off the table, but I didn't not say it either.

I think it's fair to remember that when Warzones were first announced, a monthly subscription was going to be required to play the functionality.

Now that we have dropped the subscription requirement totally from the game and offered the full current contents free after the one-time purchase price, we are relying on occasional paid expansions to continue growing the game. For most players, this should be much more affordable (i.e., cost you less money -- not more) than it would under a subscription model to access the same content.

If you aren't auto-updating from the Steam, the first thing to try is to fully exit Steam (including from the Windows task bar). Wait one minute. Then re-launch Steam and launch Global Agenda through it.

If the game is still now updating, try these more aggressive steps:

1) Fully exit Steam, including from the Windows Task bar

2) Using Windows Explorer, go to the root Steam directory. For most people, this is C:\PROGRAM FILES\STEAM

3) Delete the following files: "AppUpdateStats.blob" and "ClientRegistry.blob".

4) Restart Steam

5) Launch the game.

Hmmm. We definitely want to understand what's happening here.

If possible, can you hit the OPTIONS button then OPEN LOG DIRECTORY.

There should be a list of log files. If you can paste the contents of the newest one to this thread or email to globalagendasupport@hirezstudios.com that would be very helpful!

thanks and sorry for the problems.

I'm all for having hope, but people seem to be overlooking the purpose of the statement.

There is a patch today. See how PvP feels after you play it.

Update: The graphical error has been entered into the bug fix queue. I don't know if they will actually be changed to a free-trade item because of the reasons in the quotes above along with some others.

The Euro Zone is open from 18:00 to 23:00 (6PM to 11PM) in the UK, and 19:00 to Midnight CEST. (In Moscow, it is 21:00 to 02:00).

Prime Time (Region #3) would be 20:00 to 21:00 in the UK and 21:00 to 22:00 CEST (23:00 to Midnight in Moscow).

We could make the start up to an hour later (that would mean the zone would not close until 01:00 CEST). If people feel that's something they want, you should create a petition in the AvA forums and see if you can build a consensus before the start on Saturday.

Turning the enemy team's turrets into a metal band would probably distract both teams, so it would only be useful if you were on defense.

That's why I thought of an animal name.
