BI demo in PC Gamer !!!

[SpencerH]

Hello again

Just an update.

I loaded RTW and made sure that the BI demo was set up with the same settings. Loaded the night battle up again and the same graphic problem happened. It is like sheets of light appearing from the sky to the ground. It worries me a little at the moment but I am sure once I get the full BI expansion that someone else will have found and resolved the problem.

It sounds reminiscent of the strobe effects we had with fire arrows in the original demo.

Oh yea i remeber that, i have the demo and everything looks good at the moment, i ecspecially love the shield wall i think it looks great. The schiltron formation is good as well.

It's no bug. He took a unit that could not swim and ordered it into the water. That's what happens when you order a heavily armored unit to try and swim. Can't blame CA for his tactical failure.

Exactly. Hold Position comes to mind.

About the flash of light, that's usually an ATI card problem due to missing gloss textures. Havent had a problem with the full version though, and i have reflections/glints on my radeon 9700 Pro.

Would CA have a problem if someone hosted the demo for a download of the internet? Or can they not because of legality issues?

What legality issues?!

[King Ragnar]

By they i ment the person who would host it on the internet, and by legality i ment things like unourtharised reproduction cpyright etc.

CA and PC Gamer have an agreement that PC Gamer gets the demo exclusively but they won't get in trouble if someone hosts it. Of course PC Gamer could get pissed but the days of Exclusive demos are pretty much over anyway and I think we need rebel against this exclusive deals whenever possible so the few remaining companies realize that exclusives are totally stupid and only make the company look bad because nobody respects the exclusive deals.

So does anyone think it would be wise if i host it or should i not?
