hi all. I just installed and played for a few hours the 2.3 dev version. first of all, I think the version i took from a link presented in this forum may be outdated, 'cause the textures on most 3D objects (weapons, soldiers etc) aren't showing properly, making the whole stuff plain ugly. I ignored that and played nonetheless, but was halted by serious crashes when entering all snow covered maps. Since my principal bases are located in siberia and groenland, i called it a day.
What i wanted to know is : are these issues related to my version of the file ? (file : ufoai-2.3-dev-win32) Is it worthwile for you and me to report exactly what bugs I encountered or have they been fixed long ago ? If the topic is not relevant, feel free to dispose of it.
Otherwise, the game experience is pretty much the same as in 2.2 but i found the new features on the geoscape just great. Interception got a lot funnier too ! The UT consumption is still imbalanced between movement and gunshots, making it impossible to cover medium distances between buildings and keep a few units to backfire at enemies, but it's just my personnal opinion. Otherwise the new dynamic lightings (rockets...) are great. I loved the new alien dissection pictures too.
Even if i couldn't play much on this dev version, i think the game is heading toward excellency as it goes. Keep up the good work !
