Agreed. I have AI pathfinding issues with Benny Warfare on this island. It's a great addon. Any chance of an update to some of the issues detailed in this thread soon?

Fantastic work and a great island. I'm not sure how I missed this one but I'm glad I found it.

Thank you ACE devs for all of your hard work, persistence, and a great program!

I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or not but I'm trying to create a scenario based on the OA mod with Takistan vs. US Army but all I get for units for both sides is air and artillery units. There are no squads/vehicles/armor available to pick from. Is this correct? Oops, nevermind, found it. I always thought the bar at the top represented how far along you were in the build process not the unit browser.

I have the encountered the same issue. There's no error when it disappears so I'm not sure what the issue is. Windows 7 - 64-bit.

Yeah, I heard that same thing when I called a local GameStop store. I finally cancelled both of my A2:AO orders at GameStop and placed the orders at GoGamer.com. One of them has already shipped.

I looked directly at my order and it said "Pre-Order Shipping 7/6/2010" when it had said 6/29/2010. I just checked it again and now it says "Backordered". I placed the order a little over a month ago.

GameStop showed a release date of 6/29/10 up until today. Now it shows 7/6/10. It's rather annoying that they couldn't send an e-mail to announce the change rather than me not getting the copy and having to see what happened. Update - I cancelled the GameStop order and placed it with GoGamer.com because they showed it available and shipping within 24 hours but after placing the order it's now showing as "On Hold" with no explanation.

Nice, thanks. Just pre-ordered it.

Great question. Also is the release date of July 11th correct (for the U.S. I assume) as well?

I knew this series was in trouble even before it aired when the producers said "this is not your fathers Stargate". This is always a receipe for disaster like "new" Coke. It's basically a "bait and switch" situation. To me it would be like ArmA3 being a knockoff of the cartoony Team Fortress 2. I watched Stargate because it was Stargate. Call the series something other than Stargate because the gate itself is about the only thing the two have in common. Maybe Battlestar Galactica lite would be a better title? I've read many interviews with the producers and they are planning on turning the series on its head.

It's due to stability mostly and the number of companies that wrote their code to work with Nvidia products. If Nvidia starts to suck, then I'm gone for sure.

I agree and did consider the source. Thought I'd throw it out there for discussion/consideration. I'm a lifelong fan of Nvidia products.

Nvidia kills GTX285, GTX275, GTX260, abandons the mid and high end market Provided by: Semiaccurate http://www.3dgameman.com/news/2009/10/06/nvidia-kills-gtx285-gtx275-gtx260-abandons-mid-and-high-end-market NVIDIA IS KILLING the GTX260, GTX275, and GTX285 with the GTX295 almost assured to follow as Nvidia abandons the high and mid range graphics card market. Due to a massive series of engineering failures, nearly all of the company's product line is financially under water, and mismanagement seems to be killing the company. Not even an hour after we laid out the financial woes surrounding the Nvidia GTX275 and GTX260, word reached us that they are dead. Normally, this would be an update to the original article, but this news has enough dire implications that it needs its own story. Nvidia is in desperate shape, whoop-ass has turned to ash, and the wagons can't be circled any tighter. Word from sources deep in the bowels of 2701 San Tomas Expressway tell us that the OEMs have been notified that the GTX285 is EOL'd, the GTX260 is EOL in November or December depending on a few extraneous issues, and the GTX275 will be EOL'd within 2 weeks. I would expect this to happen around the time ATI launches their Juniper based boards, so before October 22. The lone survivor, maybe, is the GTX295, available only as a complete board from Nvidia. This is said to be almost impossible to get, likely for reasons we went into in the earlier financial article, cost. AIBs do not expect this product to last very long, likely until current stock is depleted. Basically, engineering failure after engineering failure has left Nvidia without a high end part, they are left waving shells while trying desperately to convince the loyal press that it is real. While that is a problem for the future, the current concern is that they have nothing that can compete with the ATI's Evergreen line, HD5870, HD5850, and the upcoming Junipers. The G200b based parts can compete on performance, but not at a profit, so they are going to die. Nvidia was booted out of the high end market, and are now abandoning the mid range in a humbling retreat. Expect a similar backpedaling from the rest in January when Cedar and Redwood come out. There are no half or quarter Fermi derivatives taped out yet, so at a bare minimum, Nvidia has nothing for 2 more quarters. To make matters worse, due to the obscene 530++mm^2 die size on TSMC's 40nm process, Fermi is almost twice the size of its competitor, Cypress/HD5870/HD5850. A cut down half version would cost less but still be barely competitive with Juniper. That chip would once again be vastly larger and more expensive than the ATI equivalents, and that is before board costs are examined. As the product stack waterfalls down, the ratios remain the same, Nvidia cannot be cost competitive for the Evergreen vs Fermi generation, period. Massive engineering failures and cover-ups, starting with Bumpgate, have defined the company for the last two years. More recently, this includes the G212 failure, G214 fiasco and failure, now morphed into the G215 which is 3Q late so far, if it can ever be made profitably, and the G216 and G218 with the broken GDDR5 controllers. One or two failures are understandable, this many is flat out mismanagement. As we have been saying all along, there is no savior chip, no plan B, they all failed. Nvidia can make chips and sell them at a loss, or retreat from those markets and lose less money. The only question now is whether or not they can fix their engineering problems and get competitive parts out before they run out of cash. Given that the earliest that this can happen is next summer, it will be very touch and go. Nvidia has alienated anyone who could be their friend, spawned needless lawsuits that very likely drive the company to a net negative value, and failed to sell the company while it still had a perception of worth. If you ask them, Nvidia will tell you that it is boldly turning itself into a vibrant GPU compute and cell phone chip giant. Should you want to remain in their good graces, this is not to be perceived as an exit strategy. With the cancellation of the GTX285, GTX275, and GTX260, possibly the GTX295 too, Nvidia is abandoning the entire high end and mid-range graphics market. Expect a reprise in January on the low end. The company is badly mismanaged and hated by the very partners they need to throw them a life preserver. The only thing that can save them now is a wholesale replacement of top management. Sadly, the only people with enough shareholder leverage to do so are those very managers that need to go, so that is very unlikely. Unless there is a white knight or buyer in the wings, it is game over. At $1/year, Jen-Hsun is overpaid.
