New version of Hinterland up on Steam

[Jeff Fiske]

A new version of Hinterland is on steam now, for testing only. Not much difference, but the bugs with humans should be taken care of, as should any inability to finish a game.

Please enter any bugs in ET- or at least put them in the tech forum. You can assign any bugs to me.

Known issues-
Exploit with upgrading manor.
Please ignore the Got Game screen if you see it.


Enjoy.

I cannot download this on my laptop. Give me a few minutes to give my small human a bath and I'll post my dxdiag. Just seems that download does not happen at all for some reason. not even fragments of files or anything found.

Nice. I'll get right to testing this coming Friday and the weekend.

Will grab it in a bit thanks Jeff
Ok first thoughts play Orcs again though I know the maps are random the first two maps had way more skeltons (not meat there) than earlier maps. The skeltons were in 3 out of 4 of the level 1 sites since food is always a issue with orcs in the early game this is an issue

Can someone tell my small brain how to find a dxdiag on vista? <grumbles> I hate vista!!!!

[vic_4]

start and type in search Dxdiag.

Thanks!

Steam download of Hinterland beta does not work.

aramann, that's a problem of Steam and files there, not with your laptop...

[mouse]

aramann nothing to do with Steam but you might want to update your video and sound drivers Steam must have gone down because I didn't have any trouble getting Hinterland update this morning.

[aramann]

Thanks mouse - it's brand new so haven't really updated much of anything yet. I'll get on it though!

I've tried several times to download beta to this. I can get the original game, just not beta.

And yes, each time i have deleted every bit of the regular hinterland.

[mouse]

Hmmm that's strange can't imagine what's blocking it but Vista is still mostly a strange land to me

[tobing]

It's not Vista, I have XP and can't get HL beta, only the normal Hinterland version. On the other PC, I already have Hinterland beta, and update works. So there's a problem that only affects the initial download.

I also can't seem to download the beta. I reinstalled Steam for an unrelated issue and now I can't get the beta to reinstall, only the released version.

Do I need another key or something? Or is this entirely on their end.

On a random note. Is anyone else unable to see their community page?

[tobing]

Well, I can see my community page, and yours, too. Playing Left 4 Dead?

[aeval99]

Nope. My partner in crime is working.

I haven't been able to get to my community page in steam for over a week now. The only way I can get to my profile page is to do a search form someone on my friends list, and then click on my name on their page.

Grrrrr!!

[aramann]

This is definitely frustrating....
