Re: The beginning of an RPG resurgence?

The Pathfinder MMO has me less than excited. I feel like the MMO gameplay style is overdone at the moment. For people who enjoy soloing, games like Grimrock and Wasteland offer a much more rewarding experience because they focus on the single player story. Star Wars: Old Republic is a hybrid, and fa...

The beginning of an RPG resurgence?

Anyone else noticed the mouse look feature?

While adventuring, hold down right mouse button in the field of view and move the mouse. Feels like you're in a true 3D (not grid) game!

Re: D3DError - D3DXCompileShader failed

So, earlier when trying to get LoG to work with Steam, something interrupted the LoG install. The game wouldn't launch and I was getting errors that looked like DirectX errors and also looked like the game was using DirectX 9. The DirectX 9 files are the ones which use "9" and then the lat...

Re: XAudio2 error in XAudio2Create

I have noticed a few errors in the game related to DirectX install issues. These aren't the fault of Almost Human, but usually result from an incomplete or failed DirectX install.
