Windows XP, Internet Explorer 7. Highest Quality, which my computer can apparantly handle from other games and earlier levels. Multiplayer Snow Pursuit.

For that matter, I probably shouldn't be reporting this, but the multiplayer server will auto-cycle through Full Version maps while playing the Lite Version maps. You still can't select them manually.

Internet Explorer 7 and Firefox, also Windows XP. Occasionally, joining a game will give you that game's window without you in it. The host also confirms you're not actually in the game.

Windows XP, Internet Explorer. Occasional multiplayer lockups, with a messagebox saying "too many heap sections". At least two computers.

Internet Explorer 7 and Window XP. Game will start for some people while others are still loading or "waiting for the host to start".

Whoops, left that first one unfinished. For the first two or three minutes, all enemy ships were invisible.

Reported that elsewhere, but for posterity's sake:

It nags me that the game
insists that I buy the full version, even when I'm logged in with my own account; (WinXP, Firefox)
denies me levels with the mark "full version only", even though I'm logged in with a full version account; (Windows download version)
generally becomes unplayable at hard level. You can't shoot enemies or repair fast enough to survive, period. Not even one of them. (WinXP, Firefox and download version)

Yep, thanks for your purchases guys. We've identified this problem and are currently fixing it. We'll let you know the second we've got new builds up for you to download.

Apologies for the launch bugs!

2 issues. I don't know if they are bugs but atleast for me it was unexpected behaviour:

After playing on my macbook I tried the game on my PC and my progress wasn't saved. I guess it saves it locally?

On my PC I choose the hard path on level 2. After completing that level I'm stuck.. Can't go back and take the easy route. Can't go forward unless I pay for full version.

Consider starting a new campaign.

Same deal here as Im2Good. Bought it, downloaded for Mac, logged in through the application version, and it still thinks I'm running the Lite version.

You don't let people download it if they haven't bought it, right? Why not make it automatically the full version and just require everyone to log in before they can play it?

Yep this is a known issue. We'll be putting up new builds later tonight that will unlock properly. Please re-download tomorrow! Thanks!

I played a 3 player game with yonis and a guest, with myself on the downloadable full version client on Mac (same specs I listed above) with yonis and the guest playing the web version, both on Windows running Firefox.

After a game of Into the Breach that went quite well, I started another game on Gathering Storm with the same group. Both of the people on Windows FF got fatal errors, here's what they said:

yes, i got a firefox error that stated that too many GC (garbage collection) calls had been made, and then firefox just completely seized up

TOO MANY HEAP SECTIONS?
FATAL ERROR FATAL ERROR FATAL ERROR
Got an error message.
Maybe we should have less heap sections.
Also firefox is appareantly frozen.
Major memory leak


Afterwards, I found that I could not play two successive games successfully in the downloadable client without relaunching in between each online game. If I tried to join a game my username usually wouldn't show up in the list.

Also if you hold two directions (like forward and left) you run 1.41x (√2) faster than just holding forward. Don't fix that though, I was barely able to complete the hardest campaign even with my slightly-faster-running!

I only did it on untested superstition during the hard campaign but once I was in multiplayer doing it I noticed I was running quite a bit faster than my allies.

Yonis said he fell through the ship on two separate nights playing multiplayer with him. First time he said he got "stuck on the wing" and the second he said he got "stuck in the floor again." Not sure how he did it.

Loving the game, but am I the only one that finds the "hard" paths to be somewhat impossible? I know I've seen some folks bragging about having won the hard ones, but I really can't imagine how they did it.

I managed all the demo ones with 80+ cargo. The key is to destroy a lot of planes (three or four, ideally) on their initial rush, and repair when needed whenever you can't hit them.

Also, my brother's game crashes as soon as it starts loading up (Windows XP, IE7 and Firefox). Mine doesn't with the same OS/browser.
