Hi all,

Just started with alpha 11 (I know alpha 12 is the latest one) . Tried to find an easy game, didn't one in which the AI will be weak and you have all the time in the world to win.

There is serious lag on alpha 11 on my system. I have no idea if the game does honor the settings in ~/.config/0ad or not. These are my settings there.

As shared in my sig. these are my system details :-

Intel Dual-Core CPU E5400 (soc 775) @ 2.70GHz, Asus MB P5KPL-AM IN (Intel G31), D-Link 502-T router, 64-bit Debian Wheezy, GNOME 3.6 fallback.

I do hope to get alpha 12 running soon (it's stuck right now in ftp-master new queue) http://ftp-master.de...a_0.0.12-1.html

Looking forward for any help or any clue.

Edit: Also have seen this http://www.wildfiregames.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=16991 . Guess would just have to wait patiently.

There are no scenarios where "you have all the time in the world to win." You have to build up quickly at the start or you'll be overwhelmed.

Qbot are aleady easy for me, in tuto videos you can learn to be quick.

You can just set the AI to Unassigned :) You will not get any resistance, but if you just want to play around with resource gathering and training units/constructing buildings it could still be fun :)
