Quasi-Space Won't Work D: Help
« on: January 23, 2013, 09:05:03 pm »

Hi everyone! Thanks for stopping by.

Anyway, I have a severe issue with the game that I really don't understand. I can't tell if it is a bug or user error, though I'm guessing user error since I'm new and have not come across anyone else with the same problem.

When I try to enter Quasi-Space for the first time from Hyper Space, I can't. I go near the portal that appears on the 17th in Arilou space, and drive my ship into it. Then I am taken straight to the main menu, no dialogue, no special sounds, just straight to the menu.

Upon first researching why, it seemed it was because I hadn't actually heard of the portal in game (I observed it "north" of Circini on my own.) Then, I accidentally heard about it from someone in game and tried again (I forget who.) So, I tried again and the issue happened again. Next, I thought it was a save/time issue (I had only realized it in 2159, though the Kohr Ah hadn't started the death march yet.) I loaded a save from 2157 and it didn't work. Finally, I tried a new save and went there in 2155 after allying and talking to the Spathi about it. And still, I'm sent straight to the main menu.

Is this normal? What should I do?



I am using the HD Ur Quan Masters Mod, HiRes 2x graphics.

No, that's not normal. Are you using normal UQM or the HD mod? If it's the HD mod, it might be a bug specific to it.

I'm using the HD Mod, with HiRes 2x graphics. I'm going to edit the main post to have my system specs too, and if necessary I'll open up the debugger and post what it says.

That is a known issue with hires2x. Hires2x in general is horribly, horribly broken at the moment and you shouldn't use it. It will hopefully be fixed in the uqm-hd beta release sometime around March.

Aw, okay Sad . Thank you! I'll switch off of it.

Does it matter that it's HiRes 2x 3:4 version? That one doesn't say "VERY BUGGY"
Just curious.

Okay, I switched over to LoRes, but now I can't get into planetary orbit...

Yeah, poor guys with low res monitors, we'll get you fixed up soon.

There's a fix you can do listed here:

I'm gonna try this. Hopefully this works. I also might just hook up my laptop to a massively high res monitor.

Honestly, I'm really amazed at the lack of fatal bugs overall in the HD. I've only seen two.

Thanks for the help guys! I really appreciate being new to something and getting such great support Cheesy

A 1080p TV (1920x1080) will also work fine with hires4x (a 720p TV (1360x720) will not, however).
