Alt+tabbed out to write this, no problem.

Cant take a screenshot in the game with 'Print Screen'. Trying to paste it in either Photoshop or MSpaint it just comes up as a black window.
The 'Take Photo' button dont work (nothing happens?)

Re: Engine Designer Demo - OFFICIAL BUGS THREAD

I will note that when Daffy showed us some videos on the Livestream, they too clipped at the end. Perhaps an end-of-video splash so we know it's finished?

Not exactly a bug with the game, but AVG Internet security 2012 gives a false positive on the launcher and gave me some problems when i downloaded the launcher by deleting it. Just temporarely disable AVG until it's downloaded and added to exeption list

Re: Engine Designer Demo - OFFICIAL BUGS THREAD

Sadly, the demo won't go past the launcher on my XP machine. Will make it into the game on my Windows 7 machine, but not all the options are available once in there. For example, there are almost no options to choose in the "exhaust" tab, and several missing in the other tabs.

I can get into the game but the gameplay is PAINFULLY slow, scenarios won't load, crashes when I try to select a piston type.

Not playable on my old 1024x768 screen. The minimum display resolution seems to be higher.
Works ok with an other display.

Re: Engine Designer Demo - OFFICIAL BUGS THREAD

my computer shuts down due to overheating.
I tested on my work machine (3d cad drawing "autodesk inventor") HP EliteBook 8740w - and have never had that problem before.
but noted that the machine was surprisingly hot .. .

this machine runs smoothly BF3 and Skyrim.

But I will test tomorrow morning on my game machine ..(my game machine is a real desktop. not portable/movable like my work computer)

it is possible overheating can be caused by other problems .. but will check a bit further out tomorrow .. as I planning to use all of tomorrow to test the game

insanely great game ..
Love the game .. :)

Re: Engine Designer Demo - OFFICIAL BUGS THREAD

Minor scoring issue in scenarios - power possibly not scored correctly.

Engine 1:
300 hp peak
Very good powerband, lots of smooth power all through the revs.

Engine 2:
301 hp peak
Terrible powerband, peaky and very little power at all other revs. Consistently 20 hp down on Engine 1 until race cam kicks in.

Engine 1 still scores higher on the power criteria. This is technically correct... But not ideal. Hopefully you can see what I'm getting at. I mean no disrespect to you guys or the fantastic work that you've done, but this seems a little... broken.

Thanks
