DLCs

With a current sale I can get the game and its Expansions & DLCs for a decent enough price.

Though since I'll only be playing by myself, I was thinking wondering which DLCs add campaign missions or the like?

Escalation - Multiplayer desyncs?

A few friends and myself have picked this back up after not playing for a while, and we're getting "Host Migration" messages, about 30-45 minutes in, and ultimately "Host Migration Failed" and we have to quit.

We're playing on larger maps, 10-14 players, with 3 human players and the rest AI.

Is anyone else seeing this at all? Any ideas on fixes?

network latency is good as far as I can tell, reinstalled the game, computer reboots all around, router reboots, so we've taken care of the usual troubleshooting methods.

Can't play any campaign missions

I'm looking for any kind of help or information on this issue. Any time I try to start a campaign mission it starts right up, but immediately get suck on the cutscenes. All the AI controlled units are moving around and I can hear the dialogue but can't do much else besides hit the escape button and exit out of the mission. I've tried to search up any fix but can't find anything on it, I've legit been trying to play this game for years now, send help.... and memes.

Playing on PC Game pass.

Joining Lobby screen

Hi.

Having an issue on PC / Steam where by we are creating a private game and inviting via steam to join a lobby but cannot join. Both receipient and I have validated files and tried hosting vice versa. We cannot seem to join each other to play a game.

This screen below is all I see. I checked with Antivirus but no evidence of it being blocked. I cannot see any other online matches.

We then created a public match, I can view it and can click on join match but it repeats with a long wait time of just seeing the new window pop up saying "Joining Lobby" and feels like it goes no-where.

Game always dead

idk if its just me but ive always wanted to play ashes of the singularity with a decent sized playerbas, but from the stream charts this game never ever picked up in player count (except for 1 month in 2022) to make it so u could actually play against similar skilled oponents without fighting the exact same few

So is it just me or is this game and always has been or am i missing something

100% CPU Usage and Artifacting

Build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/XpTZNc

I returned my 6950XT for a 6800XT since my 6950XT was defective. I used DDU to install my 6800XT and uninstall my 6950XT drivers. I was getting artifacting issues with my 6950XT and still am now with my 6800XT. I saw other people are having these issues too, so I guess it’s the game at this point. My artifacting looks almost identical to this video at this time stamp: https://youtu.be/1gOCe4CVzI4&t=4m25s

Also, I’m getting 100% CPU usage with my 6800XT even though I didn’t get anywhere near that much with my 6950XT. All my settings are identical as is my Windows installation. This doesn’t affect the game itself, but it makes my recordings get stuck which makes sense. Would a slightly weaker GPU really make my CPU usage shoot up to 100% somehow? I don’t understand why that would affect the CPU usage and all.

Need help on Silgul - Hard

Hey there

I've made my way through the campaign on hard difficulty up to Silgul - Hunters, and I have absolutely no idea how to do it (didn't have much trouble on normal difficulty though)

I kinda sorta keep up with the AI up to 6k army, at which point I have a few Zeus and Athenas, I can destroy maybe one or two assaults until I basically have nothing left and they get around 20k with armies bigger than what I just destroyed (while I haven't rebuilt yet of course). Meanwhile my allies don't do much or get destroyed...

I don't feel like tryharding this much, I think I'll pass this one, but I wanted to know if there's a viable strategy for this one ? The only video I found is from an older version of the game, where frigates don't come in squads, and the AI attacks differently. Am I supposed to rush the optional objective, spam air units and hope I don't get sniped by anti-air ? Or is it one of those missions where the AI deliberately makes mistakes like not building anti-air at all and I just need to spam bombers ?

I'm getting artifacting in just this game. Is this a problem with my GPU?

This is my build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/CfHsGL

I'm getting artifacting issues in Ashes of the Singularity as seen here. I haven't noticed artifacting in any of the other 30-40 benchmarks or games I tried, but I wasn't completely looking at all of the benchmarks like Time Spy and all. Is this a game-specific issue or should I RMA my GPU? I uninstalled my GPU driver with DDU, and the problem is still persisting. I OCd my GPU, but the problem is also persisting even at stock settings. I looked up this issue, and I found one post that said MSAA and DX12 were causing issues. I disabled these settings, but the problem is persisting.

I tried out benchmarks that should be more intensive like Time Spy, FurMark, and Unigine Superposition, though I wasn’t completely paying attention to those. I’ll try those again and see how they are. I tried out theoretically more intensive games though like Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, Control, and Resident Evil Village and definitely didn’t notice any artifacting

I watched some videos which seem to be having the same issues. Here's one with a 3080Ti, another one with a 3090, and another one with a 4090. Are all of our GPUs failing, or is this just a problem with this game?

Can a steam user play online with someone who has the game on gamepass?

Recently a friend of mine who has gamepass got a PC. Ashes is available to him but I was wondering if we would be able to play online. My copy is on steam. I have done some research but have not found an answer.

issues with multiplayer

I've recently gotten Ashes and I'm a noob. I got a copy for a mate and when we try and get into multiplayer it was working. When either of us set up a multiplayer private match we couldn't see the match on the server browser.

If someone could point me to a video where I can learn about setting up matches in multiplayer on Ashes I would appreciate it.

BUG - Units not responding

I'm currently playing a multiplayer game with some friends and everybody except the host can't command their units. Selecting the units and rightclicking somewhere just play a sound and then nothing happen. In addition to that we can't buy upgrade quanta updates. The sound that an upgrade has been bought plays but it doesn't apply the upgrade. Is this a known bug and is there a fix we could apply while still in game, without having to quit the current round?

Got bored and made a map

It's not too fancy, but it's similar to the 2 maps I made that ended up in one of the DLC packs.

Volcanic terain 12 player tri lane map with a central bit of terrain to tie each lane together.

Will this game ever have a sequel or more story campaigns?

Discovered this game about a month ago and I've fallen in love with it. Played dozens of hours already, which is much more time than I typically spend on videogames. The campaigns in particular are really fun for me - I'm not sure what, but something about them just feels really special. I'm on the last level of Genesis and, while I'm looking forward to trying out the standalone single-player scenarios, the campaign story has me hooked and I'd love to see where it goes after this. Which brings me to the question in my title. Anyone have insight into this?

Returning Player - AI Noctis Turtle

I just came back to this game after a several year break. Playing on Normal at the moment and this mission was a tough one. I got it my second try by getting my trinium levels to max but I kept assaulting the enemy base and they were insanely turtled! I couldn't breach it no matter what.

It seems their drones kept wecking my forces as I approached. Is there a counter to these?

Does the AI always get this turtly? It's going to be very tedious if that's the case. When I finally got to see their base, every square inch of it was covered in a structure of some sort. Holy crap.

Hello all. Just got the game, played through the tutorials, and I just finished the 'brain whale' mission.

I followed the guidance prompts as best I understood, failed multiple times, only barely won when I finally beat it, and I'm still not sure what I did right or wrong. Am I completely dense or is this an intentionally difficult mission? Confused as to why it's one of the first missions after the tutorial. Genuinely baffled.

Ashes just stops utilizing gpu/cpu game crawls

Like the title says, the issue isn't that there isn't enough resources. At a certain point on bigger maps/Lots of units its like ashes just says well I am going to stop using the gpu and lower my usage of the CPU and just crawl. No setting makes a difference. Like I said it isn't a lack of resources, it is just that the game stop uses them.

Looking for custom maps

Is there a place we can download custom maps? I have found a few places from years ago but nothing recently or more than a couple. Thanks.
