Echoes 1.02

True..... but also in space you couldn't hear the explosions but that would just be boring 

That's why i don't like much realistic games. Many of my friends get excited about real-like phisics or outstanding video definition but I think that a game does not need incredible phisics, graphics or sounds. It just has to be fun.

Physics I agree with.  The physics like those used in Crackdown make the game much better than realistic physics ever would be.  Excellent game and huge fun.

Wow I have only 18% zoots lol. I'll have to work harder

[The DarkStar]

I don't understand...
There are 10 zoots that can be achieved in 3 difficulties, that means 30 zoots in all. 15 zoots should be the 50%.
I got 6 normal zoots and 2 easy zoots
6 * 2 + 2 * 1 = 14
but my progress rate is 36%... mh...

Let me explain

There are really only 10 zoots.  They can be completed on one of 3 difficulties but only the hardest difficulty you have achieved counts.

The amount the Zoot is worth depends on what difficulty you have completed it on (Easy=3%, Normal=5%, Hard=10%).  You can see from that, completing all Zoots on Hard will give you 100% even if you've never done a Zoot on Easy or Normal.

So in your case:
6 x Normal = 6 x 5% = 30%
2 x Easy = 2 x 3% = 6%
Total Progress = 30% + 6% = 36%

In reality it's a lot simpler than it might sound.

[The DarkStar]

So in your case:
6 x Normal = 6 x 5% = 30%
2 x Easy = 2 x 3% = 6%
Total Progress = 30% + 6% = 36%

i see. 10 normal zoots will unlock Crack then..

Man, this is such a load of B.S... it's STILL not working. I'm still getting the same god damn error followed by a CTD.

I suppose this problem will NEVER be fixed. So long, forever! And it's not like I have a crappy computer, I can run so many games at full potential.. Well, it IS my computer. You guys just will never fix it, because we're just a 'minority'. Luckily you guys are nice guys, good luck with the game.. I'm sure it's a blast!
