submit to reddit

  • everytime i change the file aidifficulty.galaxy to 1 so the ai will get same mineral amount as me and wont have some giant advantage it keeps automatically changing back to 2. i keep hitting save i check it afterwards but as soon as i scout in the beginning(im terran hes toss each time for practice) he has an expo and 3 gateways and cybernetics then i like at the file it says the cheat mode was at 2. is there any way i can fix this??

  • fyi - i am using the Starcraft 2 Valkyrie Beta Launcher if that means anything. on insane difficulty
    + after playing again on medium difficulty it stayed at 1. does this have to do with the difficulty and the launcher? this is my new thought but i wanted to make sure

    thanks

  • I've just run some tests and found that this is caused by the valkyrie launcher changing the mineral rate when the difficulty is set to insane.

    If you select very hard instead the resulting AIDifficulty.galaxy file has c_mineralBonus set to 1.

    Please let me know if this helps.

  • Maybe just try having the aidifficulty.galaxy file read only? That way the launcher shouldn't be able to change it :)

  • No, as I have the exact same problem I tried and the only result is that the launcher wouldn't launch anything, just showing me a error message.

    As soon as I uncheck the read only option, the game works again but with the mineral changing to x2 again :/

    And I play on easy level

  • Alright so I have tested all difficulty levels and yes the problem comes from there.

    On insane, mineral bonus x2
    On very hard, mineral bonus x1
    On hard, mineral bonus x2
    On medium, mineral bonus x1
    On easy, mineral bonus x2
    On very easy, mineral bonus x1

    So, turdburgler if you read me, you should change that in 7.1 ;)
    And for now, we know what difficulty levels we should play if we don't want the AI having the bonus ;)

  • Oh, now that really would explain, why the AI makes such a huge advancement from very easy to easy. I constantly got my ass kicked. I´m working on my early game at the moment, and the AI just always outnumbers me badly.

  • If you could try all the difficulties and then post back how hard you think they are we can get them changed in he launcher so that the match what they are.

    Example

    1= Veryeasy -- 5=Very hard:
    very hard=5
    hard=4
    medium=2
    easy=3
    very easy=1
