Dawn of Discovery is Fun!

By Island Dog on July 20, 2009 5:22:57 PM from JoeUser Forums JoeUser Forums

I have been a big fan of the Anno series since the beginning, so I was very excited to hear about Dawn of Discovery, and even more excited when I found out it was coming to Impulse.

Right now I’m playing through the campaign, but the open gameplay is also very fun.

If you press F1, you can go into a “postcard” mode which will take some beautiful screenshots as shown below.

Dawn of Discovery is an excellent game...  for the first 3 hours of a new game.  This is about the time that you cap your technology and upgradability.  All it is at this point of the game is escessive resource micromanagement.  The game is absolutely beautiful and has tons of potential, but gets incredibly dull after that 3 hour window closes.

turns out it's a problem with my sound blaster x-fi fatal1ty pro xtreme gamer card.  when I disable it in device manager, the game works fine (but without sound).  Tried latest driver and roll back driver, same problem.  Obviously I'd like to play with sound.  Anyone heard of a fix for this? 

thanks

Best thing would probably be to use Google to find others with the same problem and their solutions.

Creative hardware is awesome, but their drivers aren't the best. When you find one that works, stick with it.
