New update Released! (12- 21-2011)

[Chilko]

Hi everyone.

It has been some crazy few days for Bunch of Heroes with a ton of new players trying the game. Thanks a lot to all of you!
Due to popular demand, we have limited the re-spawning time for players, so those of you hunting for achievements will have an easier time. For those who enjoy a harder game, the insane difficulty mode is still a blast.

Here's the list of changes:

[CHANGELOG 12/21/2011]
Gameplay:
- Re-spawn time has been limited to 1 minute.
- Added Survival and Time attack leaderboards
Fixes:
- New Safe Mode launch option. Launch the game with "-safe" to force the game into launching in 1024x768. (try this if you are having launching the game)
- Several fixes including a crash with Santa and a piece of dialog

Did you guys manage to patch the "rolling while typing in chat" bug?

Did you guys manage to patch the "rolling while typing in chat" bug?

We will fix this tomorrow but, there's a workaround for this:
launch the key binding tool and select SPACE as the secondary roll key too.

When will the crippling lag be fixed? I had one game where it was running great until wave 18, and then everyone suddenly started lagging to the point that we couldn't tell what was happening, and promptly died.

Am i able to play the game now without having to turn of crossfire every time i want to play?

[RovinHoot]

Patch made no difference here, with or without -safe, still crashing at startup without generating any log files.

- Re-spawn time has been limited to 1 minute.

I bought this game couple days ago and so far I can't make it launch. All I get is this:

"Game.exe has stopped working"

Problem signature:
Problem Event Name: APPCRASH
Application Name: Game.exe
Application Version: 0.0.0.0
Application Timestamp:4ef201fe
Fault Module Name: StackHash_9584
Fault Module Version: 0.0.0.0
Fault Module Timestamp:00000000
Exception Code: c0000005
Exception Offset: 00cd9cf6

I already tried the "-safe", CrossFire OFF, disable sound, nothing helps. All my drives are up to date.

Every time I do the "Verify integrity of game cache" it says "1 file failed to validate and will be reacquired" the update size is 884 bytes (installscript.vdf).

My PC: i7 920 - 9Gb mem, 2xHD5870.

I have 266 games on my Steam Library and this one is the only one that crashes :(

Thanks, thanks! Glad to see devs trying to make the game enjoyable.

This. Our household has 4 computers and a couple hundred Steam games, but this game only works on one of the 4 computers. The other three produce the same error as quoted above, but on my laptop it generates some additional information. Here are my game.exe crash problem details:

I am on an AMD A6-3400M running Windows 7 Home 64-bit, with a Radeon HD 6520G graphics card. If any other information would be useful in generating a fix for this, please let me know. I'm glad to see the devs respond to problems on the game design side of things, so I am hopeful that this will be fixed as well -- it looks like fun on my roommate's machine, and we'd all love to be playing it!
