Good sir, not to hound your ass anymore than these other folk are, but what's your timeframe/goal on released a beta of the Hypercorp (with working tech tree)?  I'm just about good whenever you are.

It's a cloned version of the TEC one right now, isn't it?

The original definitely was a clone of TEC as it's much easier to use one of the original races as a starting template. The last version is a significant shift away from TEC (excluding diplomacy). I do need some Tier 8 civilian techs though and update the large research pictures.

Download the Sotf R5 link in the OP. I'm working on a smaller download option, but that will take a bit if time to setup and upload.

It's all at the top of the OP Holybeast. Simply put though, it's in this order Planet (1 only), Addons (Any), Races (Any), Core.

Note: If you want Tec, Advent or Vasari, you'll have to activate them. 

Oh... Don't use the SotF Debug Colonial. I also didn't mean to package it   I use it to debug an individual race so I don't get tons and tones of popup windows. Plus, I think the one that got packaged isn't right to begin with!

It's all testable except the debug ones. 

Well... What SotF mods did you have stacked? What were your Effect settings?

I just played a 39 minute (game clock) Colonial versus Hypercorp without any issues.

SotF Mods Stacked:

SotF Planets Sol R5

SotF Addon Effects R5

SotF Colonial R5

SotF Hypercorp R5

SotF Core R5

Effects:

Highest/High/Low (Detail/Extras/Bump)

@Holybeast - well... the intent of this configuration is to AVOID the 2GB limit. Why would you load everything for a close encounters map between Colonial and Hypercorp. You should remove ALL the other races except for the ones you want to play.

I can't make any guarantees about your system and hardware and it's ability to run with so much loaded at once. Trim it down and see if you have the same issue.

As per the standing question, what SotF mods did you have loaded, and what were your effects settings?

I have an Acer Aspire laptop, 2.2GHz, 2 GB DDR3 Memory, 250 GB HDD. And for the three races thing, found out I just didn't put Core last. However; when I have all races activated, and try to hop on a large map (to just see them get kicked by my colonial fleet) 4-5 minutes in it mini dumps.

You'll never be able to run all of the races with only 2GB of ram on that system I can do this with Effect settings on High/Medium/Low but the lag gets pretty bad if fleet sizes get too big on large maps, but I'll run between 1.4 to 1.6 GIG on ram usage (Highest and I'll mini-dump).

My system specs are i7 860, 8GB DDR3 Memory, GTX 260 (896MB).

Your available ram is only 1 GB or less depending on your OS and other running programs. I sincerely suggest you upgrade to a minimum of 4GB ram if possible. You might be able to load one or two of the races but I would suggest keeping Effects to High/Medium/Low or Medium/Low/Low depending on your memory consumption.

FYI, Colonials is the heaviest hitting race as it's texture and meshes are significantly larger than any of the other races in my mod.

I also have a version of the Optimization project that you may also want to try that can be stacked with my mod but I wasn't seeing any issues on my side in Diplomacy so didn't pursue it further. Let me know if your interested.

@Jimi Right now it's all one big package in the SotF R5 download in the OP. 

Colonials fit with my theme of factions with self destructing backgrounds and have been included as part of my mod (atleast here). 

It's a big mod but uses a plug-n-play approach to keep resources low when playing. 

DON'T load every single SotF mod that is downloaded with SotF R5.

DO load the races you want to play with and within your system constraints.

By example the minimum required to play Colonials vs Colonials is:

SotF Race Colonial R5

SotF Core R5

If you want to play the Colonial against another race such as Advent and Plague add their race to the stack:

SotF Race Colonial R5

SotF Race Advent R5

SotF Race Plague R5

SotF Core R5
