The Master Strategist medal is awarded for receiving 100 gold medals in DG2.The difficulty level and game type (open, competitive, or unlimited sell) are ignored for this achievement.What does matter is that each gold medal must be earned on a different map and game mode. For example, a gold medal earned playing Overlook - Fixed Resources is separate from a gold medal earned playing Overlook - Story. Your count would be two gold medals.As a second example, a gold medal earned playing Overlook - Story on Easy would NOT be counted separately from a gold medal earned playing Overlook - Story on Hard. Your count would be one gold medal.Additionally, if you started earning gold medals in Defense Grid 2 on console prior to, then it is possible that some of your gold medal progress prior to that date did not contribute toward your total gold medal count.There was a difficult to find game bug that was found and removed in the October console update. During the first five weeks on console while the bug was present, a player who launched DG2, but did not play any maps could accidentally erase their gold medal progress stats on exit. That bug was removed and no longer impacts the gold medal count earned after.

Yes, this is true. We had to work very hard to get the load times down to what they are on Xbox One - the software on the Xbox One loads much slower than on the PC or the PS4 unfortunately.The Xbox One has a lot of multitasking ability, and runs two virtual machines on top of another operating system.The good news is that because the exclusive partition (the area that plays games) on Xbox One is a virtual machine, their ability in the future to be backwards compatible with the Xbox One will be much easier.But for now we deal with longer loading times on this platform. Micro machines world series review. Yes, we have done several tests with Microsoft and they agree that the game works as expected in their test environment and that sometimes in the LIVE production environment it isn't behaving as it is expected to (i.e. People can't find each other to play games).Microsoft has addressed this problem a few times, and each time they've looked at it, matchmaking is repaired and works in our testing.If you are no longer able to find another game, please let Microsoft and Hidden Path know (we'll contact our Microsoft colleagues in that situation).

Now, in The Art of Deception, the world's most notorious hacker gives new meaning to the old adage, 'It takes a thief to catch a thief.' With the help of many fascinating true stories of successful attacks on business and government, he illustrates just how susceptible even the most locked-down information systems are to a slick con artist impersonating an IRS agent. Human element security. Narrating from the points of view of both the attacker and the victims, he explains why each attack was so successful and how it could have been prevented in an engaging and highly readable style reminiscent of a true-crime novel. Focusing on the human factors involved with information security, Mitnick explains why all the firewalls and encryption protocols in the world will never be enough to stop a savvy grifter intent on rifling a corporate database or an irate employee determined to crash a system.

Unfortunately we are unable to work around the bug in the game code and the fix requires an updated driver.The good news is that AMD has fixed the bug in the driver and included the updated driver in the upcoming Apple 10.10.3 driver release.Apple is expected to release this update in the March / April 2015 time period.We wish we could get you the fix earlier than that, but due to the way Apple manages driver updates, all players affected by this bug will have to wait until Apple releases 10.10.3. We have updated DG2 based on all of the Steam crash reports we have received and to date we have fixed reported bugs responsible for over 90% of the reports we have received.If you have a crash bug that is still happening, it may be that we are still working on fixing it for an upcoming release.But, the #1 reason for most remaining crashes is older video card drivers that are not recent - please update your drivers first and see if that fixes your problem.A second type of remaining crash bug is of the 'blue screen' or 'full system crash' type. This crash type is most typically indicative of a failed or failing element of your hardware in your computer (memory / motherboard / overheating / etc.)It may be that your crash bug is one that hasn't been reported to us yet.

In that case please send us a report of the steps that crash the game along with the crash dump to bugs-dg2@hiddenpath.com The launcher will try to automatically assist you in doing this the next time you start the game up after a crash.
