We know that we’ve not updated anything for a while and we don’t have any excuse of that. Everything is going very well on our side after the Launch of our first Title like A.R.E.S. Today we proudly present you ARES’s Berzerker Suit DLC, coming to Steam tonight with only $0.99 USD. Get it here !

=================================
A.R.E.S. : The Berzerker Suit DLC
=================================

Due to over exposure to the Zytron gasses, A.R.E.S. looses himself to older temptations for power and war.

While other suit upgrades involve the incorporation of advanced technological hardware, theBerzerker Suit is a reminder of A.R.E.S. Dark mysterious past. The suit is equipped with a powerful weapon that creates a deadly fire shot but the owner receives more damage.

We’ve just released the update (version 1.2) of A.R.E.S.: Extinction Agenda a few hours ago. You should be notified by your game’s client to download it very soon.

For those of you who buy the full version of A.R.E.S. and can’t continue the game after the intro screen, please read the FAQ below to fix your problem.

Problem:

Every time I start the game a message with ‘Error loading achievement data’ appears. Then I can start a game but after the intro and the first conversation with Valkyl it freezes and then crashes, the same happens when I look up the achievements in the menu under extras->achievements .

Solution:

The problem occurs because some data from the demo version of the game is still be stored in your computer. Please fix the error by

1. Go to:

Window XP: “C:/Documents and settings/{your window account name}/My Documents/ARES”

Window 7/Vista:  ”C:/Users/{your window account name}/Documents/ARES”

2. Delete the file named “current.ach”

3. Restart and play the game

We are very sorry for any inconvenience you may have. We will fix the bug and update the patch as soon as possible.

Hope the solution above can solve your problem.
