Well I just played on one of those VUG servers (I dont know why it worked but it did), with about 6 other people in a slow-mo team deathmatch game. Its a very good game, but the novelty wears off after awhile. Its definitly much better with a server full of people then it is 1v1, the game just comes alive with all the mayham going on, and the special effects are amazing.

Its downfalls are, like any FPS it gets boring, the levels are shitty, the general look of the game is very bland, hidden behind its great effects.

The weapons are good, there needs to be more of them but the ones in game right now are excellent, especially those pickup super weapons, extremely fun to kill with when in slow-mo, its like your in a high budget action film. The kung-fu stuff is pretty cool, its deadly in the right hands, and god is it fun to slide into a room under fire, aim the shotgun in their face, and blow em into giblets.

Hmm and here I thought my amd64 3200 with 1 GB 3200 and a x800xt PE could keep up, hehe. my pc absolutely hate the water scene in the test, But my hopes are it will be better in the final version, because it's not so long ago I got My 1 GB ram.

One question though, how big a diffrent is there between say 2x1024 in dual channel, and a 1024x (2x515) set up ?

Just curius for when I later perhaps is upgrading, because at this time I have 2x512 MB and was just wondering if I would lose a whole lot if I add a 1024 block, Because would the dual channel advantage not be remove if I have three blok's in ?


It's the amount of video ram. Drop the texture quality to med and no more water slowdowns, or any kind of slowdowns. Btw, maximum textures look only marginally better than medium. Low textures look VERY bad.


damm you're right! change the texture to med. and looky here hehe, oh and the water run nice now also.

P4 3.0@3.4, 2G of ram, x800xt pe.

All max settings,but no AA, and no Soft Shadows. Medium Texture quality, since maximum gives huge slowdowns regardless of resolution (must be for 512M cards). Medium is only slightly worse than max, while minimum textures are significantly worse than medium.

min/avg/max fps - %<25/%25-40/%>40 fps
1600x1200: 7/32/384 - 49/36/15
1280x960: 10/42/385 - 23/38/39
1152x864: 12/49/382 - 10/41/49

Some work, some don't - It's pretty much chance. Try joining a server a couple times, sometimes you can get in that way. Remember to update too! Peace,

check where you're Temp directory is, if that is on Windows disk, then yes that is the problem, then you might consider moving it, to another disk, that's what I did after countless message of not enough disk space.

If you're talking about the update patch, then yes, I did run it before hosting a game. It woks fine...

Or were you trying to say that those who haven't run the patch yet are the ones complaining about not being able to host a game?

No I was talking about the people that has updated their game and now can't host a game, Mine always come up with the "availble connection type can not be used" it tries to use a internet conn. That was why I said that I have tried the Lanonly=1 settings with no luck.
