    Sticky input

    I agree that this is a problem that needs to be addressed. The steering just doesn't seem very fluid even with a fairly low ping. The game almost becomes unplayable when the ping goes up and the controls stop responding. How do other FPS games get around this?
  2. I agree. The enemy always seems to be in the opposite direction...
  3. I also had a crash with an ATGM bearing down on me.
  4. Yay... Mac users are now back!
  5. Today, I'm not even able to get into the game (or updater). It freezes on the splash screen.
  6. Once infantry make it to the game, the strategy will just have to change. What exactly would the purpose of infantry be if most of the vehicles have a weapon that can mow them down? The Thor's will have to be protected by teamates with smaller caliber weapons. This might be where that quad 20mm vehicle could be useful.
  7. Has the HD rendering crash bug been fixed? I haven't tried it since 0.9.40 when it would cause Dropteam to crash after loading the map.
  8. Is there something up with the server today? I created a new account but I still get a message that it's not valid. It happened several tries (and several new accounts).
  9. I've been having some issues as well. Soon after I updated to 0.9.45, it said my account was not valid so I created a new one. Today, I go on to play and it gives me the same message. This has only happened to me on this version of the game.
  10. Yeah, that's what i meant by saying that it was hard to tell if I got a hit. There should definitely be a radius of fragmentation around the HE rounds.
  11. How do you get the fps to display? I don't see many slowdowns running everything maxed at 1680x1050 on a quad G5 w/7800gt 256MB and 3GB ram.
  12. I find 20mm HE is effective at close or medium range against turrets while the 120mm is pretty much completely ineffective. My main use of 120mm HE is to attack wheeled vehicles and slow them down...which is funny because HE is so slow, it's hard to get a hit (or tell that you got a hit).
  13. You might be onto something. I'm not sure how easy it would be to program in the game but the option to outfit certain vehicles manually would be pretty sweet.
  14. The same thing happens over on the Mac side. If I turn HD on, it'll force quit the game right at the end of loading the level.
  15. I agree...with the exeption of one thing... I still have issues with the overall responsiveness of the interface. At first, I thought it was just the vehicle dynamics but changing weapons also requires you to almost hold down the button. You can't just tap the + and -. I also have to hold the key to get the vehicles started turning and then they turn too far once I let go. On slower vehicles, it's alright but on something like the Hurricane, it's very annoying. I'm not sure if this issue is related but it also seems like the Hurricane will only turn in 10 degree (or so) incriments. I know this is supposed to be a "dark ages" but I think they could figure out how to have immediate and smooth turning.
  16. Is the loading affected by graphics settings? Hard drive speed? What is the object cache loading to? For the record, my quad w/7800gt will load a level in a minute and some change (max graphics settings except for hd rendering).
  17. I've gotten the error twice. Both times, I was playing normally and then the view switches to the outside of my vehical and I get the server not responding message. I have to force quit the game. Interestingly enough, both times it happened were on CTF maps. The first time, I had just picked up the enemy's flag and the second was soon after I had scored.
  18. I definitely see this issue from both sides. Today, I was on the attacking end while someone killed themself...I wasn't happy at all. On the other hand, sometimes, you have to kill yourself to get back in the battle. When your stuck and under enemy AA, there is no way to get extracted. If no enemy unit is around to finish you off, your there forever (usually upside down in a Hurricane). I do like Los' statement that the last person to hit the unit should get the kill.
  19. How exactly do you command? I've played my fair share of BF2 and love the idea of being a commander but I haven't figured out how to do it in Drop Team. There really isn't a good manual about all the features of the game. Most of the stuff I learn in online here.
  20. Hi all. Today, I noticed that most the servers are now running the new version (.41). When I connect to these servers, it tells me that my version (.40) is not compatible and to join a server of the same version. Am I missing something simple or is there not an easy way to upgrade? Do the download links include the newest version? I'm running 10.4.5. Thanks.
