poesel Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 Last weekend I played on a friends computer which is more recent than mine (I have everything off and get 10-20 fps). I turned everything to the max and liked it. Two things to note: 1) as soon as the action started I forgot all about the graphic niceness. So at least for me you better invest your time into the gameplay instead of the graphics 2) the grass is actually a huge disadvantage. I got shot several time by a bot when driving over a ridge. He saw me way before I could see him. That never happened to me on my normal machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClaytoniousRex Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 Yeah, grass looks beautiful but most of us end up turning it off once the novelty has worn off. HDR, on the other hand, makes such a big improvement to the graphics that I always try to leave it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurtz Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 I can recommend the extra audio. Hearing bullets go by like 'angry bees' gives early warning that you are being shot at. Too bad grass is a disadvantage when playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapps Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaytoniousRex Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Kapps, there was a Mac-specific bug with HDR: if you played a scenario, and THEN turned on HDR, and THEN tried to play another scenario, DropTeam would crash. However, if you FIRST turned on HDR BEFORE playing a scenario, then everything worked fine. We were never able to reproduce this bug here, but it was reported on this forum. Have you tried turning on HDR before doing anything else? If so, and it still crashes, can you please email me your DropTeam.log and your system specs (especially your video card and its amount of RAM). Thanks!
