Razer Posted July 27, 2007 Author Share Posted July 27, 2007 Oh just noticed something, in QB's you can chose the obvious RED / BLUE but also the side unconventional. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Razer Posted July 27, 2007 Author Share Posted July 27, 2007 Meeting engagement Probe Assualt Attack These are the 4 QB types. But for some reason I don't get to buy my forces. Once again I point at the 1.0 as the problem, because I've read you should be able to. Oh well, I'll continue to try and dig up some interesting stuffs while waiting for the big one to come down . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razer Posted July 27, 2007 Author Share Posted July 27, 2007 lol I held down shift to be able to drag a selection box around my heavy mechanized syrian army. BUT they all went invisible except 3 tanks. Now that's some serious bugger EDIT: Oh wait! That was because they had no contact with the others! They where just showing markers! Damn that's awesome! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Razer Posted July 27, 2007 Author Share Posted July 27, 2007 Haha, I just did some area fire pretty close to my T-62M and was so stunned at the AWESOME effects that I totally missed that my unbuttoned tank commander got wounded by shrapnel 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedy Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 I get home from work in 3 hours, hope they have the download up and running by then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razer Posted July 27, 2007 Author Share Posted July 27, 2007 For all it's worth, I'm updating my drivers. If that solves this minor problem and let's me enjoy the game, I'd be a stupid bastard not to try . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malmvig Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Confirmed. I called my local EB games store in DK and they also haves it for sale. However - I'll wait for the download to be released. - 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpl Steiner Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 In anticipation of CM:SF I updated my Nvidia Geforce 7600GT driver last night and tested it on "Medieval II Total War". It ran smooth as silk with maxed out graphical settings (except unit size I think, which I kept to normal) plus x2 antialiasing and x4 anistropic filtering. I will therefore be frankly very surprised and disappointed if CM:SF doesn't run smooth too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razer Posted July 27, 2007 Author Share Posted July 27, 2007 Do so Malmvig. Even thought it IS fun to get your hands on the 1.0 version. It's not worth the effort if you already have it preordered. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malmvig Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Copy that Razer. Thankfully the nearest EB store are 40 miles north of my HQ If it was any closer I'll purchase a second copy just to get my sweaty hands on the box 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morjit Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Razer, the speed problem could be due to your dual core drivers. Exactly what dual core cpu do you have? You may need the fix from microsoft for xp. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razer Posted July 27, 2007 Author Share Posted July 27, 2007 And now I've found a loophole to the cameraMUDWAR bug. For some reason, the camera only lags when you are strafing around with the keyboard. If you do it with the new left-click and drag way. It flows like a penguin in oil. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razer Posted July 27, 2007 Author Share Posted July 27, 2007 Pentium D. I'll see if I can find that fix. The fix is not needed I guess. All I have to do to not get totally choppy is refrain from using the keyboard. It's uncomfortable but workable. Anyway, can't wait for 1.01 [ July 27, 2007, 04:20 AM: Message edited by: Razer ] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Razer Posted July 27, 2007 Author Share Posted July 27, 2007 Btw, the tac AI is clearly at fault in 1.0. Sometimes under fire, some of the soldiers decided to stand up and walk towards cover. That usually got them shot dead. Oh and when I where going to clear a house, I sent in a squad with the hunt command. There where 3 small houses lined up, so they went in the one furthest from the house I wanted them to go into and then went the roof way down it. When they got down there, they spread out, covering the windows. Bam, suddenly there is 3 Syrian infantery standing in their midst. Noone is reacting. Then BAM, one of the soldiers shoots the other. And so on. It took them like 20 seconds to take down those 3 men after they'd been spotted at -1 meter distance. Conclusion: I really really hope that patch 1.01 fixed these issues. Because pretty much all I haven't mentioned is golden. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Hi Razer, while you really want the 1.01 release patch and it really does address a very long list of small and large issues (several hundred items opened and closed in the 5 weeks it took to complete from the version that you have), among them various AI bugs, what you describe above is not a bug, but an abstraction (well, the entry through the roof IS a bug, but the close sombat afterwards is not). There is no (visible) hand to hand brawling in CMSF, just like there are no (visible) building interiors. It would have been impossible for our team to model and code the complex animations to fully visualize this kind of action. We plan to do it, or at least reduce the abstraction level somewhat from what it is now, but this will take a lot of time and effort. Instead, close quarter battle (such as, inside the same building) is abstracted much like it was abstracted in CMx1. You will see guys switch to full auto, throw handgrandes and all that, but the visual actions to not fully represent what is going on under the hood. In the 20 seconds you mention above that nobody seemed to react, you have to picture guys securing room after room, for example. The good news is that the framework for the new engine will allow us to finetune such things in a much more efficient way in the future because it's much more modular, so over time we will be able to reduce these abstractions one by one.

Razer Posted July 27, 2007 Author Share Posted July 27, 2007 Perhaps I didn't make myself clear. The big problem I had with it was that they went into the hous with the enemy troops. No visual contact yet. They deploy around the interiour of the litte house (I might add, only one room). After they are deployed the enemy "spawned" right next to them. Appearing out of plain sight. Then after that awkward silence the whole abstracted combat began. I've got nothing against abstractions, but that appearing out of plain sight, is that also one? Just wondering. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morjit Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 From what I understand, the building is not just one room. What you can't see is the abstracted individual rooms in a building. The guys didn't so much as come out of nowhere, but came around the corner from the next room. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGT_56M Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Tip for camera controls: WSADQE is medium camera speeds. Arrow keys are very slow. Mouse on the edges of the screen is the quickest. My personal preference is to use the mouse for forward and back/side to side. I use Q/E for rotation. This keeps the camera smooth. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibsonm Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Razer, There was one scenario with an error about where reinforcements appeared. If you were lucky / unlucky the US troops occupied the location and the reinforcements appeared as if by magic amongst them. As far as I know that scenario has had this fixed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
