Re: NS2 Alpha
The game is quite choppy, but still playable. Anyone know the command to show fps.
Also the server browser is quite annoying, since it doesn't show passworded servers or actual ping.
Might give it a better go later on tonight, when more are on, and more servers pop up.

Re: NS2 Alpha
Hi people, long time lurker, first time poster.
Just wondering if there is anyone here thinking of putting up local dedicated servers in the next day or two? Because yes, with the current state of 'chop', playing on anything but local/dedicated servers is fairly useless. If we could get a list going that would be ace.
Looking forward to seeing y'all on the frontlines.

Re: NS2 Alpha
The netcode is really bad and the hitbox also. Almost impossible to kill anything that's moving. Looks nice though.

Right now Gameplanet(NZ) is working on one, and someone was saying ingame ON3 is also working on one too.

Been getting about 30fps not moving, and 20fps moving with 8800GT, e8400, and 6gb ram. But thats on high.
Would of tried lower ones, but the game keeps getting stuck on attempting connection for certain servers. And esc doesn't seem to go to menu, so all i can get is console, which i don't know any commands (other than quit=quit)
EDIT: Seems the game runs a lot smoother in a server i make myself, so maybe some of the early lag is related to what server you are on.
Also can't see on3 putting a server up, given you need to have the game to do so, and i dont think any of the head staff there have it.
EDIT2: Actually it seems ON3 are putting one up. Should be good to have local dedicated servers set up.

Re: NS2 Alpha
Having not even looked at this alpha yet, I too would like to hereby register disappointment at finding bugs and unfinished work contained within the aforementioned alpha build.
A totally unexpected turn of events. No really.

Re: NS2 Alpha
there's a difference in pointing out bugs that need to be fixed then just complaining about how the game is shitty and unfinished when flayra made a whole news post about it.

Re: NS2 Alpha
There's also a difference between complaining and letting people know what to expect when they try to play.

If you don't expect a buggy alpha then you're as dumb as the people telling us what to expect. Oh wait, you're one of those people.

Re: NS2 Alpha
hope they enable multi-core or even hexacore support for the final release in a million years time.
My old PC with dedicated graphics card was getting around 50fps ;\ this one with onboard is getting around 20 ;|
