Good job on patching but you guys still have not released personal carriers as promised. I hope you guys are putting out RS for free cause its the only thing that might bring people back to RO2. Heck The War Z which was a total flop has more people online right now. I played RO since it was a mod and I think you guys dropped the ball on this one.

Thank you very much...

Modders are very busy with making tanks and vehicles, you just must have patience.

No, tankbattles are in ro2 much much better. You must know how to use them and knowing the weak spots of your opponent. It isn`t the pingpong tankbattles of roost anymore

For RO2 we have also large tankmaps now, only nobody plays them anymore.
We have a ogledow, arad etc etc Did you never play them?
Yes indeed blackdayjuly is a great map.

Hi The Beast

First of all thanks for the reply. To be honest, I respect your point of view and I could agree on certain things, like for example the astounding interior features of the PIV and T-34 but the main issue is that we're talking about 2 models in total. I understand that it's difficult to make a tank with the new system but you need also to understand that something secondary that takes months to complete, by focusing on it, it's a waste of precious time.

It's a complete nonsense that creating a tank it takes so long ! Balancing the animations, modelling, coding and bugfix shouldn't take months for a single tank, because it could have been better to sacrifice some features and maybe insert a tiger VI or KV-1, or some light tanks like PIII or T60.

You mentioned the pingpong battles of RO1.. well, with two shots you could have gone (to not mention Darkest hour mod... why don't implement a system like that in RO2 ? Do we need to wait for the Darkest hour successor instead of RO2 fixed/RO3 ?). Her it happens that we've got so many partial penetrations that it's almost impossible to destroy a tank with a single or even a couple of shots. Yes, I played on arad and on the other maps and it's still the same. It's an year that I'm waiting and sincerely I've lost faith in this game company, sadly.

With my friends we've played a lot of games with tank mode in RO1 and frankly, it was a giant part of that game. RO2 it's on knees due it's inhability to give the same amount of content as it's predecessor. If it wasn't for the mapping contest of the comunity (sponsored by TWI but NOT BY TWI), RO2 could have died months ago.

How many guys are playing right now on the servers ? Let's be honest, this isn't going nowhere. At first it was unplayable due FPS issues and lag issues (lag compensation, hit detection and so on), then the miracolous patch but now we're on the dirt again, and it's a shame because of the engine, the mechanichs and the infantry gameplay it's a little gem.

The main issue, for me atleast, it's the tank mode totally bugged.

A T-34 if hit at the side near the ammo storage, could have gone away easily. Here not.

The same for a PIV in the side of the turret, that has few mm of armour.
Here not.

We got partial penetration, a bloody mess in the inside but nothing more. Otherwise, after the third or fourth shot, the tank explodes (it was a common thing to be disabled, not to explode. Especially with apcr shells)

And apart this, we've got only 2 type of tanks.. Come on, that's a huge issue ! Please keep in mind tank gameplay, please add some more content and raise the bar because I don't think that I'm the only one thinking about it, and asking for such elemental things.

Another thing: where are the APC's ?


TWI should concentrate on RO2, not on the third party Rising storm. Finalize your(our/ mine!) game before trying to release some other MODS

That the option to forgive tk`s is working again is great. Thanks for that TWI!

I've never had problems with RO2, played it since beta. Now since the most recent update, I can't play at all, it crashes to desktop

Try restarting steam or restarting your computer a couple times. I had the same problem and that solved it.

[Sensemann]

Just a small question: Did the last patch screw the reinforcement numbers? I joined several servers on different maps and it was odd to see e.g. Comissar's House: German reinforcements: 400. Russian reinforcements: 400

Or Apartments: German reinforcements: 400, Russian reinforcements: 400

To hell with balance.

Spoiler!

I'm being brutally honest. If you are running a mere 450 watts with a 600 series card and perhaps a quad core cpu? God knows what else? You have no business using any psu below 550watts. I know; I build 'em. Chances are, you're pullin' excess current and dropin' voltage like a sunofagun.

Well I've been building PC's since the 386 days myself, and I double and triple checked everything regarding what I would need before I bought the card. I have nothing else sucking on my power supply other than the basics (ie: I don't have a sound card, but just use the on-board sound) nor do I have any intention of adding anything more to my system to suck more on my power supply.

If I didn't need to get a new power supply, I wasn't going to waste the money to do so.... if I did, I would have got one. If I decide to add something else to my system, I know I will need a new power supply..... but until then, from all the tests I have ran on my system, I still have a bit of W left over.

Again, if it truly was the case that my power supply is getting toasted because of my video card requiring more juice than it can provide.... then why do all my other games run just fine maxed out for however long I wish to play.... except RO2??

Chivalry, Far Cry 3, Skyrim, and a few other games I own work just fine with no hiccups.

I'm playing games that are newer than RO2, and I'm running games that have higher system requirements than RO2, and they're all just fine.

And how do you explain the fact that when I ran my new card at the same video settings as my old GeForce 210 (which worked for it) my system still ends up dying??

And that others have come in here stating the exact same issues with their systems crashing like mine, whom have higher power supplies than I?

I'm not about to go and waste more money on another Power Supply without any assurance that that is indeed the problem.... and I'm not about to go and waste money on a new Power Supply just so I can play one game, when every other one runs perfectly fine.

Hi Praxius
I had a NVidia card as well and the game crashed after a while.I had to tune down the card in order to make it work. In the end it was a faulty card. Does it happen in other games as well?

Nope, RO2 is the only one.

And the other question presented by another member regarding the RealTek Audio, the main fix for that is to ensure you have the latest drivers, which I did.... and it seemed to have fixed the issue for a day or two and then it went back to crashing again.

And I don't like AA and have all settings turned off

thanks for the tips guys but
verified files, no problems, still crashes...
deleted mydocs/mygames/ro2 still crashes

If it's PunkBuster crashing you due to the sound drivers (Had that issue myself with RealTek Audio Drivers) even though you may have a USB sound card thingy, PB might still be detecting your onboard sound drivers and crashing you.

If it's RealTek, go here:

http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/

^ Download what you need, restart and try it again.... the last option is to just avoid any servers running PB.... which of course limits available servers even more than they already are.

As mentioned in my previous post (in the spoiler section) I did have this problem for a bit, and this fixed the issue.... then I got my new video card and now my whole system is dying.

Though my wife said last week or so that an Nvidia driver update went through the system while I was at work.... who knows? maybe the update fixed my problem.... but I'll have to reinstall RO2 to test..... someday I might.

Good job on patching but you guys still have not released personal carriers as promised. I hope you guys are putting out RS for free cause its the only thing that might bring people back to RO2.

Mod Vet here too.... Yup, I agree.

Ah thanks. Not worth playing then.

Go to Tripwires support page, they tell you what to do. It fixes the problem, i had it too.

 

[Yoshiro]

We have tracked down the issue and are working on a fix now.
