[Info] Is this a joke?
- Thread starter Robersdee

My specs:
Intel Quad Core Extreme QX9650
XFX Radeon 5970
4 gigs ram
win 7
all imaginable runtimes, updates, latest drivers etc installed
First of all, I registered with the intent of commenting on the horrible unfinished beta of a game that is RO2HOS.
Read op on the posts in this thread, and my conclusion is a lot of you fanboys, "experienced gamers", the "mature" people as you present yourself should have taken a sip from the big warm cup of STFU instead of trying to explain every constructive negative comment (which most of the ones in here are) with some lame explenaion like it's "kiddies that have to be weeded out", your "experience in this and that" et cetera.
I have played a LOT of the original RO, and the complete lack of tech support and any attempts of improvenemt can be traced back to that game. So much so, that the game completely quit running on my PC all of a sudden. Previously, it crashed for no reason. Then came a time when it some times started up, say 1 out of 10 attempts and actually ran. I reinstalled it, did the steam game cache check etc. It just quit. Now knowing it was an old game, I cut it slack in the sense that I kept on playing it as long as I could, especially that wonderful mod Darkest Hour.
Low and behold, RO2 comes along and I per-purchase it. I thing gee, with all the money they get in pre-purchases they (devs) must be eager to get it finished and run as dramatically as the trailer was!
Now, either RO2 is custom made for "Origin PC's" (note grammatical the error in the forced commercial that we're all watching when this POS starts up), or the trailer was done Hollywood style - a render. BECAUSE WHEN I SET THE SETTINGS TO ULTRA, WHICH MY MACHINE IS MORE THAN CAPABLE OF, THE FPS IS AROUND 20!
Oh and Unreal 2 3d engine... just fkin wow... you know a script kiddie with the original Doom engine could have made this more impressive.
Jokes aside... have you checked out DODS, or Insurgency Mod? Both games show just a fraction of what the Source engine could do... why not choose that? Why not take Xray engine from Stalker?
Unreal 2... yeah, like totally unreal how this could be made in 2011.
Ok, I turn down various goodies like motion blur, high AA, shadows, this and that, and get to maybe 40 FPS.
Then, once I start playing either the server menu does not work, or the spawn select menu flickers like crazy between two spawn options, or when I press menu buttons they don't respond or are laggy...
Giving the game for the xxx'th time the benefit of the doubt - I start playing.
Low and behold, the graphics look like COD2, I die inside a tank inside a spawn for no reason, or when I do drive away the machinegun shoots maybe 10-20MOA below the crosshair for no reason what so everand then gets back to where it was just as quickly, or I get disconnected with the message " " and the "OK" button below it, then wait for NO LESS than half a minute just to get a server list....
Is this a joke? No. This is an unfinished game that should NEVER have been released until at least 1000 more manhours just from the dev side. The Failwire team got greedy and wanted money for an unfinished product.
Yes, they will iron out a lot of bugs in the future no doubt, but judging by this release quality, and the unexisting support for RO don't hold your breath for a miracle here.
A shame really, but hey - next time you release another game, it will arrive to me not trough steam but trough say filestube.com, and BTW anyone I would have recommended this game to - I will tell to spend their money on something that actually works.
Oh and here's a pro tip: look at how Valve does their games - nothing too fancy, but still good looking, always a long waiting time but always well done.

I took some screen shots of the weird issues iv been having, no other game does this'
As you can see from the shots my gpu usage is super low even on ultra and never goes above 50% only I am looking at the ground. the fps jump all over, stuttering some times but neither my gpu or cpu usage does anything
amd 955 @3.7ghz
2 gtx 460s overclocked in sli
4gigs of ddr3 ram
(gpu usage 29% on 1 and 26% on 2)
(cpu usage is about 40-60%)

Btw, for a little comparison here as far as graphics go....
Does anybody remember the "Stalker DX11 Demo" video? If some of you have seen it, you too were probably stunned; Rain effect, volumetric smoke, sun&glare effects, etc.
And then when the game gets installed, you realise that with maybe 10fps that you get, on ANY rig, so this demo was a render.
Yep, one of those "f--k the gamers in the a--" type of false advertisements.

Having fun? Have you seen the chat on the server? "My game lags" "The game stutters when arty is falling" "MkB everywhere" "Have you guys seen a mp40 since patch" "I keep crashing" "My stats are all wrong, lol"

I see 75% load if i am lucky on my GTX 570 and FPS is spiking all over the place really.
At one point i saw 16% load.
I never encountered this, especially with a 3.8ghz 17 930 on all 8 threads.
This is a PC only game...right?

Yeah, check my resource usage while in a MP map.

20% CPU and barely 25% GPU usage yet I can't even break 50 FPS??

I have the impression that UE3 sucks as an engine, the army cant fix AA3 either but then again they dont have any programmers to do that.

I just purchased this game. I've played PC games for years. This is indeed a joke. Apart from the Steam fiasco of finding a forgotten password - what did support reset it to last time...if I could remember that, I would need you to remind me of my password - duh! - I then had to wait for over 10hrs while it updated it. After that - finally - I could play the game...all good up to the end of my first boot camp training...won't finish the machine gun part...after shooting the trucks, I left click control as instructed and the pit starts flashing yellow along with a crate to the right with a barrel on top of it...I don't get yet.
I've tried it 3 times so far and it's still doing the same thing.
Not impressed and bored with the whole thing.
