Theres a problem with servers not deploying anyone to start a game so its pointless at the moment - shame as im wanting to see what its like

Haven't even been able to make the darn thing work.

You can't even browse the pre-game main menu without experiencing TONS of serious bugs.

IMO seems like it's in some sort of pre-alpha stage....a beta should at least be functional.

Winner, just got my key.

Let us know if you can get it to work. Just setting your options is VERY tricky as you'll see.

Going to take another hour and a half to download yet so I'll report back here.

I hope it's not too buggy because I was actually looking forward to this game. :eek:

Yeah I have been on OCUK a lot recently especially pcgames and never saw it

Still can't work out how to deploy tho :confused:

UT3 engine I am hoping when I finally get in it will look good... then again after playing CRYSIS all week

Darkwave · 23 Sep 2007 at 00:13

I see what you guys mean about the main menu, it's impossible for me to navigate without resorting to arrow keys. The game also crashed when I tried to get onto a multiplayer server.

Kmodo · 23 Sep 2007 at 00:16

K I am a tad confused... every time I have tried to deploy I am in near enough full servers

So are we the only ones that can't get the game to deploy or are the players in the server also stuck on the deploying screen?

Aye I just keep getting stuck on a deployment screen with a rotating symbol.

The devs know about this "deploy" bug and are working on it.

This is the kind of bug that should've been "worked on" pre-alpha.

Does not bode well for this game whatsoever.

I managed to get on a map as single player with no bots, it's a bit glitchy (as you'd expect from a beta) but it seems to run smooth-ish (at least smoother than the Crysis beta) and it looks good (though nowhere near as good as the Crysis beta, and antialiasing doesn't work.)

killer_uk · 23 Sep 2007 at 01:04

How did you manage to get on single player?

EDIT: Or do you mean get on a server with no other players? I've tried everything, still can't deploy though, well, that's when I can actually find servers.

On the main menu bring up the console (@ key worked for me, without shift) and type "open fl-gnaw" or "open fl-mountaintop" without quotes.

Nah it just loads the map with only you and some vehicles in it, no other players or bots.
