Wardogs

that's maybe a bit strong. i certainly wouldn't say it's an utter pile of crap but it's definitely getting over hyped for some reason.

It will certainly have its fanbase, but I don't see this game being a long term hit, however much people decide to pre-order it.

If you've played Arma Reforger king of the hill, then yes you'll love this game

 

[Tombstone]

Played 3 matches, the scores were Red 100 pts, Green 14 pts and Blue 6 pts. Next game was Red 100pts, Green 34 pts, Blue 21 pts and the 3rd game was Red 100pts, Green 3 pts, Blue 3 pts. Seems to be very clear when a team has a number of people on it working as a team and the others dont.

Money and supply lines mechanic actually works very well, the logistics of carrying supplies to the FOBs etc works very well, I like the TTK and the carrying of people to the frontline via truck/heli works well. Sadly though, it was as I feared, probably 75% of the players dont give two hoots about setting up FOBs, or carrying supplies, or reviving, or carrying people from A to B. I think if you had 100 people, on the 3 teams, all (or almost all) working as teams, it would be an excellent game but with randoms etc who only care about the fighting and killing aspects, it will become an exercise in frustration for me. With Clan wars and things, could be very good but I dont have time to devote to being in a clan for this sort of thing anymore. In short, the failings of this game arent the game itself imo, its the mindsets of many of the people playing it.

I'll give it a few more tries over the weekend but I'll probably have to chalk this one up to being not one for me, maybe 15 years ago but not these days, too many other titles (especially this year) for me to be able to devote dedicated time to being in a clan for this sort of thing for it to work out for me.

I requested access to playtests on day one and still nothing, I wont be buying unless i get to try beforehand.
A game like this the 2 hour refund is nowhere near enough to make a decision.
Same story as HLL vietnam really , another i wishlisted on day one.

If you want to play the beta, preorder for entry and then just refund if the beta isnt to your liking

 

[Thekwango]

i'm really trying to like this game but it's just not clicking for me. everything about it seems 'meh' - it's not bad by any stretch of the imagination, it's just very bland.

 

[gpuerrilla]

So far thats what I thought of it last night. Will give it another bash later and see if it improves or goes other way.

Yeah the open beta today is in the play test which is a totally different game on steam, so you can play all weekend and still refund

I'm not sure I understand what I have to do/where to go, struggling to find any action. It seems like most teammates are camping on towers?

Game won't even load for me, compiles shaders and then error message and crash to desktop. No time to read error before its gone. Game just did a small update. Now shader compilation completes, briefly see next screen and then error message and crash.

I had the same kind of crashes while playing Wardogs. In my case, the crash dumps pointed to the old inpoutx64.sys driver (INVALID_KERNEL_HANDLE / 0x93).

I disabled the driver via CMD with:
sc.exe config inpoutx64 start= disabled

Then rebooted the PC. Wardogs has been stable since. Might be worth checking if you also have inpoutx64.sys installed/running.

You can check with:
sc.exe query inpoutx64

I wouldn't delete the driver, just disable it for testing.

Try this, win 11 update related

 

[Megahurtz400]

I do think this is a game that’s best enjoyed with friends in a squad, I imagine soloing will get tedious relatively quickly…

no luck here, if thats KB5121003 related then I don't have it installed. Figured I'd try and remove it via CMD first but its not found. Guess I'll definitely be refunding

yea, it's definitely one for a group of mates. utterly horrible solo - there's literally zero comms. though i think that's a typical EU server thing because of the number of non english speakers that will be in any one game. i've almost always found NA servers tend to have much better comms and usually seem more 'inviting' for solos as generally everyone will be speaking english. shame the high ping to them can make playing on them a bit crap.

 

[Finners]

Tried it solo yesterday and feels almost impossible to get going in.

Can't even buy armour or a red dot so feel like a sitting duck. All that basic stuff should be available straight away so you can get on and actually try the game.

So will be a no buy from me if unlocking stuff is so slow. Don't need a second job when I just want to play a game

 

[Matty8787]

I really enjoy it, found it fine both solo and in a squad.

Find the majority of people really helpful too, just open up a convo and most respond fairly well.

 

[Grim5]

Is this better than battlefield 6?

Like arc raiders, I always played on NA servers because voice comms made it far more fun.

Same. I’ll play most games, where it’s an option/practical on NA servers.

Different type of game, imo. This leans more into milsim. Though it is far more ‘arcadey’ than Squad or Arma. It’s trying to bridge the gap of both genres.
