Totally and utterly confused by this game. Methinks an "Official ETQW FAQ Thread" is needed..!

It all seems like a load of fast paced quake-style shooting and not much else Hate to say this... but I think I prefer BF2, unless I'm missing the point of the game?

It takes a while to get into it, I am now pro at this game

, also we need more servers to accomodate everyone

I take it that i've missed out on getting a key?

It says more coming soon...

i have it hosted on ftp ready to go

silversurfer · 23 Jun 2007 at 22:38

All gone now. Is that multiplay the best link so far

Very surprised actually, runs like a dream on my Sempron 2800+, 1gb, 7600 GS current rig at 1280x1024. Is a hard task trying to find a server though.

Some kind person on quakenet #etqwbeta has gave me a key

Downloading now...

SpaghettiOs · 23 Jun 2007 at 23:00

Yes, I keep getting, this server is full. Then I get others where it doesn't say that, but seems to wait there for trying to connect for ages. Does it just take a long time?

Tom|Nbk · 23 Jun 2007 at 23:06

Last batch out tommorow, we need a fair few more servers up before then

Streeteh · 23 Jun 2007 at 23:07

I know this is a beta, so certain gameplay aspects could change. But this isn't in respect to the gameplay, the whole engine feels... floaty. Whenever i walk/run/drive anywhere it feels like i'm on ice skates, also the running animations aren't synced to the rate at which the characters run, so it looks like they're sliding (this problem existed in the original ET, so i assume its a quake engine trait).

I'll see if i get used to it before i cast it aside.

On what settings? Runs pretty poorly on mine

Gerard · 23 Jun 2007 at 23:24

They really screwed up this beta when they released the public keys, wtf is it with servers with 2/24 showing up as full? :confused:

I didnt consider anything but low, getting 25-40 fps though may try and notch it up. Was really surprised at how well it run.

Substance · 23 Jun 2007 at 23:33

i am getting around 60fps on 1280x1024, i know it is a beta but it isn't looking anywhere near as pretty as all the screenshots,

As for the servers don't go for the UK ones, scroll further down the list, there are a few there that are about 100 ping and i can connect to those fine, i think its just the eu/uk servers that aren't working

Down1oader · 23 Jun 2007 at 23:43

sorry i havent really been following it but, is this dx10?

Substance · 23 Jun 2007 at 23:44

No i don't think so, i may be wrong though, let me check

*edit* there is no dx10 option so im guessing it's dx9 only

Gerard · 23 Jun 2007 at 23:47

doom 3 engine = opengl.

Substance · 23 Jun 2007 at 23:48

ah, i forgot about that, so there's no dx at all
