A cool dude on Quakenet (Sn0

) gave me a BETA key tonight so I had a quick Blast, it's quite fun but very laggy due no no servers with decent ping being half empty ¬_¬

Anyway, it runs excellently for a BETA and looks only a little worse than BF2142 - the scenery is better than BF2142 though but gameplay is pretty much the same minus a few things and add some others (grr god damn jetpackers!)

So no one else is having the weird problem I have?

Edit

OK found out the solution. The problem was:

I got the client prior to this. I just tried to run it...When I enter the menu, my mouse gets constantly dragged to the bottom of the bloody screen Any ideas what might be causing that?

Solution is to remove any game controllers connected to the PC. I had my steering wheel connected. I believe game pads can trigger it too. Hope this helps someone

Does the game used any SM4 effects?

Because it doesn't look very special on my 8800! It's fun though.

Ahh OK. Do we get next gen stuff in the final release?

sniffy · 24 Jun 2007 at 01:19

Shouldn't they be testing the next-gen stuff? :confused:

Kezmo · 24 Jun 2007 at 01:25

There is no next gen, wtf is next gen anyway :confused:

There maybe slightly better textures in the retail and better effects.
Im guessing ultra settings like quake 4.

just spent the past hour playing, quite impressed by it but still seems lacking something, tbh i cant stand the vehicles

Can't believe I missed getting a key! If anyone has a spare key they don't want and would like to donate it to the needy then my email is in my trust

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,

From what ive read the came is capped to 60fps, althoughh there is a console commnd to change this, also from what ive read this beta has been dumbed down to reduce the file size, something similar to the bf2142 beta, from the beta of that to the full game the gfx changed so ET:QW gfx will improve i suspect in the demo and full release.

And finally plz remeber its a BETA

and should not be considered the final game, lots can change.

Anyone got a link to the actual beta file. I got my key last night but couldn't get the beta off FP servers as they were full and i had to go out. Now there's no link on Fp for downloading it and the ftp posted earlier doesn't work, so i have a key but no game.

Download it using bittorent, it maxed out my connection.
