Red Orchestra (2) : Heroes of Stalingrad

Yeah, never been a fan of those modes in any game tbh ie S&D for CoD etc

I was in the OCUK mumble thing, but couldnt hear anyone.. was about 5 others in there. Not sure if they heard me swearing either :D

What name where you using?

Didn't see you come into the channel at all?
 
I don't see a big problem with this on most maps if not all of them, after all it would only make them harder to balance if buildings can be destroyed. People can be killed inside of buildings from artillery or tank shells anyway.

Most buildings would end up being completely void of cover after minutes, and the objectives would be harder to attack or defend. Most vantage points would then become useless, which could make a huge difference, for example when a smoke grenade is used and people are pushing for an objective, there would be little chance of holding back a wave of players. Not that it wouldn't be more realistic, but it would not make the game as fun or tactical to play. Remember you are limited to a reasonably small area, and after a while would not have anything left, and there is only so far you can be pushed back.

Yeah totally agree jazz,

There is only so much realism you can have in a game otherwise it'll end up like a firefight on a runway.
 
Also it would be nice to see some more folk on mumble, have seen quite a few OcUK people on the server who never come on mumble.

Don't be afraid we don't bite, well apart for jazz...


Hopefully a few more will be mumble in future ;D

Haven't seen anyone mentioning teamspeak other than non-ocuk people, all the ones who use mumble have been telling people to come on more.

If you need details see below,

We use the OcUK mumble server

See here for details


IIRC You'll find the RO2 Channel under Action > Red Orchestra 2
 
Suprised you are getting such low FPS at times Neil,

Friend of mine is playing on a lower spec but with a 5850 and is getting a constant 30/40 at reasonably high settings.


I will post my settings later on, I get a steady 70+ fps in most maps it drops to around 50 during certain situations.

edit: Spec:

i5 2500k
Corsair XMS3 8GB
MSI ATI Radeon HD 6950 OC Twin FrozR
Crucial RealSSD M4 128GB
Asrock Z68 Extreme4 Gen3

hey, if you turn your shadows down to medium (no visual improvement that i saw) you can turn everything else to ultra/higher with no problem.

like i said earlier shadows - on on ultra loses me 40fps right there - thats why mines on medium.
everything else tottaly maxed

see my spec
Core i7 940 @ 2.9Ghz
| 12GB DDR3 1600mhz | (12GB coming today on 6GB atm)
WD Raptor 300GB
Nvidia GTX570 |

I agree, I have a mate (who has a dog) who is running on a much less powerfull system and the game is more than playable (albeit low-medium) settings.

Some are reporting improvement after this mornings update.
 
Good games last night chaps.

My performance does seem to have improved slightly, running ultra @ 1080p on:

i5 @ 4.5
HD6870CF

GPU usage is only at around 60% on GPU1 and 50% on GPU2, FPS is at 66 (assuming this is locked somewhere?) for the most part but drops down to around 35 in battles. Using the sniper scope is out of the question though, it seems to drop to around 20 as soon as you bring it up.

Naturally there isn't a crossfire profile out for it yet, so hopefully when that comes out I should see a more consistent frame rate.
 
Anyone else lost the OcUK server from the Favourites while in the server browser?

It was missing from my favourites list lastnight, but still showed up in recently played so could still join.
Never been able to connect through console though to any server, connect ip: port doesn't work for me :(

Easiest thing to do is join the Steam Group,

There always seems to be someone on the OcUK server, so you can join through them. :cool:

If there isn't anyone on heres a post I made earlier in the thread,




If you cannot see the server in your list, or have trouble adding via steam.

  • Launch RO2
  • Hit the F3 key
  • Type "open 81.19.213.42:7777"
  • Hit Enter and get your hat on ready for some bullets!
