    Lost Teammates?

    in GR:AW (PC) - Tech Support

    Posted

    Happens to me alot too. Ive had to complete 3 missions so far without all my teammates. Ive tried everything to get them out.

    Has anyone got the bug where one of your teamates starts running in small circles and yelling "reloading" over and over. You cannot get him to move no matter what command you do. The only thing you can do to stop the annoyance is to put him down.

    GAMESPOT REVIEW 7.8

    in GR:AW (PC) - General Discussion

    Posted

    7.8 is a little low, maybe an 8.0 or so? Nothing higher than an 8.3, not with the game in it's current state.

    They cited many bugs in the browser, all of which are true, but if anyone remembers, BF2's original browser was complete and utter crap. They patched it up and now it's fine. I expect the same with GRAW.

    I've made some good choices in single player games lately. FEAR was one of the best I've ever played, I enjoyed Quake 4 a lot, and now I have GRAW. I think it will replace FEAR as my favorite "modern" single player game to date. I had plenty of oh ###### moments in FEAR, but in just the first two missions with GRAW, I've done so much planning and thinking and wow'ing and running and what not, it's just been great. The fact that I was playing and commanding other humans like in real life made the situation even better. Getting through a co-op level is a real accomplishment, and although it's frustarating at times (like when enemies spawn behind you because you've moved up a little too quick) it's still a blast. I'd give the SP alone a 9.0. The multiplayer (minus co-op, which I've had no connection problems with, then again I'm always hosting) does deserve it's rating of a 7.8, probably lower. It's a shame. I truley believe GRIN and Ubi won't abandon us though, the game can only improve from here guys.

    Nice post. I agree. I think the SP of this game has even surpassed GR1. The MP needs alittle work, but if they continue to put the effort in enhancing the MP as they have the SP. Its gonna be fantastic.

    For the Multiplayer aspect of the game. The spark is there. We have a nice solid foundation for a great game to start with. All we need to do is build up. :grin1:

    TOP TEN Things to ADD

    in GR:AW (PC) - General Discussion

    Posted

    Sorry Colin, Not in order and a few more than 10.  :ph34r:

    1. More MP Gametypes (Siege,LMS,SAR,HH)

    2. More Server Info- when joining a game it would be nice to see the options the server is running on. How many respawns, how much time is left, what mods are running etc..

    3. More Game Options- Add more detailed graphics and sound options, give us the ability to customize the game abit more. Change colors and opacity of hud and crosshair.

    4. Peaking Toggle- Add an option where we can use a toggle for peaking, like what was used in the [GR]. Hold the peakbutton to peak and when you let go of the button you automatically become standing upright again.

    5. Quick Comments to a key bind- The ability to assign chat text to the numpad keys. So we dont have to manually type everything in game.

    6. Binoculars- Give us some binos.

    7. Clicking sound- Add a clicking sound when out of ammo.

    8. ScoreBoard- Add the ability to assign a key to view the scoreboard in MP instead of only getting to see it when you die.

    9. Chatbox- Option to disable the chatbox, or give us the option to decide between a chatbox or standard chat format.

    10. A built in screenshot feature.

    11. Kit Restriction feature- Add option to let users restrict what types of guns,grenades etc are allowed on the server.

    12. More Weapons- Give us some oldschool weapons. M4,M16's, also give us the ability to use the Mexican weapons for MP.

    13. More Maps- Import over some maps from GR,DS,IT

    14. Mod Tools- Sandbox editor, Mission Scripting, Sound Editing tools.

    15. More Coop Gametypes- Firefight,Defend,Recon.

    16. A respawn timer for the Domination mode.- Domination wouldnt work well with 0 respawns. But It would be nice to at least be able to set a timer (hosts choice) for how long a player as to wait to respawn.

    17. Access to engine Console- lock options that would be considered cheats for the MP and leave them unlocked for SP.

    18. More detailed afteraction statistics- Show the hit %, the amount of TK's, the amount of Suicides, the amount of time spent in each Zone. Any and every statistic that you can record and display.

    19. A Mod section in the game browser- So we can enable and disable certain mods\expansion packs when the time comes.

    20. More options for gameplay.- Deadbody(on\off) Amount of Bullets (scalable) MaxpacketSize (scalable) MaxRate (scalable) Skip intro scenes (on\off) Position of the crosscom (topleft\topright) Hud (on\off)

    21. Spectator Mode- Plus a server option to decide wether we can view team players only or everyone. So in matches we can make sure that spectators arent giving away positions over TeamSpeak.

    22. Shuffle- A quiet walk, thats slower but doesnt make as much noise as normal walking. Ive noticed that alot of people in MP just camp high traffic areas and wait to hear footsteps. Being able to walk slowly and sneak up on them would be a great balance for that.

    23. Option to turn down the  announcers voice in Multiplayer. The voice is loud and sometimes annoying. Id like the option to turn it down as low or high as I wanted. Maybe a seperate volume control for all voices?

    24. Vsync- On\Off

    25. Death Cam- Id like to have a death cam that was similiar to the Call of Duty series.

    OPTIONS!!! :D

    26. Kick\Ban server option- Also adding the ability to set a timer for how long to kick someone. (5mins-15mins-Permanatley ban)etc etc..

    27. Block offensive\racist\sexist names- ability to type in names in a filter that you wish not to be allowed on your server.

    28.Force respawn- In respawn games. Option for server hosts to force the players to respawn. Give the host the option to decide how long the person can wait before being forced to respawn back into the action.

    29. Day/Night and Real time weather effects- Id like to be able to play on a map in the morning, then later in the afternoon the soon starts moving across the sky and maybe it starts to get darker..and then starts raining. Give the hosts to adjust this ability in the server control.

    30. A player search in the game browser.

    31.Coordinate Grids for the tac-map. Option to turn them (on\off) -Overlay mode

    32. Having your own personal player name at the bottom of the hud. I like having this for Screenshots.

    33. Direct IP support- Id like to have just another tab in the MP browser. The 3rd tab could be for Direct IP access.

    34. After Action chat- put a chat box at the bottom of the after action statistics page.

    35. Punish for TK's- Server option to punish for TKs. By automatically kicking them after the max(server specified) Tks for the amount of time that would also be set by the server. For example. 3 tks = 15min kick from server

    36. Fix the Join button bug on the MP browser screen. Sometimes I have to push that thing 10 times to enter a room.

    37. A status bar for the loading screens.

    The settings I have really doesnt matter. I might as well just crank them all the way up. It doesnt make a lick of difference to my performance. I absolutley cannot make it any worse or any better. Its really mind boggling. The only setting that has any effect on my frame rate is the Sound and Post effect options

    Just for fun I put my resolution on 800x600 with all settings on their lowest. I still got exactly the same frame rate. :wacko:

    Disabling sound increases FPS?

    in GR:AW (PC) - Tech Support

    Ive noticed this as well. The sound is extremely demanding on this game. I kinda feel that the sound is the main reason why all of us no matter what our setups are pretty much getting the same frame rate no matter what settings we use. I mean I get the exact same frame rate if I set all my settings to low..as I do if I set them all to max. There are only two things in this game that really affect my performance. Those are the Post Effects and sound. I put my sound in Software Mode on Medium and it gives me a large 15fps boost. It doesnt sound any different, I can still hear all the background sounds.

    Its very strange. If I disable my sound all together Im getting close to a 20fps boost. Never in my long history of PC gaming has sound settings ever played this much of a role in my performance on a game.

    Anyone else notice that TeamSpeak and Ventrillo, both screw up sometimes while playing GRAW? I was on TS with 3 other people earlier tonight and all of us was complaining about not being able to hear and our voices being muffled, sound cutting in and out on the coms. Its almost like there isnt enough bandwidth left for the sound. Ive noticed that when I put it in Software mode in the game. It seems to help TeamSpeak work better too.

    The MP is great. There are lots of tactics involved. Just for example, I had just took over a zone. I then went to the adjacent zone and shot the car in the zone I was just in and the car alarm went off. Then some poor sap on the other team went to investigate my trap. :D:o=

    This game runs fantastic in MP. Im on a 7600GT. Med settings @1280 and it runs anywhere from 40-80 fps. Its always real smooth. No slowdowns. In sp im getting about 25-50 fps.

    *Edit* I have noticed that the MP can get laggy (bullet lag). We will def need some dedicated server files.

    I spoke with the UBI store about my order still being in the processing stage, they said it wasn't do to ship until tomorrow. I then asked what the OFFICIAL release date was and he told me May 7th  :huh:  I'm cornfused, yes......cornfused.  :wacko:

    I spoke with them earlier and was told it would be shipping tomorrow and us overnighters would be getting the game on the 3rd. Who knows if its true though.

    Ok, if this is true. Let's look at the facts.

    1) The game is not made for the casual gamer as their system can't handle it. (the casual gamer does NOT have an uber system, nor can they typically afford it. They also make up a vast portion of the gaming market.  (and when you put everything to low you still get poor framerates..not to mention it looks ugly. Why would I play an ugly, buggy game when I can play BF2 with 64 players on my crappy system and it still looks very nice??)

    2) No mod tools...means people into modding or enjoy playing mods will likely not buy it. (myself included being as I fall into both of these categories)

    Do these guys LIKE shooting themselves in the foot?  Or do they actually think they are going to get enough hardcore gamers with super systems (very small minority mind you) to make a profit of this thing? :P

    Kinda ironic isnt it?

    IF this is true, they built a game as they have said that will only run to full potential on "future" systems. Yet, they wont have anything to keep people playing it in the future. Most of the things most of us gamers consider to be "standard" things to be put in any game released in this day and age aren't included. Our last hope was modding tools to at least be able to add the stuff they didnt get time to or just neglected to. Like more MP modes, Maps, modding in options for the game etc. Now if this is true, without even having the option to do any of that ourself. We have a very basic MP game with pretty graphics.

    AGEIA Physx? GRIN and bare it?

    in GR:AW (PC) - General Discussion

    Posted · Edited by VeLocityChaos

    You can still use ageia physx without the card. Am I the only one that ran the physx demo that installs with ageia? If there isnt a card detected it still runs the physx code off your CPU instead in software mode. I would assume maybe in GRAW that certain parts of Ageia code is ran in software mode as well?

    If this isnt the case then I would like to know why its needed as well.

    It sucks to find out about this right when the game is fixing to ship to my house. From all the things GRIN told us in the past, about adding our own weapons and maps etc... I never thought this would be an issue.

    How can anyone in their right mind think that 2 mp modes and 5 maps will be enough to satisfy the average GR fan? This is ridiculous. This game wont last 3 months without Mods. There just isnt enough there to make it replayable. Add in the fact we dont have dedicated server support and MP is dead before it even starts.
