hmm. after reading these posts i guess the old adage "burn me once, shame on you, burn me twice, shame on me."
I will not purchase this game unless the veterans on this forum confirm it is a worthy successor of [GR].
GRAW has simply left me ###### off.

Dude you forgot to black out the largest FTP link in that screenshot. Are you blind?
You have to admit it is rather foolish to leave the FTP open, allowing anyone to upload or delete whatever they want. So far that is the only thing wrong that I've seen (not that I've gotten far....).
Yes it is, people make mistakes though and sometimes forget things. However, that doesn't matter much, does it. People, who are not Ubisoft employees, are abusing someone elses property, being accepted to the beta doesn't give them that right.
This beta is totally half-assed. Admit it. Any other beta would give us direct contact to the devs. Not this one...
At least all the other beta's I've participated in have....

hah something really IS broken....
ncftp / > cd QUOTA : graw-betatest, you use -0.23Gb of 9.31Gb

Man..i really feel bad for you guys. Its been fun testing everything out. There is still one server i cant get into though. Its the US seige beta server. It says my files dont match the servers. I can get into the other 3 though.
Anyways, i hope this gets cleared up soon cause there needs to be more than what there is now.
that's seriously not fair

i cant get the file either.
i wonder if they gave out info to everyone who signed up but then only let the first X number of people actually download it?
edit: from linux's cli ftp I am getting
425 Unable to build data connection: No route to host
whenever i try to ls

What about nades bouncing off guys and not going off? Last night I was playing CO-OP. One of the guys dies so I wanted to start the mission over by killing my team member... (no not that team member) the guys tanding beside me... he was maybe 10 feet away.. Shot right at him and bounced off and just layed on the ground? I tried to blow both of us up after that and same thing.. I think he was only 5 feet distance.. was going for 2 for 1?
We had no nades left and could no shoot one another... one would be left standing? This is kind of like the bouncing a GL off a building wall .. just bounces with no explosion?
That is by design. I do believe the real model does the same. It's so you don't accidently kill yourself in real life. They won't explode unless over 10 meters i do believe. Also i have though killed people by hitting them with the shell as i do believe it can hurt them, just not as bad as an explosion.
Real life M203's require 9 or 11 rotations before they're armed. I can't remember the # for sure. Anyway, it turns out to be ~30 meters.

Also if you have an old NIC, go and get a new one that allow "offload of network tasks" it will help. I have an Intel and played with it and know that it helps (from 15 years of building NT servers).
Don't buy into this gimmick. Your processor is not being 100% utilized by your game every second, and packaging data at the rate it takes for games and TeamSpeak is not enough to put any considerable load on your processor. Maybe .2% ....
Remember people, he built NT servers for 15 years

And as usual:

Razer Barracuda headset now on sale... $129
supposed to blow away the competition. I believe it's 7.1 in those, might be 5.1 though.

a friend of mine once impressed his boss by being able to upgrade a flaky network driver without anyone losing their connections or noticing.
it was a module, so he just patched and recompiled, then scripted to drop the interface, rmmod'd and insmod'd, and brought the interface back up very quickly and nobody even knew it was gone

The deal is this, i can't publish my app because it uses some GPLed code and as such i would need to distribute source with binary. I dont want to distribute source unless i'm happy people wont point and laugh while reading it. I dont think i can legaly distribute dxe reversed source files either but would like some feedback from the GRIN or someone in the know.
Dude... whoa... slow down.
Step 1) GPL your own code
Step 2) Put this up on a code repo like CVS or SVN
Step 3) Let the community work WITH you!!
Seriously, nobody is going to point and laugh at you! You should be proud of what you've done, and learn from this experience. If anyone can help do some bugfixing or notice some holes/memory leaks/what have you, it's for the best!
The better tools we have, the better community we have.
Trust me, I'm a HUGE Linux fanatic. If there's one thing you should learn it's to not be ashamed of your programming skills! Would we even have Linux if Linus was "scared people would point and laugh at him"? Where would the internet be without the open source revolution he helped start?
For the community's sake, you should release it. Really!

I'm an [GR] player... started at the demo. This game has brought back some memories, but there's so much more that I've wanted out of it.
GRiN, keep up the dedication. With every patch this game is becoming more and more enjoyable. It doesn't need to be an [GR] clone -- we just want some of the best parts brought back, and I see you're doing your best. Hamburger Hill will be wonderful!!
So... can we get dedi and more people in coop by the end of August?
Thanks
oh... yeah, I know I've had a lot more posts on here.... in fact I had a really old forum account. I just can't remember what it was or what alias I was using back then. Shame on me....

** This isn't sarcasm or humor. It's in all seriousness. You simply can't get a stable server environment on Windows.

I am a systems administrator for a very large company and here is my professional opinion in one word: BULLCRAP.
I'm a Network Engineer for a good sized company and our Windows servers must be regularly restarted. We have a Linux server that has 450 days of uptime though.

Here's my professional opinion in one word: LINUX
Windows server as in web server ...? Nt, 2000, or 2003?
Our companies 2003 standard server only needed restarted once in 2 years because we added the new R2 version and upped it from a standard P4 to a Dual core. It's a domain controller and also hosts quickbooks and does Ghost Casting for pc cloning. It also has Ghost Recon 1 on it (which we would run a mod server on) and Teamspeak for our comms. Not bad for a domain controller.
Our GRAW server is on a 2003 R2 Server also on 3mb x 768 DSL. tonight was the 1st restart it had since GRAW came out. It's also a domain controller for 2 workstations in my house. It's up time is usually about every 3 to 4 months, though not because it needs it but because i install the windows updates and it asks to restart it.
I have seen from multiple web hosts though... Linux servers with mysql databases need restarted a lot to flush the error logs. (seen this from 2 hosts so far)
But the issue there is that you were failing to keep Windows up to date which is a necessity for the Windows environment no matter how well it is firewalled. You simply can't risk NOT having it updated.
Now as for the MySQL error logs: That would be an issue with their administration of the servers. They obviously don't know what they are doing because:
1) you never need to restart Linux except for a kernel update
2) they could have scripted a clearing of the logs or
3) they could have done some better log management (logrotate/logwatch) and mysql tweaking
Usually the things people point out as flaws in Linux are issues caused by lack of knowledge of the admin. And it's not like this is the kind of knowledge that requires years and years of experience, either....
Now I don't want to start a war, but the records show who tends to be more reliable and have longer uptimes. (Please don't bring in Microsoft FUD or any other articles.... they're a joke. Also, the famous Netcraft stats showing Windows being up the longest was actually admins cheating -- they were rebooting nightly when Netcraft wasn't monitoring them.)
So let's end that rant and discuss the linux server and what things we'd like to see included with it, in the event it does get created.
I vote for multihome, rcon (both Windows and Linux), and a well design. (FEAR anyone? That server is the BEST dedicated server I've ever seen! Starts up in ~3 seconds on my box because it only loads what is NECESSARY unlike the Unreal Engine/BF2 servers which act like they're loading the maps and textures into ram...)

Not having a Linux dedicated server and expecting a thriving online community is equivalent to sawing your testicles off and expecting to still be able to have children.
Please, GRiN, do it for the children.

I was UADD_Feld for years

I think GR1 is still better.... at least until they fix this crippled multiplayer

After it's released, when will you be buying GRAW2?
in GR:AW 2 (PC) - General Discussion
Posted
Not unless it becomes OGR2. Myself and my friends are highly disappointed in this game. Highly.
GRiN, I know you're hearing conflicting information. Some people want their OGR2, some want their GRAW2.
Here's the real deal.
If you make OGR2, I can GUARANTEE you that you will find a larger fanbase than there ever has been for GRAW.
Remember that cash cow [GR] was? You can bring all those people back to your product if you just give them what they want. There are more people in this world that want OGR2 than want GRAW2. It's as simple as that.
I won't be buying it unless the demo shows me it's OGR2. Buying GRAW was the biggest videogame purchasing mistake I've ever made.
