IamJAFO Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 it started on a friday and listed as over by monday. ok based on that scenario, is that game that damn good?, or was this another GRAW1 like Beta? GRAW1 had beta tests the same way. one day a beta patch releases, then two days later..BAM final release. I hardly think anyone can fix all those bugs so damn fast. Does anyone else agree/disagree? -IamJAFO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judge_Recluse Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 I think its more of a situation where the game in their eyes, is pretty much done, but want to catch any bugs that feel through the crack. Not so much in the fact so they can fix them by launch, but at least get a head start on them, so if need be, a patch can be released sooner rather than later after launch.

The Gamespy, just checking it out the other day had a nice little banner on it that said the Beta is over or something to that effect. -IamJAFO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannik Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 That's the signup for the beta that is over, not the actual testing period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philkilla Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 If they wanted to be sure and catch all the bugs, maybe they shouldn't be so stringent on the system requirements just to test it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRIN_Wolfsong Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 (edited) If they wanted to be sure and catch all the bugs, maybe they shouldn't be so stringent on the system requirements just to test it. Well, low system specs is a bug that's up to the user to solve. The Beta gives a heads up on that. Edited April 24, 2007 by Wolfsong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nutlink Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 If they wanted to be sure and catch all the bugs, maybe they shouldn't be so stringent on the system requirements just to test it. If you are referring to the 2GB of RAM, that was a mistake. It was changed later on during the sign up to be 1GB, which it should have been all along. Other than that the requirements weren't really that high. The were basically the same as GRAW 1 . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forrester Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 too bad there are hardly any players testing, I was online yesterday 20.00-23.00 GMT+1 and 3 players were on GRAW2 so I had to fall back on playing GRAW1..... I'd like to se a full server assault/defend someday, that game is no fun with <8 players..... And there are plenty of bufgs to report, but you cannot see what's been reported before (on the UBI beta site) so you don't know what to report.... It would be really nice to be able to play online with some of the GRIN dudes on Teamspeak to discuss gameplay/bugs.....HINT HINT ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IamJAFO Posted April 24, 2007 Author Share Posted April 24, 2007 probably won't happen Forrester. If this is all ringing true, then this community is in trouble. Mod support might not be improved at all. If that is also the case, what fun will there be then? I also remember hearing about an issue with the bug reporting tool. if it is not working, then what's the point? fedayn calls it a desert wow what a sad state of affairs then. -IamJAFO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know GRIN is doing all it can..... I know they read these forums and pick up hints.... a reminder of that are a lot of suggestions posted ghere being implemented in GRAW2 and the 1.35 patch of GRAW1 But UBI is the company that makes the decisions whether to use our hints or not (GRAW pc and GRAW console may not stray apart too much...., and some suggestions take too much effort to implement) I see Grin has talken a lot of our comments in GRAW2, and I only hope they fix half of what is being reported before release..... that would make GRAW2 a huge hit if you ask me..... And if UBI allowes them I'd love to meet them ingame and on TS to discuss some trouble still in GRAW2...... might be a lot easier to get stuff cleared out.... and to keep all whiners out they may password the TS and keep different rooms for one GRIN employee and one or 2 players.....

Naw, don't mis-understand me. I reffered to UBISOFT's reporting tool. I understand this isn't a GRIN issue. Grin is rather caught in between a rock and a hard spot. -IamJAFO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scope Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 I know the beta testers can't really say anything because of the NDA thing, but how much have the requirements for GRAW2 gone up from GRAW1? I don't get great FPS on my system with GRAW1 so just wondering if anyone had any clues. Specs bellow: CPU - AMD Athlon XP 3200+ (2.2Ghz) RAM - 1GB Corsair Value Select, PC2700, 333Mhz GPU - HIS ATI X1650PRO 512mb AGP OS - Win XP Pro PSU - 420w Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IamJAFO Posted April 24, 2007 Author Share Posted April 24, 2007 mine are still the same; AMD64 3700+ 2GB Infineon DDR ram ATI X1800GTO 256 SB audigy4 simple system and maybe low end by todays standards -IamJAFO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cangaroo.TNT Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 The GRAW 2 min/rec specs are listed on the GRAW 2 website. I believe they are lower than GRAW 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scope Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 low end are you kidding me, thats a good system lol. I'm only managing about 25fps on med/low settings my CPU is bottlenecking my whole system because the gpu is pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janie42 Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 I understand this isn't a GRIN issue. Grin is rather caught in between a rock and a hard spot. Grin's probably not just a/the helpless victim in all this: afterall, Grin are contracted professionals, not some little Ma & Pop Shop with no choice but to be dragged along by an "almighty" Ubi! Still, what a lot of messups with this beta! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRIN_Wolfsong Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 low end are you kidding me, thats a good system lol. I'm only managing about 25fps on med/low settings my CPU is bottlenecking my whole system because the gpu is pretty good. The CPU would need replacing to get GRAW1/2 to run well on decent settings. 2.2GHz would been really good about 3-4 years ago. But then I'm still on a 1,8GHz from 5 years ago at home, so I can't play them at all there. I also think your RAM could cause some minor problems. 333Mhz RAM isn't really that good for gaming.

scope Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 I would like to upgrade, and I do actually have the cash too, only problem its in my savings account lol and I don't think my parents would be too impressed if I blew it all on a PC lol.

ROCO*AFZ* Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 I got a quad core coming this week... anyone think GRAW 2 will support 4 cores? and an 8800GTX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRIN_Wolfsong Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 anyone think GRAW 2 will support 4 cores? I think you can count on it. If the engine is adjusted to support multicore, is should use all the cores it can find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrishStout Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 I think the beta was released to catch any bugs that could be reported. I understand some people had issue with the bug reporting tool. I was not one of them. So far, other then forking out $7 for the beta, everything else has been smooth for me. I have reported several bugs and can only hope that these will make there way to GRIN for patching. Althought it seems like fun, bug testing is hard work and repetitve. After 5 nights and a weekend.. I need a break. Not only that - look at current GRAW - not tones of people on there, why would you think that a limited relased beta would be flocking with people. I can say for the first week, there where quite the number of people on.. It also get frustrating when you are trying to beta test and you have a few yahoo's spawn camping. I could care less if you kill me 100 times in a row.. your no hero.. I only care if you kill me 100 times and it only show 99 times.. if you get my drift.. not only that servers are set and can not be changed to people's linkings.. Anyway, all i can say, if I have not already said to much.. RvA is awesome.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
