Whats the latest?

[[MAD]Inferno]

The last patch was released on July 18th and I don't think I have read any news in regards to GRAW 2 new patches or any updates. People have been ranting about a need for an anti-cheat, server tools, mp lagging issue, a way to connect my means of ip, and several others.

We do need something soon. I would like to see a formal update by GRIN on what they are doing but that may be asking for too much.

So here is what I would like to see:

• Xfire needs an update so you can join by friend

• There needs to be a program or option to join by IP

• We need more maps. It is hear say but I heard that there were several maps for GRAW 2 already made but not release yet?

• We need an update to the AC or something added

• I don't have a server up yet but as soon as I do a server tools would be nice

• I have noticed a lagging issue in game. My ping will be 50-60 and my fps 80-100 and I still notice times of lag. I shoot at someone and get cover before they shoot back and I die around the time I am physically behind cover.

• It seems like the manual for the game isn't complete. I would love to see a weapons stat page something like that of Raven Shield. Also when you are playing TDM you have a number beside of your name while playing and it constantly changes. Does anyone know what this is? It is actually a number is white that is in the box right below your name.

• Also while playing last night I got an error at least 4x "Client Out Of Sync" with a retry button that the bottom.

One note - that number you see is the number of players left on your team. If you are playing a no respawn, limited respawn, or RvA game and you see a 1 next to it that means you are the only one left.

Agree that we need more maps. We'll have to wait for the editor unfortunately. However the 2 that you are referencing were maps that GRIN made that were never completed for whatever reasons and were not activated. I have played them by unbundling the game files and they are OK but obviously not ready for release so were wisely not made active.

The CoS's... Make sure the server isn't running the max 3000 network speed which can cause mass CoS's emptying the server and rotating it to the next round/map. Next, make sure you are not running any kind of Overclocking or overclocking software. I was using an application from Asus that dynamically OC'd my cpu and constantly got CoS's. Once I disabled it, no more CoS's.

This probably happend because the server's CPU couldn't handle the number of players, so it took quite a while for it to calculate the things happend. The Netcode is great, but hardware requirements for the servers are quite high.

Give GRiN some time, I'd rather have a longer support than a quick patch and that's it

You obviously missed the thread 2 days ago asking the same thing

We can't give info on what is possible for a patch, only talk about what what you already have. that's the way game development works.

When it's done we'll list what it does.

and there are enough "What GRIN should add/fix" threads already without people having one each
