Cattes server admin, it might be to a good idea to get rid of the Last Man Standing maps, or at least remove the LMS version of the map where the Masons are supposed to kill peasants. The server has a tendency to hemorrhage players on that particular map because it's just too drat big with too many places to hide.

Ya well I tried but no matter what I do I can't make the map rotation I create stick so it always just defaults to the default rotation. I'll mess around with it some more though.

It's possible to change at least. I've played on a few non-official servers that have custom rotations.

THE BLUE DEMON RIDES AGAIN


I'm having FPS issues with this game. I couldn't really run it well at all until I updated my drivers (I'm running on a Radeon HD5850). Now I can run it reasonably well at the lowest settings, but as soon as I enter combat, my FPS slows down to where I can't tell what's going on. Is there a solution to this other than "upgrade computer?"

I have a computer that should be able to run it at max settings fine, but for some reason sometimes its just choppy as hell. I cant figure it out. It has to be a game problem since turning all settings down does nothing.

That's what I found too. Turning my settings all the way up hardly lowered the framerate at all in non-combat situations.

Are the weapons that branch past the warhammer worth unlocking if I don't really care for the warhammer itself?. I like the giant 2 handed maul type weapons but the warhammer seems to be a dinky 1 hander.

Mar 23, 2009

lmao pwnd gg~


That "dinky 1-hander" is possibly the most fearsome weapon in the heavy's arsenal, when used against heavily armored targets. I'd even venture to say it's overpowered, because it has very high combo speed and can kill a knight in two hits.

The 1-H seem wimpy at first and take more skill to use due to the lower reach.

But with some blocking/dodge practice they become really impressive due to the much faster attack rate while 2H have a really long recovery time by comparison.

Hope they release a hotfix soon, for the leveling/server issues. Performance issues might be more complicated.

I can max the game and it runs smooth (looks loving gorgeous. Every game needs light shafts) but it will randomly get choppy for no reason. That doesn't bother me as much as having 30 Gsword kills and not being any closer to the next unlock.

I hope there's some kind of level system introduced. Just for cosmetic purposes, but it would give me some sense of progress as I play the game.

How does the king work? Is he a specific class, does it always pick the number one player on a team, can he opt out of king duty, does he get to pick his weapon?

I think he means he'd like something more than a number since he said cosmetic. I don't know about levels, but cosmetics would be nice so I can actually look different than 1/4 classes on each team. The customization is one of the things that almost drew me to WotR but charge attacks don't seem like my idea of fun.

One reoccurring issue that is getting stupidly annoying is lack of auto-balance/anti-switch being on by default. I continuously had to switch teams tonight because the other team had a 2-3 person disadvantage, and somehow people would switch ot the other team and cause the advantage to flip.

e: also I've seen a few goons around like Brackhar, seems like goon interest might be higher than the average pubbies interest.
e2: oh hey, Chivalry is actually top selling on steam. Did WoTR hit #1?

I'm pretty sure the game will get quite a few new things over time, it might take a bit of time but going alone by the kickstater campaign we still have to receive the following stretch goals:

  • New weapons
  • Fisticuffs (?)
  • Duel Mode

And I really hope they will release the SDK as well.

I just spawned as a King. From what I understand, it goes to the top scorer. And he always comes in with a battleaxe/2h sword combo.

And holy hell he can take a lot of hits before going down.

Again, for people with choppiness issues, Try lowering the resolution. Even if your computer is made for something better, it makes a difference. For me, knocking it down by two levels turned it from 'chugga chugga' to 'smooth as butter.'

watch this video & put it in the OP - the only thing stopping it from being the most relevant video for current and prospective players is the absence of a z/x/c key tutorial... maybe they are saving that for tutorial #3 - masterclass.

I don't know exactly why I thought this was a dumbed down version of the mod. I've been doing some stabbing/overheads, but I didn't realize all of these mechanics were still in and even improved.

Looks like I've got to get back into practice!

Played some on the goonserver yesterday with 200 ping (eu yay) and i didn't notice alot of problems. Some lag, but from my side it was def playable. I usually finished first or top 3 on the FFA's so yeah.

How it looked for the other people i don't know though. I might have been warping around making it hell to play against.

It's bizarre to see lag or even the server crash in the browser problem since the Unreal Engine is pretty mature.

Also looks like all the unlocks are stored locally, I deleted the folder under Mygames to fix the browser crash issue and it reset all the unlocks.

Unreal Engine 3 has quite possibly the worst server browser in decades. I'm not surprised at all. Just about every game that uses the default browser has problems.

Ya maybe put in the OP that you can use Steam to add servers and connect via the out of game server browser. Just add 27015 as the port for the server since that's what it uses for its query stuff. Joining on friends via steam also works.
