How do I j4g? Because playing with pubs in this game is the biggest loving waste of time imaginable. I've managed to play one game where the host didn't randomly drop within the first five minutes. It was fun. We got stuck in the mud. Then we got unstuck.

Well, that GPU is twice around as fast as the HD6290. Does the tech demo have adjustable graphic settings? I'm running on low settings and suprisingly I am GPU-bound. This is the third time I'm trying to deliver the load on the B-130

JDAMS CURE PASHTUN posted:You won't fit between those trees. I tried driving between two trees but my angle was a bit off due to lovely camera angles. So I backed up to readjust and somehow got stuck between a tree in front and behind me. Permanently stuck too, there was basically no give at all. Also in the very first minute I started playing I drove across one bridge and then fell off the next one. Spintires is the dark souls of sim games.

I've only played the tech demo thus far but goddamn are there some sexy-good vehicles for it, so I fully intend on adding extras when I get the full version.

I bought this the other day after reading the kotaku article and am almost at twenty hours already. I've wanted to play multiplayer with people who don't drop in the first five minutes so i've made a Steam group for anyone looking for a winching buddy. http://steamcommunity.com/groups/goontires This is the first time I have made a steam group so I hope I did everything right.

so on the first map I found that big 8 wheeled beast with 4 turning wheels but it was out of fuel I took that truck that comes with the crane up to the garage, removed the crane, put on a fuel tanker, took it over clear to the other side of the map where I'd seen a fuel depot while I was scouting with the UAZ or whatever it is, filled it up and went back to the 8 wheeled beast only to discover a loaded fuel truck nearby oh well, I eventually got the 8 wheeled beast loaded up with some short logs and delivered 2 units worth before calling it a night before that I tried to deliver some logs with that blue truck with chains on the back tires, but I rolled it on 3 separate occasions Al Harrington fucked around with this message at 08:01 on Jun 22, 2014 |

Been rocking this thing all week. I'm pretty good i think. I had a version, then i bought it. Gotta say though, in 5760x1080, it's amazing!!! I've joined the Goontires group. I have a small TS server setup if needed. Rocksicles fucked around with this message at 11:23 on Jun 22, 2014 |

I don't know if it's that wise to own up to pirating games. I hope there isn't some kind of limit to the size of maps. I can't wait for the inevitable huge endurance map. Coop "get from A to B" would be really cool.

Is the Sisyphus achievement just bugged? It seems to be the first one everyone gets; I got it my first time playing and I'm almost certain I didn't meet the requirements.

I think some internal value rolls over when you roll back with your handbrake on or something, as soon as I got it (before leaving the starting area for the first time) the progress value was some colossal number.Al Harrington posted:so on the first map I found that big 8 wheeled beast with 4 turning wheels but it was out of fuel Wallrod fucked around with this message at 15:48 on Jun 22, 2014 |

I just spent a couple of hours doing two player coop. So much fun. And mud. Driving the same path while loaded up with logs and helping each other out with winching when necessary made for a great experience. It probably helped that we had two computers set up side by side. Trying to pull a tipped over truck on its wheels with the car turned out to be too difficult however. The vehicles really need winch spots on the sides.

Impatience is the worse sin in this game, at least with hubris you can actually do some cool stuff occasionally like climbing a steep hill covered with trees. Incidentally just because there are some places you can drive at full throttle on fifth gear doesn't mean you should.

During that game on The River I did get the optimus prime truck from the starting garage to the garage to the far east garage hauling a garage trailer (4 points!) by going slow and getting lucky with winch points.(Listening to The Touch also helped a bit.) I think the most common thing I have had to tell pubs in multiplayer is that you can't just how down the winching button, you actually have to drive the vehicle while winching. What do you guys listen to while playing this? I've found CCR goes really with with this game.

IF you get the tow vehicle on the side facing the chassis, and winch the the highest tow point, it should flip easy, but not always I use the crane a lot too, swing it it either extended right out flat as a counter balance, or on the lee side of the bog to stop it rolling.

Hey, we're back! Simply Bagel made a Steam group for Spintires: http://steamcommunity.com/groups/goontires Giant Bomb did a Quick Look of Spintires: http://www.giantbomb.com/videos/quick-look-spintires/2300-9155/ Adding both to the OP as well.

While the forums were down I learned that you can pick up trucks using the log-crane. So far the easiest way to flip a truck if you can't get a good angle for winching is to grab a tire with the crane arm and try to swing it over.

I can't believe how many hours i've put into this game. I've completed two of the maps, one of them twice. I know the OP says it's different but it's got the zen thing of euro truck simulator except instead of weaving a truck full of acid between traffic at 70mph you're weaving a truck full of garage parts through trees at 4mph. Also, i think the thread title needs to be changed to Ural Truck Simulator. Wallrod fucked around with this message at 15:07 on Jun 26, 2014 |

This game is phenomenal, I can't believe how fun it is. I had a great multiplayer experience with some random guy; the sense of camaraderie when you winch each other out of the poo poo is just crazy. There are so many minor accomplishments along the way to failure that are so satisfying... it brings a lot of the joy I get out of serious flight sims, but without the helmet fire that goes along with dealing with all those systems. Spintires distills the sim experience down in a unique way. It also looks great.

So glad to see a thread for this game. I've beaten Hill, Coast, and Plains on normal with some self-set "rules" (hardcores too hardcore). Okay, one rule - each vehicle only gets one "recover to garage." And I realllly need to be hosed to use it. hosed like "4 trucks stuck in the same mudpit on plains because I'm an idiot" stuck. Its the best part of this game. Getting successive vehicles stuck in almost the same place because "I know I can drive around and then I'll have a better angle and can winch myself out if I start to slide." You can't drive around.

I took 5 hours to finish Volcano on hardcore. Because i once rolled my long trailer on a beach, and once in a very tight gully. I refused to restart it or go back and reload. I went a bit road rage trying to drive my Kraz around refilling 8x8's. I got blind navigation for that feat of endurance.

I was 12 hours on my first "Coast" clear, but it was when I just got the game and I spent way too long just banging around looking for ways to get stuck. Now I'm working and want to play Spintires. gently caress.
