    Thanks to Squaredude for the Key and Cravez for the offer.

    Q6600 @ 3Ghz & HD4890 does not achieve consistently playable frame rates even on low settings.

    Anyone find some decent missions to play? Haven't played this much in the last few days. Is wasteland still full of hackers & very buggy?


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 3,096 Mod ✭✭✭✭ktulu123


    Never mind...Watched Sacriel's stream for 10 mins & scripters messed up the server 3 times. I hope they get battleye sorted with it soon

    Just for reference, the keys don't work online.

    I gave one to a friend last night thinking we could play, but its just the showcases.

    On another note, I have two left.

    Yes there is a wasteland mission although it's extremely boring & a bit buggy. The map doesn't suit wasteland at all. Blitzkrieg is meant to be a good multiplayer mission. It's pretty much conquest from Battlefield.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,297 ✭✭✭Ri_Nollaig


    • Fish should be less inclined to travel on land
      ...

    hahaha, was this happening?


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 3,096 Mod ✭✭✭✭ktulu123


    Yeah they were swimming on the shore anyway


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 758 ✭✭✭platinums


    Shame the Gaellords BlitzKrieg is empty every time i jump on to play.

    Tee Times Warfare has been occupying my attention, its a port of Warfare Be (Benny) from Arma II.

    You can purchase units ( Sniper, Demo Man, Rifle Man) up to 5, then purchase vehicles guns etc.

    I stick all my units in a chopper and go take out a camp, OR stick all my units into their own choppers and form my own sky platoon thus striking terror into OPFOR and spreading fear throughout Stratis..
