Posted about fatigue and g-force blackouts in the ACE thread on BI forums, hopefully they'll tweak it a little

I think the only fatigue system they need to put in place is to force to player to walk for a while after a long sprint.

The black out effects are poorly done which makes them extra annoying. The recovery time from a black out is far, far too long.

In real life people don't run til they blackout, it's pretty impossible. What happens is you tire and slow down.

At the end of the day, it's still a computer game, and as good as ACE2 is, the fatigue system is piss poor.

You can disable the effects in single player by opening up the console and executing this:

Ace_NoStaminaEffects=true

I don't know if it's allowed in multi-player.

Is the stamina system enabled on the boards server?

Its something thats set by mission, I'd not be turning it off, its a good feature, just needs tweaking

Xeno, who made the Domination mission has posted this on BI

Like I allready wrote before, there are some issues with stamina currently and Rommel tries to adress them (just as a little extra pressure for Rommel ).

If everything goes well stamina will be fixed in tomorrows release.

I learned my lesson about sprinting the hard way. I was sprinting downhill for a couple of seconds to cover and started blacking out and then couldn't move. I was in bits for what seemed like minutes.

Can be turned off in Waldo but not in domination parameters.

We need to co-ordinate our roles better, need to make sure the ammo box is near by, assign one player as pilot, an AT soldier, Artillary operator, Rescue operator etc

I think we need to change up the missions now and then, even if it's not an ACE mission. I remember having good fun with Terror by the Sea, we actually tried to get co-ordinated and took turns being the leader. Domination is cool, but it gets old pretty quickly.

Just my 2 cents anyway.

Yup. I enjoyed them myself. I played a lot more cautiously.

Gun Jam is a load of ghey.

It works in games where your gun is a 90 year old piece of rust but not with Shiny new guns.

I just updated to v 219 from Kellys

PogMoThoin · 16-01-2010 01:34PM

Server updated to b219 and back up.

Remember, its very important that You delete extra files.

Also, first thing I do is change the 2 new Ace configs (ace_clientside_config) to allow crosshairs and edit in my profile name to allow gasmask, goggles etc, You'll find them in Arma2 folder\@Ace\userconfig and Arma2 folder\userconfig\Ace , both are identical, You need to do both. Here's mine, changes in red (name must be Your ingame profile name)
