    For anyone else with low FPS.

    Go into your user options.ini file and reduce render distance to 1000.

    Default is -1.000000 which apparently is infinity so your card is trying to render to infinity.

    1000 gave me a boost of 30+ fps and now its playable (but Im still crap at it so it wasnt the fps) :D:D

    where is this file located? definitely going to try this

    Had a great time last night on esamir, spent the night moving north up the map and ended up gating the NC, then the treacherous TR turned on their disco loving allies and allowed the nc to taste sweet freedom again!

    Esamir was rocking last night. Pop-locked continent so was a dog to get onto, but once on it was fun. Spent quite a while defending a relay station against repeated assault by barney (VS for those uneducated in the derisory references of the TR :P ) with my outfit.

    Few tips I can give for new players:

    H - bigger minimap with more area covered
    B - Changes fire mode on the gun (auto/single shot etc.)
    Buy 1 point in Nanoweave armor (10% more health) for 1 cert and equip it; you're most likely to die from enemy infantry fire and 1 cert for 10% more health is a good start as you'll want to go down that tree anyway.

    Oh and buy up grenades early and keep them stocked as it uses resources to buy and you'll gain up more resources over time :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,604 ✭✭✭DeSelby83


    this is going to sound very nooby but where do you get to buy new guns or upgrades?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,518 ✭✭✭✭Varik


    Game is messing up my PC, r becomes win+r (run) and space become win+space (minimize) with any key acting like it's being pressed with the win key.

    This happened with the beta once in a while but it's happening ever 10 minutes now, never has this happen at any other time and with any other program.

    Just wondering if someone could explain the resources bit to me:p

    Do i just get them over time depending on how many areas my empire has control over? Or is it dependant on how much i play?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,743 ✭✭✭kingtiger


    mo ****in shields protecting a base, how do you take them down???


  • Subscribers Posts: 9,716 ✭✭✭CuLT


    Haven't played an FPS for a while (much less an MMO), first couple of hours were gruelling, there's a lot to learn. Also, Counter-Strike and TF2 have mostly made me forget TKing was a thing. That's been a painful one.

    It's addictive though and I'm really getting into it :) Playing Vanu on Woodman. The Tron-esque music in the menu was the primary driver of this decision.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 238 ✭✭longwhitecross+


    I'm playing NC on Ceres.

    Nc kinda by default because its annoying when TR dominate alot and the Vanu look like... Vanu.

    Same, played TR only in the Beta.

    Sever just shut down for an update there.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,406 ✭✭✭PirateShampoo


    Loving the game, rolling in a pimped out Magrider.

    On Ceres as well. TR seem to have easier to use weapons. I dunno, they just seem to be everywhere.

    The more you play the better it gets :D.

    Each zone on each map is worth one of the three types of resources (Ground, Air or Foot) of various values (you can see a small icon when hovering over a zone).

    As long as your side holds the zone and you're online you'll get that resource every couple of minutes along with all other zones your side holds. So yes, you get the resources simply for being online (and no resources are added if you're not). A trick is if you quickly need to stock up on a specific resource is to jump to the map which your side has most land on to stock it up faster :)

    Om enjoying this so much i wouldnt mind putting a few quid into it, any tips on maybe a particular pack or something?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 238 ✭✭longwhitecross+


    I've got 4000 station cash sitting there from the alpha package, holding off buying anything though untill I see if people start to migrate to a more common server?

    Some of the weapons work out at 7quid a pop... curious what other people are spending on


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,406 ✭✭✭PirateShampoo


    I got station cash myself, i kitted out my Heavy and pimped a magrider.


  • Subscribers Posts: 9,716 ✭✭✭CuLT


    Got a bunch of credit when it was half price on Black Friday. Bought what amounts to a jackhammer for the light assault, a tracking rocket launcher for heavy assault, and an armour piercing canon for one of the tanks.

    The rocket launcher has been the most useful so far, since I'm moving away from using light assault.

    Seems to be no way to register unless I do so for the US servers. It just redirects in a loop.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,406 ✭✭✭PirateShampoo


    Have you tried through steam


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,045 ✭✭✭KilOit


    Spent about 4000 cash so far on quite a bit on my scythe death machine, playing solely as engineer. I'm battle rank 26 already so unlocked a lot of stuff now.
    I posted a link few weeks back when station cash was tripple! Knew many here wouldnt of jumped at it!

    Steam is the US client. And while it can be altered to point at the Pro7 login system, that doesn't help since you can't create an account in the first place.
