Damn, 9GB.

Guess I will check it out in 2 hours.

[Scott32020]

How's the single player of this game?

[Red Blaster]

So when is this free resort weekend and how much are you charging for it

[Guerrillas in the Mist]

How's the single player of this game?

Not great. If I remember correctly it's a glorified bot match. I've put several dozen hours into RO2 but about 5 minutes of that has been into the SP component.

Do the bullet casings fall on the ground and make sounds in this game ?

[Guerrillas in the Mist]

Do the bullet casings fall on the ground and make sounds in this game ?

Don't remember, but operating the bolt on rifles looks and sounds so right. Satisfying as hell, same with storming a trench and bayoneting someone. The one time out of ten where you don't get riddled with bullets while doing so.

[animlboogy]

Resolution problems for me after the update. My native res isn't in the list. Anybody know the command to put into the launch options to rectify this?

(sigh) it's always something with this game.

[abracadaver]

The german version censored (no gore) so I asked my friend from austria to gift the game to me. But he cant gift me the game because steam says I already have it (because of the free weekend).

Is there a way around this ?? After the weekend the game will be at normal price again :(

[NIN90]

Oh the good old days of launch RO2 when refreshing the server browser would kill internet connections. :lol

[Phife Dawg]

Been playing for a bit more. Really liking the classic mode, it feels more like RO1 but still retains the smoother feel (for me). Now all we need are troop transports and maps that accommodate for that.

Try the .inis: My Documents/My Games/RedOrchestra2/ROGame/Config. Dunno where to look exactly though, sorry.

Not good.

Bullet casings fall on the ground, never paid attention to the sound though (usually masked by all the noise of a battlefield), so I don't know about that.

Can't he buy it now and gift it later?

[Uriah]

Lol I thought I was the only one who had this problem. I had to go to GameTracker and paste server IPs into the console to play.

[subversus]

Seriously? This piece of shit was my worst purchase of last year, and I have a hard time believing that it won any awards. I probably won't even bother reinstalling it and playing with the 62 people or so that are still playing. I'm still upset they borked this so bad after RO1.

there are tons of people playing now. But keep on raging.

[NIN90]

Kinda OT but how does on force 120hz for games (e.g. RO2) through Nvidia Control Panel? Ain't finding shit on google.

I kind of wish I could get my money back. Even with brink I at least got some fun out of it.

That'd be my suggestion

Red Orchestra2 has stopped working


...about 30 seconds after I launched the game.

Sounds typical of the RO2 experience!

I'm going to reinstall this and give it a shot. I find it ironic though, that this comes out in an hour: http://simhq.com/_land3/land_127a.html

I think Tripwire is feeling the heat again, much like they rushed this out in front of CoD and BF3.

[mysocksarepink]

guys

I hit filters and my game crashes


everytime

what do I do :(

[subversus]

how come that I never have these problems with my games?! New Vegas didn't crash, RO2 works flawlessly, STALKER crashed on me 1 (one) time. My computer must be boring.

[mysocksarepink]

according to the Tripwire forums

to get around the crash

use the steam server browser to connect to a game

This.

Such a shame.

In a video they say they won PC Gamers multiplayer shooter of the year.

It's my favourite FPS from last year, despite it's issues. Had more fun and put more time into it than BF3.

[EuropeOG]

Ok so the first time I play this it works fine.

Now I go to play again and when the servers start to show up it crashes. ..

[Phife Dawg]

Use the Steam server browser to work around possible crashes (and convenience): View > Servers > Filter RO2

according to the Tripwire forums to get around the crash use the steam server browser to connect to a game

I do that anyway. Much easier to look through servers imo.

I thought ArmaII was right up my alley until I bought the game. People that complain about the jankyness of other games have apparently not played ArmaII. From what I've seen it looks to retain that certain feel. I do applaud the scale though.

[NIN90]

OK now my game always crashes after a few seconds on the server.

[Megasoum]

I played the game for the very first time yesterday. Played around 1h, killed one guy and was killed probably 25-30 times..... sounds about right lol.

[Phife Dawg]

Yeah pretty much. Try the action mode, it's much more forgiving. I must say after trying out action mode it ain't half bad, much less dudebro than I thought.

Have you tried verifying the integrity of the game cache? Also delete your inis (with the input ini being the exception).

[Geoff9920]

Red Orchestra2 has stopped working ...about 30 seconds after I launched the game.

Hah, same thing here. Tried several times but crashed every time. I didn't even have enough time to let the server browser finishing finding games.

Too bad though as the video's I saw prior to launch made it look like it could be a lot of fun. Oh well, uninstalled. I'm sure there's a work around but I've got enough games to play at the moment that I don't feel like problem solving to get this game to work properly. Maybe I'll give it a fair shot sometime down the road.

[BobsRevenge]

It's may favourite FPS from last year, despite it's issues. Had more fun and put more time into it than BF3.

Yup. Same. I understand why people would be frustrated with it, but the gameplay is pretty damn solid and it still gets the nerves going like the original did.

[Nelo Ice]

Yup same here hope people stick around after the free weekend. Game is still fun as ever and it nevers get old getting a kill.

[SirButterstick]

Y'all are crazy. I put in a couple of hours, and it's still garbage. Should of named it Budgetfield 2 :)

I will give it a bit of credit though, it does feel a little more polished. The new map is good, and show's the strength of the game when it's presented with more open gameplay. If Fallen Fighters is on one end of the spectrum, the new map is on the other.

[NIN90]

Have you tried verifying the integrity of the game cache? Also delete your inis (with the input ini being the exception).

Did that. Didn't work. Though I remember having the same issue back at launch and I think it was related to some graphic settings. Thought they fixed that by now especially since it was a pretty widespread issue.

[mysocksarepink]

holy fuck I love this game now..

action mode is for me :) I hope to learn the game well enough to move to regular :D


but I fucking love this game now ! :D


good job tripwire! Im back!

[RedSwirl]

This is the one game for which I've been waiting for a free weekend, and it finally comes just as my internet connection decides to take a shit. What's a guy to do.

its $10 this weekend


you buy it, guy

[LiquidMetal14]

And...................bought. Will play tomorrow.

[ChoklitReign]

That had to be the most chickenshit MP experience I have ever had (I never play MP). I never even fired a gun. Hell, at least I killed a guy the last time in Tribes (I hate that game's F2P model). Why are the keybinds so shitty? I still don't get why there's so many. I never even saw an enemy, I only died once and he didn't show up in the killcam. At least the graphics were nice. This was in action mode.

[RedSwirl]

If I wasn't so inundated with other games I'd probably buy this, especially for $10. After about an hour of matches Realism mode proved a surprisingly good fit for me. I still died a lot, but it seemed made specifically for the kinds of tactics I try to use in MP shooters - checking openings, keeping my head down, and waiting for opportunities instead of rushing around like most COD or Halo players. It's an MP shooter for the cautious gamer, and I like that. I just don't have time for it right now.

its $10 this weekend you buy it, guy

Y'know what? I just might, even if I don't get down to it until six months from now or something.

For real?

Also the keybinds are fine. You only really need to know how to toggle crouch, run, go prone, spot an enemy, and holding your breath for a distance shot. Sounds like the norm for the FPS today.

I guess if you jump back in, try to approach it a bit more tactically despite playing in the Action Mode. Running out in the open is bound to get you shot easily so cling to the walls, keep your head down, and keep your hearing out for random noises nearby like bullets/opposition talking/footsteps. I killed three Germans yesterday simply by knowing they were in a bunker through the chatter.

[SteveWinwood]

Why are so many servers tagged punkbuster? If it's optional why would you ever opt in to that shit?

[XANDER CAGE]

Really looking forward to trying this out. I was really excited for the original release and it ended up being one of the most disappointing games of the year for me. Classic mode sounds great!

you sound like an awful player... <3

[SteveWinwood]

They should use vac. Punkbuster is shit.

Steam says they even do use vac.

[Angry Fork]

Anyone else find the presentation in-game to be really cool? It sounds like you're in a movie or documentary or something. The motion blur, black lines, the way the sky looks, the music while you're playing. It feels like you're in a real war it's interesting.

[The_Player]

IIRC they're using VAC and Punkbuster evenly.

Try turning on the war film filter. Then you'll really deel like you're playin a war film.

[dLMN8R]

Would you say it's an EVEN BALANCE between the two?

[The_Player]

I say using both anti-cheats is a bit of BUST.
