Just Cause 2 Multiplayer - [Beta Test: Sat 8th-9th September]

Test Cancelled
"An hour or so after we started the test, we were hit by a DDoS attack that ended shortly after; roughly 2 hours later we were hit by an even stronger attack, leaving us with no choice but to call off the test.

It is a shame for the beta to end just 3 hours after it started, though we did verify that the server performance fixes most definitely worked."

I was planning on playing tonight. Oh well, I want to put some more time in with sleeping dogs anyway.

Scripts

Racing (dreadmullet)
/race - Adds you to the next race list

The Racing gamemode lets you race other players in a variety of races.
It comes with a fully-featured GUI, letting you focus on the race.

Derby (Trix)
/derby - Sends you to the derby

The Derby gamemode drops you in the dish with vehicles and explosive weapons.
Make of it what you will!

Freeroam (Philpax)
/tp or /teleport - Teleports you to a location

The Freeroam gamemode provides standard functionality for a JC2-MP server,
including loading spawns and teleports.

Local Chat (Philpax)
The local chat script highlights players in your vicinity in the chat,
letting you communicate easier with the players around you.

Nametags (Philpax)
/tags - Toggle all nametags
/vtags - Toggle vehicle nametags
/ptags - Toggle player nametags

The nametags have been completely rewritten to be faster, sleeker,
and more informative.

Speedometer (Philpax)
/speedo or /speedometer - Toggles the speedometer
/clearmax - Clears the maximum speed

The speedometer shows you your current, and max, speed in a vehicle.
How fast can you go?

Killfeed (Philpax)
Ever wanted to know who's dying and how? The killfeed will tell you.
Now you too can find out Woet exploded for the 37th time in 2 minutes!

The same question I had in mind, but never asked it. It never worked for me.....I'm on Windows 8 if that matters. The beta does come with a FPS counter though.

Just testing through other games, jc2 seems to be the only game fraps isnt picking it up for me. Just switched over to dxtory for now
 
Man, this is awesome. I crashed after like a half hour or so but everything was much smoother than usual before that. The improvements are really good.
 
What a brilliant update.

So much fun. Especially with the great factions feature.

Really hope they release this soon.

Saw Criken and TotalBiscuit (well I read his name). Criken almost killed me but I helped someone kill him.
 
Hellz yeah! Although it really hasn't been as fun as the original test weekends, as broken as it was. It just isn't the same without hijacking enabled.
 
For anyone who have played the MP before, generally how stable was it and how easy was it to get into the games ( people online)?


Can't wait.
 
First time trying this out.

Incredible work. It is so much better than I could have ever expected. It's not just free roam with other players and vehicles and weapons and kills, that would've been A LOT for a mod, sure, but there's derbies, races, factions, earnings, a buy menu for your earnings... Absolutely incredible work by these guys.

I love the races, they're chaotic as in GTA IV and to an extent Grid. I just love watching cars flying around! Having a lot of fun.
 
A few sessions in but too much crashing. Gonna have to cut this session short. I think it's because I'm running DXTORY and OBS in the BG.
 
Really enjoying it, a few problems:


Robbing vehicles wasn't so easy/present, At the airport and trying to get a jet is near impossible, jump in, get teleported out and vice versa for a good five minutes ( or until someone blows it up), sometimes I cant even steal vehicles, how does it work?

More than 1 person can jump / grapple onto vehicles,


Small issues in what is still something very very well done. Can't wait for the full release.

I just wish everyone didn't treat it like a massive DM, but that isn't the games or the JC 2 MP devs fault :P

I just wanna get into a dogfight :(

One thing I've noticed. I just started shooting things in a quick run yesterday after I seen some Rambo like dude shooting all the water towers and explosive things. Just wanted to help him and play together. If I wanted to shoot him and make it a DM I would have.

Needless to say he shot me but just as soon as he got one shot in the game crashed. I guess that was a false victory ><

Oh man I'm running Dxtory as well and it's been crashing more in the last 3 hours. But I've gotten some golden moments out of the races recorded LOL
