Wait, its fixed? You would think they'd patch instead of making you download the whole mfing thing again.

Not sure if I believe it :p

[Squeeky]

I will wait til someone confirm it's fixed, :mad:

[Hamma]

That and I am waiting for Fileshack.

[Squeeky]

WTF??! They make you re-download the demo?

[Hamma]

Apparently not.

[Indecisive]

Guess it was too far gone :p

NOTE: There is a rare crash that a user can experience. The crash has to do with distance rendering of rockets. We only became recently aware of it and are addressing it now.

[JetRaiden]

so if I see a rocket, I just look at the ground until it passes by?

[Indecisive]

Lmao.

[AztecWarrior]

Grabbing now. Say, can we get a server up if this works?

[Indecisive]

I have successfully played online.

[JetRaiden]

I have successfully played online.

A MIRICLE!

[XxXMaRiNeXxX]

j00 must be teh liar!

[JetRaiden]

j00 needs to die.

[I Hate Pants]

I have successfully played online.

Me too! For 10 minutes. Than the servers crap out on me. I still crash. Occasionaly. There are no 32 player servers up yet still. Alot of them just 16 players.

For shits and giggles here's my guy:

[AztecWarrior]

It's the same crap.

It still is hard to connect, though slightly easier. I fired like 4 rockets in the Little Bird and it CTDed.

[HawkEye]

[SDM]

Can someone post a good D/L link please.

PS - I want to kill you now.

[Dharkbayne]

[Squeeky]

[Dharkbayne]

We should get together so I can carbomb your asses.

[SDM]

That was the best CTD EVAR!

[Everay]

i played one round, i fucking owned! i didnt die till i fell off a cliff! but i did CTD once, but it was still fun.

[Navaron]

Just so you all know, we have dedicated forums just for soldner (http://forums.bohicagaming.com/index.php?showforum=20) and a news section keep up with the soldner news. (http://bohicagaming.com/index.php?gid=sol) There are a lot of people from PSU on the BGC boards, so come on by, you know alot of the people already.

[Everay]

i played a lil more, the game is fun as hell, but its the constant crashing thats being a bitch. and i didnt see any place ever to get some helis, loved to though.

[Indecisive]

Someone set up a server dammit :p

[Dharkbayne]

Aye. Hamma, pleeeaaassseee set up a server!

[I Hate Pants]

Please!

[Jennyboo]

Wait, its fixed? You would think they'd patch instead of making you download the whole mfing thing again.

Not sure if I believe it :p

[Corrosion]

This feels like a cheap BF clone with buyable vehicles and equipment.

[JetRaiden]

No, no, no, no, no! Welll yea kinda.

It plays completely different though.

[AztecWarrior]

No server. It's still too buggy.

[Indecisive]

Works fine for me.

[l3lizz4rd]

Still can't populate the server list...

[Spee]

This game runs like poo.

[Dharkbayne]

I have an eMachine so I have neither the PC nor the social status to comment on anything. Ever.

Fixed. :D

[EineBeBoP]

Anyone wanna play? AIM me: bovineboy4500

[I Hate Pants]

Its busted again.

The community is really putting the heat on the devs, and you can tell the devs are getting pissed off at the community.

[Indecisive]

:rofl:

[Hamma]

I dont have anything to setup a server on anymore. Only linux boxes running on PSU now, the 3rd windows box is bye bye

[JetRaiden]

Its busted again.

:rofl: :rofl:

Trollboy: OMG DEVS FIX THE FUCKIN CRASH!
Trollboy2: wtfs IT STILL CRASHES!!
Dev: we're working on it.
Trollboy: OMFG the WEAPONS STILL SUCK!
Dev: We're on it.
Trollboy: HFS the VEHICLES ARE FUCKED UP!!!
Dev: FUCK YOU!

[OneManArmy]

ah well, it was a nice concept with flawed execution. lets move on. maybe someday someone will get it right.

[Everay]

its still only a beta demo, theyll prolly release a v3....

[JetRaiden]

I hope so. this game is a long way off from being a hit. in V1 the maps sucked. and vehicles were scarce. they need to make maps come with a buncha vehicles.

[Everay]

well, vehicals are sorta pointless, the ones you start off with that is, like the buggies that spawn on the map, a few rounds from a rifle and theyre toast, and you can always take out tanks with a launcher, and then there are the aircraft, i tried flying a heli, hard as fuck, i couldnt get it to balance.

[Hamma]

The whole money thing ruins it

[JetRaiden]

yea, but if they fix it it could be better, its just underdeveloped.

[EineBeBoP]

I can fly a helo fairly easily, but the planes are nearly impossible.

I can get them to fly, and avoid crashing (mostly) but i cant EVER aim and fire where i want the guns to go.

How do I switch to missiles anyways?
