To get started

Ah also I forgot to mention you can still commbuild it just takes down your engy tool ammo now though.

 

- The BE pistol 2 firing effect (coming out of the barrel) seems to be way too high. As if the gun has recoil, and then shoots while pointing upwards.

- Nobody seems to have the problem, or maybe it's a feature (not likely), but i don't have got any recoil on any infantry weapon whatsoever. True, the weapon model goes up, but when the next bullet leaves the barrel it will aim at the exact same pixel again. After depleting an hmg clip (possibly a few hundred bullets) i was still aiming at the same pixel.

- i was able to spot destroyed vehicles. This doesn't have to a problem, but i'm mentioning it anyway because it may give problems when a scout spots a destroyed tank. I wasn't able to test that out though.

- Shouldn't i get some window in the beginning of a map in which you can vote for a commander? Because i'm not having it.

Btw, this is great! The new models and animations are awesome, as are the new menu's and other stuff.

 

I was having a tough time with the unbind bug on slaughtered, I think maybe e-build tripped it, but it got worse and worse (more keys became useless, scroll wheel stopped working after a bit). I tried rebinding keys in the control menu, and entering a vehicle, but neither of those seemed to work.

Things got better after a map change though.

On Canyon (the new but normal one) There's a way to get into map from that ledge with the ref near BE base (D3). I could look up and see the ref above me.

 

Could you get a screenshot of the spot that you can get through?

 

Here is a simple bug.
I only noticed and tested this one on the NF rirle and shotgun pistol.

If you unload your ammo from a gun and before you reload switch to any other weapon.
Then when you switch back to the weapon with no ammo in the gun you will not see the animation when you normally pull out the gun.
Then after 1-2 seconds you reload.

 

you won't get commander vote window on maps without commander.

Weapons get less accurate the more you fire instead of recoil but it could still be a bug or something, I don't know. I don't have a problem and would never have even noticed if you never said anything

I guess it could make rifles a little powerful =o

 

When unbinding keys in the control menu (by pressing esc) it gives you a warning that this is already bound to another key (if you've just unbound another command). No other adverse effects, but that error shouldn't be appearing in the first place.

 

two things I noticed:
- not being able to change weapon via number keys as mentioned. Entering APC fixed thatone so maybe the infantrie config wasn't executed correctly?
- not being able to join a squad. it worked on the first map I played but on the 2nd neither joining nor being invited worked. it simply did nothing.

 

Being invited simply mucks everything up for me. I have quickly join the squad at the beggining of the game now.

 

I got stuck crouching after holding down the crouch button for about 20 seconds.

 

My first experience: I have Win Vista 32. After installation Vista said that the program might not have been installed properly. I ignored it. Game started, found the server, joined it. Streetsoffire was the map. Then I get the atteched screen. I am running at 1280x1024 on a LCD. When I pressed auto join the game crashed to desktop. Unfortunately I don't know where to find the memory dumps. Will send it in if somebody guides me to its location.

 

- I dont know what triggers this, but it happened all the time: after a while the number keys stopped changing weapons... i could only change weapon with the mouse wheel

- me and my friend had some terrible lag with vehicles... we are both in eu with pings around 150-200.. in infantry mode it was ok, but both of us couldnt really use vehicles becase both the driving and the turrent movement responed megalaggy, around 1 sec latency or more... couldnt test it tho within a low ping enviroment or local server

- both of us had also the first join grafic bug, but this seem to be a general issue, when after install someone joins up a server the ui is scrambled on the screen and it crashes to desktop... after that it works fine

 

- when the map changes it disconnects from server
- unable to create server, message "Server is shutting down"
- after building a turret and it received damage, upon healing it the new turret health indicator did not update itself.

 

You're not supposed to be able to create a server this version.

 

Oh, well then thats no problem.

- turrets have double sided textures

 

I also get disconnected when a map ends, not right when it ends but rather when its time to load a new map.

When its time to load a new map, when I connect, the game tries to download mapname aie files...or aip...somthing like that, which delays me joining.

As commander the "building is complete" (or somthing like that) sound effect plays over and over and over and over again, almost like it is being spammed. Happens randomly, not sure what triggers it.

On occasion, when you respawn on escort, you respawn inside the map and must kill yourself.

 

-As commander occasionally my camera will jump to an alert, without me doing anything (as in it will jump there by itself, randomly)

 

Whilst playing Escort in the first five minutes, my CPU heated up from 55 to 95 degrees Celcius in that little time, and now my graphics card and CPU are completely busted.


I can't reconstruct this, guess why.

I'm not on my computer right now, even though mine still works. I usually don't get any further than the login screen at this point.


My computer was already having problems, CPU was already half-smoked and having fire damage due to reasons posted earlier/elsewhere, I know I did this on my own risk and won't hold Empires liable in any way, shape or form.

 

An old bug that is still here.

Join a squad.

Get your free skill.

Leave the squad.

Try to change class. You can't unless you either join a squad again or get 10 rank points.

 

- If the server changes map while you are trying to connect, good luck getting into the game (or doing anything for that matter). You must ctrl-alt-del.

That's probably due to the fact that it disconnects people on map change.
