Lol love some of your posts Canadiens. You should write a book called "How to make friends and impress people"

Reverting back is an idea full of phail.

Nope...

I don't like the idea of reverting back due to reasons already stated.

Does Stardestroyersarecool's forum signature make anyone else smile every time they see it?

Hello, and welcome to the forums.

You're going to need BF2142 V1.5 to play First-Strike online as well as First-Strike V1.25

Personally I wouldn't have a problem going to 1.4. I don't play 'nilla 2142 at all. I do however feel that it would further decrease the already tiny base of active players for FS. Anything involving directory copying and whatnot would also cut more players and keep a segment of potential players from picking up the conversion. In fact, I think if the menu was redone to a greater extent to make it where you log in, and then -without clicking elsewhere- you see a good server list, you'd keep more players. I'm sure some people are still loading FS, not clicking on the correct tab, getting confused about servers, and saying "Ah, F-it! I'm gonna play " Simplify, simplify, advertise, and simplify even more. Once you have hundreds of regular players you can introduce more complexity.

EDIT - The lack of players is the biggest problem you guys face. Sure, bugs here and there turn people off, but none of that matters if a new player can't find a populated server. Would it be possible to get a group of people in different timezones (devs, FS addicts from the community/boards) to agree to play on a particular server (Shattered?) during staggered timeslots throughout the day? 30-40 people who commit to keep one server populated at all times would do wonders. Special play nights are step in that direction, but I think it's too early for that and ultimately too limited in scope. New players of a multiplayer only game need to be able to fire up FS at any time of the day or night and get into a firefight or it's a lost cause. If you have 40 maps, every weapon from the SW universe, perfect sound, etc....it won't mean a damned thing without someone to play -with-.

Love ya and just trying to help.

Im not going to revert to 1.4 for the reasons stated and because my brother plays Vanilla a lot. It wouldnt be fair to wreck it for him.

Basically it is a bad idea, we need to hang in there and hope that DICE sort out the problems with 1.5, and then either FS will be more stable again which it does seem to be at the moment compared to the other weekend, or we can tweak (if anything can be done at our end) FS to make it more stable with 1.5 in our next release.

Yeah, I'm of the opinion of biding time. I think we can all agree that our interest in this modification and what it seeks to inject into gaming is strong, even if we don't play the mod on a regular basis. But forcing people to do some fairly time-consuming things may alienate some fringe playerbase to the point of losing them permanently. And the word of mouth from players we lose won't help us at all.

Let's wait for a patch, either on the BF2142 side (there's strong evidence that there will be another patch, including more community content), or with First Strike finding a solution to the problem and releasing a fix for the mod. More people will play when a new version is released, just a question of how many we lose before that. I think we need to keep the loss number as low as possible.

You devs aren't about to give up on us just because we've a small player base, or that the engine support isn't perfect, are you?

theres a way to make the current revision level work in the next FS patch , but ... Im not saying I know what it is ... Im saying theres something that can be tweaked and added to the 1.3 or whatever is released , that would fix the 1.5 bug.
A tall order for people working for free and out of love for the game basicly.
Something good might happen , and something will get identified and addressed and fixed with 1.5

The WaR('@')'s are almost entirely a 2142 Clan (we started that way) and we just branched into the FS Mod.

The problem with reverting back to 1.40 is that you are asking EVERYONE (2142 & FS) to Uninstall their game, re-install, download patches, install patches, reset their settings, listen to the annoying "help" tutorials and use up more hard drive space by having to maintain separate install directories.

Seems more of a problem and you may lose interested parties to your AWESOME MOD!

Mind you that I know ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about modding but I think that maybe the best thing to do is to try to find a way to fix the probs.

My 2 cents anyways.
