Re: does nobody play first strike anymore!?

We got hit with some really nasty client disconnect bugs courtesy of EA/gamespy just as we released 1.2.  Kind of killed things a bit from the get go:(

Re: does nobody play first strike anymore!?

We've got a full server going now over at RogueTribe.  Judging the past few days, about this time seems to be the high point for the mod (5pm EST)

Re: does nobody play first strike anymore!?

Well sense they are refuseing to fix their mod to work on Vista and NVIDIA GFX cards most users gave up on this mod all togather. I too have uninstalled it from my HDD and disided to move on to other mods that work. IE not that there are any other good BF2142 mods out there ATM.

But for now at least untill the developers get off their high chairs that the same BF2 HF2 developers have about Vista and start supporting it correctly then most gamers will just move on to other things or stick with official stuff.

BTW: The whole Vista sucks thing is null and void now thanks to the SP1 update that fixed, and removed most of the DRM that caused so many issues with older games, and programs. On top of that the SP1 added features to support older games and fix em to work on vista, the mere fact modders are ignoreing this set up for PCs and not keeping up with the times shows that they are killing them selfs.

In a poll done and ended just a few months ago on slashdot.com they found that over 80% of PC users now use and like Vista. So to not support it is insane and most gamers are looking for products that support Vista, and keeping an eye on those that don't.

Long live the Empire!

Re: does nobody play first strike anymore!?

Do you have some magic fix that'll make it run on Vista?  I think it could be more a case of "can't" rather than "won't".  If you're up to providing a fix that'll make this mod run better on Vista machines then please, post away and we'll impliment it!  No one here ever said "oh we hate vista therefore we won't support it!"  Instead it's more "Few developers have access to vista and even then many of the problems usually stem from the engine, not the mod." 

But your plight has not gone unheard.  If you can direct me to some of the immediate problems I'd at least like to read up on all that's transpired since I went on holiday.  And as I said, if you have any fixes (rather than just accusations) we'd be very glad to hear them.  Oh, and can you link to that slashdot poll, I'd love to see that.
