It's a pretty neat game. Multiplayer is fast paced, I'd say more fast paced than Descent. Ships feel smaller but more agile. Weapon and class system is a LOT of fun to play around with in multi. Couple of things are broke with it (mines are way OP, and you can rig it so the ultimate ability is your ...

I just got my Steam key. Looks like they're doing that manually.

I bought mine on the Humble Store, and it was updated. Playing through the single player mission.

Next time, do what I did... marry a gamer. ^_^

Mobix0r's post on Cadenza's site seemed to indicate that the release would be around 1 PM Eastern time (about 20 minutes from now). Whether that translates to being available on Steam is another question though.

Aha, you initially said "target nearest visible", but this should work.

Perhaps you can setup keybinds to cycle through enemy targets? I think having to avoid pausing the game to select an enemy would be beneficial.

There's only the one on that mission where you use the remote bots for the first time. All the others are merely decoration.

I almost had flashbacks to the ground-bound FPS Oni when I saw those. There'd be a security system controlled by a brain and you'd have to defeat it by dodging lasers EVERYWHERE. Was a pain in the ass. Fortunately, these are more decoration than anything (although you do kill one, and the professor ...

The biggest issue I found with the loot pickup is that it took you about 10-20 seconds to clean up the spawn. In Descent, that process can be a second or less. You should spend more time fighting the enemy than picking up the pieces when it's done. Don't get me wrong, I do like the concept. It has L...

I haven't crashed in a long while. I also haven't used Vortex to launch a game in a long while either, I've been using a straight command line.

Checked out a couple videos, seems interesting. Seems like there's a lot of grinding involved, though.

Release date is 1/31/13. Unfortunately the current beta is unplayable for me (crashes after 10 minutes), but they say they will have that bug squished. It's promising, I tossed some money at it. Will be interesting to see if it gets a multiplayer following.

Not using D3's config file, no. You can only specify the starting level, it will still cycle through the levels though. There are some options. - Use a dedicated server tool that only cycles through the levels you want. Now, I don't know if any of the active server tools allow for this, and I haven'...

Aha! I thought I remembered another multiplayer pack other than Fury.

Core and Taurus are part of Fury, levels 1 and 5 respectively. I do not know if an official Outrage Polaris level exists for retail.

Core Classic and Polaris Classic were released as single levels by Suncho and Skyalmian respectively.

You can turn off ship noises in the interface. I forget where, but I believe it's available from the F2 menu in game. Mine buzzed pretty badly too when I installed it on this computer, shut them off immediately.

I can confirm the Wii U is backwards compatible with the Wii, my nephew got a U for Christmas.

Got taunts working. Turns out I was using too many characters for the taunts, cutting them down to size fixed it. The ship picture was always working, I just didn't have the taunts to know it. Must be a bug when you go in and try to re-select the ship picture again, it resets, but it remembers what ...

Nope, it's f:/descent3, which is my SSD. It *was* in h:/descent3 prior, an external drive, I just moved it last night. Haven't ran anything that's been giving me problems, though. Another weird thing is I can't add taunts or my ship picture. It lets me do it, but when I exit the config and go back i...

Played these bots tonight for the first time. They're very impressive, way better than the ones in the old Domination mod. The pyro was the only ship, including my skippy feenii, at 50% efficiency on the one game in Ascent I played all the way to 100. They tend to do poorly with napalm rockets and m...

Alter-Fox wrote:...the deadly geometry problem.

Ugh, I ran into that one a couple of times when my system froze for a few seconds, and then the game thinks you slammed into the wall at a million miles per hour. Stupid Windows. I reported that as a bug on their website.

I've been playing the beta, beats the snuff out of MinerWars for me from a game play perspective. However, I can't get it to run for more than 10 minutes at a time without crashing. Hopefully this gets fixed, I really want to see how the game plays beyond the first couple scenes.

Yeah, the game admittedly is deserving the beating it's getting. They've straight up come out and said that MW2081 is just a revenue springboard to get the MMO going. I think they're going about it wrong. They've put out a subpar product, and definitely shouldn't expect people to be on board with th...

I've not blue screened yet, but there are definitely a lot of technical issues. It also takes monster hardware. I have a Q9300 processor and a 5870 HD and I can't play on anything but Very Low or else FPS drops will literally kill me. As for it being beta-like, it really feels that way to me. Unfini...

Re: chording, That's good to know, and I can accept that. After having played it a bunch I posted some feedback on their website. Unfortunately, I'm completely stuck on the storyline as I can't load one of the maps, so I'm waiting on support to get back to me to tell me what I need to do, or if I ha...

Getting used to the game... It's kind of a cross between Descent 3's controls and combat (if you like vauss and concs, anyway, haven't found anything stronger yet) and Eve's missions and mining gameplay. I've played a few missions and did some exploring, but just haven't been able to get into the ga...

I picked it up, had a Visa gift card lying around with $20 on it and nabbed it on Steam. Runs a bit sluggish on my 5870, but I also have a Q9300 too, so that may be choking it some, too. Haven't played enough of it to form a solid opinion just yet. I wish I had more time to put into it. But the keyb...

I remember Bama very well. I actually modified a few of his favorite D3 maps to insert his favorite weapon, the Earthshaker. Bama's Revenge, Zonerie, you remember that?

He was insane fun to play with. He will certainly be missed. Rest in piece, man.

Bleh. The sound's started up again. It seems to be only on things like fusion and the afterburner. Taunts play normally, as do most other sounds.

Ideas?

Krom wrote:Change the sound quality settings. Also check and make sure it is using the correct device in the launcher.

Ah, that reminded me to reduce hardware acceleration in the Multimedia control panel a notch.

Thanks, it's all running fine now.

Anyone know what could be the cause of sound problems in D3 where the sounds skip? For instance, when you hold down afterburner, the sound is dragged out. Or for fusion, you're dead by the time the sound would indicate you're fully charged because it's skipping and just dragging out... I'm running a...
