No, your posting, not playing....

 

[BlacKJesuS]

Called a windows key

Seems every server I've been able to join is laggy as hell.. most of the time I can't even join a server! I think I'm gonna wait till tonight or tomorrow to play..

 

[BlacKJesuS]

Ive been in 3...only 1 was laggy..look for ones w/ lowest ping and are hosted by someone

 

[blurredvision]

I'd like to host a smaller map with about 8 people, but I don't know how to open it up to the internet. Can anybody tell me how?

 

[blurredvision]

What's up with the ImmortalGaming.com server that has 128 slots?? Constantly clicking refresh in the server properties screen shows the number of people on the server going up and down as fast as it can go.

There is no DOD:S in any of the retail packages. "Deluxe" (CE) or just plain HL2 package. Which is why they are both total rip offs especially the CE.

Ya, but tell us how you really feel.

 

[zerocool84]

damn it's freakin fun as hell but the HDR does get annoying at certain times but its freakin awesome but hard to get into any servers

 

[hdeck]

20 fps w/ a 6800 is great

 

[gorcorps]

I'm pulling decent rates (~30) w/ my 9800 pro @ 1280x1024, 4xAA and AF, and Full HDR.

 

[Eureka]

Er, what's your computer components? I can barely pull 30 in 1024 with no AA and bloom HDR.

Norm

 

[BlacKJesuS]

I get 60fps w/ HDR 1024 w/ Max AF x6 and AA x16 .


BTW HDR is a waste...if i wanted that lame stuff id turn up brightness :


athlon 64 3000+
1gig (now i got 2gigs gonna see FPS diff)
eVGA 6800 AGP 128mb 12/6 stock

Load times are just as fast as regular DoD for me

Dang, no bots. I did a quick google search and it appears there will be eventually, but not now. Graphics look decent but I want my bots for coop LAN mode with my kids dangit. Guess we'll stick with CS:S

 

[duragezic]

Eh. Lagged as FVCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WTH??

It was almost a slide show. My buddy reported the same on that server and like 3 others. r_netgraph 3 nor show_fps 1 seemed to be a command. I know my FPS isn't that high at 1680x1050, but I run CS:S with 40 players on the same settings at 40-50+ fps. Whys it so laggy??? And HDR seemed to look like crap. I had it on 'High', but I'm gonna turn it OFF next time I (try to) play.

What a bunch of complainers, seriously this game looks absolutely outstanding

You sir are correct. Looks like I got riped off hard buying the "Collectors Edition". In essence I paid 25$ for a crappy T-Shirt. Thanks Valve... you make me feel special!
That also means that I will not be playing DoD. I wait for Call of Duty2 and spend my money on that. Too bad, I was looking forward to something new to hold me over.
I do feel ripped never the less! Valve makes good games, but that customer service thing is not their forte (brings back memories of the Steam disaster on release day).

Its not out of the question to complain about a SERIOUS drop in FPS from other source games (and even BF2) to this game. The game is fun as hell but its kind of rediculous to have to get a 7series geforce just to have it look good.

Are you guys with nvidia cards running the latest beta? Suppossed to fix issues with HL2:Lost Coast and DoD:S.
