Return to Castle Wolfenstein. Know bugs/Fixes/work arounds

[Wellcky]

Known Bugs/Fixes for the Wolfenstein MP test demo.

No servers listed in the in-game browser -- Only workaround for this one I know is to grab GameSpy Arcade and use it to find servers.

If you don't see browsers in GameSpy Arcade, then do this: Go to GameSpy>Options>Games Tab - click on the + sign next to Not Installed then hilight your game and choose Browse to find your game on your hard drive. Close & reopen Arcade and accept any updates.

"Invalid Password" on servers -- A no "key" icon is shown so have no idea if there is truly a password needed. No known workaround for this one.

"Server is low ping only" -- Even though your ping is obviously low. No known workaround on this one.

This info and more can be found at 3D ActionPlanet.

You can use All-Seeing Eye for servers as well. I ditched all of GameSpy stuff a while ago in favor of it.

Here's a link for All-Seeing Eye.

Ollie's bug: It doesn't run smoothly even with 2, I repeat, TWO voodoo II 8MB cards in SLI mode.
What gives???? This is even after I forced WickedGL to install drivers for it.

OUCH

V2:Q


But they were ahead of the times back then..

 

[Rage187]

I finally got a chance too play it on a fast server..


Not Bad..

Great graphics..


But too realistic gameplay..


Give me the old rocketlauncher and a railgun next too any of these toys..


Although the air-strikes are pretty damn cool..

Is it worth the download on a 56k? If I found something to do while it was downloading ?

 

[Rage187]

Yeah its worth downloading, but I would not play w/ a 56k..

Even w/ cable and a 85 ping it gets choppy here and there..

 

[Sniper82]

so maybe I shouldnt? I'll let you all make that decision for me as I know nothing about the game.

V2 in SLI?? Ollie, it's time for a new vidcard. You can get something that'll blow away the SLI setup for under $50. Geez, I just picked up a Geforce 256 DDR for $45. You can also get a Geforce MX200 for $50. Or if you really want to go hog wild, how about a Radeon LE for around $70.

 

[Wellcky]

A bump for those whom still need help.

I only play it on servers with under 100 ping (on DSL) and I have yet to experience choppiness.
I did at first, but there is an option somewhere (don't remember off the top of my head) where you set your connection speed. The default is 33.6k, change that to cable/dsl if you have it. I lost all choppiness after that.
