Thanx! Didn't know that patch was coming.

[Pure Luck]

does the punkbuster enable itself on servers that use it? Just wondering because I installed the patch and started the game, pulled down the console and it said Punkbuster was disabled.

well this d/l just doesnt want to finsh , ive had to restart it twice now anyway....

Hey PL :).

I have the patch installed, and on I cannot get on-line in this game at all. get to the SOF 2 loading screen, and that is all the farther it will go. The computer doesn't lock up, cause the mouse's cursor can still be moved.

[Pure Luck]

It worked ok for me. Just played on a few servers.

[MySt]

i'm having troubles all over the joint since my format yesterday..

Sof 2 is going 80FPS then 1FPS 80FPS then 1fps and the lagometer looks all good.


then i try to install the patch and it tells me to reinstall the game.

Bleh,i know the cd is around one of the computers here sumwhere.....like finding a needle in a hay stack.

heh, yesterday I found my Tribes2 cd. I've been wondering where it was for the last couple of months. I normally keep all my games and windows cd's in the cubbyholes of my desk. Somehow Tribes2 actually made it into the cd tower where all other misc programs, etc are. :D

[MySt]

well i found it lol, on one of the desks here, lol i have to be the most unorganised person in the world.


anyway i love the new gun just jumped in for 5 mins then it's good, feels like the shootie has been weakend ,or my aim is getting worse :).

I fixed the problem that was causeing the trouble. I love the new gun too.

[MySt]

yeah i had that freeze on load prob once or twice , and i am still getting framerate lag but it doesnt drop as much now so its ok.

and to answer that Q for ya PL , Punkbuster has to be enabled to join servers that have punkbuster enabled, when you go into the console before join a game it says disabled because you have not yet joined a server.
i seriusly dont know why half the servers out there have it disabled, cheating is sumthing that needs to be stomped on hard.

well all have to get a game going sumtime :).
