So, the Quake Wars demo is out.
« on: September 13, 2007, 02:17:29 AM »
I've been itching to try this out for as long as I've known about it. Anyone else up for a game?

Actually, I may be. I'll probably suck TERRIBLY, but hey, why not.

EEP, it supports the Radeon x700 and up.. I only have the x550... Well, IIRC it is kinda overclocked... but still, this isn't gonna be easy on my comp :/
This is going in my sig. :)

Tsutter and co. were in the beta, they said it was underwhelming apparently. I'd like to try it anyway.

I've got an x800, so I don't expect to be running it on full settings either, but I suppose it'll work :s

Ok, installed, played with settings a bit, but when I tried to play against computers, it just plain crashed.

I'm still downloading it. Are you able to get in a game by yourself, though?

I tried getting on servers, but by the time the list loaded fully, i had about 30 seconds, and if I didn't chose a server by then, i got a message saying "you lost your connection to the internet service" or something.

I haven't bothered actually trying to get on a server yet.

I managed to get in and playing, it's pretty cool. I was very impressed at how nice it looks, it's a really pretty game, even on my just-barely-above-minimum-specs computer.

Did you get the disconnection thing if you wanted too long?

No, but I read about it in the documentation, apparently it's a fairly common problem, caused by servers having the time from connect to getting in-game too short, and not giving people enough time to load.
