all my new records have not been updated since 2 weeks...
Records not updating, vista pads, occasional severe lag (players disappear mid-game, then reappear) and a new one: quakes that wont fire!?
Happened yesterday during WWC match several times - I pick up a quake, fire it and hear the quake sound but it wont deploy. I held on to one for an entire lap until it finally went off
But hey, I totally agree with PS - we got commercials so who can complain!
Those quakes not firing. Yeah, it happend to me, too. But only in eliminator since the 2.10 patch. I was only able to 'fire the sound' multiple times but not the wave itself. I thought of $max_num_quake = 2
Ehm ... you know that the amount of quakes depend on how many ads were displayed
in total before the race? So if 8 players are going for a race and only 2 got an ad, then
there will be only 2 quakes in the game.
In fairness to Microsoft and the Vista pads, perhaps this should be called the Apple Quicktime patch?
After all, Quicktime has stuff running the background that you never actually asked for, too.
hmmm....
Ad Pads
I had the same problem as Golgofier several times in past few days - only in Eliminator.
Even more, today something new has happened to me - in Eliminator on AP I've picked up a Quake, used it and... a Missile fired up o.O
(Yes, I'm 100% sure I picked up Quake ;p )
I got the quake cock-up in regular MP-races, don't do much eliminator.
This has happened to me too, in a normal MP race. I hit square and just got a sound, no visual. Hit square again and same again, sound, no visual. Just as I was about to hit it again it went off. Only one hit ericd7m though unfortunately. Eric also mentioned that he was hit with a quake earlier in the race but it had no effect on him.
I've also had a zone ship appear online in the place of a player who left the game but remained on the starting grid. It flashes between bright green and normal zone ship colours. It looks small compared to normal ships too. It happened before this patch once before though.
On top of this I've had trails of ships flash in front of me from nowhere, missiles appearing and bouncing around in front of me from nowhere, and yeldar appearing on the overpass on Anulpha in front of me from nowhere. Although that one turned out not to be a glitch, just yeldar. Then there are the occasions where I almost only get one weapon the whole time. First it was shield. Recently I've been getting rockets all the time. I was tricked into playing an eliminator match the other day and got zero quakes but hundreds of rockets. (Possibly not even an exaggeration if I count the three rockets at a time as the game was looong.)
Despite all this, I'm surprised that the record tables have stopped working again. Once again I'm thankful I have Connavar's site and a laptop so I can easily enter (rare) personal best times as I get them. I can't 'thumbs up' that site enough.
Good save in getting back on topic there at the end.
Haha yeah I loved that move onto the overpass, sweet as a nut. Those were some great races...need to practice summore, tis clear.
I've had the funky weapon thing with missiles before. Sound of missile followed by "where the?!"
record tables = fail atm
Is the server still down? I see that this thread was started on October 8.
well it's not down but the leaderboards are no longer updating (again) since the release of 2.10-ish.
