Yeah, of all the issues that need addressing, this is one they've said specifically they are in the process of addressing. This Bugs/Requests section was pretty much created in response to a thread just like yours. It's coming. And none too soon. Poo...  [Read More]

Yeah, totally uinstall the first video card and reinstall whichever card is better. But what two cards are you using? That might play a factor. The minimum reqs are 64MB and Hardware T&L...  [Read More]

Does sound like hardware. Are the lockups random? In the middle of playing? Laptop system could be overheating. Try propping it up to give it more airflow, perhaps. Do other games lock up? Can you run through 3dMark03 or any other-full stress benchm...  [Read More]

1) Rounds can end too abruptly. # of CPs does not reflect Reinforcements. Perhaps I need to do more testing on this but I think I've noticed it properly and consistently to suggest a change. Scenario: One team is overall winning but the losing team...  [Read More]

There's really no reason to use a joystick in this game. The flight controls are not sensitive enough at all to require the control of a joystick. wasd + mouse will do you just fine. however if you are a heavy-vehicle guy who plays a pilot and simply...  [Read More]

Anybody who points to the graphics of UT2k4 as the pinnacle of the age needs a reality check. While the graphics aren't stellar they are quite good. The feel of a hazy battlefield, not being able to make out enemy troops in the distance, and the det...  [Read More]

Another tip is, when you are in an AT-ST by yourself, with nobody else in it, shoot the main guns until they overheat, then switch to other position and fire those guns until they overheat, then swith back and they will be recharged again! So you can...  [Read More]

I agree. The current blast is simply too weak. It does take about 5-10 shots to kill someone. It takes less than that with the best pistol in the game. It should take ~4 shots to kill someone. The current blaster just can't stand up to any other weap...  [Read More]

Improve locked-on missile behavior to make it easier to hit targets. The ability of a locked-on missile to hit its target should be vastly improved. Or the velocity of the shot improved. At current locking on does almost nothing, even a fully locked-...  [Read More]

Try joining an all-green server. Their concept of "green" ping definitely varies from what we're all used to. I joined all all-green server and my ping was 80-100. So yellow/yellow-green may be in the 200 range. It's a crappy server browser...  [Read More]

What color was the ping meter? May just be the server. Provide some other info... connection speed/type? Running anything in background (BT, Kazaa, mIRC)? Change the Online settings. Perhaps "Ticks per second" could help you if you lowered...  [Read More]

The only option that might help is "Ticks Per Second" which I've heard someone suggest to change to 30. Sounds like a good idea to me, based on other config files I've messed with. But if there's a hard FPS multi cap, then there's nothing y...  [Read More]

I have since been able to join servers (takes 8-10 secs). Not sure what the problem was. Atleast this thread will serve as a source for the actual ports. When I right-click on a server it goes to join, does 2 seconds of busy then goes back to the se...  [Read More]
