There was a Field X Night?! YESSSS! bring it back!!!! I HATE the daylight version of Field...(then again, I prefer night maps all-around...)

Holy crap, there is?! I play this game for quite a while and never knew this... Anyway, what about adding the old "Keep 'em comin!" sound from the original Renegade as a purchase confirmation sound? That's how it was in the old days - if you heard it - the purchase is done. If you didn't hear it - no purchase done.

Holy $h!t...never knew that was possible. Guess I am a n00b myself... But in all seriousness, Everything @CoolAid wrote is spot-on. I personally want to strangle that YT guy who made this influx of horny teenagers (sorry, that's how I picture them) to our game. Don't get me wrong - it's perfectly fine to be a horny teenager, but they should at least LISTEN to ppl trying to help them. That night, a week ago or so, I was SOOO pissed at one of these newcomers (never saw him/her since), because he repeatly bought humvees, used them to get to the other side of the map, and simply leave them out, only for Nod's SBH to happily pick up the shiny ride. Even when I tried - repeatly!!! - to tell him/her (assuming it's a him, forgive me) NOT to do that, even by using private chat - I don't know if he actually read or not, but he simply ignored me. Actually he did reply to my chat, but seemed as though he simply doesn't give a f!@k. He kept on going! that is team-hampering in my book, but when I voted him to be kicked for that - not enough players agrees, because "he is new, give him a chance". Well, I have. He simply gave me (or all of us) the finger. Not to mention that those players repeatedly insisted on getting engis and not hotwires/technicians, no matter how we tried to tell them why they should do it. I think they're under the impression it costs them real $$$ or something. Cheep bastards... I actually rage-quit that match (first time it ever happened to me), and after crying to @kira about it for a good few minutes, I returned to the server to apologize for my behavior towards everyone in general and towards that player specifically (both via public survey message and via private message, which he didn't bother to respond to), but the scar remained. Because of this incident, btw, I have withdrawn my application to become an in-game moderator, since I didn't believe I deserved it anymore (sorry @NodSaibot again, for wasting your time...) Anyway, excuse me for being an angry fish here, but if the newcomers don't wish to learn, don't bother reading the tips we give them - more than once!!! - then as far as I'm concerned, they can beat the hell out of the game. This isn't some modern AAA shit they can do whatever they want. This is a classic, vintage game brought back to life by saint people, and should be cherished and polished and tendered with love, and not be ruined by some jerks who came to try it because a silly youtuber who gets his money from saying "oh wow, look at this game!" told them to try it. That youtuber doesn't give a f!@#, and you all know it. And, again - DON'T get me wrong - new players ARE an asset and ARE very important to the game, IF they are willing to pay attention, learn from their mistakes (even if they repeat them a few times it's fine), communicate with the more experienced ones, and basically show some caring, and not join-in thinking this is GTA and doing whatever their **** tells them too. I hope none of you find this long post offensive, and apologize if you do, as this was not my intention. I simply wrote from heart. See you on the battleground.

Ah, man...That's sad. I like that map and I usually play during peak hours... I still think there should be a RANDOM map choice, and if it is picked - ANY map can be loaded, regardless of team count. P.S. more nighttime maps!

😭😭😭 At least consider bringing back the function from the allnoobs server to the offical servers...or as a basic function of the game... I ask again, is it THAT problematic?

Like what? I mean, is it THAT problematic? It's only color, and a fixed set of those, say - red (for GDI ofc), yellow (for Nod), blue and green? Ofc if you want more... Pretty please? 😢

Not sure if this is the correct sub-forum, but still: I remember one server (don't remember which) had the option to change unit colors (primarily tanks) via the F5 prompt. For example, you'd type "!setcolor GDI blue" and GDI tanks would become bluish. Same goes for Nod, and using only some obvious colors (not "bright green" or "dark green". Simply green, etc.). Thing is, I REALLY wish we could have done that in the official servers today (or any server, to that matter), and not only for tanks! Just like Black Hand on NvN is basically "Blue Nod" (which I like!), is it possible to do the same to both factions, and be able set the entire color-scheme by choice? I used to set my team's color to green and the enemy to red (or yellow, which is my least favored color), and I don't think it gives anyone an advantage if one uses this color or that. Your thoughts?

Good to know. Thanks!

Since my original topic was locked before I could reply SamusAran's accusations, I shall post them here. It's unfair not to give me a chance to reply to his accusations, and his putting my reputation into question. OK, You have quite a nerve to make some very serious accusations against me, so this is my response. The fact remains that in the map in question, where you commanded, someone decided to vote you out, and you took it really, really bad. Hey - IT'S JUST A GAME! The next thing you know, you start talking $h!t to everyone, including me. I tried to tell you to calm down. You, in response, told me to go !@#$ for the reason I'm being useless and "have a shit k/d", like that matters too much, as well as telling other they are "!@#%ing cunts at the bottom of the scoreboard" or something like that. You were bragging that your are "literally the top player of the team", to which I said "are you? look again". WHAT I MEANT was you are not ranked first, that's all! I HAVE, IN NO WAY, TRIED TO SAY I'M A BETTER PLAYER THAN YOU. That is your (poor) interpretation. I never said and never will say I'm better than this or that player. It's funny that now you tell me, right here, to go !@#$ myself and that I am a whiny bitch, and then you apologize for snapping out. Make up your mind. What about today? Calling me "Fishyshoes autism" is fine by you? pushing my tanks into enemy base is fine by you? You're not exactly being the bigger man here, even if you think (especially if you think) other people done wrong to you. Which brings me to your accusations. I have NEVER!!!! pushed your tanks into enemy base. That is an outright LIE. In the game yesterday I even repaired you more than I did anyone else (and you were quite thankless, as you already know). As for talking dirty to you, or abusing you, and TROLLING YOU? Exactly what the hell are you talking about? what did I ever say to you? I didn't talk to you directly or indirectly EVER, before yesterday! If you have proof for your accusations - by all means, put them here. And if it is true - I'm more than willing to apologize. But you have no proof, I'm quite sure of it. Why? because I never talk in a toxic way to ANYONE!!! My "trolling", so to speak, is only by changing my name to some YEET variant (more on that in a bit) and sometimes posting silly surveys or asking silly questions. NOTHING OFFENSIVE, and certainly not against anyone specific! So stop lying. Fact is, many people here know you, and already have something against you for quite some time - and probably for good reason, unfortunately. What you did today was extremely childish. You entered the game in full intention of trolling me, and hampering our team. That's very mature of you. If this is your way to solve problems - That's your business, but not the way to solve problems like an adult. YOU are the one who has been banned and muted before. You should check youself before you criticize others and tell lies about them. As for the YEET issue. I do not know any of them personally (actually, I know NO ONE personally in the community), and since I saw this gag of many people calling themselves YEET somehow, I just wanted a piece of the joke. That is all. Have I ever bullied you or anyone? NO. Have I ever deliberately hampered you or anyone? NO, AND YOU KNOW IT. Have THEY ever bullied you or hampered you? I don't know. If they did - that's very regrettable, and if it's true - report them! and if need be - provide proof! Words alone are not enough. Bad words won't get you anywhere. Whether they done anything or not - it is NOT my responsibility. I am responsible only for myself. And I must say that in all the games I've played with them (or against them) - I actually think they play pretty well together, and in an effective way. I never saw them fooling around in a bad taste that hampers their team. If any one of those players hurt you - deal with them, and don't put me into this. If it hurts you (or anyone else, @Dagama) so much - I'll stop changing my in-game name to any YEET variant. Not that I owe anything to you, but since you think I'm doing this in order to troll you - I'll prove to you that isn't the case. I thought the entire YEET issue was an innocent joke. Hope you read this through, thank you if you did. P.S. I hope you'll sometime encounter some autistic people. Real ones. See what they are. Maybe then, you'll stop using that term so lightly and think it's funny. It is not. And I say the same about terms like "gay" or "cancer" etc. These kind of words have no place.

As much as I hate to do this, here we go again. He played tonight again, under various names, with specific intent to tema-hamper by pushing my tank several times into nod base's obelisk. he was kicked a few times but always came back, using different names. One such name, was, of course, "Fishyshoe Autism". Screenshot provided. I'm very sure it is him, and after trying to be reasonable yesterday, today I have to, regrettably, ask you to ban him permanently. Today it's me, tomorrow it's someone else, but everyone is affected. I had to disturb Luhrian's gaming because of this, during which he even accidently kicked another (innocent) player. This has gone far enough. We don't need people like this in our community. Thank you, and sorry I have to do this.

Can I join you two?

Didn't know that. No wonder he pissed off several people last night... Thank you (both) for the quick responsive actions.

Appreciated!

Thank you Sarah, for the detailed answer 🙂

Hi, I don't usually do this, but tonight's game was quite ruined for me (and others too I might add) because of one rogue player who simply couldn't take being voted out commander. His in-game name is "Brexit". It happened on the official server, map "Under". He commanded GDI, and while most of the game the team managed to keep Nod baselocked, the tide turned later on. A player with a generic name ("Player####") wanted to impeach him, and the team did. At that point, all hell broke lose. Mr. Brexit began shouting bad words at the other team members, talking down to them in harsh language which was clearly of no humorous intention. For example, to a player who said to him "your command is ineffective" or something like that, he said "you're just a little cunt at the bottom of the scoreboard". He later boasted for being "literally the top player of the team", to which I pointed out he wasn't - It was actually me (not that I give a damn), and I got there by REPAIRING the tanks at the front, including his, many times. When I pointed that out, he thought I was bragging I'm better than he (which was of course not what I said), and started saying things such "shut up fishy you useless cunt with crappy k/d, all you did was repairing, nothing useful". Well. Repairing isn't useful. I see. I want to see ONE PERSON who agrees with that. If that is not enough - he kept calling people, including me - "autistics". This word is NOT something that should be used as a taunt, same as "gay" and such. Autistic people never choose to be autistic, and it is no laughing matter. I'm attaching a screenshot as proof. Those who know me know that I don't usually get into these sort of battles with other players, but this one crossed the line, and simply because he was overly sensitive for being removed from command. I do not ask to ban the player, but to give him a warning that such behavior is unacceptable, and that next time he should be temporarily banned. Many people talk dirty during game, but I have NEVER seen something like that, so overly offensive. There's a huge difference between the regular trash-talk and being offensive towards your teammates over a simple matter of commanding in game. Thank you.

Thanks. I mistakenly thought it had something to do with the flora 😅 Silly fish. Well I am curious about all the other settings (such as post-processing effects, static decals, etc.) but unless you have the time and willingness to briefly explain about every single setting (not only for my sake, by the way, but the entire community) - then we can leave it as it is. I just wonder if I'll be able to tell the difference between ON/OFF for some of them, and how much they can affect performance (namely FPS).

🤣🤣🤣 🤣🤣🤣 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Hello! I do have a fair few questions about some of the settings I'm not sure I fully understand (mostly graphic, if not all), but let's take it one thing at the time. For starters, what exactly is the "BLOOM" setting? what's the difference between having the value set to 0.00 or 1.00? More questions coming after this one, unless what I wrote below will happen 😉 Thanks! P.S. May I suggest, if it is not too much of a bother, to post a list of all the different settings and their meanings? apart from the self-explanatory ones, of course.

Hello! So I was playing in the [Official] Renegade X - Eu server, as GDI, on Steppe. What happened was that on a few occasions when I died, I could see the inside of the HoN, before respawning. At one time I could clearly see they were massing dozas inside, preparing to rush. I remember this happening a few days ago, on the same server, but I don't remember which map. Needless to say this felt like cheating - I died somewhere in the field, nowhere close to HoN, and was able to get this valuable intelligence... It should be emphasized - it didn't happen every single time I got killed, nor did it happen in other maps, but yet - it happened, more than once. Don't know if you can do anything about it, but I wanted to let you know nonetheless. -Fishy

Of course. Attached. This reminds me of the issue we talked about on another topic (where the SDK re-asked me to build shaders every time I started it). Could this be the same problem? If it is, how does one solve it, if it's even possible? A windows clean-install (which I'm not sure is worth it)? Launch.log

Said this before and saying it again... The VP system needs some fixing. I have posted about it here a while ago, yet it seems the devs simply don't agree with me. Or the post was too long... In short - basically I think the VP system should be tied to the game timer - that is, every player gets a constant VP increase every few minutes (see the link for an example), in addition to other bonuses such as killing, repairing, etc. until they reach Elite rank - and then only bonuses from killing, repairing etc. apply to them. That also means that if a new player joins (for example) 30 minutes after the round started, his/her VP can under no circumstance be higher than that of a player who was actively playing all those 30 minutes doing something useful as being a taxi pilot. I think this is stupid that a newly-joined player starts with more VP than a player who played the entire match, doing even something as basic as taxi-ing or even AFK-repairing a building (imagine you had a player constantly repairing a building from the start - wouldn't you think that player helps you actively? that player reduces damage from surprise rushes and buys their team more time to eliminate the threat...) Not to mention it's quite ridiculous that if two new players join at the same time - the player which joined the leading (possibly stronger) team gets more VP than the one who joined the other (possibly weaker) team. Doesn't sound fair to me. In other words - the rich get richer. Doesn't help balance. So - if the solution I suggest in the abovementioned post was to be implemented - the problem with taxi pilots is pretty much solved or at least becomes smaller - since they don't get (much) behind in VP compared to the rest of their team, and they surely won't have less VP than players who join some time after the game started. I hope you get my point.

Whoops! I may have posted in the wrong sub-forum 😰 If I did, please move this topic to Technical Support! Thanks (sorry!)

Hi, I know I wrote about this in the main sub-forum (not many replies there), so I figured I might try here. Ever since the last update (5.469d) I'm experiencing much longer loading times. It happens when loading the game itself, when a new map starts, and even when quitting a server - it takes a while before I'm back in the main menu. That never happened before. Usually these things took about 10 seconds or so. Now it feels like they take 2 or 3 times longer... The game works fine otherwise. I tried reinstalling the game from scratch - doesn't seem to help. I run 64 bit. My specs: i7-8700K RTX 2080Ti 32GB RAM (3000MHz) 1TB M.2 NVMe SSD (Samsung 970evo) Windows 10 64bit Home Is this a known issue, or is it something fishy (ha! 😁) on my end? Does anyone else experience it? Thanks in advance!

OK, I have NO IDEA what I've done differently this time, I can swear I did exactly the same - but now it works! It still re-asks me about the scripts, and again I simply answer "no" every time (except the first time obviously). After it built the shaders, the SDK runs normally. I followed the tutorial, and now the custom kill sound works (took a bit of trial-and-error, but eventually it worked). Funny you have to "waste" 25GB of disk-space just for a little sound file 😆 Yosh, sir, thank you very much for your support. Next time we meet in-game, you get a free vehicle from me (assuming we're on the same team 😉) Case closed, you may now lock this thread, Fishy. P.S. YOU MUST BOW DOWN TO THE ALMIGHTY BUNGHOLE! 🤣
