[Mines suggestion? Feedback?]

7 hours ago, Ryz said:

Now you can just mine extra without risking a building to have less mines. For example WF on Goldrush had 9(!) mines - 3 normal and 6 'personal'

To clarify.... the WF back door had so many mines on purpose just due to how I mined it. If you saw every building, you'd see some were intentionally short some mines as it's unlikely anyone was ever going to go in there. 3 mines per door is just PUB 'standard'. 

The only reason it jumped to like 9 mines in that door is cuz we just dumped the mines for the dead Refinery in that door...since using that door is Crab's only strategy on that map. 

[Launcher does not work.]

Just to clarify, does the launcher not open, or does the game not launch when you try to join a server/launch the game?

[ReX don't launch]

Have you tried 'Reset Game' in the Launcher > Settings  menu? 

Alternatively, I have to ask if you've restarted your computer, as that seems to fix more issues than I'd like to admit. 

Start with those, and we can move on from there. 

[Could Not Select A Reliable Download Server]

So far people have been fixing that just by restarting their computers.

That's  actually been a thing since like beta 1. Just always gets overlooked

[How do I change the install directory?]

When it's installing the launcher initially [the .msi you download from the site] you should be able to specify where it goes. You can also move the Renegade X folder wherever you'd like if it's already installed.

This is Thaylaron. Thank you for your reply. Running UDK.exe directly fails. The Renegade X icon application momentatily appears in the taskbar at the bottom and then disappears, then nothing. Any thing else we can try? I want to be in Tiberian Sun in time!

Specs:

CPU: 1920X threadripper. GPU: Maxwell Titan X. Ram: 32GB DDR4. SSD. Win 10 64 bit.

If you are listening to this, you are the resistance. (sorry I just finished watching terminator)

Check that your antivirus, or Windows Smartscreen isn't blocking it. That's what it sounds like if it's showing up only briefly. 

 

[Possible Copyright issue?]

I am not sure where to post this or if I need to talk to someone directly. I have started uploading videos of game play to YouTube and there has been a copyright claim on the in-game music I believe the name of the track is "Blinded". Details can be provided if necessary.

There's a sample in Blinded inspired by an Avenged Sevenfold song. Known 'issue'... even though it's only a piece of the song and not the actual song. I'd just... turn Blinded off on the jukebox if you're recording.

have you tried disabling the framerate smoothing? it caps the framerate way lower than necessary for me most of the time, its on page 3 in esc video options.

but this -USEALLAVAILABLECORES, i cant complain about my FPS but still curious about this, how do i add it as a switch?
can create a shortcut to \win64\udk.exe and add -USEALLAVAILABLECORES to the target, but idk about the switch part or if im even thinking correct.

Either at it while running it through command prompt, or just do what you said, yeah. 

[Secret to 60 FPS]

We've had some people get better performance by running the 64bit binary directly, and tacking on -USEALLAVAILABLECORES as a switch

The binary is located in Renegade X\Binaries\win64\udk.exe

[Cannot cast commander abilities when binding Q key]

Alright I had a similar problem with the vehicle lock key when I bound L to something else. Here's the only fix:

Reinstall the game.

Some commands are so fucking obscure you will NEVER be able to find them in the list of controls (customizable or by console). Unless you are able to do "setbind Q spotting"

Just re-install the game and it'll all go back to normal otherwise you can't command. It's the only thing you can do.

Be very careful when binding any key on your keyboard as this shit happens to me constantly.

Or you can just... Reset Game... which takes about 10 seconds. Or delete UDKSystemSettings.ini 

[Cannot cast commander abilities when binding Q key]

At the moment it is attached to 'spotting'. In a later update (probably not the next one) we'll make it properly customizable. Wasn't aware of the French keyboard design. 

[Ban Request]

Survived them fine. Those were also not publicly moderated servers that had rules in place already that said specifically not to do that.

Nice try though.  

 

Topic locked, since moderation already occurred. 

[Ban Request]

Guy has already been banned. If someone's only goal is to yell obscenities in chat, AND spam surveys/kick-votes, then that is a completely legitimate reason to involve moderation. 

EDIT: He also took to trying to impersonate Cronic just after he left. 

[Game Installer Does not Run]

Could be Windows Smart screen. You can also try checking your anti-virus to make sure it didn't just stop it from running. 

To check if it's just Windows being weird, you can open up CMD as an administrator, and run the launcher install msi that way. The command would look something like 

msiexec /i "PathToDotMSIFile"  

Key here is just running it as an admin, as I've had to do that for msi installers on multiple occasions.

There's supposed to be a damage camera shake.....that sometimes just gets cut when everything is built and compiled. Will ensure it's back in the next update, as it's been driving me crazy

Known bug. Will be fixed in a coming patch this month

[Connecting to servers just gives a box that is "Not Responding"]

@CronicxEMD

Please post the Launch.log file found in Renegade X\UDKGame\Logs. 

Also, have you tried hitting 'reset game's under Settings in the launcher? 

Were you prompted to install the UE3 Redistributable during installation? 

[Fun into misery.]

Just picking out a few points:

EMP grenades are there to keep the game from becoming world of tanks. They reduce repairs by a fairly large margin, though they require your team to pay attention and focus fire. 

Defender advantage is actually hard-countered by veterancy, as the offensive actions reward more VP than defensive actions. In most practical situations, this leads to the aggressive team being able to reach Elite/Heroic ranks, scaling their damage to levels that are nigh impossible to out repair. 

The general match time that was being developed for was about 30-45 minutes, with maps like Under or Field being closer to an hour to an hour and half. Gameplay wise the more stalemate maps just allow veterancy to do its thing. Every weapon is basically 'broken' at Heroic, and that's by design. It's not perfect by any means, and some people aren't down with the grind to heroic, but I at least find it fun. Not actually a fan of <20m games, but also can happily say veterancy keeps RenX from having too many 2+ hour matches, which is too much for even me. 

 

[Connecting to servers just gives a box that is "Not Responding"]

You wouldn't have needed to uninstall Steam (unless you were just trying the things in that topic). 

Every solution to that error is talking about deleting folders in Documents/My Games, though Renegade X doesn't hold anything there (you can check that folder though) 

Try running the game, letting it crash, then check the Application portion of the Windows Event Viewer. (If you're on Windows 10 you can just search for 'Event Viewer')  

 

[Crash on settings screen.]

That's the 1st time I think I've ever seen it crash in a loop trying to figure out how many resolutions there are available. I know for a fact we have people who play in 4k, and one person in 8k. Not sure why it's crashing for you. 

Will forward the error up the chain, but in the mean time you can manually set your resolution by finding the 'Renegade X\UDKGame\Config\UDKSystemSettings.ini' file, and searching for 'ResX' and 'ResY' values. Set those to whatever resolution you need, then save that file and you should be fine.  

[Bitdefender and Renegade X]

Did you download the launcher from THIS website? The UDK.exe files downloaded from the launcher are safe, and shouldn't encrypt any files anywhere.

From what you described, it sounds like you're running into some heuristic behaviour as described here from BitDefender. 

https://www.bitdefender.com/consumer/support/answer/2700/

The only files changed in the regular course of Renegade X running, are in the folder itself. 

[Connecting to servers just gives a box that is "Not Responding"]

https://steamcommunity.com/discussions/forum/1/1815422173029184895/  (It's for Borderlands, but that's also UE3, and this seems like an engine crash more than game-specific) 

Are you running with Steam on in the background?
