[Game won't run]

I wanted to know what download link you used. Because it sounds like you downloaded the SDK by mistake. The SDK is NOT the multiplayer and has none of the multiplayer maps which would explain why nothing happens when you press launch. You need to download from the "Renegade X: Multiplayer (Open Beta 4)" section of the downloads page. If this is not the case please attach the log file of when you try to launch a skirmish.

[Game won't run]

What is your specs and what download link did you use?

[music]

The music files are stored in renegade x inside .upk files located Renegade X\UDKGame\CookedPC\RenX\Sounds the sound files can be extracted using a third party tool https://forums.beyondunreal.com/threads ... es.174128/ the sound files are in the .ogg format. Or you can download the OST http://www.indiedb.com/games/renegade-x ... soundtrack but I think it is missing the new song Just Do it Up

[Installation?]

all goods I can see how you could make a mistake the SDK is at the top of the downloads page someone should probably change that.

EDIT didn't see you comment about the modDB page yeah that needs to be updated too.

[Installation?]

check the directory of your install for a folder called "Launcher" and then run "Renegade X Launcher.exe"

[Help for Setting Up UDK/SDK]

Go into the renegade x sdk directory go into binaries then win32 and create a shortcut of UDK.exe. Right click on the shortcut and go properties in the target field add the word editor after the quotes should look something like

"C:\Renegade X\Binaries\Win32\UDK.exe" editor

then run the shortcut that should open the UDK editor if UDK crashes try this guide viewtopic.php?f=136&t=74919

[Oceanic / Australian Renegade X Server]

I'll join when there are players. It would be nice not to have 300 ping for once.

[Exploit: Speedhack like effect from vehicle collision]

I made this video a long time ago that shows the issue

Can people benefit from it? Maybe if it is possible to travel into the enemy base with this you could call out enemy vehicles. Also if the hit detection is client side does that mean I can shoot someone on my screen when im actually somewhere else on the server?

[2 secrets of the Lakeside, did you know it ?]

Before the public beta there was more easter eggs. I can't fully remember but it was something about a coin down a well.

[Using the soundtrack for streaming music?]

From the readme file from the OST

All tracks can be downloaded and

distributed/shared for free. If you'd like to use a track in a video unrelated to Renegade X,

please give credit to the Renegade X team in the video by simply linking to our main page,

http://www.renegade-x.com, somewhere in the video.

[Renegade X Crash (WTH SRSLY)]

Please provide logs of your game crashes here is how viewtopic.php?f=34&t=72159 also check that the issue is not a common one viewtopic.php?f=34&t=72023

[Why do I have to stare at logos every time I load it up?]

I know you can't do this with the launcher but you can run UDK.exe with the launch parameter -nomovie this should disable the starting cutscene. Perhaps there should be an option in the launcher for additional launch parameters.

[failed to find main jar application error starting launcher!]

Looks to me like the old launcher the new one doesn't use java download the latest one here viewtopic.php?f=11&t=73835

[Tipp: How to get about 30 - 50 % better performance]

I can't test this myself, but wouldn't that also remove the target painter for airstrikes? Or am I confusing that option with something else?

Airstrikes are dynamic decals which are a different option.

[A few issues with the settings in Beta 3]

There are three ways to set your name:

1. In the launcher

2. It will automatically use your steam nickname when logged in

3. By console command i think it is 'setnick yournamehere'

[Beta 3! Come and get it!]

Downloaded the game, starts up perfectly fine, until it tells me that I need to download Beta3, even though I downloaded beta 3 and reinstalled it again..

Any clue? ;/

Are you able to connect to any of the servers or does it kick you back to the menu? If this is the case please tell me what download link you used. What might be happening is you downloaded the earlier version of beta 3. The reason for the delayed release was there was an issue with beta 3 and had to be rebuild, by the time the issue was found there were already a few mirrors. We hopefully deleted all of the mirrors with the older version but this might not be the case.

EDIT

Great game, finished installing it and it works perfectly fine !

I see you edited your post if everything is working fine enjoy renegade x

[Beta 3! Come and get it!]

Why was I not informed x-mountain would be publicly released in this beta!

[Can't install Open Beta 2! Help?]

They way i remember it, the installation screen took along time to pop up. I think i waited somewhere near 15 min then the UAC screen popped up. Just wait a little longer and report back.

[Crashes and PTs]

You want a full explanation here you go.

This was from the private testing section of the forums StealthEye made this discovery

RenX_Game.Rx_BuildingAttachment_PT.CloseMenu calls GFxMoviePlayer.Close(true). That function unloads any resources associated with the GFxMoviePlayer, and sets flag RF_PendingKill on the Rx_GFxPlayerMenu object. That means that it will be removed in the next garbage collection cycle, which by default runs every 30 seconds. When the garbage collector runs, it removes the Rx_GFxPlayerMenu and sets Rx_HUD.PTMovie = None. So, if the garbase collector runs at least once after a PT is accessed, no crash will occur. However, if the game ends when the garbage collector has not yet been called, Rx_HUD::PTMovie is still set to the already unloaded, pending to be deleted GFxPlayerMenu. The code in PostRender sees that Rx_HUD::PTMovie is still set, and calls ClosePTMenu. But because it was already unloaded, this causes a crash.

So, the exact reproduction steps are:

- close a PT

- end the game before the garbage collector runs (if you are fast, that should usually be true)

The fix is probably to ensure that Rx_HUD.PTMovie is always set to None after Close(true) is called. Adding "RxHUD.PTMovie = None;" to ClosePTMenu seems to work fine. It is possible that the same issue exists for one or more other screens as well, but I could not find any indication thereof.

Workaround: Until there is a fix, players should avoid PTs the last 30 seconds of the game.

[Still alive and kicking!]

No fix for the ramjet/railgun/personal ion reloading glitches?

What glitches are you talking about?

[How can I get involved?]

If you want to join the team make a post in this thread viewtopic.php?f=11&t=1086 you will need to state your skills and a portfolio of past work you have done.

[Apache wobbling]

This happens when you have a low frame rate, enter the command "stat fps" into the console to what your frame rate is, you might want to lower your settings to get more frames.

[Crashing when there is a nuke]

You most likely crashed because you accessed a purchase terminal in the last 30 seconds of the game. I can understand how you think it is a nuke because that most likely ended the game.

[Unreal 3 Character as AI?]

Was this AI also not moving and next to a base defense structure. Most likely was the driver to a guard tower or SAM site. If you know how to recreate this that would be great, when the driver is out of its structure the building does not work properly.

[It is time to release the Beta-3]

You want news we got some!! server owner StealthEye posted in private forums what looks to be the cause of the crashes, some testing needs to be done but it looks like we found it for real this time.

If you don't want to crash in the mean time don't open a PT in the last 30 seconds of a game!!
