Totem Arts Staff NodSaibot Posted December 19, 2017 Totem Arts Staff Share Posted December 19, 2017 You don't have to use Steam, unless that's some setting with Jupiter that I've never heard of. If you're on Discord, Cronambs is the owner and you can mention him or PM him through there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agent Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 It's also often enabled by accident, due to things like steam running in the background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fffreak9999 Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 If it states that you need steam to play. Then you need to have steam running (in the background or system tray) and be logged into Steam at the time of joining the server. If you do not meet this criteria then the server will not allow you to join. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's literally 0 need to make things more complicated. "Complicated" is the wrong word when the game literally says you need to be running Steam If the server has !rec's or wants to without the hindrance of "cannot X the user is not running steam" then it is a benefit and easier to just force all players to run Steam when on that server Doesn't harm anyone to run steam, even if its an account with nil or free games 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isupreme Posted December 24, 2017 Author Share Posted December 24, 2017 All i know is i go to join the server and then i cant. I can stop and go set up another program... but i don't. Might in the future if the server gets busy i gues 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djlaptop Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 If RenX suddenly required Steam, I would leave the game. Half the time I can't even run it due to running the game on a Mac (technically I could install the Mac version but this will not be detected by the game in Wine), but on my Windows computer I don't have or want Steam. It's the iTunes of games and I won't install it on principle. I realize that the loss of one player is not that big a deal, but for each one lost that's vocal there are undoubtedly many more that aren't. And for a game that's struggling with playercount as it is (as well as a steep learning curve for newbies), the more obstacles there are to playing, the worse for the game it is overall. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isupreme Posted December 26, 2017 Author Share Posted December 26, 2017 (edited) Setting all that Negativity aside for the moment....... My main interest in this server is seeing it active. The ping is incredible for me. I hope other players will use the server. I have a bunch of question i would ask the NEC folk... too bad they not on forums Edited December 26, 2017 by isupreme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use Steam, actually. This is about the fact that it is stupid to force Steam on everyone, when it's clearly not needed. On 11/14/2017 at 7:22 AM, Agent said: Yeah, right about half. Half of the player base uses Steam. I am sure if they wanted stats, they would use Steam. The bottom line is, you don't know how forcing Steam globally would affect the player base; I don't think now is the time for taking risks that may adversely affect the amount of players. Honestly, I don't give 2 flying fucks about the NEC server, as there's hardly any players there most of the time. Let him run his server how he wants.

Talk about being egoistic. I assume that he lost his patience and flipped, which caused him to throw expletives around. In light of such.. why is this person a mod on CT exactly? On topic: Often Steam needs to update and also show a newly released game or a sale, which appear in popup windows that some people find to be annoying; and just like how they find the intro movie in RenX annoying, these people just want to skip all and play right away.
