So if I press my jump button in the raptor-like vehicle in 2K4, I'll do a spinout? (at work.. can't check it at the moment) ..

your pot is a perfect example of the problem with sticking with a dead game. You are EXTREMELY unreceptive to change (sound like any other game? *cough*CS*cough*). I think it's funny that, in the XMP beta forums, everyone is saying how great this is and hailing the Free Monkey team as awesome gods of modding glory and how they would be happy to beta test the game for them and everything...then you come here and the only people complaining about the mod are the people that are still playing XMP with ALL it's faults and with players leaving at least weekly. Worf isn't trying to force anyone to like UTXMP. I think he is just saying "SHUT UP AND GO PLAY OR SOMETHING ELSE, WE DON'T WANT TO HEAR YOU WHINING!"
"a dead game" is your opinion
"all it's faults" is also your opinion
To me (and a lot of people) it's not a dead game, and it's got no fault in the design. I respect your opinion on the game, you don't like it, don't play it. I'm simply pointing out that my opinion is it doesn't need any change. If the Free Monkey team intend to keep all existing players and introduce more to UTXMP that would not play U2XMP for *other* reasons, like support and technical problems, then I suggest not changing any of the design. If they intend to make a game with a different design, then I suggest a different name for the game. Heck, even calling it XMP2 would be alright if it's a different design.
I expressed my interests in the project, and explained my reasons for what I desire from it. Was that not ok?

So turrets jumping off of vehicles and bases is intentional? A string of 2-minute matches in a row is an integral part of the genius of their design?

And you forget that some people have the performance issues in UT2004 and not in XMP. XMP is always fluid and perfect for me while UT2004 studders every 5 seconds.

We'll see what this patch does in a week.

Yeah I know that to.

Its just funny how more people have that problem with xmp than UT... and that if you have the problem in xmp ut works fine... I have yet to see one person that both preform like arse for.

As for 2k4 turn of preload players skins, that seems to be most of the problem.

Either way the upcoming patch for 2k4 should fix some issues, and if it doesnt I am sure people will flame atari and we will get a new patch. ;)

I did that a month ago and it didn't help. I have 1024mb of ram too.

The issue is all the memory leaks. My system hates memory leaks.

saito if you will try a few things they tend to help some people

turn down particals or turn them off for testing i dont know why but some systems that shouldnt have a problem with them do i have seen 20-30 fps boost from that change in some cases also set the xmp catche setttings in the ini to 128-256 or higher depending on how much ram you have

ut2k4 full runs like ass on 4 computers i have access to yet on all 4 i have xmp up and running smooth as silk even on ****ty maps

granted it dosnt loook as good on some vs others but with the proper tweaks for the system it work fine even on the p3 733 with 768 ram and a gf3ti550

ut2k4 on all systems acctes weird and buggers up for some reasion and it wont hold changes made to the ini even when i set the ini to read only afted i edit it *grummbles* least xmp lets me edit the ini damn it

The problem is that I DO LIKE THE GAME. The problem is that there are two reasons I don't play. It's buggy as crap and the tiny sommunity still playing it encompasses a number of idiots and jerks.

Also, I find it funny that the game runs exactly the same on my system at 800x600 with crappy details and 1600x1200 with full details. Identical framerates and everything.

You know, I was told something funny yesterday. That unless your one of the ones that help to contribute to the purpose of something in a good way, then your either one of the ppl who don't do anything or one that contributes to the problem.



I play this game because I find it fun, I do not look at the details because thats not what I do when I play the game. I look at the way to snipe someone on the move when it lags, not the fact that it lags and its caused by something on the server or the game itself. I cope with the game because I play it, I don't critique it like you ppl seem to do everytime you played it. Thanks.

I don't think it's nitpicking when you point a gun at a person's head and click to shoot and it does not shoot the nice man. I consider that a serious detractor from gameplay.

^^ well said m8

also those that bitch all the time also dont for the most part ask others for ideas or help

i have plenty of games that play weird some that run far better at 1280x1024 then they do at 800x600 why who the fook knows

with xmp in most cases i have helped people who let me gain a decent ammount of perf making the game far more playable

i get 280-320 ping on avrage so what i still have fun and skill kick ass on a good night (not good as in ping good as in night when i play well)

oh bloodrave i get 225-290 ping most nights closer to 250 range and u know funny thing is i do worse with a lower ping most of the time :O

dont bitch about the bugs learn to live with them as part of the game becuose they are part of the game they give xmp charictor

how boring would it be if everything was perfect like me ( :p ) pretty damned boring let me tell you i injoy xmp becouse like dead and others who play it dispite its buggs and shortcomings it is fun and better then the other options out there

so in short STFU or do something positive about it if you want help gime a holler im a grate tech/dignostition worst you may endup with is a system thats a little more up to date and faster :O

LMFAO you think xmp is the only game that dose that **** your lucky i have most games do crap like that you know what i do click agin if that dosnt work i click agin and then if that dosnt work i try running thru the wepps (some times quick wepp changes fixes this in games like xmp)

think of it as if ur gun jammed and your fighting with it to get the jam out makes the game more real ;) (trust me on this one i have had guns jam it dose happen and yes its a pain in the ass)
