Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad |OT| You're already dead... by friendly fire
- Thread starter demolitio
- Start date
Came across this last night while testing out graphical settings and such. Pretty sure I pee'd my pants a little when I got closer to it and realized it was not a corpse leaning on an MG. Quite surreal to see him move about, like something out of a horror movie.

Ahhhhhh yea the mkb 42 is fuck awesome!
Oh there will be tons of patches. This game will be supported till the end.
Also im getting shit performance compared to the beta like alot of other people, nothing I do seems to help, even on low it runs exactly the same as it does on high (hovers around 30fps with drops) at the start of a match even going to iron sights lags..
Anyone have suggestions?
Just deleted all game content and configs ect and its redownloading while im at work

New patch came through this morning. It crashes on startup about 50% of the time. Sound in menus but no sound in-game. Framerate is shit. I can't believe I preordered this and Dead Island in the same week. I'm going to go play a book.
Ok, I'm hoping someone here knows a fix for this but I doubt it. Every time I start up, the game has me locked on high settings which I switch to custom and change accordingly from there. Then I restart like it asks and when I boot the game back up, the settings are back to high meaning I have to change them again and it does this over and over.
I deleted my config files and have no clue what to do since that didn't work.

My stats are saving, my guns are leveling, and I have zero issues. As far as your settings resetting themselves, that happened to me some in the beta but just randomly stopped.
Any Gaf servers or a group of people actively getting together to play it? The community of this game is incredibly rude and defensive, some guy said Tripwire is the best dev in the biz right now and I laughed, the douchebag went on a ten minute rant about "how much of DICE's cock ive been sucking" and said Origin is a broken draconian piece of shit.

Funnily enough I've run into a lot of this too. There's always, like, one guy on the server who has to go MAN I AM SO GREAT FOR LIKING THIS GAME AM I RIGHT GUYS? Happens in every tactical shooter I play, I swear to god
I agree. Hopefully it will become what every other camping map becomes throughout history - relegated to shit. Sometimes you can't even crawl or run to the capture points because everyone is waiting for that single person to pop their head up and the tanks hardly help push.GuiltybyAssociation said:
Whenever it comes up I go Squad Leader and stick to the buildings to the side, taking out those who enjoy hiding amongst the rubble. The problem is for every 2 people I kill, I am highly likely to die and be pushed back to spawn. It is a very cool map to play as the Commander though with the artillery.

Well that happened to me in the beta, sadly enough I couldn't find a fix for it. You should post it at TW's forum:demolitio said:

It's pretty easy, bring up the tactical display - you will see badges saying attack or defend. These are your objectives, just get into the territory and you will see an indicator on the bottom showing the amount of soldiers each side has in the cap. Once you have a certain number of soldiers (more than the enemy) you start capping. You'll get points even if your territory gets capped when you are defending it.Corky said:I'm gonna be perfectly honest here, I have NO frigging idea what the objectives are about. Things just pop up on my screen and I go "DERP FIRE GUNS THAT WAY PEW PEW". I wish I knew what you're supposed to do though.

i keep getting my ass kicked on that server though him still having a great time. i also have no idea where shots come from everytime i get killed.
of course i keep getting killed in general against people that kno what theyre doing since my line of sight is terrible when it comes to finding where i was shot from or looking for guys to shoot.

OK so just gave the new patch a short try - performance for me is much, much worse than before (X965 + 5850). At least I got my unlocks .
.i'm getting a more consistent performance and 0 ctd's since the new patch, but my experience has been pretty dire tonight. why?
l33t unlocks.
i have zero interest in playing a game which is engineered for the immersive, experiential qualities that ro2 so aspires to, wherein every other soldier is carrying some l33t new experimental superweapon. i'll let the fact slide that the mkb. 42 was never at stalingrad in return for some acknowledgement of just how rare a weapon this should be. give it a special "elite assault" class or something.
avts, svts, gewehr rifles, mkb. 42 rifles....these should all be elite weaponry, deployed to only the very finest players within that play session (how TW originally pitched the "hero" system, whereby the best performing players would be invited to per-session/round elite roles). even the regular assault weaponry should be more specialised in its deployment. tearing through previously tooth-and-nail balanced maps with a squad of assault rifle wielding commandos just feels so fucking wrong.
this was a battle (war, even) fought overwhelmingly by regular infantry armed with bolt action rifles. i feel like tripwire have fallen victim to their own most paranoid thoughts about what needs to be done to assure commercial success, and feel a need to offer up the assault rifle run-n-gun experience for all those who so desire it; to the detriment of authenticity, balance, immersion and idiosyncrasy.
there are a myriad of ways for tripwire to correct this, should they recognise it as a problem. until then, ro2 will only ever live in the shadow of its own greatness.

Has anyone really gotten the hang of adjusting for range as opposed to just aiming high as a rifleman? I still can't quite get a feel for it. Works wonders as a sniper, though.

I'm running a 2500k and 570, both OC'd. I turn a few things off (ambient occlusion, blur, bloom) and turn stuff like shadows down a notch. Runs pretty smooth for me. Think the game is a bit under eight gigs.
You could just wait for the free weekend. Let them hammer out their issues in the meantime.

I've got a new bug after the patch. Mapchange on Server = Game freezes
I need to tab out of the game and close it from the Task Manager.

I'm not playing the 'you guys just suck' card but I'm really not seeing the problem with FallenFighters. I've had some of my best matches there exactly because it really forces you to keep your head down and 'play your role'. I do always play Allies, generally, and abuse the tunnel system on the west side of the map which allows you to capture C and D without popping your head up.
So is this a case of playing on campy servers where people are more concerned with kills than captures, or are those complaining mostly playing Axis and the map is unbalanced?

Has spawning by the squad leader ever worked? Or is it working and I am crazy?

Not working for me. I just spawn at the first spawn point.
All day yesterday I kept thinking how over-powered the weapon was. The semi-auto mode is just as accurate as the semi-auto rifles if not more, and it shoots just as quickly if not faster.ghst said:
I love the gun but I definitely agree it shouldn't be available to the Assault class.
I play mainly on the TacticalGamer server, and join Kentucky Fried Gulasch when that one's full.
Yeah, this is the first thing that has cast a doubt for me about the game when I was facing a team of elite assault rifles yesterday. Meanwhile, I sport a Mosin-Nagant with a bayonet. Doesn't exactly make for balanced gameplay. If Tripwire doesn't officially adress this, I'm sure individual servers will.ghst said:

NBA Elite 11 tryout?
Kind of interested in the game, but how is the team play? Is it more BF or more CoD not just in design, but in terms of how people play the game.

A few big problems with RO2 IMO is that a lot of servers won't show names over your teammate's heads, a lot won't show you where they are, and will hide the kill-list. It makes the game feel very lonely at times.Manos: The Hans of Fate said:
I haven't played a lot yet but my gut feeling is that the teamplay will be much better on the less realistic servers. You do tend to stick with your mates though, let them run first and see from where they get shot.

Well if my BFBC2 experience is any help, I never play on hardcore servers. I understand and appreciate the historical option (one idea would be to limit mic chat to a certain range or muffle/lower the volume based on distance). That said I really don't use chat in BFBC2 that often (and I never use the chat bar), but I would if more did (and I knew I was playing with 12 year olds), so I could deal with a lonely feeling, just not something where I might wind up TK or doing FF by accident.
so any assault class player gets these weapons and there are no further limits on the semi automatic rifles? that's still waaaay too many.Tripwire said:
the forums are being dumped on right now with people baying for the weapons to be limited to 1-2 a side, and harsher limits put on all the more advanced weaponry. tripwire have so far stonewalled the community on this issue, and this "oops, that was a bug, certainly not a misguided design choice" mentality does little to help that.
for all tripwire's admirable qualities, admitting to mistakes is not one of them.
