Oh what the fuck. Please let me know if you ever get this fixed as me and my brother were thinking of buying two PC copys and doing lan play.Dachande said:Oh for fuck's sake, none of us in our house can play together with the PC version.Three of us have the Steam version, one has a boxed copy.
LAN just doesn't work - none of us can connect to each other except two of us when I host the game. Going through Gamespy in an online game is unreliable and barely anyone can even get to the lobby, which is ridiculous anyway because we're in the same house.
There HAS to be something wrong with the netcode. Ports and port forwarding shouldn't matter in LAN.

It's a bug. It's on the left side of the rock formation, not on the right as pointed on the map. Spent more than 30min in this part alone.
EDIT: Well, I'm assuming that's the one. But I think that the item that I'm describing is the the Sniper Rifle Scope. Well, I hope it helps you. SS would be nice, thought.

Well I don't know where to search since all the pieces I found were at the exact spot.

The green diamonds only point to areas where you should look. Follow the money bag icons when you're in the area, those point directly to all the loot.
This little quirk is quite infuriating in Old Haven.

Back of the round tent in the plain floor. It cost me a couple of minutes to find it, because you can't see it if you're not near enought, because the tent and some garbage hides the green glow.
By the way, the quest progress is a little broken. A lot of times you unlock quests of a certain level after you do a quest that requires 3 or 4 more levels. For example, some easy level 15 quests (very easy to do because you can even use vehicles) that are only unlocked after you complete the Sledge quest (that needs, at least, level 18).

When I found it, it was along the edge of the cliff that connects to the tent. So, face the tent(from the front), and follow that cliff left until you find it in the grass. Took me a while to find, since the waypoint is nowhere near the actual item.DMPrince said:

I'm pretty much 100% convinced now that rocket launchers are garbage in this game. I found one that does 2438 damage per rocket, fires both the rockets in the clip simultaneously, and has 4x incendiary. Mathematically, this thing should be a killing machine. Instead, it's still a piece of crap.
Really? That's better than the one I have and I love mine.BobFromPikeCreek said:
Mine is a spread 500% burst fire x4 incendiary.
501 damage
88.8 accuracy
5.7 fire rate
Holds 5 (11 with Overload + Class mod)
The base damage isn't that great, but the lack of a need to aim + ability to shoot 11 plumes of death in 1 second is great. Plus the damage over time is what you need to look at. Launcher elemental effects are the greatest iirc and the DoT for fire x4 is in the thousands.

Maybe it's because my proficiency is only like 4 or 5? I've just found that if it's not a direct hit the rocket is useless. Splash damage is like nothing in this game.
My proficiency when I got it was 2 :lolBobFromPikeCreek said:
Right now I think it's around 9?
Rakk Hive vs. Launcher

The launcher is very useful to 'one hit' smaller enemies and deal considerable burn damage while I bring out my shotgun pistol. The rockets may only do 3-4k, but the burn seems to do more.
Our group ended up beating the game as all max level, good party. Traded a bit and we had 3 Legendaries lying on the ground before with everyone looking.
Also a Sniper with Trespass for the last level on your 2nd go is so helpful. I can't even imagine how horrible it would of been without one.

Ah man, those mushroom clouds are so cool. How is it that my launcher is more powerful, but doesn't have those wicked mushroom clouds?Hazaro said:

Is there a way to force vsync? It says 30fps but I get tearing in the cutscenes which is really annoying.
Edit: Nvm, found it in ini file.

Aside from the fact that it HEATS UP LIKE A MOTHERFUCKER (i have two extra fans pointing at it, one to send cool air to the videocard's fan, and another to expel the hot air the videocard blows inside the case), this 2,5 years old videocard is a BEAST. It behaves the same as a 5850 from ATI (at least in Borderlands). Best purchase ever.

can any of the PS3 version owners angry about framerates comment on what the game is like after patching?
my co-worker owns the PS3 version and says he's yet to see any tearing of framerate drops. he's a 3D animation instructor too, so he's always noticing little things about games like this that i never notice.

I wish you could skip stuff... Load up and unskipable scenes when starting a new game are infuriating.
I've been playing LAN with my brother, works flawlessly.rhfb said:
We've been rather lucky actually, neither me nor my brother have run into any problems with the game, across LAN, online, and offline. No performance issues, everything installed fine, I'm on Windows 7 & ATI GPU, he's on XP & Nvidia GPU, and everything is going great.

I've seen people with the mushroom clouds before, so it's not a console issue. My launcher is just shitty I guess. I just get a puff of fire not much bigger than the incendiary rounds from my sniper.Hazaro said:

It's next to where the claptrap was.
Sniper elemental effects charge between shots. Chances are if you reload and wait a few seconds you get a big cloud right? Also a lot more damage.BobFromPikeCreek said:I've seen people with the mushroom clouds before, so it's not a console issue. My launcher is just shitty I guess.

I love Double Anarchy SMGs. They just tear things up no matter what they are.
