Red Orchestra 2 Beta is Now Available on Steam
- Thread starter sk3tch
- Start date
Holy shit are these new maps fun. These are the ones I've been waiting for because they're big and have plenty of places you have to look out for. These maps make me love playing as CO since I can bust out my binoculars and see the other side of the map where the enemies are stationed yet I'm too far for them to really see, so I get to call in some artillery with very few problems except for this pesky marksman who kept shooting me in the nuts. 30 seconds later, that same guy is blown to bits by my mortar strike I called in on him along with 3 other guys who joined him.
A few of these maps are the ones that make this game feel like a battle. It's not a small house-to-house fighting map but more of a wide open battle where enemies could be hiding all over including pretty tall buildings riddles with riflemen. Absolutely brilliant.
Also, I just joined a friend's game as soon as I found out about the patch and then I heard there was some performance fixes that had me excited. I get in the game and have 30-50 FPS with the usual FPS drop when artillery hits so I'm thinking not a whole lot has changed. Then I go into the options and realize it defaulted me to all high with everything on including max AA which had me laughing quite a bit since I was getting the same FPS that match as I was before the patch with medium-high settings. I tweaked it a little bit more and now it runs a lot better, but there's still some inconsistencies where some areas on some maps kill FPS and artillery is more like a support weapon that causes stuttering for the enemies nearby.
I'm now more in love...

What blows my mind is how much detail is put into all these maps. Nothing feels duplicated and there are SO MANY places you can go to in a level. Even places where players will never need to go are modeled and included whereas in other games it would just be blocked so you can't get there.
I am still discovering new places in every level and I have been playing this game for like 60 hours now.

$50
How much for those who own the first? I definitely remember it being cheaper than that.

$40. If Green Man Gaming still has one of those coupons going, you can get it for about $32 there.Zaraki_Kenpachi said:

Looks like I fixed the crashing issue I was having. The game is so much fun. The gun play feels fantastic, taking out people from far away with a bolt-action rifle feels so rewarding. The cover system can be useful at times but is still very buggy.
Holy hell, just got hit with the entire plethora of issues caused by the last upgrade. First my game crashes on startup which resets all of my settings. Then I keep double-clicking on servers and end up on completely different servers and every server I join is laggy as heeeell due to punkbuster.
However I was getting annoyed for a second, every time I turned I would get massive 20fps+ drop and it was worse with more complex stuff in view. First I thought I had finally found a detailed map my rig couldn't handle on Ultra settings ... Then I remembered this is how every game acted back when I had my 5970 and I enabled MLAA. Sure enough, I accidentally set it to MLAA Ultra and that just killed my FPS -- Terrible crap. Back to FXAA high with smoother edges and steady 60. However most of the new maps will drag it down to around 50 in the big wide areas with smoke.

THANK YOU TW!Dmented said:
Played for an hour or so today, i can't fault the gameplay. The atmosphere and tension in seeing someone run across your path is unknown to any other game I've ever played.
Its only downfall at the moment is random crashing and I had to re-open the game to see a sever list. I would say I'm not too bothered because its in Beta at the minute but with the actual release of the game less than a week away... Anyway its not like that stuff cant be fixed in patches so hopefully Itl work out.
Hope to see some of you on there.

Is it bad that I select the AT rifle even if there's no tank in use on the other side? I use it like it's a .50 cal and go for the guys that think they're safe behind cover. There was Russian who was 200m away from me perched up in the top of a building and he walked up to a window where I could only see a gun and then he walked further so I figured I'd try to find him through the wall and I took one shot where I thought he might have been after walking away and all of a sudden I see some blood mist explode and come out the window. How can you top that feeling in this game!?!?
These maps are the most fun I've had with the game given their larger sizes.

I know, but the AT rifle can penetrate more walls at insane ranges which makes it a lot easier to get those guys behind walls. I've done it plenty of times with the bolt action, but some of the AT rifle kills I've had were even through multiple walls where one guy even said I was hacking, lol. The MG's are a lot of fun to kill through walls since you can just spray into the building even after you lost sight of the guy. I killed 4 people with one good spray through the walls with it.Arucardo said:
This game definitely has the best ballistic out there while most other games have fake ballistics just to use it as a point in a PR presentation.
Kind Mr. Shagg has informed me that VE3D is giving away RO2 beta keys on their site and twitter/facebook right now so anyone wanting to try it could try and grab a key!

Two things that annoy the piss out of me every single game is the bandage system. If you're near a wall, which I am 98% of the time I get injured, the cover system overrules the bandage system - So I end up bouncing in and out of cover mode after the game flashes "Press V to bandage" and I'm just slowly dying. Makes me rage so hard.
And secondly, I sometime browse different classes based on where we are, CQB, open area etc. so while I'm browsing I might spawn in the background completely unbeknownst to me, then I pick the new class and get hit with a suicide and minus points -- Fuck off. Just give me the new class NEXT TIME I DIE when I'm alive, don't fucking kill me.

So this is the buggiest build for me yet. Constant CTD, sometimes servers show up, sometimes not, joining a populated server in the server browser only to find that I'm the only one there, etc.
Would love to check the maps out seemed cool from the little I did play.
Also, why do my video settings not save any more? Tried deleting all the inis etc. They simply reset to high, whatever I do.

Alright. Dilemma time. demolitio told me what to do but I lost track and forgot.
Here's my experience:
Ultra settings: 25fps
High settings: 25fps
Medium settings: 25fps
Low settings: 25fps
What the hell should I do to change it?
6950 btw.

Make sure framerate smoothing isn't checked but the most important thing is to make sure "one frame thread lag" is checked because it doubles your FPS basically.shagg_187 said:
Also, remember to type "umbra culling" in the console when you're on a server. It's good if you need the FPS boost. It basically tells the game not to render shadows of objects not in view of the player at all. So a building that's behind another building that's completely out of sight won't render its shadows until you see it. This is how I came to understand it.
Other than that, I'm not sure without going through each individual setting and deciding which is needed on ultra or high and which isn't worth the framerate drop like ambient occlusion. They say ultra is pretty demanding for this game but people have been able to do that with good computers or by turning down the post processing instead.
Others have some more input as well I'm sure.
This dude was running through some building bayoneting people and I saw him so he started running towards me. I aimed down my irons with my ppsh and started firing bursts. He ran probably 2 seconds towards me and then hid to the right of this doorway. He then ran into the room I was at and I started shooting again but he then bayoneted me and he took no damage from my shots as he continued bayoneting people through the building. I told him how I was shooting at him and he said I wasnt I was just startled and did nothing.
Its like im playing call of duty. Knife always wins against bullets. There is no way this game will be fixed for the 13th.

I'll keep an eye out for you if I see any other places. I was actually going to try grabbing one today for a friend but realized it's pointless since it's a key you have to redeem right away and I don't think I could do it on my account since I already have it. Not sure if gifting would have worked I guess.Tesseract said:
got a beta key and this games pretty fun..when im playing the mode with a minimap lol.
tried i think realism or whatever the completely hudless setting was and i was completely lost.
definitely think i'll get this down the line since i already got dead island and im already getting gears 3 so there goes my game spending for the month.

Why didn't I check this thread yesterday?!?!? WHY??!?!?!demolitio said:
Since the Tripwire forums are down for a bit I might as well ask this here too, are any gaffers affected by the ironsights glitch? there's some weird graphical error where you can get two sights on bolt action rifles when looking in certain directions or a wide enough sight that you can't even aim properly (on elite rifleman rifles). I'm guessing it's a shader problem or something, but changing any of the video options didn't help.

Are there any servers that GAF visits specifically? I see shit loads of servers with 20 or 30 or 40 players. When you join, it's all bullshit and there is one bot sitting there waiting to suck you.
