wich scenerios are playable? bugs or OOB

[Grotius]

I have no problem playing the big scenarios on either my laptop (P3/1.5GHz or so) or my desktop (P4/3G). The laptop is a titch slower, but it still runs smooth as silk. My sense is that this game runs smoothly for the overwhelming majority of users.

I wonder why people always think that it's their CPU which crashes the game. This is usually NEVER the case.

And by the way, everytime I had to look at one of my friends' puter it (he claiming that the software is buggy, crappy etc...) turned out to be one of those retail computers which were badly maintained in regards to drivers. Most guys have never heard of chipset drivers at all.

Funny thread to read.

We get one post where the poster loudly proclaims zero problems, then goes on to describe a problem he had when he ALT-TAB too often or at the wrong time. Seems like a Windows program should be able to handle that.

Another post where someone proclaims there are no bugs in the scenarios, but then goes on to say there are problems in the OOB for 9 and 13 which apparently make those completely unplayable without a patch (no fuel?). Sounds like a rather Clintonesque definition of "bugs" is being used here.

Amazing how in this forum the game is always perfect and nothing else should ever be written, even when the poster then goes on to describe the ways the game is less than perfect.

Nice to see nothing's changed since UV.

ALT-TABing out and in is NOT supported in WitP. It is not the only program that does not support it. The one time I had problems was when I did an ALT-TAB while the turn was processing. It is not a good idea to alt tab in any program when it is doing extensive processing. The results are very unpredictable.

machine too slow?

thats a good joke.

a new installed machine with latest drivers, which is able to run new ego shooters is too slow for a 2D strategy game?

thats too easy to blame the customers when the developers can not release a buggy game.

Oh, Bull! I'm running just fine on an older machine (500 Mhz PIII) than any mentioned with a smaller sound board. No problems, and I have about 20 Gigs of programs on the system besides. Get a qualified operator to man your circuits and see what's gumming up your machine. And quit flaming. There is no need for it.

the big scenarios are not playable because of crappy programming skill.

even with a highend machine, there is a unacceptable delay and "lag" when you close some windows or give orders to TF, AG, ground units...

only the smaller campains are playable but i would say that you should let your fingers from the huge scenarios until matrix can fix its bugged software.

bye

Wow, now that's brutal......Thanks.....for nothing.....

I remember a thread from a few weeks ago (can't find the thread) that there are some scenerios wich are not advisable to play because of a large amount of bugs that makes it very hard to play.

We're about to start a pbem game and we'd like to play a later scenerio. Wich of these are the ones that are playable and wich are not?

Thanks for your help!! [:)]

One answer. Play Lemur #26. If you can wait a few more days he has a significant update for that. Beats the absolute hell out of the "official" scenarios......

Just to correct your little rant -

By my definition, OOB errors are not "bugs". They do not require code changes to fix.

The initial clarification was made only for the benefit of the original poster as I did not know the "bugs" he was referring to but since he was asking about playability.......

Now would you guys who aren't actually reporting a problem please take your soap boxes to the general forum where they are supposed to be.

Thanks

Zoomie thanks for the heads up! I'll look for it when it comes out
