Serious Sam Multiplayer Demo

whatta buggy piece of shit
its crashed all the 6 times i bothered to try this demo. i have a radeon card.....anyone else that has one have this prob???
from what ive been readin here it seems promising, but i think they should get theyre act together and release a more stable build
too many ppl are having problems....i know its a compatibility test, butthis is ridiculus.

and why gamespy arcade? wtf???

V3 3000. The occasional neon blobs were in the old test and I told Croteam about that. The "blank" textures are new though. I'm gonna try the latest drivers but 3dfxgamers was down earlier =/.

I suppose this post translates to: bitch at me because I don't have a 1337 graphics card like everyone else...

How would Serious Sam run on my V5 I got for free? Better than paying my $250 for a gf2. I'd get it instead of a v5 for being $50 extra if I didn't get my v5 for free.

If I had a faster connection, I would download this demo.

Graphics are buggy as fuck for me....flat colour textures on pillars and weapons, random neon colour brushes (these were in the first test too). The control bugs have mercifully being fixed and it runs quicker but it's not a good trade off when loads more glitches creep in =/.

My mouse feels laggy in this game. I tried enabling and disabling mouse acceleration in Windows and adjusting sensitivity but to no avail. UT feels the same way; and it keeps me from playing it much. Any ideas? Using Windows 2000/intellimoose with latest drivers, DX8, and SP1. Other games don't do that...

Alright this is a pretty serious problem that I didn't feel like playing with last night but I guess I wanna play this demo so I should deal with it this morning.

When I go to exit, it just sits there at that exit screen that says "you've been playing serious sam test 2 yadda yadda" and it just sits there. If I click my mouse or hit a keyboard button it freezes and I have to restart my whole computer. (even after ctrl + alt + deleting out, my mouse will not respond)

Thinkin maybe I'll have to shoot an email off to those email addresses on that page hehe :)

Runs great in 2048x1536 in four player split screen for me, no bugs, no slowdowns. Its stable.

Just wanted you to know.

anyone who has network problems do this;

the config file is located in "Serious Sam Test 2\Scripts" and is called "Game_startup.scr" Just edit it with notepad. There are some differences though. DO NOT precede your commands with "/" and DO end them with ";" For example

cli_bAutoAdjustSettings=0;
cli_bPrediction=1;
cli_iBufferActions=3;
cli_iMinBPS=2000;
hud_bShowNetGraph=1;
hud_bShowLatency=1;

That should hopefully fix it for you. If you see lots of yellow and blue lines on netgraph, increase cli_iBufferActions (in increments of 1). If your movement is just sluggish but no blue and yellow lines, decrease it. And increasing cli_iMinBPS will help with packet loss (those annoying missing sequence errors).

OT: does anyone have a Sound Blaster Live sound card?
Has anyone downloaded the Creative Play Center 2? What a bunch of bullshit...advertisements and like 3 other programs that run when you launch it that do god knows what...fuck that...I uninstalled it, even if it does somehow sound REALLY GOOD <---- maybe that's just my imagination...why should it sound any better than winamp? :( :(

Wow. Shit. I'm very, very impressed. I spent the last two hours killing everything in sight, and I loved every second of it! Mowdown, baby!

This game is fun as hell, which very few games on the market any more can claim. It may be the best single player action game going for sheer visceral thrills.

There's also a fun degenerate sense of humor. (Yes, everyone in the Balkans is a little bit crazy after the past ruinous decade, but still: crazy-good isn't easy to pull off.) All these headless guys. The screaming suicide bombers. The text describing the scorpion-priests, warning you that they're extra vicious because of their "religious" leanings. An enemy organization called "Mental." Heh, delicious. And all the cool little touches, like werebulls butting you into the air. One minute you're Rambo; the next you're a bloody matador.

I'll buy it. Haven't had a go at multi yet, but I'm sold. There is so much imagination oozing out of this evil little game that it can easily go up against the so-called major offerings this or any season, and kick the whole lot's ass. It's also a damn good sign for the indusry as a whole, because it says if you have talent, ideas, and discipline, you don't need a pile of money behind you to make a great game -- in fact, it may help (*cough*Daikatanna*cough*) if you don't have a pile of money behind you. There's something about being hungry for success versus being rich, comfortable, and recycling your past over and over... This game makes you curious as hell about what surprises may be in store from those other small studios doing FPS games (Starbreeze, 4DRulers, to name but two.) Bravo, Croteam.

WTF I CAN NOT JOIN ANY SERVERSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! alwyas says oneection unstable for every fucking server and i ping 60 to it!

ahh this chick "i'm painting my toenails bright red"

she has found my fetish!

ok this is rediculous

26 servers and i ping over 200 to everyone of them, and that 200-300 feels like about 600

jesus christ

oh yeah and i still can seem to chat with other players

So is the multiplayer test worth the hype?

Thanks!

To be exact:

Options/Execute Addon/ Load NET: quality modem connection

To those having problems with netplay, go into options then to excute addon. Then load up the last NET modem option.

This fixed all my problems, net play is smooth. (cable)

so does anyone know how to tweek the network settings, i dont see any options at all to tweek network setting and all teh games i played wer laggy ass

not to mention i couldnt figure out how to chat with anyone

I'm setting up a server for any Australian's who want to try it out.
It'll be co op mode....
just look for a server called "Australian Co-Op Server"
If no one joins i'll take it down after an hour or so :-/

Shit, shit, shit. This game is tons o fun!

When it works.

Still, bought team arena tonight..and I've been playing sam all night instead.

Hmmmm...

I also think that tommygun seems so out of place in this game. I liked the other chaingun model and sounds much better. Heh, and the best thing they could come up for him to say was "Yeah Baby!". Didn't they have a contest for what Sam would say in this game? and "yeah Baby" was the winner? ;)

yay! anyway, Anyone notice that this demo's sound quality is worse than the first test demo? The explosions are alot less Boomie

testing...

I'm dowloading it now, so how is it???

FUCK YOU FILE PLANET!!! YOU FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT!!

IS there an australian mirror out there ?

oh god this is so lame, gamespy arcade crashes whenever i start up so i cant play SS

this is fucking stupid shit

If GS Arcade is running, my serious sam won't run
and if i try putting an ip manually in the game it gives me a socket error.

Suggestions?

Seriously (ick), its an honorable effort by a bunch of rookies out of Croatia, but I just cant imagine playing an entire single player game of this. By the end of the single player test I was already like 'yadayadayada'. And deathmatch/multiplayer? Theres nothing there to pull me away from Quake3/RA3/TFC (or UT/Tribes if I played them).

anybody started up a shack server yet?
