In the new CTF map the geo deformations seem to be limited to only 30 or so. And there's a ton of stuff to destroy. So basically stuff ceases to be destroyable only a few minutes into every match you play. Also the massive slowdowns at certain locations haven't improved in my opinion. And I have a fast system. But just based on the single player demo I'm definitely getting this game.

Well, it tweaks a few things, like saying "You killed xxx" instead of the global announcement, adds a timer, and seems to help the occasional horrible framerate issue, a bit, but they still have a ways to go before it actually runs good all the time. BTW it runs fine on Win2K, but it did before the patch, so if you're having problems boobie, I'm running SP2 and the "game compatibility patch" if that helps.

yes haha. I knew it was wise to keep this on my hard drive. Hopefully they figured out what was making the CTF level lag so extremely graphics wise in certain spots even if you have a fast system and a broadband connection.

From the MOTD for the demo.

The 1.10 update is an 8.1 MB download. It requires approx.
100 MB free space to apply.

WTF!?
