soon to have more players than ql

WARSOW
A
R
S
O
W

Achieved more than id with QL in that matter :D

People will come in, play one, maybe two games, get raped and leave. In the end, less than a 100 players will stay.

So the playerbase will be doubled!

Way more than doubled lol

not a fan of warsow, but i'm happy for the team/fans.
nice to see grassroots fps getting support.
hopefully, we'll see more competitive fps games on steam in the future(cough pmx cough)

PMX is dead.

Something is being built from it's ashes though.

source? or are you 'Newborn'?

What's pmx?

Standalone CPMA, based on Q3 source (Open Source) and custom made assets. It was intended to be free. Never happened, IIRC because one of the main guys went to help al QL's development.

i dont believe you.

awesome news.

let's hope wsw will get big one day :>

yey

can someone major this?

We might as well wait until it's actually out on Steam first.

Cool, it's taken a while but it's great they finally got it.

Vote for fortress forever also, I think they're pretty close to getting it:

That'd be awesome. I really hope this gets Greenlit too.

Good for them. I wonder what steam has to gain out of this though. Financially. Will Warsow not be F2P anymore? Or will it have micro-transactions?

I can't imagine it puts any financial burden on valve. In their eyes, having more people using the platform for whatever reason can only be a good thing. When you start up steam, it shows you the current promotional deals on steam.

wsw > ql

we gonna play it or what

added u on skype like half year ago, u didnt accept or smth asshole :<

you're still on the list. haven't seen you online for a year tho.

weird, i sent u a message, did you got it?

nope, imsg your contact again. you prolly gave me some fake one last time.

Congratulations to the WSW team!

Long way have been done since : http://www.esreality.com/?a=post&id=784540

=)

GG to devs, and ofc gg to all warsowians who provided a major help. We couldn't have better ambassadors than you <3

Long way since infinite wall jumps and qfusion making leaps and bounds in terms of performance! :)

Now we just need a QL ruleset and everything will be set!

Then you would actually need QL maps in WSW, the maps that are there won't work with QL ruleset I'ma afraid.

Nothings stopping you from using ztn,hub,dm13 etc..
They are all freely available in seperate packages.

Only thing stopping people is excuses. :)

Inability to run the game correctly is stopping me :).

Just downloaded it on both my laptop and my linux stationary.
No issues here.

Well duh. I wouldn't expect my bad hardware to influence how well you can run the game.

Im just a bit confused, you can play quakelive but you cant play warsow?
What hardware do you even have?

Reason why i am asking is because it runs well on my asus ul30vt using the intel gpu. Cant get much crappier then that.

intel 4 series family chipset
(with a core 2 duo)

I can't run QL very well either, mind you. But it's better than the 20ish FPS I had on Warsow.

still a bunch faster then the one i have.
Try playing around with settings and you should be able to get alot better fps.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but your graphic controller should then be the Intel GMA 4500MHD. Mine was listed as a GMA 4500M ("Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family" in Windows' device manager). At best, it's the same thing... not "a bunch faster". I should add that your laptop seems to use DDR3 RAM while mine has DDR2, which could have an impact on such chipset without dedicated memory.

I know I was playing with the lowest settings I could set form the GUI (apart maybe from the resolution). No idea about what could be available on console only. I was also unable to play fullscreen for some reason.

But anyway I'm not interested in downloading it again and fixing that stuff only to not play afterwards.

I have no problems running QL @80-100fps on my IBM T42 (1.8Ghz Pentium M, ATI Radeon 9600 64MB, 1.5GB DDR). You're doing something wrong.

Gratz. I run QL on 80-100 fps on some maps too.

"I can't run QL very well either"

If you're running WSW on 20fps, you're doing something wrong.

Cant remember the last time i put that computer through tests but i do remember the ddr3 being equal to ddr2 equivilent.
Will have to sit down and do some benchmarks again tho :)

As for a bunch faster, i specificially meant your cpu as it does play a part in performance.

My best bet is that your running old drivers, though i doubt it.
What os are you on atm?

Did you try the "low" profile config?

exec profiles/low

Pretty much what I have, I can only get like 25-40 fps in wsw max.

Really wish they would come out with a matchmaking system before releasing on steam. People are going to play one game and get wrecked 40-0 and never play again, just like every other dm game.

How to match make when you can barely find 1 server per gametype with people on?

Matchmaking would be pointless with the current player base, but the point is that there will soon be a whole lot of new people trying it out. Best to match the newbs with other newbs.

Hooray! \o/

dev team should stop working on features and just start making hats, we'll have a few thousand extra players in no time

Sad but true :(

Does anyone know what being greenlight entails apart from being released on steam?

It gets released on STEAM if valve and the devs come to an agreement on how the game should be published. When the game is greenlit, valve contact the devs and hopefully the game gets on STEAM.

> so it is now on Steam!
No, it is not.








Yet.

You're right, my apologies. Got Greenlit, but it is technically not available on Steam yet.

According to the Warsow forums they have been approached by Valve though, and need to fill out some forms and paperwork before proceeding.

i saw a total of 8 players online in the server browser.

When I played warsow half of the players told me they got it from GoG and play it for the first time.

Took a while

They need to get rid of the new menu / browser immediately. It's killed / killing the playerbase.

You can't sort or filter any servers by anything anymore, not even ping. The only option is a button to see instagib servers, which probably deters a good number of new players that wouldn't know to click it. It's also buggy and doesn't work on lower resolutions. Crizis pretty much admitted to me that it was not fixable and that they spent too much time and money working on it to scrap it.

Changing major elements of the game on a whim like removing weak/strong ammo probably doesn't help either.

Ya I liked the strong/weak ammo concept back when I played in .13 and .2. The game changed radically around .3 though and I stopped playing (15 seconds before armors/mh spawn at the start of a match wtf?).

I love that delay at the beginning of a game!

it's actually a good way to compensate for bad initial spawn locations *cough* dm6 *cough*

At the cost of having an incredibly stale first minute. Spawn, go for the nearest lg/rl, maybe skirmish a bit, one player goes for mega, other player goes for ra. I'd rather have a bad initial spawn on some maps than that.

Yeah the new UI is awful. They tried too hard to make it work. You are pretty much forced to use a third party server browser.

1.03 fixed the sorting issues that you mention plus also improved performance of the UI in general.

Best regards,
Vic

The menus put me off the game more than the gameplay.

Quake is prettier ;<

You're pretty.

oh, you

The bigest problem with wsw is the horide sound effects.

Agreed. Everyone knows they suck, they just need someone to make new ones.

what? I love the sound effects, especially the rockets, lg (whatever wsw's lg is called), and grenades (that low THUMP is ear sex).

This is nice o hear, hope it all works out well.

guys what if warsow gets more players than ql? then we can all die a bit inside

I've organized BBQs with more people than all warsow's players. It is never going to happen.

but steaaaaam!!

there's so many games on steam nowdays.. Warsow will be like a tree trunk falling in a forrest

Steam will at least bring 10x more players than the current playerbase, no matter it is only greenlight on steam. The problem is how much time they will stay, and from we have seen multiple times before they will leave after two weeks tops.

What warsow's promoters (the 5 of them) don't realize is people don't like warsow. Not the casuals, not the hardcore. This could be on CNN and it will still be dead.

whats your deal with warsow? if you hate it so much then shut the fuck up and dont brag about it

It wouldn't be the first F2P game to fail on steam.

thats one of the reason QL should be present in there. As far as I know there was a few F2P games listed in there as well right?

first tab when browsing games is "Free to Play", so yeah =PPPPP

yay

I think when warsow is added to F2P steam games the arena fps population will jump up a lot.

super good thing here

for a little bit, won't last very long but at least it'll have more players

this deserves a big tounrie hosted/casted by Jehar. I could also go for some more Jehar
