Proto Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 I was serching for a topic covering this but seing none I decided to start a new one. Is it just me or the test mens that guys at Pandemic are rewriting PC net code? If so it wold be the most essential update this game could ever get. In further perspective we could get FPS cap removed, linux server binaries with remote console and hanful of new admin commands. What do you thing, perhaps I'm too much of an optimist .

Guest Jed Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 Glad somebody posted something about it. Discuss, people! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-8252 Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 They're rewriting the multiplayer code months after the game's release? Why didn't they just push the release date back so they could have actually finished SWBF instead of rushing out this beta they call the finished product?

Fds Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 Probably because it should be dedicated to a future swbII... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindsey Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 I signed up for it. Since we have chats with the devs maybe I can knock some sense into them ....like adding in the spectator mode No....I never give up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LightNinja Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 Originally posted by Fds Probably because it should be dedicated to a future swbII... i would kill pandemic guys if they do that, i spent my money buying swbf and i played just 1 week and i could have bought HL2 instead of this game. So i hope they do an update that makes swbf more 'playable' than how its now :mad: :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whoopknacker Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 My guess is that they wrote the net code for the Xbox and PS2 and not enough for the PC. I dunno Im not an expert but they obviously are aware of the situation and they likely want to have a fix before Star Wars EpIII comes out and brings in more players.

Why didn't they just push the release date back so they could have actually finished SWBF instead of rushing out this beta they call the finished product? Because, if they would have done so, we were still waiting the game to bo released! I like it as is now, with a minor improvements to do, but i'm fully satisfied of it and i'm glad that they released the game in time. At least, they are releasing patches and giving support to us. For the mp test, i wonder if it can be related to an esxpansion pack... and what kind of presence is required in the servers, to the testers.

Proto Posted March 8, 2005 Author Share Posted March 8, 2005 Well, I applied before I started this thread, but apparently was't so lucky to participate . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stryker412 Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 Try again. My friend also applied but never heard anything, yet I'm getting him in. Even the dev tried to find his app and couldn't. Maybe some got lost somehow? Try applying again, as we've been told we need more people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
