Jeff Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Boy..that is sure a lot of things to change 2 days after release... I GUESS THEY JUST NEVER FINISHED THE FRIKKIN GAME AND ARE FINISHING IT NOW!!!!!! OK, I think everybody now knows your opinion on the game, as you have posted messages like this elsewhere... Posting constructive criticism is fine, but post like "TEH GAME ISNT FINISSHED OH NOES!", or the one above, do not contribute to discussion.

Demiurge13 Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 hmm i still have a problem though. when i try to select a different side in a mp, I can't. If I want to switch from empire to rebs, it just switches back to empire. I have no idea why it does this or how to fix it. Anybody have any ideas?

Nakatomi2010 Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Most of that list is a carryover from 1.1 though, so it doesn't NEED to be that long.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DarthMaulUK Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Very strange. Mine all worked fine for me.Although I can only see 3 people in the General chat lobby! I'm still getting account problems, but thats 'dont know how to review games properly' IGN/Gamespy. Try rebooting after installing the patch. Failing that, un-install then reinstall again. A pain but, you just never know DMUK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athanasios Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 I believe that every MP issue plus other micro-bugs will be fully resolved until next week. The release date was rushed (obviously). Remember that they were to add +1 week to the initial release date, but they grab it back....why? (hint: Lucasarts...) So, everyone calm down and wait a week or so. Stick with the single player, learn the basic things, elaborate a little on them and then jump to hyperspace speed Also, mind that Petro are working on the SEGA game meanwhile, so, they're really running...appreciate this. **********edit: Are the patches independant? Or we need the 1.1 to install the 1.2? I ask this because 1.2 is the same size as 1.1, plus the 1.2 states as "min. requirements" NA. **********re-edit: Answer the edit 1 please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
