Tosh_UK Posted April 10, 2003 Share Posted April 10, 2003 you will be owned a lot... BUT keep up with it, try to learn from the players that are owning you. have a look at the vids that you can down load as they will help to. in the end if you keep up with it and learn from the good players instead of slagging them down.. you will be doing the ownage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First, congratulations on getting a fantastic game As far as playing online, if you are interested in becoming proficient with lightsabers (as opposed to guns), I suggest starting out dueling against bots. First, start a game where you are the only player. Get the feel of the different saber styles, and practice all the special moves. Then start at the lowest bot difficulty level with no force powers. Once you can beat them consistently, move on to the next difficulty level. Keep doing this until you can beat the bot on Jedi Master. Once you get the hang of this, repeat the process with Force powers on this time. Once I was able to do this I found that I was reasonably successful in online games. However, there is no substitute for playing other people. Once you can beat bots, playing people is the only way to get better. And don't get frustrated, you'll be able to get the hang of things in no time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Vitruvio Posted April 10, 2003 Share Posted April 10, 2003 This game does kick ass but unfortunately there have been a lot of changes made to gameplay and lightsaber styles since it was first released. A few things you might want to keep in mind if you plan to start multiplayer gaming right away: 1. If you wish to play online, you better get the right patch. Note: If you don't, you'll see nothing in your servers list. 2. Stick with the patch which configurations you prefer best. (1.02, 1.03, or 1.04) Note: Each patch changes the physics of multiplayer and lightsaber combat drastically so be careful to pick the right one. 3. Always turn Auto-downloading on or the server you're trying to connect to might reject you. 4. Keep practicing and don't let anyone discourage you. There are a lot of experienced players out there and a good number of them are too cocky for their own good. Keep playing them no matter what and you'll catch on. 5. Last, but most important, it's just a crazy-ass game! Have fun! Get to know more players, that's what it's all about. Well, there's my nickel on the subject. See you online! My online name is "Vitruvio" in purple lettering. -Vitruvio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadianSurfer Posted April 11, 2003 Share Posted April 11, 2003 Kinda of late to be getting into this game I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime Posted April 11, 2003 Share Posted April 11, 2003 Originally posted by CanadianSurfer Kinda of late to be getting into this game I think. Come on, it's never too late! The game can be picked up pretty quickly, and it doesn't take much to become decent at it. Also, I believe that 1.04 is the most common patch, so I recommend that one (am I incorrect on this?).

Prime Posted April 19, 2003 Share Posted April 19, 2003 You'll have to find out if your card is OpenGL compatible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prime Posted April 20, 2003 Share Posted April 20, 2003 I'm not quite sure what you mean by "it won't load". I'd try asking in the troubleshooting forum. You are more likely to get useful help there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acdcfanbill Posted April 20, 2003 Share Posted April 20, 2003 well, if your gfx card is GeForce2 generation or newer, you can play fine, if you get a cant load opengl error during startup make sure you have the latest drivers for your card. http://www.nvidia.com for geforce realted cards, and for ati, http://www.atitech.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NerfYoda Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 Most likely updated video card drivers will solve your problem. If you're unsure of what kind of video card you have open your display control pannel, hit the settings tab, and look at what it says your "adapter" is.
