    Quite so, even though the ability to record is known about by a few it was (the ability to play replays as from the release of CBT) removed as an option. This does not mean they will not be introduced any time soon™ so keep your eyes open for any updates regarding possible re-introduction.

    Sound Tearing horribly

    Hi Komandir, I agree that they should offer both SD & HD audio options to allow for less capable sound chips to at least offer a reasonable degree of audio. My onboard sound is SoundMax but found it poor in some areas so bought an Asus Xonar which although cheap solved all my audio woes. Will check settings files later to see if there are any 'hidden' options that will help you all.

    Remove the cap system...

    Having a domination/cap mode is a must due to time limitations of the game. Instead of trying to adapt the game to suit the players you need to educate the players to adapt to the game. The problem no matter which way you try to go there will always be players who 'go against the grain' no matter what. Without giving anything away at this moment in time just be aware that all aspects of the game are being tested, so watch this space........

    Daily missions.

    Well who knows? They introduced 'missions' into WoWp and they were a complete flop as they were just not implemented with enough due thought. For instance, shoot down 3 planes in tiers 8 to 10, kinda sucks when you have only got as far as tier 5 for instance! Hopefully they will get revamped with time limits before being updated with new missions, and then there are the Piasters...........

    Have not witnessed this but will test later to confirm. Do you have replays enabled?

    BB players are killing this game

    Pointing at the highlighted text, this was a Co-op battle then. You will find that AI unfortunately (as good as it is right now), do not employ good tactics nor target players in the same way a human player would as I can assure you that you would not have had as much success in Random. This is not decrying your efforts but the outcome would definitely been a little different.

    Game not working

    Hello Felix, You posted exactly the same message in the World of Warplanes forum here, which game are you having issues with? I know you say 'hanger' but do you mean 'port for WoWs? Regards, Duca

    Spawn Divisions together?

    Just love it when we are on TS, where are you? wherefore art thou Romeo? Across the ocean it seems......... So yes, this would be a good implementation.

    Sound Tearing horribly

    Thinking back to some 'super testing' we were doing a while ago and we had a battle full of carriers with all aircraft up in the air and it was then I suffered this 'tearing' but that was at an extreme. I have all settings maxxed out but as this was the only time I have ever experienced this my only advice would be to tweak the in game audio settings. I am at work at the moment but will try to delve deeper later to see how we can help with any advice that comes to hand. Shame as the audio quality is superb and that is probably the issue, it is too good!

    Sound Tearing horribly

    Guys, to help please post your audio chip/card specs as this will help in diagnosing your issues or at least work on a solution. I have a sneaky feeling this affects onboard sound rather than a dedicated audio card solution but with your input we can start to eliminate this problem.
  12. NAVAL enthusiasts in Droxford (South Hampshire) can learn how a local First World War hero turned the tide against the Germans at a talk next month. Kit Power will explore how Vice Admiral Sir Frederick Sturdee turned a navy defeat at Coronel into a Falklands victory in the war’s early sea battles, annihilating German warships. The talk, at Droxford Village Hall on Thursday, April 16, will be followed by a 1927 film of the conflicts. Doors open for drinks at 6pm ahead of the talk at 6.30pm. Tickets can be bought for £10 at Droxford Post Office or by calling Michael Profit on 01489 877452. Note: I have no association to this event but am merely forwarding details for those that may be near and want to attend.

    no cap, kill all

    Absolutely not. Capping is a strategy that BOTH teams can apply to the battle, that means you have to think and be alert. Correct, we are testing, but testing the game as it would be as a released game so that makes capping legitimate. Destroy all or dominate, simple. This.

    Beta Testers - We NEED you! (Yes, again!)

    I was intrigued so thankfully with Training Battles still enabled went to test this properly and got as good a shot as you can of the clipping;

    Co-Op Matchmaking: A total mess!

    As already stated these are early days and it will only get better with Co-op. That saying I would rather see a token CV and BB in the stock line up even though no player has one in the ally team. Co-op has presented itself as the perfect learning ground as the stock AI bots are more accurate than new players so you will learn to be evasive. Also, the battles will not count against the battles you have been in so win or lose you will gain XP and credits (albeit at 50% of Random) so all to gain and nothing to lose. The waiting time is 1 minute 30 seconds (less if a full team is available) for a Co-op battle and unless the ally team is full the remaining slots will be filled with AI bots.

    Sound Tearing horribly

    As already mentioned it could revolve around the Nvidia drivers (I have Nvidia but do not have this issue). But, I believe it surrounds onboard audio chips more so as since I upgraded my audio to a dedicated Asus Xonar card the sound is absolutely stunning in all its effects. If you do have the opportunity to upgrade to a dedicated audio card such as mine (it really is cheap) it will help you with the game and also improve the quality of audio in any other game you may play. I do appreciate it is extra expense but as gamers we do tend to love our PC's more and spend more on them! For those that are having issues still it would help if you could post specs, graphics and audio etc.

    Toxic Behaviour

    Think guys, what is toxic is this thread! We all know it is here,even WG. What we need to do is manage it in game, just never rise to the troll! Well, the game has progressed far from the pure testing stage and winning a battle is a target we all need to strive to do. THAT is what WG are wanting us to do, not cruising and not putting some degree of effort into the battle. Testing is now happening behind the scenes and real time game testing (ie playing as it was the end product) is down to you guys. We need you to go for it, please!

    Custom Forum Signatures - from the log in movie

    Hello, If you want a customised version please PM me with exact details. As for which version choose from 1 to 4 (as per post #11) (ignore the text as I have them all plain). Regards, Duca PS Please understand due to work getting in the way of this great game there may be a little delay in getting back to you with a finished signature.

    Mahan OP

    Remember only Alpha testers can access that thread. Yes, you can record and create replays but in the current build there is no option to play them back but the next update will reinstate this. Soon™

    Map builder

    Actually there is mileage to your suggestion. As an ex map and model builder (Unreal Tournament to UT2004, Deus Ex) I would love to get my design head on again but I honestly think that they would never release the engine to work on. Nice thought never the less.
  24. Shep has already replied that it is a known problem but to reiterate issues you may experience; When going from 'normal' view to rangefinder ships appear to 'jerk' until synchronization has caught up. When going from 'normal' view to rangefinder ships gunfire appears to come from either in front or behind the ship. It can be frustrating at times but please be patient as the bugs we encounter (such as this) are being worked on and I am sure there will be a fix soon™
