not only on performance, but we also need people to test DX7 playability, too. having everyone run shit hot computers in DX9 is just no good. in fact, i think a fair majority of the devs and current testers run DX9.

Hello everyone,

I managed to apply for your beta with no problems. I hope to work with the mod that I have been watching since day one.

I still play everything hl2 related in dx7, including dod and css, not really for the frame rate but because with some things its easier to see whats happening when the textures and graphics are poor . Also, for the people that are having a hard time getting their steam ID with status not working in the console or what not, find your steam.log in your steam directory, (i.e, c:\games\steam\steam.log, you should have one if you have played a game at least once) and go down a few lines to where it says ConnectionPool, at the end of the ConnectionPool line, it'll say something like "Did not find an existing connection, attempting new connection 0,69.28.135.83:27030 for 0:0:12345" The 0:0:12345 or whatever yours is is your steam id (that includes the zeroes, sometimes a one is in there, and the colons) Hope this helps!

Yeah you launch the game with the following parameters:
  • -dxlevel 90 (DirectX v9.0)
  • -dxlevel 81 (DirectX v8.1)
  • -dxlevel 80 (DirectX v8.0)
  • -dxlevel 70 (DirectX v7.0)
But it doesn't do much good if your card supports and exceeds lower direct x levels because it'll process it just as fast as its supposed to that is why they need lower-end computer users.

Eh, I've been ghosting this ever since I was told by a random person on a different forum. I just happened to mention playing Quake Team Fortress and missing it. Didn't really ever throw down money for TFC... I forget why at the moment as that was a long time back, but I've kept this bookmarked even through a computer change. Got a little disheartened when it just kinda stopped updating for a long time, but I nearly pissed myself when I read it today. Cheers eh?

I just hope the people accepted into the beta actually help out the game instead of just playing it. I've seen far too many people sign up for betas just to play and never help the games progress.

Yeah, that's why they should do something like: "Hey, you're in, but if you don't help, you're out"

I doubt it, I'm sure they're taking people who just lurk the forums into consideration.

They'll pick the ones that they find fittest for testing (:
