I have an extra RO2 Beta key if anyone wants it.

To make it more fun, and to keep any of those 'Super Mario Does WWII' players away smile please reply in this thread with the answer to this Red Orchestra: Osfront 41-45 related question:

'Name the German side-arm issued to Panzer crew members'

Easy eh? First come, first served. Good luck!

P08 and P38.

I can not get the game to find any servers. frown

I installed Punkbuster and it said it installed fine. Before entering the server browser I enabled it in game. Is there anything else I have to do?

Flogger, if you already have the beta I can't give you another key - stop entering the competition smile

I was online about 10 mins ago - and I think your steps look fine. Are you fully updated in Steam, as there was a version bump which is why you might not see servers?

One of those guns is correct, if someone else wants to reply to win..

Sorry, I misread your post. :p

I still can't find a fix. But I can right click on a friend and join there game. So I did get some play time.

Some screen shots and a vid on the highest settings. I get low frame rates and constant stutters at 1680x1050. Some maps I get 8 or so frame rates. I have a GTX 260, 4GB RAM, and an AMD 965. The vid/screens:

Overall I do not find the game fun.

Flogger, from looking at your video I have a few suggestions ...

- My video card is similar to yours but I’m getting good framerates. What I’ve done is turn everything to Ultra at 1920*1080 but turned off bloom and blur (who would ever want that? screwy), shadows to medium, post processing to low (post processing usually means more blur anyway) and antialiasing to FXAA Low (I find that the more FXAA you have, the blurrier it gets as well).

- I think you might have the “Disable sprint key zoom” box in the gameplay settings checked because I notice that you’re not zooming in at all while you're looking around or while looking down your sights.

- Don’t forget to use your Tactical Display (I think the default is T) to quickly check what the objective is and to know where the squad leader is and what his orders are.

- Don’t forget to check your Overhead Map for stuff like your team’s movements.

This definitely ain’t your typical lone wolf run and gunner and it may not seem that fun when you first start but once you learn the ropes, it gets good ... real good.

I'll try changing some of the settings. I hope the final game runs better. I know there are a lot of ballistics in the game (adds CPU stress)but UE3 should scale down very well. Certain areas of maps just kill my frame rates to. It seems like they have a lot of work left to do to get the game optimized well.

I also disabled zoom to DH levels. I can't stand the variable zoom. However, this makes it impossible for me to kill anyone as they can spot me from distances where they are not even visible on my monitor. So I will have to change it back.

Otherwise I do not like the gameplay too much. Far too many SMGs and semi autos. Not enough Mosins or Mausers. The movement is far too fast, and you can sprint really long distances. This unnecessarily speeds up things. There is also not enough weapon sway, tanks recoil far too much, and the bandaging system is pointless.

I'm working on a few custom RO2 splash screens. I just thought I'd let you guys all know you can make your own by going to the root folder here:

C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\redorchestra2beta\Engine\Splash\PC

Original RO2 Splash .BMP


Custom (WIP)
