[Mr.Guybrush II]

A few tips for yous to get started :)

1) Regardless of your other settings, make sure your viewdistance is 100%

2) If no servers are showing up on the online list press the Advanced tab, deselect everything but "same mod" and hit "update list"

3) If you cannot see floating icons for capital ships or the nav point on hoth space, press the left Alt key.

4) Crashes should be rare ingame now, if you still experience constant CTD'n try reducing your graphics (lighting/shadows is mostly the killer in FirstStrike). If you're experiencing server crashes, please report on our helpdesk forum.

5) Singleplayer does not work in v1.1. We do however have a seperate singleplayer minimod being created: http://www.firststrikemod.com/fsforu...ic.php?id=5612

Thanks for your support guys, we appreciate all feedback good or bad.

excellent news, now if we could just remap the thrusters to something other than left shift, that would be perfect.

[[FSDev]Preacher]

you mean the boost? you can re-map it, you have to do it manually in the profile. < btw this is DICE's fault not ours, none of their air vehicles have a boost (but the code remains fromBF2) but since there Air vehicles don't boost theres no remap ability in game and thus you have to manualy edit the profile controls.con

however if you don't want the hassle of doing that yuo can always Double tap forward :)

[Merlin]

What vehicle has boost on it? I didnt know there was such a thing.

[Mr.Guybrush II]

I believe its as follows Merlin;

Speedboost:

Ground:
-Speederbike
-Landspeeder
-Speeder Transport

Space:
-Awing
-Xwing

Any other questions please post :)

[FSDev]Mr.Guybrush

[Woodrow]

A big thanks to DS_Imperial and crew for their testing assistance, and also to mach10 for helping us clear up the memory leak issues!

[Chaos_Marine]

Can't get the patch to work, it hangs around 20 and gets stuck, have to abort then repatch, but it says you do not have first strike installed so i hit ignore and go thru the process again, after 3rd attempt it finishes.

Here's the coding from the log file

Try to play online but it crashes 20&#37; thru optimizing shaders.

this is the second time after reinstalling first strike that this has happened.

[[FSDev]Preacher]

you don't happen to have XP 64 do you?

nearly everyone that's had trouble with teh patcher has XP 64

[Chaos_Marine]

yes i do unfortunately, installed bf2142 in the x64 program files directory, and had the above issue, trying it in the normal program files directory, hopefully it works as ive completely uninstalled bf2142.

Had the same porblem with the conflict 1.24b patch, it just wouldn't install til they brought out version 2.0.

unfortunately it didn't work, patch hung on 27 of 38 looks like it's gonna have to be version 1.0

oh well so much for 1.0 no populated servers are running it. Nice mod shame i can't use it.

[nadicus]

Excellent work to all those involved. Enjoying it more and more each day.

[Csakip]

The 1.0 was unplayable on my comp (1-3 FPS) but with the hotfix it runs smooth... Really good SW feeling overall. Maybe the weapons are a bit uniform but maybe later I will get used to the difference.
Absolutely great work. I especially like about space maps that you don't get that "here's where you have to shoot to hit the moving enemy" reticule.
