Beta 2 feedback topic

[Forgot10]

Oh right, I got an annoying situation as a defender today. I was alone, and attacker had only 1 armour left. But all my rockets meant to prevent the guy from dashing to the pole were simply shot (I'm certain otherwise at least three of them would hit). And with me rather stripped of ammo, he went for capturing, and succeeded.

Hey,

Wanted to play some SM when suddenly Beta 2 was released.
My problem now is that i keep getting an error at 18% of the download.

ERROR:

Code: Select all

Download or update of ShootMania.exe failed.
Unable to contact the server. Cannot connect to the server (12002).

Sup with that?


greetings from Austira

How fast is your internet connection? How long does it take until this error appears?
Do you have enough free disk space on C: (or where your browser is storing the temporary download files) or where you have installed ManiaPlanet?
If you have installed it with default settings for the folders, some data will be stored in your own Windows profile folder, some will be in Programs, and some in ProgramData.

Hint: ManiaPlanet uses Internet Explorer settings, perhaps the size of the cache is too small.
The large update takes ~900MB.

Last hint: did you try to download with anti-virus disabled?

Also, as the rocket denial exists now in Elite, it gives an advantage to the attacker. This could balanced by decreasing charge shot time.

Actually it's rather a rocket shield for a defender right now. I've just played a match where I survived because the attacker hit 3 of my rockets before he had a shot on me, which meant he was already in a bad position and my mates managed to arrive, while his isolating and rushing skill against me got robbed, he had no chance for his well deserved kill.

Freaks me out :/ it was already easier for defenders, now I see random rushing tactics (no, not well planned, just random) succeeding, which is definitely not the best way to go

There seems to be a bug if I alt+tab from Elite, what I get is something like this:



nvidia card, old one, it happens only in this game though

Would you please be so kind to look into your Windows profile's own documents, ManiaPlanet folder,
and upload the ManiaPlanet logfile (or the crashlog if available) which corresponds to this issue?
This will help the devs, and we should create a new topic for this in the reports section.

Thinking as a Shootmania Elite player:
Listen at all the community of the Elite mode of Shootmania.
A lot of us want to bring back Elite to the original state or, atleast, delete some of the new changes made by nadeo.
For example: Rail that destroys rockets, very annoying or the new speed of the rockets.
In my opinion beta 2 is cool for the Storm or the Royal mode but in a competitive mode like Elite these changes didn't improve its gameplay, as a matter of fact the beta 2 has harmed it.
I'm no one to tell you to change the things on the Elite mode but if all the community of the Elite mode of Shootmania will contest these changes i beg you to listen to us.

What are you talking about? Everything was great for increasing skill level with the new beta 2 update...


You are correct on one point though, shooting rockets is so dumb... It's to random and is not good in competetive play

My thoughts on complains about laser vs rocket in elite:
Maybe my point doesn't matter since I don't play elite, but anyway. First this is beta and subject to change, Nadeo already said that they might adjust something regarding laser vs rocket to make better balance. Second, you are talking about a change, and peoples minds tend to reject changes because changes are not what people got used to. So I suggest to test it for several days without looking back as if it was from the start, and after that give feedback if it is fun or not. Asking to remove this feature now is too early in my opinion. Also keep in mind that the feature was added by guys who developed elite in the first place.

Is maniaplanet server down? After I start maniaplanet, it allows to choose profile, then displays message "connecting to mp02.maniaplanet.com" and then message that it can't connect. It worked before today.

There was an issue which has been fixed now.

[mistertl]

Still the same issue here (mp01 for me btw).

Edit: and solved, thanks!

Its lol skill on that track now but fix the cut. i have looked how to do it and its very easy.
you can update or add a new track version of the track.

Way ? becouse that track is special and we miss out on the uturn driving.

Anyone know any other track with cut ?
