Hi!

Just took the beta for a short ride.

1: Muzzle flashes (at least Me109) are non transparent. Meaning they are yellow-whitish boxes.

2: Very few graphical glitches anywhere. Framerates are not so great, but I dont have a great machine either. In the hangar, I can select fuel-quantity, but the barrels do not show. Only the green squares.

3: Planes crash on takeoff and landing very easily, they are unable to spin it seems. Dunno if that is a matter of concern right now.

Graphical overhaul looks good all in all.

Specs:

AMD Athlon 1.2 GHz
650 MB RAM
GF3Ti200 64 MB

Hav you read any of the stickies?

Yes I have, how about you?

I pointed out graphics-problems, my specs, and, that apart from those named graphic-problem I didnt have any.

The "stickies" didnt ask for FM-problems, but I still said what I observed. I hope it didnt take too much time to read it. Right along with a disclaimer. Now you've read more than what was in my original post anyway. I hope you can still follow?

This is not the Bug-Forum but at least the AHII forum, where such posts shouldnt go unseen as well.

So?

The purpose of this limited open beta version is to test core level functionality and performance across a wide spectrum of hardware configurations. We're interested in lockups, crashes, major rendering errors, and frame-rate. Please make your reports in the AH2 Beta bug forum on our message board. Please refrain from reporting minor bugs (like tracers or some gauges not displaying correctly) at this time. We'll be soliciting reports for those and gameplay issues in subsequent versions of the beta. When making reports please include your system specs.

They're aware of the minor graphical errors, hell, they took half of the graphics out of it.

Quote from Skuzzy:
"Items we are interested in, right now, are things like the black ICONS/text, not being able to run the game at all, and various other blatant graphics problems/anomalies. "

I think if it runs at all and I say what works and what not then I did what they want us to do.

When black Icons (which I didnt encounter, otherwise I would have said it) are a major graphics problem, then not working muzzle-flashes MIGHT be classified as such as well. I dont pretend to know what class of bug that is for HTC.

When a broken billboard is a problem a missing texture could just as well be such a problem. Am I wrong here?

But that actually is not the point. Its understnadable HT yells out at all the customers that bash a Beta. Its not there for playing but the want to do so. If there are enough of them a clarification is needed.
But its something different when some self-proclaimed BB-policeman jumps on anyone who posted his experience with the beta in a normal and senseful way.

Maybe Ill post once again if I find something that I would consider a bug. I dont think its useless crap what I post. If you do, thats ok. But expressing these thoughts is quite more useless than anyone's Beta experiences.

Lets leave it at that. This board moves fast, my post will be gone soon.
