Maybe Ill have better luck with RW on my new puter, so maybe Ill use it more.
How does one use it in AH? I read there is some sort of integrated RW feature in AH, does this mean you dont have join RW channels directly by typing in IP#? Is is generally reliable for you guys?
thanks

Grunherz,
Look at this post, should answer most of your questions about it.

Is there a version of RW somewhere available that is not bundled with the Gaytor 'helper'?
I don't want the companion the Gaytor is offering.

Not well.

When did they put this thing in here and WTF is it for?
-
Best to use it by the old fashioned method of establishing an IP then giving it out to whomever...the channel 5 method is to say the least, unpredictable.

Our squad has been using RW since day 1 and so far no problems. An occasional RW dump every now and then but nothing serious. We're usually using a RW base station. Works fine with the inbuilt radio5-tuning.

Q:"How does roger wilco work in AH?"
A: Very poorly
I use it if I want to hit CTRL+ALT+DEL every 5 minutes or so. Other than that I stick with Battlecom. http://www.shadowfactor.com (http://www.shadowfactor.com)

I use Battlecom.

If you have DX8, don't bother. If you still have 7a (better IMO anyway) it works fine for most. I use it with the 1c mod 1 (without gator) and it works fine.

For those happy using Battlecom (and why not it does give better performance than RW as wel las have more features) you might want to try Microsoft's Game Voice, for a little more than the price of a decent headset you get voice comms (basically Battlecom rebadged as an MS product) and very nice Plantronics headset and a nifty channel selector hardware device that also allows you to switch between headset and speakers as well as voice command software. I was sceptical of this product at first but since BETA 1.2a its got alot of the functionality of Battlecom back into the program and with BETA 1.3 coming out this month with dedicated server support this could become the squad comms program of choice. Give the Shareware version a whirl at: http://www.gamevoice.com/gamevoice.htm (http://www.gamevoice.com/gamevoice.htm)

I've been useing RW with Dx8a and have very few probs with it. The only thing that happens is sometimes it cannot hook up to the host...my fix is to go to RW's web site and select AH <channel 169 I belive> then go back to AH and retune and all is well.

RW will work fine with Dx8. Just set RW to Wav recording mode and it runs perfectly.

Are battlecom and RW mutually exclsive or can they mix and match as long as your on the same channel?
-
Does battle com have the spyware the comes with RW?

Never tried it, but I have run a server on one and joined a freq on the other at the same time. It worked ok, but I could only transmit on 1 of them.

Configure the RW thingy, and when testing the mic for the first time, It runs OK. If I click Test Mic for a second time, It won't record anything....so half duplex mode on. If I just run Test Mic once, and have the game in full duplex mode, when I get into AH won't work. That only to speak about a consistent problem. CTD are daily subject, and system freeze is a random feature (or it seems soo). Alt+TAB usage at each own risk....more often than not you (I) will have to reboot puter.
This using Wav recording and Dx8.0a....the half duplex problem became aparent with AH patch 1.062, the rest of them are part of the idiosyncracies of RW...
Cheers,
Pepe
Soooo.....

Recently formated my HD & had to reload from scratch.
After extensive reading on both this board, and the RogerWilco site I found the following information.
When installing a new ver of RW (with gator) it is VERY easy to not install the gator portion.
Start the instilation process. When you get to the first Licence screen, say no. Gator will not install. It will continue, when you get to the second Licence screen say Yes, Roger Wilco WILL install.
Thats all there is too it folks!
-
DOH!
Leopard thanks for that tip.
It didn't work the first time I tried it, but I had the wrong recording device selected. I picked the right device and voila it works fine now with WAV recording. Thanks!
Grunherz, Battlecom is from www.shadowfactor.com (http://www.shadowfactor.com)
They can tell you better than I can.

Glad I could help you funked but I cant take credit for the tip. I was told to try this by <mutters quietly> Lephturn. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Hey, spread the word guys. I don't need no steenkin' credit. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) Just make sure everybody knows about this.
Hmm. Methinks a FAQ and/or troubleshooting guide is in order. I'll have to get this info up on my website. We're way overdue for a FAQ with this kind of stuff in it.
If anybody wants to contribute, send it along to sconrad@hfx.eastlink.ca
