Downloading.
Didn't work, it had a engine error and crashed. Funny tho it opened up with the lost cost menu screen...and then it crashed.
Did you install 2.2 then 2.21?
Looking good guys, some needed fixes done..
im in that trailer :O
I hope this gets on steam! ;)
Never played this mod very much before when i downloaded because of crap pc was to slow but new pc now will download looks really fun like battlefield.
I've been playing the latest version of this mod and the 40 player servers are absolutely amazing. They really polished this mod since I last played. Absolutely wonderful.
I'm glad you like it.
i love this mod but when im treying to go on a server all most every time "Serve is useing different class table" or my map is not ok whit the servers map!! WTF :o
It means that some of the scripts differ form the ones the server uses. Make sure you've got 2.2 (full install), the 2.21 patch installed and that you're trying to join a 2.21 server.
Also, there's a few servers that run non-standard scripts for testing purposes. These update quite frequently and unfortunately this makes people not able to join.
