doesnt say anything about stopping ppl from getting points by resupplyin the titan guns

[chuckskull]

Re-supplying the titan guns makes them fire faster, not seen anyone doing it in the new patch. not sure if it was fixed or not.

[SuicidaL]

about time, tired of warning ppl on our server not to move the titans or they'll be kicked if they persist.

[chuckskull]

It's also nice to be able to get on a titan with out sentry drones bouncing around corridors

[SuicidaL]

now this patch seems to have thrown up a new glitch, in titan mode when the titan is destroyed a lot of people seem to be CTD.....think ea will have to be working OT to sort this cos it's really bloody annoying, although not tried on conquest so it might not be a native prob with titan.

[chuckskull]

Yeah end of round CTD, been getting that too, seems to just be titan.

[Veles]

Same here, been getting alot of random CTDs anyway so thought nothing of it (doesn't make it any less annoying though).

well this is a surprise!

[chuckskull]

Apparently the CTD is caused by the newest nvidia drivers, as the patch was developed on the old ones it wasn't tested

Still trying to find someone with an ATi card, who isn't a rampant EA basher to confirm this though.

If I have time later I'll run driver cleaner and roll back my drivers a few weeks see what happens.

Which are the latest drivers? I've got 84.21 which have been out since the dawn of time and still have CTD problems.

[chuckskull]

93.71. I cant roll back, because none of the older ones detect my card. Only seems to affect the explosion sequence of one of the titans.

Guessing patch 1.06 will be out shortly to fix it

Rampant EA basher reporting in.

Can confirm CTD at end of round on titan and otherwise on ATi card.

Much worse than previous patch in terms of lag it seems.Seen more lag expolits used than before.

[chuckskull]

You have an nvidia card

[AlCapacino]

ATi

[chuckskull]

A little birdy told me you had a P3 with 448meg of RAM and a Geforce card.
