I bought it too. Had to give up on the special edition, though, so now I have to install SIX discs worth. Sigh.<br><br><br>(Stupid Best Buy...) <p></p><i></i>

yea, from what I gathered, from EB special edition has been sold out for 6 weeks<br>wow what a game!!!<br>i think dvd-rom should've been necesary, with the game needing 6 disks(5.5Gigs)<br>i was impressed with the usual deathmatch fanfare, then played onslaught, to get a grip on vehicles(nice!!)<br>then started playing assault, and I"m in love, mothership is definately the most inovative game I've played, starting you off playing in starships, of all things!! and I must say that has set me on reinstalling my joystick, lol<br>hopefully seeing some of yas on soon!<br> <p></p><i></i>

Yeah, I think they underestimated the popularity that the DVD edition had. In the past games that have come out on DVD and CD have had the DVD hersion not sell very well, maybe this is a good sign of things to come, I'd rather have the game on DVD, less cd's and the nice storage (much better then paper cd sleeves) <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br>LoS/Soup has a server running onslaught.

I'm having 3 problems with this game:<br>1)in 1-player games, my keyboard does not respond, and will quit completely(it is a MS wireless bluetooth) a problem I do not hav ewith any other game, I would consider, that is being demanding on my system, except when I disconnect this keyboard, and run witha ps2 one, it does the same things(sticking, which I thought was keys, but I've thoroughly cleaned now, and it does not respond at times) this isn't steady, or I wouldn't be halfway done with the tournament.<br>2)in 1-player games, if I enable my joystick, through the options console, problem #1 gets worse.<br>3)in multiplayer it takes SO long for the game to load, that most of the time, I will miss the first match in assault, or domination, any theories on improving this? could the DVD have fixed this??<br>and thanks Mal, I hope to see you soon! <p></p><i></i>

forgot one nasty problem I've been having, if I play more that 3, or so maps of the 1-player game, I get a BSoD, might be a memory leak of some kind, I"m not sure, its just plain ugly to see <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :( --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/frown.gif ALT=":("><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br> <p></p><i></i>

Nilk, I'd recommend you check your driver versions (MB, video, audio) and scour your system of adware/spyware. Those have been known to cause problems in the past...<br><br>The keyboard problem is weird. Might be your motherboard drivers, though. What kind of MB have you got?<br><br>For troubleshooting, try doing things like set the system to low-res software rendering, then set the video back and turn off the audio completely. Might help you isolate the issue. <p><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.xmenclan.org/xmengambit.gif"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><br>XMEN member<br>Card-carrying DTM<br>OKL Fish-napper<br><br>Though a program be but three lines long, someday it will have to be maintained.<br><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em> The Tao of Programming</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--></p><i></i>

Dude. Overclocking could <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>certainly</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> be an issue; some things are more picky than others. So, things to try, one at a time:<br><br>1. Set the clock back to normal speed<br>2. Update your MB drivers<br>3. Play sans sound<br>4. Play with software rendering <p></p><i></i>
