I used dev. build through out the alpha and beta and didn't change it to "Opt Out" at release. Now our server runs the vanilla version and even though I chose Opt Out and it updated, I still get a red circle and when I try to join the server I get kicked out because certain pbo's have the wrong keys. So in short, I have version 1.00.109911 and I want to revert back to 1.00. How do I do this? Already tried opt out on the Beta tab in steam and Verify integrity of game cache. ---------- Post added at 19:09 ---------- Previous post was at 18:40 ---------- Of course asking this because I don't want to download the whole game again.

Thank you sir. That fixed it for me. It appears CBA is not compatible.

Hmm, so the only way for me to get back to 1.00 is to reinstall the whole damned thing :( ---------- Post added at 08:25 ---------- Previous post was at 08:17 ---------- Checking the list of servers most servers seem to be running 1.00 and I can't enter any of them.

That wasn't my intention, I noticed this >> "This forum is asking questions unrelated to troubleshooting. IN PARTICULAR FOR NEWER MEMBERS." a little too late. Thank you for your helpful reply... ---------- Post added at 20:43 ---------- Previous post was at 20:40 ---------- In the meant time I went back to dev version, downloaded some stuff and again back to opt out and downloaded some stuff once again, still version 1.00.109911

Yes as I said. ---------- Post added at 19:43 ---------- Previous post was at 19:41 ---------- It downloads something, but won't revert to 1.00

I have latest version of OFP:Res atm, both CDs original copies but i want to play 1.46 with my m8 who hasnt got Res yet. I tried by putting original OFP CD in and joining a 1.46 server but it didnt work. I am thinking to install original OFP in another folder, my question is will this activate fade if i install the game a second time on my harddisk?

I read on a clan page that it is save to install OFP multiple times on your harddisk. Thx for the suggestion anyway avonlady

not reinstalling i meant installing a second time in another directory. I realised when i installed Res over Original OFP without any updates, it didnt create an addons folder in the ofp directory. All the files went into Res/Addons and since then i havent had a problem with addons ever since. But i think that is the reason i can't play 1.46 cause all vehicle and weapon files are in the Res/Addons folder. Basically i want to install Original OFP into another directory (so it will be installed twice on my harddisk), will that kick fade in?

Yes i've read FAQ and found out that BIS is not planning on updating MP code for old OFP players. BIS that's BS. You are the first gaming company i've seen that forces the players to buy their addon. We've all seen how Red Hammer turned out (yes i actually bought it) and how it was nothing special at all. How does BIS expect us to buy Resistance without even assuring us of a proper multiplayer netcode? I've been waiting for a new netcode since the original OFP came out and it seems to me now that BIS is more after the money rather than a better gaming experience for their customers as time passes. Really disappointed with CM for doing this and for BIS ;)allowing it Â

My post still applies however.<span id='postcolor'> I forgot to add it so what? Please close this thread i have made my point at least in between these useless arguments.

I bought the game the first time it came out. Yes i haven't been in your so called forum community all that long no but that doesn't mean i don't have common knowledge. It's still BIS making the game in the end no matter how much control CM has over them. BIS are the coders after all and not CM. And about Red Hammer having nothing to do with BIS, i didn't know about that

Dude BIS or CM they are working together in the end.

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">and you are getting way out of point. because BIS took risk with OFP, they need to be rewarded. and they also took chance of implemeting new netcode. so they need to be rewarded. you may think a netcode is an essential, but in reality, it's not.<span id='postcolor'> You still don't get my point dude. Of course you have to be rewarded if you do work and take risks. DOH! And BIS would still need to be rewarded even if OFP wasn't successful cause they took so much risk but they wouldn't cause they wouldn't earn enough money or no money at all. GET IT? Still in the dark? As for multiplayer, you might be one of those people playing SP only and fiddling around mission editor but it doesn't mean everyone else does the same. There are thousands of servers up there and these days one of the main ways to keep an audience focused long on a game is the Multiplayer aspect. There is nothing like playing against real people as i said before. You might be a 56ker who doesn't like MP, that's is not my problem but it's OBVIOUS THAT MP NETCODE IS ESSENTIAL, it's a big important step in a game's life cycle. Pls lets not get into that actor crap again it's getting too off topic and you are starting to contradict yourself and making no sense (going from risk to chance and dragging it on).

They sell some crap/unfinished game full of bugs and hope it hits big. When it does they start improving it. That's like (as an example i gave before) your car dealer telling you that your new car has some parts missing but they will send it to you later and charge you extra for it. Or even the manufacturer making a car but not testing it and selling it to you...Sorry if you crash we'll know whats wrong...bullshit...Meaning it's not complete. No not perfect (nothing can be) but not complete either. One way or another m8 there is always someone who takes in the big bucks in this case being CM.

Norsu, what use does it have in MP if it is messed up? Do you think it's gonna be working properly on MP when it doesn't on the editor or something? lmao

Lol you are telling me i don't understand risks and rewards? You are wrong again And using the movie/actor industry as an example, bad mistake. Many of those actors who are earning millions, do not have a proper education and were working in ordinary low paid jobs before they became 'stars'. And acting in a movie whether a flop or success does pay better than an ordinary job. Imagine you are a taxi driver and someone tells you that they want you to act in a movie. Obviously you'd say yes cause obviously you'd earn more. And tell me how are actors taking more risks then for example policemen do? A policeman doesn't even earn in a lifetime half the money a major celebrity/actor does for a movie and yet the policemen does take more risks and it's not just about the money or a steady job but his/her life being at stake which is an even bigger risk. I know there is a lot of risks but as you can see above money doesn't compensate for risk nor the other way. BIS had to take the risk whether they were going to be successful or not. Risk is always there doesnt matter if you get successful or not, earn a lot of money or not and have a steady work or not. </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">well, it's part of business to limit release of new features to increase revenue in enhanced new update with features.<span id='postcolor'> Once again as said by me: <span id='postcolor'>Please do us the favor i think we deserve it after waiting for so long and having to play with that crappy netcode </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE"> The game wasn't released with a proper netcode in the first place and i have yet to see a proper update (for the netcode mind you!.

The gaming industry is full of risks cause there is a lot of 'competetion', it's part of the business, so it's wrong to underestimate the amount of money they earned just because of the risks they took.

I didn't see anyone complain about that when Red Hammer was released... And as for the costs, you really have no idea how much money these people are making...

In case you don't know already, there are a lot of custom made vehilces (addons) on the net. You can download them from >>>here<<< or >>>here<<< Â

Would you start a carrer as a BIS programmer, without getting money for the time, you spend at the office?? <span id='postcolor'> There is a difference in getting payed & doing your job good and getting paid & doing it crappy...big difference and sadly most of the gaming industry goes for the 2nd way. Buying games these days is like buying a brand new car but with parts missing (whether vital or not)

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">if you know anything about Bis then you'll know they pretty much announce nothing, and what they do announce can change from day to day. So you're making a very big assumption very quickly.<span id='postcolor'> If i had asked if BIS/CM is going to release an update i would have been called a noob and an idiot and would have been told to go and read the FAQ that is posted here somewhere. (i know this cause i saw a post with the above example) As for assumptions, i read it on the FAQ that BIS/CM is not planning to release an update, that's why i am here complaining i am not assuming anything. As for the netcode, it is crappy no matter how many people play. Servers crash at least once a day or make your game crash, you usually have to wait a long time in the so called lobby to get to play, when there is no admin it takes ages before people start to vote, many times servers don't start the map although everyone is green and ready, other times you can't vote for a server admin and the choke is horrible sometimes even with good ping. Not everyone plays coop with just a few friends and has a cable to host a game. I like coop missions but I think it's more of a challenge to play against real people instead of the predictable AI. </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">Also the assumption that you blame Bis for everything and don't blame CM, if you know anything about software releases then you'll know that it's the publishers that force games to be out before they're ready, they're also the ones who have the final word about what patches may or may not be released.<span id='postcolor'> Maybe i didnt make myself clear enough (and i know about software releases), I was blaming both. I know the game publishers have the last say but they don't decide totally independent from the game creators. So in the end it's usually both their fault, if not just the publisher.

My system specs are ridiculously low and i am even having trouble playing old OFP itself. My point is not the Single Player cause Single Player never lasts (except for mission editor of course). My point was release the new netcode for old OFP owners. Keep the darned graphical enhancement, the new island, the new maps and heck even keep the new weapons for all i care but please give us old OFP players the new netcode. Please do us the favor i think we deserve it after waiting for so long and having to play with that crappy netcode

And after i read this forum, seeing how much problems Resistance has and how people even with high specs are having trouble running it...I won't be giving in to your capitalistic scheme (low quality, only after our cash)!
