Brilliant update, and I'm absolutely loving the new AI and weapons. Keep it up!

My journey.

1) Started game - we only have one base, agaisnt everybody else, or something like that.

2) Heroic stand. Shoot enemies. Regret not finding out how to pick weapons up.

3) Crash around 20 seconds into the game.

Sucks : /

Yeah, crashes happen sometimes, quite often frankly. That's what you get for trying out an alpha version, thanks for trying though

Any chance you would still have the rwr_game.log from that game session?

mostly when my game crashes without a reason it was when i was dying and hiting "spacebar" to respawn, i have the .log file if u want to see its soo long
ok here are the last lines, im not sure u need the whole log.

That's enough of log, thanks, the last 10 lines or so usually tells everything that has any value.

This is indeed the most common type of crash there is. A soldier is detected to have moved outside the block he used to be at, and the new block is out of user player's immediate vicinity and so the soldier needs to become "virtual". Just before the soldier gets virtualized, there's a sanity check for soldier's position and the new inactive block that the soldier is indeed in this block -- for some reason, sometimes he's not anymore.

I've checked this area a lot of times that there shouldn't be a possibility for the soldier to move between the detection phase and the virtualization phase. What's also getting in way, is that I haven't found a way to reproduce the problem every time, in fact, I had my hopes up that some fix attempts that I had done around this area would have changed it for the better already.

Well, I've got my verbose logging prepared for this error now, so I should once again learn more about it the next time I stumble on it -- meanwhile, back to online mode implementation.

Online mode shall be very interesting

Care to share some details? Will the be lag compensation elements, any anti cheat mechanisms or what about AI opponents? Just a few questions that come to mind. Please do share

Well, I've played a few games through, and I've got to say the new guns are a blast. The silenced MP5 is definitely my favorite, quiet and accurate is perfect for spec ops and even regular battles, I was actually sniping with it on my 1680x1050 monitor. C: While fun, I think the spread ought to be increased just a touch, just to make it more of a close quarters weapon.

The M240 I did not like at first, but that's because I was attempting to use it as a lone wolf weapon, which it is not. But in a large squad and with suppressive fire, it was awesome and it quickly got me up to a leftenent.

But my favorite new thing is being able to start with only one area, those are the fun fun games.

The M240 is a brilliant lonewolfing weapon. I have managed to conquer East Trench and Airport in one run, all alone. See here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYla3ZCwCeE
