This information is irrelevant to 99.9% of players. Unless you are behind a Cisco router and have no idea how to config it (fat chance), Allegiance will take care of it's own ports. I will update that page when I have a spare hour, for order's sake.
QUOTE Convoluted and confusing help systems are not gonna help bring in new blood to the game...
Im in a clan on a game called Savage (very similar setup to this one e.g a leader and teams, but fantasy based.) i would like the clan to incorperate this game into our sphere of influence, but im not ready to embarass myself by reccomending a game which requires, potential downgrading of drivers, changing of firewalls AND out of date help files...[/quote]
Blame nVidia for breaking their drivers. Just to clarify: our dev team is working on updating the renderer engine to DX9, which should fix the nVidia issue.
Fiddling with firewalls is inevitable. Deal with it if you want to play any online game that is 8 years old.
In case you haven't noticed, this is a free game. That means, that none of the guys running this place are paid to do so. That includes Helpline staff. If you look at the Groups page for this forum, you might notice, that there are only eight people running Helpline, and we manage to solve dozens of players problems weekly. Now, given that all of us have jobs, some study also, we simply don't have the time to keep the Wiki pages up to date. They are updated whenever someone feels like spending additional hours on editing texts, Cut us some slack, k?
QUOTE dont get me wrong, im not trying to offend anyone. i just consider mine to be a fairly good rig, well tweaked to my needs as most people have theirs, its not nice to have to reconfigure for a single game, and to be left with questions because the knowledge base is inacurate =([/quote]
This game is well worth buying a 5 year old rig off e-bay, just to play it /wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />
QUOTE that being said, i have made all the needed downgrades to my machine and am progressing well with learning the game. Its WELL worth the inconvenience, its just some people that might be great players may not have the patience to go through it.[/quote]
You are ecpieriencing exceptionally many issues. Most people just install and play.
Also, if I can recommend you teh 174.74 nVidia drivers. I have 8600 GS and they work good enough for me (and i can play other games). I get steady 60fps at 1280x800 res. I meddled with settings for Alleg a bit to take the fps as high as possible (and avoid it dropping when much is going on). Drop me a PM if you want those. Leaving this open, so you can discuss your gfx.
