No problems here :)

Zero problems, never spotted a bug or had a crash. Thanks probably to the people who tested it before me.

But people will have problems, many different configs and things that can go wrong, so I dont want to sound like I'm rubbing it in their faces.

But its why we have alphas and betas so most of that can be ironed out before release.

An alpha has a right to be broken, so we shouldnt get angry either if we do find its broken.

Playing in 1920*1080 Anaglyph (Wow)
Click to expand...

It's so good in Anaglyph, I loved how FD changed the colour scheme so there is little clashing/flickering of colours .. best I have seen on my computer ...

I always thought it would be a nice feature of Anaglyph 3D, to be able to slightly adjust the red/Blue tones with a slider so you could match it perfectly to the exact colour of your glasses ... that would be nice ...

Anyway, If you get to see it running on a Side by Side 3D TV ... it is incredible!... I said it before ... the 3D Sold ED to my brother ... he will be buying it now ... and he was a disbeliever ... a heretic, if you like :D

where can you get those glasses?

I brought mine from E-Bay, red and blue Nvidia glasses .. but even cardboard ones from 3D comics or whatever will work .. you could get a pair for under a quid, probably delivered.

It does work ... just not as well as side by side ... that was incredible ... I can't wait for the OR .. as soon as it is available and I have the cash ... I will be looking like an idiot .... and loving it!

No problems here either, download was quick and painless.

ah but there is one problem I have encountered, I use a Black widow J/S and though it is not an X52 with a thousand buttons, it does have enough buttons to set up for combat only thing is whoever preprogrammed the game with settings for the Black widow must have been drunk at the time, So have changed all the settings accordingly

I can set the pov hat for looking around but I have to switch into that mode and then switch out again before using any other button...does this happen for every J/S with a hat or just the black widow.....

No major problems here either, I have it running well on both my laptop and my desktop.

I second the point about the Black widow though. Elite wouldn't even detect it until I told the menu it was a Saitek (figures!).

I can't press buttons and look around either. I don't think most other flightstick users have to toggle between thrusters and looking around, as they probably have more than one pov hat/thumbstick to play with, so I doubt they have the same issue?

Positive comments in this thread. I will consider downloading. Since April 10, the Alpha 1.1 is available in my account, I have not done yet. But I wonder if I'll just be able to fly quietly with my HD4600 integrated graphics chip in my processor

Actually, you probably just need to be in the right place. Fly up to it and keep yourself behind its engine, the super accurate high damage beam turret can't shoot you there at it's an easy kill. (I've also seen reversing away from it, keeping your distance let's you kill it while keeping out of its range).

Bit if a shame to have to resort to such cheap tactics to beat it but with that turret, what else are you supposed to do? :/

I finally did it after quite a few attempts, just flied up behind it and fired everything I had at it, it went down pretty quick and easily in the end.

I was worried this game would be too easy with the homing laser and stuff, but that just makes it harder as no where seems to be safe, they can shoot at you from all angles and its hard to out outmaneuver fire.

combat is harder than the original. Tracking enemies is harder too, or maybe its just the controller I'm using, plus the enemy isnt predicable like the orig.

I recently got Premium and then Alpha and I've had a few crashes but nothing show stopping .. just odd...

The odd stuff is like playing the single player scenario attack the Anaconda... I get killed and before I can click retry it flashes up on the screen with the restart for multiplayer death and takes me to Port Zelada... which shouldn't be part of the single player scenarios... I could then hyperspace and do all of the stuff you can't do in single player combat test and true enough there were no other players... very odd...

In multiplayer Alpha this morning going to the Federal Bond area to defend the capital ship.. it disappeared and all of the AI sidewinders spawned on top of each other in a mesh of ships... they would separate after you started blasting them... also the FPS dropped from 60FPS (which seems to be the cap) to 4.5fps

But it is still good fun

I was surprised at how quick and easy when I installed and then it took me many times longer to fiddle with my joystick settings.

And no jokes about fiddling with joysticks...
