From what I can see the game supports connect to ip. Has anyone tried hosting and playing MP? Does it work?

I tryed connecting to the "legal" server that i setup, didnt work, coudnt authorize.
Then i tryed skidrow files used with server, and server crashed. Prolly cuz of wrong steamid or w/e

Maybe because there was no beta?
Look at cod blops now *that* had some major problems for tons of people for many weeks.
At least this isn't as bad. I didn't have any issues except for a bug with sound cutting out on certain maps.
I expect upcoming patches to swiftly resolve any game breaking issues other people are having.
If anyone would like to mess with commands, default console key combo is ctrl + alt + ~
Yes there is a config file, it just took a bit of searching.
It's located (for me) in \Steam\userdata\16185623\22350\local\base\brinkconfig.cfg
I'm not sure it's the same if you installed it another place or without using steam.
The config uses the same settings as ETQW but some don't work or are missing.

Ok guys, i hope this is useful to people having problems. I downloaded the Skidrow release, and after customizing my character and maxing out all graphical settings in the Options menu, I started a Challenge for my initial test. Result: after some 2-3 minutes the game froze, not even ctrl-alt-del worked to let me go to task manager to kill the game process, it was just a total freeze. This was the first time that happened to me on my Win7 install. After hard resetting my computer I tried again and same result after just 3-4 minutes.
I was of course very annoyed about this, so I went to the Brink official forums @ Bethesda and Splash Damage websites and after reading several threads I found that a common reported solution for freezing, ctd and BSODs was just disabling motion blur and quality postprocessing in the game menus, then using an autoexec.cfg file with the comands:
seta r_useMotionBlur "1"
seta r_useHighQualityPostProcess "1"
I don't know what the real logic of this is, the only thing I know for sure is that it solved my problem just like for most of those people in the forums having similar issues. I checked in the graphics options and High Quality Postprocessing stayed disabled even using the r_useHighQualityPostProcess set to "1" in the autoexec. Like I said, I don't know what is the logic of this, maybe someone here with better knowledge of the IDTech engine can share some ideas.

Now I want to share some tweaks I added to my autoexec.cfg file that helped me with performance in SP. This is how my autoexec.cfg looks right now:
| Code: |
// autoexec.cfg
seta image_anisotropy "16"
seta r_softParticles "1"
seta r_useAntiAliasing "1"
seta r_useMotionBlur "1"
seta r_useHBAO "0"
seta r_useHighQualityPostProcess "1"
seta r_useShadowMaps "1"
seta r_shadowsHighQuality "1"
seta r_useThreadedRenderer "1"
seta s_enable_mic "0"
seta com_machineSpec "3"
seta com_allowConsole "1"
seta com_videoRam "1280"
seta com_useFastVidRestart "0"
//seta r_multiSamples "1"
seta r_displayRefresh "60"
seta com_unlockFPS "1" <------ maybe this made the difference? it worked in ETQW
|
At first (no tweaked autoexec.cfg yet) I was getting the same issue that many people here reported, with the SP missions capped at 30 fps max. Then, after the tweaking, I went to the in-game console and issued the "seta com_showfps 1" command which shows the fps count at the top left of the screen. I started a mission in the sp campaign and was getting "not so good" performance with the fps counter showing 40'ish at all times. That's when I recalled from my visit to the official forums that people mentioned that Ambient Occlusion was a major performance killer, so I quit the game, added: seta r_useHBAO "0" to autoexec.cfg, restarted the sp campaign and now the fps counter was showing around 80-90 fps all the time. I don't know for sure if those values are being shown accurately by the engine, but I could definitively feel much better performance while playing, there's no way I was playing @30-40 fps anymore, it was all very smooth.
Give it a try and please provide some feedback so I can discard (or confirm) the placebo effect on me

Ah, sorry I forgot:

These cvars from ETQW: com_unlockFPS, com_unlock_maxFPS, com_unlock_timingMethod don't exist in brink.
I tried in console but says error unknown command.
There's the whole list here http://pastebin.com/D94Mvivn if you like.

With a few patches, it's certainly possible that Bethesda will clean up the network problems with the game and it will certainly be worth your time. As it stands right now, with laggy network performance and an abysmal single-player experience, this is a game that will push your patience to the brink. Take a pass, at least for now.
score - 51
Abysmal? Haven't seen this word used since the ET review, think I'll pass
