Never apened to me, but i read is a common problem.
For me using Internet Explorer did the trick, i can get a game on 2 or 3 attempts, and have yet to experience a server crash.

Seems pixelated games from 1992 have made a massive comeback.

Delta Force 1 from 1998 looked way better with it's ugly voxel engine:

frant, thats a rediculous post.. ace of spades is basically minecraft with a twist on a combat aspect.

Crysis 2?? Laughing Laughing

I guess you're mistaking me for someone else sabin. I'm not Leo, I don't bash unreleased games based on a screenshot (skyrim for instance). I just find it funny that there's fashion in blocky graphics, something people couldn't wait to get rid of when the 3dfx arrived in the mid-90'ies. Wink

I know, I was mostly just teasing Wink There's a difference between blocky, pixellated, games due to age and hardware constraints.. and then out of design choice. Like pixel-art goodness of Game Dev Story, or the specialised Minecraft and 3D Dot Game Heroes Wink

True, but that doesn't hide the fact that many games with so called 'stylistic' graphics, including this particular one, still look like shit.
Of course there is nothing wrong in developers using this approach to graphic. I only find it quite funny to see people complaining over low res textures in Portal 2, then see exact same people masturbating to something like this.

Do you also think it's funny that people enjoy Picasso's art? Do you think Picasso's work is pathetic and should be of higher "quality" like Monet?

I prefer Rembrandt and El Greco personally, but art style has nothing to do with what I'm talking about. Art quality, on other hand has. You have superb impressionistic paintings, but you also have some not worth the canvas they are painted on. Same goes for cubism or any other style and same could be said about video game graphics.

That's subjective, you're arguing that certain visual styles in games are not worth having just because you - and you alone - dislike them. I'd hardly call that a fair statement, to be honest. Personally? I've had a great time playing games with "retro" style visuals, especially the blocky - exaggerated pixels - stuff such as Minecraft and 3D Dot Game Heroes.

Well, given the bashing, i had to give the game a go and you know what?, its actually pretty good fun. Its one of those games like minecraft that I turn on for a few mins to have a blast.
I hope it continues in development. It does have quite a lot of promise.
