Chaotic Dreams

Another visual thiny,
when you shot your last proxy you can still see another one in the claw?
agin its not somethin critical.

BTW:
It wold be nice if you can use the claw without ammo like in the old version (Crunch)

hi all:-)

Well i post a bug on the atari form but no responce so i came here for help.

i had a prob thats has been said,where you use the The Gravity Vortex Launcher/or the bots use it,then you get a repeated sound and the game freezes,had to do a hard restart.
This happend when i was playing bombing run,then next time it happend was on dm,the only thing i noticed was when there was a lot of speech/taunts ect. just as the The Gravity Vortex Launcher started.Thats when the freezeing happens.
also it happend when i just picked up the Gravity Vortex Launcher as well with no spamming sounds.

here is the log.

yeap I ask our model team to make me a model that has the claw with out either the proxy or the Fire Mine loaded. We will get it added probably on the next patch but not the hot fix. Thanks for the info.

Sugestion:
It will be easyer to hang if the speed with wich the grapple unweels hes chain will be slown down.
Question:
Is it intentional that when you hook on some surfese and somethin blocks your way so you stay there but after some time (7 sec's aprox) your life speeds down and you die?

the reason for that is because you are accellerating into the surface even if the surface is blocking you. This starts triggering the code that hurts you when you fall (because your speed is too fast). Which causes the health loss.

Another way to think about it is if you watch the movie Goldeneye, look at how Xenia dies. This doesnt mean its intentional... but is meant to give a scenario when it would be true =)

ok:-)

Well i`v been playing with default sound now for over 30 mins and it`s not frozen yet.
But realy i dont think thats the prob.
anyways i`ll carry on playing if it freezes with default sound then i`ll post back.

btw i realy like the evil sound though:-)

Yea I saw that too. Will fix it in next release (not in hot fix probably)

I have locked this tread and made a new one for the hot fix. Please direct any bugs to that thread. We will leave this thread on the server and do our best to fix all bugs that were posted here.
