I don't find lag much of a problem, but this game feels 'empty'. Not playerwise but the feeling.

does the game keep crashing sometimes for anybody else to?

Some of you guys have figured out that you can deface the forums. I'm looking at you Phoenixfencer.
Just because you may have the power to do so, don't abuse it.
The MicroVolts administrative team is already swamped from launching their game. They are new to this. Don't make it any worse for them.
I'll be saving copies of threads so that I can revert the vandalism, and I suggest that other people do so as well.
+1 for you Phoenixfencer, for giving me a good laugh![]()

^ This. I'm wondering if the company is a scamboozo.
Oh and ask them if they're planning to ip block any region ;o
can someone please upload the installer to rapidshare or some other free hosT, because this stupid download Keeps failing (even if i delete all temp files & cookies)
Hmm, I can't start the game. It tells me that it can't find my phys library or something even 'tho I swear I saw it installed with the game.
Reputation: 41it works. Just start the game again. Had the same error and than i started the client again and tadaa it works ^^Hmm, I can't start the game. It tells me that it can't find my phys library or something even 'tho I swear I saw it installed with the game.

I've given it an hour and have uninstalled it. Customisation feels lacking, some boring clothes/accessoires that give a few % extra runspeed and def. The weapons in the shop aren't very different from the free weapons. Actual gameplay is slow due to the slow movement. Jumping is nearly useless and you're forced to switch to melee to doublejump. Grenade and rocket launcher have a too low rate of fire, not enough splash damage and slow projectile speed, they're useless. There is no normal recoil on the rifle/minigun, only the immediate conical spread. The textures' lack of any detail is obscured by the typical 'make everything glow!' filter.
Hilariously large factor determining your kdr is your ability to switch weapons fast. Rebinding the 123456 to keys more easily accessible will allow you to kill more and survive longer. Fast weapon switching feels like 50% of the game (buy the gloves for +10% switch speed). The game has no competitive appeal whatsoever.
There is no teamplay, the persistant kdr stats aswell as the battery hp drops from enemies don't promote teamplay and instead reward lonewolfing. Why would I help my teammate around the corner and risk dieing and not getting a kill when instead I can wait, let him die, then rush the already hurt enemy and kill him to improve my kdr and get a +hp battery?
Finally I would not use their cash shop as I don't trust a company whose website had and still has glaring bugs and was being updated in a live environment (internal aspx errors all over the place) all while being delayed. Their forum listed every member as super moderator with the normal administrative powers such as deletion/editing and is now offline because they can't fix the bugs. They are using Themida as a cheap anti-hack measure while Themida is known to block the operation of normal 'computer maintenance' applications aswell as being the favorite packer of malware creators since Themida packed malware avoids identification by AV programs. This is what happens when companies can't incorporate the industry-standard server-side controls/checks to prevent cheating and instead have to revert to installing client-side ducktape.
I played gunz for months, blackshot online for weeks and even played crazy shooter online (that cheap chinese counter-strike rip-off with green blood) for days. Microvolts online I uninstalled after an hour.
It doesn't matter. The server lag depends on teh host. If the host is from your area you'll have a nice ping. Simple.
