The oldest bug.

Okay, /re bug is just beyond annoying... Does anyone have a clue on what causes it? It's in the game since the Tech Test and it NEVER got fixed. /re chat is one of the most important, yet buggy as shit.

It WAS fixed, at least as far as I know.
To me it's one of the most important bug as it effects multiple people vis a vis their ability to coordinate.

Today on Miller, I come to Mao and guess what?

"/re Support needed at Vertical Shield Gen." Enter
- Huh, WTF?.. Oh, crap...
"/y Support needed at Vertical Shield Gen." Enter
You: Support needed at Vertical Shield Gen.
[RandomVSDude]: Lol, okay...

yup iv been going on about /RE since beta. tweeted the devs about it and they said they would look into it. that was over a month ago. it stupid that is doesn't work in a game that wants team work. hard WHEN YOU CANT SPEAK TO YOUR FECKING TEAM. iv given up on /re. i use in game voice and if no one listens i let them die. i think /re works 1% of the time atm. makes me mad.

Very annoying

Indeed. It worked for a while in beta, but got broken (again?) close to release. It's very, very annoying.

Forgive the devs. they are really busy and have to set some priorities. atm they are focusing on the most important issues like producing shinny helmets for the shop or connecting your stats to FB. Therefore no time left for shit as /re. Haha.

I know your post was sarcasm but the PS2 team is pretty huge. There's all sorts of people working on that cosmetic stuff in no way related to game design/coding.

I was always under the impression that /re only worked if you have control of the location ( This also includes if they have taken some points, so during a defense as as well ).

If you are an attacker, it does not work.

Nope... My quote of the chat is from when I was a defender.

Yeah, an /re fix is badly needed really soon.

Also, but not as urgent, I'd kill for a 2nd customisable chat window. Outfit/Platoon and Squad in one window and the rest in a different window. Dragging and dropping chat tabs around the screen would rock. Stretching out the windows so I can see more. Don't worry about cluttering up the HUD SOE devs, I'll worry about that, but give me the option at least.

Proper combat logs would be nice too.

Does anyone get the bug were the screen starts to flicker, as you move your mouse. I get this alot as well as outfit mates, infact yesterday we all got hit with it at about the same time. I usually just stand still for about 30 seconds to a minute and it goes away. Does anyone else get this, or is this a connection issue.

I got it when i was playing every day. I'd be playing for an hour or so, and all of a sudden, if I looked one way, my screen would flicker into various shapes and things.

i.e.: I'd look in the direction of a friendly sunderer, and I'd get these flashes of solid gray in the shapes of triangles and such and could not see where i was going. But if I looked a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of an inch, everything would look fine.

I usually re-logged to fix it and if that didn't work, I restarted my computer (even though I only had to restart my computer once out of like, 10-20 times?) It's probably something having to do with something that happened when you installed the game. I re-installed the game and it worked fine afterwards.

Hopefully this all helped you out.
