Lots of bugs found in MP play
Okay, I've been playign all week and only tonight did I go into MP with a friend and suddenly it was a very different game.
Running latest patch (1.1?)
I've had no crashes in SP game.
Played as the same nation as SP and MP (China).
Played same 'style', made the same sort of 'moves'.
Bug 1: Bad, bad, bad fonts. Regardless of what the readme on the patch says, they were well screwed up. The only way I can describe it is: On any font that appeared on a mouseover, the rectangle surrounded the text was 'striped' - and it covered the text. [system specs below]
Bug 2: Minimized game, maximized it (using Alt+tab) and the game area became somewhat squished ... it was as if the game screen was still 800x600, but the graphics were squashed vertically, like i was viewing the game through normal TV stretched horiztonally to fit a panoramic format.
Bug 3: OMG ... so many crashes ... and I can duplicate them. Hard to describe, but attacking with China's planes ... not the transport or naval bomber (just the remaining 3) ... in quick succession would KILL the whole game with a CTD instantly.
Attack ... click Attack ... click Attack ... CTD. Sometimes first time, sometimes third attack, but it would definately crash, everytime, while attacking with planes.
I've never had this in the SP game in over 20 hours of gaming and constant aerial combardments ... in MP? Constantly.
Bug 4: Two players in the MP chat room, the staging area. Everything is fine until one of them loads a game and then the font that shows the loading percentage becomes overlapped with two other areas of text. It's so bad that i can't determine what the other area of text is meant to say.
Computer:
Dell Inspiron Laptop 8100
GEForce 2 GO
256 MB memory
40 gig drive
latest drivers, latest MS updates (all of them), win2k, running 1600x1200 and the game in any resolution with exactly the same bugs (but only in MP).
