People, I think this patch completely destroyed the commander battle gamemode. The gamemode is heavily bugged and unplayable!
Everytime someone in the server spawns they get automaticly kicked for cheating. It also takes ages to spawn and then that happens!
I'm not sure if this happens to everyone but me and a couple friends of mine are experiencing this horrific bug.
R.I.P Commander Battle
If I were to try out mapping a bit, would it be possible for me to attach stuff to the movable sloop? Like those little rail-cannons, or a ladder?
Ah thx for enlighten me, Olaf!
How long will Vince be not there? That's a bit odd on a release day!
Would you guys happen to have any BCOF updates in the future? It's been a while.
Nice job with the addition of more units and ships, you guys really went over the top with this patch.
2. Trolling, insulting and other personal attacks
Personal attacks on forum users and moderators of any kind will not be tolerated. This includes (but it is not limited to) insults, provocations for the sake of argument, threats, encouragement to suicide, wishing death or ill upon a user and death threats or threats to the persons physical constitution. The latter (in the threats category), in the absence of humor, is a criminal offense and will result in an immediate ban. Discussions are allowed, but only constructive discussions, not discussions where your main goal is to humiliate or offend someone. Aim to discuss points rather than people.
