What do you think about this game?
Discuss! :D

[Diaperzoo]

I really like this game. It's fun just as an off-roading game. I downloaded the official map pack, and i've been having a blast cruising around in the Tatra 8x8. It's a cool game, but it could still use a lot of work.

[masu]

it lags so badly on the computer i use now (i have two)

[Relys]

1 Lag's computer. 2 The physics a fricked up for me.

[leon kennedy]

damn this slowed down 56k broad band (bloddy telstra slowing down ou... *mumbles off*)

[Stigern]

Vell, the game has pretty advanced physics, so it demands quite the powerfull computer.

EDIT:

But, it depends wich truck/ you uses. The more complex vehicle, the more lag.

[leon kennedy]

well im screwed then <edit>,but im gunna download it any way :)

[Beakless]

Well, not really..
Rigs of Rods has a huge selection of special features you can turn off if you are getting lag, it all runs fine for me.

[Dj Demetrius]

Almost doesn't work on my 2GHz computer I use for web browsing, maybe i'll try it on my other one..

[jaybud4]

Runs fine on my 3 GHz. Gets somewhat laggy when you use that huge plane, though.

[Bobo00711]

This boring after 20 minutes :(

[mister.x]

damn this is too laggy :mad:

[jaybud4]

It's fun though, although crash something too hard and the wheels pop onto the other side and it becomes unusable... I was having so much fun with that monster truck, too!

[Amynue]

This game is AWESOME.
Full destruction:)

[siroo]

RoR is quite fun, in my opinion. I think it needs a couple of Ferraris, though. To balance out all the rigs. It's a bit rough around the edges, but I think it's a very promising project, though, and really want to see where it goes.

My only problem is that when I crash the Airplane, the screen always goes black and I have to hit Esc to quit the game. I suppose this is rather realistic, as an airplane crash would be pretty fatal, but it's also kind of annoying... Anyone else have that problem?

[Stigern]

Yeah, it also happens to me. Hope its fixed in the 0.31 version.

[Relys]

For me it's like: OMG THE GAME JUST FORZE.:eek: OMG I CAN BARLY MOVE IT'S SO LAGGY.:eek: OMG MY CAR JUST RAN INTO A VAN. OMG MY CAR IS ACTUALY "GOING INTO" THE VAN WITH OUT MAKING A DENT . OMG NOW ALL THE TEXTURES ARE GONE! OMG I THINK THIS IS THE FUNNEST GAME I HAVE EVER PLAYED!:eek:

[jaybud4]

OMG YOU NEED TO TURN OFF THE CAPSLOCK
Lol this game is fun.

[Relys]

Why? I can't distory ANYTHING!!1! IT SUX0RZ!

[jaybud4]

Upgrade your computer then. Get one that's not from 1990 :P
Just kidding, but seriously, it's your comp, not the game that's causing that.
Also, spellcheck for the good of the community.

[Nonexistant]

it lags so badly on the computer i use now (i have two)

WOW! that game is awesome!!! except it lags real bad on my 256 MB of RAM.

[Shephard]

Game runs great on my computer. Can't wait for the boats and waves. Next I hope for debris instead of rods and the skin stretching. But all and all a very fun and addicting game.

AMD 2.6 dual
4 Gig ram
ATI 1800 512mb (looking at the new GeForce 8800)
500 gb sata hdd

[CapnRat]

Running well on my computers. I'm really liking how you can import you own vehicles into this simulation. Time to make an FJ40!

[ego5000]

Hmm... Lag on your computers is interesting because i have 1,7 GHz and it lags only a little. (really little)

Edit: Grrr... How to add avatar? I searched about hour where to edit profile :P :)

[leon kennedy]

YAY i have full internet again its downloading time :P *EDIT* just to show how slow the internet was last month, it took 2.5 hours last month, now 5 mins how slow is that

[Sardiini]

Wow, this sounds really good :D downloading...
Edit:
Tried it, and it wasn't so good.

[leon kennedy]

i finally got round to playing it, it lags a bit , in fact it freezes every thing i had to restart my dads computer and that will be the last time i take a plane up in the air.

Yeah, it's sorta named Rigs of Rods so...

[ericman666]

:confused: I can't find the link to download.

is the "repository" the one?

[jaybud4]

:confused: I can't find the link to download.

is the "repository" the one?
It's in the repository, but it's slow. I recommend using the backup site.

[leon kennedy]

for some reason i cant lock any thing in, like i cant use the rescue vechile or cranes but its fun enough just crusin around

[Relys]

IMO the walk animation for the human... is the crappyist EVER.:D It's the actauly animation and how the camera movies when your walking that gives it a horible cheesey look.

[Sardiini]

Yeah, I hate that animation :mad: and it doesn't even have a skin.

All the cars are slippery, they break easily and the big plane... Yuch!

[danahribo]

What a coincidence, I just installed phpBB2 for my Game Dev. and i made a RoR section: http://danh.byethost18.com/forum/index.php?c=3

[Cries]

Mhh. Decent!

Controlling the vehicles is a bit harder than
in GTA though :D

No, seriously:

It's cool. But I'd like to see:

Collision physics, more deformation of the car when crashed
into something, background music ( I think there's a mod for this ),
a "real" character ( This while cube-ish guy is kinda pathetic ), more
dust/dirt - effects.

The plane was so funny :D
I usually messed up right at the beginning,
but once I somehow managed to
fly around a bit without loosing any engine :D

[Shephard]

Yeah, it's sorta named Rigs of Rods so...

I know it's Rigs of Rods but I mean like the rods breaking off instead of streching when something breaks and/or gets stuck, because it just looks weird when rods get stuck and you keep driving around.

[Bobo00711]

"Collision physics, more deformation of the car when crashed

dust/dirt - effects."

The game is not finished, it's a beta , it's normal =_=
You can read something like "THE GAME IS ONLY A BETA" when you leave the game and "i make this game on my free time" or something like this.

If you want you can send your 3D model to the develloper... >_>

[c--b]

If you want you can send your 3D model to the develloper... >_>

Indeed, I made the Toyota AE86 because there wasn't a rear wheel drive vehicle in the game, pricorde accepted it and now it's in the game officially (With my name in the credits).

I'm certain that pricorde would accept a 3d model if it suited the game.

[tommyverceti]

ive just downloaded the v 0.31 and it DOSENT WORK
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!

[Stigern]

ive just downloaded the v 0.31 and it DOSENT WORK
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!

It works just fine for me. But, the boats was kind of dissapointing, but ill guess it will get better in later versions!

[c--b]

ive just downloaded the v 0.31 and it DOSENT WORK
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!

There's now a small update on the news page, download that, paste it into the RoR 0.31 folder and let it overwrite what it needs to.

Then follow the instructions in the readme again, it should work.

[Nonexistant]

I'm buying a new computer with 1gb of RAM and a real nice processor... one of the reasons is so that I can PLAY this awesome looking game!

[tommyverceti]

Woo Hoo It Works!!!!!!

[leon kennedy]

what 0.31 is out BO-YEA
*EDIT*
noooo... setup thing dosent work

[Amynue]

Works for me :)
But how to spawn boat in to the wather:confused:

[ericman666]

best game I have ever played.

[ericman666]

boats are already in water. just drive to them, get out, and get in the boat.

(ENTER at full stop)

[Beakless]

I really hope they fix the eroplane for version 0.31...

And I STILL think that Soft bodies are the way forward... somehow mixed with endrophin...on the PS3. (Fingers crossed!)

Edit: holy hell! 31 is OUT!!!!! DOWNLOAD!!!

[leon kennedy]

well if u want to get a boat in the water cause u have taken it out to far and capsized it or something

just get the rescue vechile spawn a boat dosent matter wihich one and then just tow it 2 the water thats wat i did

[Beakless]

I do have a problem with the physics in this game, I find that cars become 'stuck' very easily in this game, for example, i'm on a raod and loose control on a bridge, the car goes over the barrier...now I expect the capr to hit the ground but instead, the wheels become lodged in the bridge.:confused:

?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ???????????????????????

[leon kennedy]

yea that happens but atleast it dosent freeze

[Nonexistant]

WOW! I downloaded it on a really good computer... and it was AWESOMELY AWESOME!


I played it for 5 hours straight. :)


I love it except for these few things about it:

-only one type of airplane. (would be cool if somebody made an airplane mod.. or even a helicopter!! :D )
- you walk too slow(I know that you walk at a realistic speed... but it just isn't very fun walking at a realistic speed. :) )

that's all!

[Stigern]

Actually, there are some other airplanes made by the community. And it can be found in the rigs of rods respitory.

EDIT!

Forums for RoR are now open!
http://forum.rigsofrods.com/index.php

[leon kennedy]

man this threads dead but not offically but ror is a good game

[Stigern]

It will be more active when there`s an update for RoR comes.

[Beakless]

Hang on!, Apparently you can drag the cars/trucks/boats/aroplane with the mouse........... but I can't, am i missing something?, and yes I DO have the latest version!

[Nonexistant]

You have to like click on the car's wheel or something.

Thanks Stigern, I didn't realize anybody made some airplane mods.

[leon kennedy]

you have to click on a joint (like a wheel or where two rods join) but be careful with boats because you can sink them and try not to send a car to high or it might crash.

[Dj Demetrius]

It's fun to get a small car and then toss it really high in the air, and then watch it get crushed when it hits the ground :)

[bonehead07]

finally version 0.32a is released! Here are the new features taken from the site:

* New installer package
* Smooth roads
* Tons of new vehicles, sorted by category, thanks to all the contributors!
* Different spawn points for trucks, airplanes, boats, and loads
* Experimental vegetation, thanks to Thomas
* Upgraded objects model, LUA scripting, and mission support capability
* Update to Ogre 1.4.3
* Many other features and bugfix

[pengirules]

And it still doesn't work. Stupid laptop. *gets out massive hammer and pounds laptop in to submission* "NO! Please! I can't take it anymore! AAAAAAAAARGH!"

[Amynue]

Yeah!!! :d

[Beakless]

Hang on, hang on. How do you use the mouse in-game. I still don't understand how you move cars and shit in-game...

[Farbror Fazer]

Why don't we have a Big Rigs discussion? :p I actually think some people would enjoy it :)

On topic : I'm too lazy to get this :(

[Maltor124]

On topic : I'm too lazy to get this :(

You should never be too lazy to play Rigs of Rods. It is my dream vehicle simulation... I am in heaven with the new release, can't wait to start playing. Downloading now...

[edthefirst]

You should never be too lazy to play Rigs of Rods. It is my dream vehicle simulation... I am in heaven with the new release, can't wait to start playing. Downloading now...

Agreed. I just feel like the softbody for the cars are still too giggly. The car always seems to wobble like it were a jello car ;) . But I still love this game to death. :D

[razer]

I have it, and I can never get a truck vs car/plane vs car etc. whats wrong?

[Muntu]

I have no idea what's so great in this... IMO it sucks

[Beakless]

I have it, and I can never get a truck vs car/plane vs car etc. whats wrong?

What do you mean? Do you mean you can't put a car in the plane? Cos I have the same problem... It always comes out during take-off...

[muffinmonkey]

I can't make it do anything much

and why is everything made of gelatin?

also, to throw things about, you have to be inside a vehicle

[Maltor124]

The reason Rigs of Rods is amazing is because it could very well be the next-generation of vehicle simulation. Every vehicle in RoR is 100% physically simulated, and it certainly shows in some negative ways(jiggle effect), however, whenever I play another driving game after playing Rigs of Rods for a while, it just doesn't feel realistic enough, the driving mechanics just seem...off.

Sure Rigs of Rods definitely still needs a lot of polish in the way of graphics and sound, etc., but that doesn't mean it's not pretty revolutionary.

I guess it's sort of a love or hate thing, though. You'll either say, "Whoa, look at these physics! I'm never going back," or, "Wow, this is boring and ugly." I'm just one of the people who love it, but it can get pretty boring at times. Needs AI drivers, and I wish he'd release online MP. That would win.

[Amynue]

Thank you Maltor for saying that!

[Maltor124]

Thank you Maltor for saying that!

It's the truth.

Off-Topic: Nice graphics card you just got. I envy you.

[razer]

What do you mean? Do you mean you can't put a car in the plane? Cos I have the same problem... It always comes out during take-off...
Trucks also never hit cars and more!

[Stigern]

I just love the way RoR works, it's like when I defy the laws of physics I get punished. And crashes off the road. :D

[GreyMario]

:D getting

Lol, two patches.

Edit: Wow, I just noticed that was a complete waste of post. Well, Let me be more productive. I wish there was collisions online.

[Amynue]

I wish there was collisions online."There are no truck-to-truck collision, nor locking (but we are working on that one)"

"There are no truck-to-truck collision, nor locking (but we are working on that one)"

Now that's better.

[Cries]

Tried the multiplayer. It's so damn funny :D

[OkumTheLostNinja]

On my uncles computer (The one I use for RoR.) I crashed on front of someone and they thought that RoR had Truck to truck collision so he turned and crashed!

Rigs of Rods 0.33d (http://repository.rigsofrods.com/files/RoR-0.33d-Setup.exe) (Network Edition) for Windows, with network fix.
Full download (no patch version available).

"Most of the network problems have now been fixed, so I re-release 0.33 in version 0.33d. This release includes some additional bugfixes to 0.33c (minor sound, graphics, map and vehicle fixes) so you are all encouraged to switch to the new version 0.33d.

No patch version of 0.33d will be available. Only the full download. As this update concerns only broadband network gamers, I don't think this will be a problem.

Enjoy!"

[Cries]

Amynue, you're so god ****ing damn uber!
You know everything, you're always up to date, you post the coolest games, your threads are awesome... Who are you??? O.o

Thanks for all the things you contributed to the community!


Ahem...


Downloading the patch.

[dsfargeg]

Why is this such a system hog even though the graphics are reminiscent of a 10 year old game with shaders?

[Amynue]

Amynue, you're so god ****ing damn uber!
Well I didn't know about that......I am surprised :p


Who are you?F-M forum was launched 10 months ago and there is only 883 members.
I'am a physics lover like we all.........there is not too many of us and I think that we should help each others.

Thanks for all the things you contributed to the community! No problem!

Why is this such a system hog even though the graphics are reminiscent of a 10 year old game with shaders?Physics processing.

[edthefirst]

Why is this such a system hog even though the graphics are reminiscent of a 10 year old game with shaders?

Well at least on max it doesn't look like a ten year old game.

[OkumTheLostNinja]

My new avatar is about when I crashed in RoR then that happened...it looks like a drag renault. :p

[OkumTheLostNinja]

Well Odellus...





"Airplane autopilot, with instruments approaches
Enhanced airplane propeller model (multi-element blades)
Tropospheric modeling of the atmosphere
Enhanced keymap and joystick configuration
Custom particle effects (to make firefighters happy :-)
Enhanced map"


Copied and pasted. Like Loplop said.

[Loplop]

Copy and past0red lol sry had to, some cool new ve-hi-clees!

[kevinmce]

There are some great new maps, and there are sooo many new vehicles being developed on the forum.

Some are of a very high standard. The great thing is this game is capable of producing very high detail models with the bonus of a great and unique physics engine.


I have made vehicles such as the tower crane and recently the P38 airplane and i can say that when you just build things from original blueprints its amazing how close to the real thing it behaves.

IMO its the best game i have ever played. If and when multilayer contact is introduced it opens a whole new dimension to the game.

[pyromir]

can someone please upload the game somewhere in a zip file the installation file doesn't work for me it gets to the MSI v2 to redistribute rigs of rods then it just stops and freezes.

[pyromir]

got it working but the configureater crashed on me while i was setting up the controls now there are no controls set up at all.
edit: sorry for the double post.
How come every new build that comes out the game runs worse and worse and worse not oncehas the framerates improved. Even on the lowest setting i get 1-3 fps.

[Amynue]

How come every new build that comes out the game runs worse and worse and worse not oncehas the framerates improved. Even on the lowest setting i get 1-3 fps.For me new versions runs ~1,3x faster :cool:

[OkumTheLostNinja]

Same. I get around 15 fps.

Edit: Pyro, you need a strong computer for this, not some crappy laptop that can't even run runescape. No offense.

[edthefirst]

Yes. This is awesome.

[What?]

Im liking all the new maps! It runs on a mighty 16 FPS on a good day on my noble machne.

[Odellus]

Lol, laptop with bloom and the cool sky I get ~ 30 FPS.

[pyromir]

Same. I get around 15 fps.

Edit: Pyro, you need a strong computer for this, not some crappy laptop that can't even run runescape. No offense.

I dont have a crappy laptop.My computer used to run this game just fine on the medium settings now it runs like shit on the lowst settings.

[Odellus]

I dont have a crappy laptop.My computer used to run this game just fine on the medium settings now it runs like shit on the lowst settings.

Haha, got owned.

[Skibiliano]

For me new versions runs ~1,3x faster :cool:

The newest version gave me the LOWEST framerate i've ever seen.
All settings on low.
0.1 fps, yes, 10 seconds per 1 frame.
and i can run half-life 2 on medium settings.
at version 0.30 it was like 20-40 fps.

[OkumTheLostNinja]

Well it works fine on my uncles computer, i'm gonna test it on mine now.

Runs great! I even get to use caelum. I love this graphics card.

[stuntman021]

Damn, no go on PowerPC processors.

[psygo]

Yeah, I'm sorry to bump this, but I need some help, and I' banned from the forums.

I tried making complex wheels, but they keep exploding.

Here, that's how the lines look:

[Amynue]

RoR 0.35 is out!

New features:

* Turbojet physics: includes a superb Mig-25 made by Adeodat to illustrate this. And checkout the optional heat haze effect if you have a good video card... Airbrakes physics are also added to tame the beast.
* Large terrains: you can make terrains as big as 327 km x 327 km. A 100 km x 100 km terrain is included, which is 1:1 scale of the Grenoble region (France). Perfect for airplanes!
* A new physics operator that allows to rigidify beams where trussing is difficult or impossible. Useful for landing gears and other complex and delicate structures.
* Improved cameras: better chasing camera, better fixed camera for airplanes, better inside camera (btw, some modders got the wiki wrong and this breaks the new inside camera - check if your "camera" statement follows the wiki specifications). You can also specify rigidity parameters for internal camera.
* Mesh wheels: the ultimate wheels graphics quality is now possible. A cool Dodge Charger beta version by Bonehead demonstrates its use. More to come later in this department...
* Night maps (beta), to be used in Caelum mode, and changing the time to night time.
* A new, textured character by kevinmce, with more to come later...
* A monorail by Thomas, a formula one by Akoss, über cool foaming Panther firefighting vehicles by Lenni, oh my!

Optimizations:

* Maps and vehicles loading cache: this will reduce loading time to almost nothing. Note that the first time you will start RoR after installing it, it will build the cache, and this will take some time, so don't panic at the black screen and let it finish. The next starts will be faster.
* Texture compression: massive switch to the DXT compressed textures. This saves tons of video memory, and now RoR runs easily on a video card with 128MB of VRAM. Modders are encouraged to use this format too for their releases. See the wiki.
* Simplified configurator.

Bugfixes:

* Less shaking overall. Now the only shaking you will see is either in very large terrains (we are looking at it), or for vehicles that have a physics stability issues (lightly built frames or link resonance)
* Various bugfixes...

[What?]

ABSOLUTELY EPIC! Cant wait to try this one out!

[leon kennedy]

woo ive played the latest and im getting at least 10-15fps on my comp

[uitham]

it says i have around 1-5 fps,but i dont have lagg at all XD.its like 500 fps while it says that!

[bastimaramba]

i downloaded but yeah when it starts i choose a map then it freezes then exits help?!or maybe i will just try on my bros pc when he gets his graphics card back

[Loplop]

Yeah do that, it needs a good system this game.

[edthefirst]

Wow. This game is going a long way since the first version. I love it! Thanks to Amynue the magical download god of F-M for bringing the new version to my attention!

[Loplop]

Yeh first build i played of this game was 0.30 :P alot is different now especially the new Mesh models :D

[sheepy123]

I got 0.27 somewhere...

[Loplop]

I got 0.27 somewhere...

lol, i first started lookin at it around 0.25 but knew my system couldnt run it... Celeron D 2.66 1gb of cheap ram and an 8mb intergrated gfx card = less than 2 fps, but once i got my new computer i started playing it :D

[stone555]

I get around 140 FPS in game with 6 Non maskable filtering.. Although ever since 0.35 it seems to crash in multiplayer games about every 10 minutes..

[Loplop]

lol. Srysly tho my system runs crysis on high at around 40 and i get 35 in RoR, so your computer must be a octocore intelmd QXPhenom with Tri Slifire 3870x2 ultras. Anyone like my compilation of comp parts? lol

[zeldagamer00]

Downloading this game...
Im going to uninstall tron 2.0 to make extra room for this:cool:
i had RoR 0.33c and i set up my ps1 wheel so ill reuse it with this new version
Who knows i may download that borg cube (even though im not a startrek fan:p )

[Virtue]

[Loplop]

Its worth the bump. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0buZB3Qv-M

[OkumTheLostNinja]

Watched it. Liked it. Used it. Had fun.

I think its time to give rigs of rods an official review here on fun motion.

This thread was the first place i heard of rigs of rods and i dont know what i would have done with all those hours ive spent since building vehicles.

And now as RoR has started to match the likes of Half life 2 in terms of eye candy i think it should be added to the official list of reviewed games here on Fun Motion.

Heres my latest project...

[kevinmce]

Hey, just wanted to bring rigs of rods back to the table here, there have been some really great additions to the vehicle building team.

Have a look at Lifters latest achievement, A fully functional CH-47 Helo: YouTube Video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJIGcgBR53c)

Have a look at some of his other vids to see other advancements.

[ENWOD]

I haven't been on RoR for a while now... Bloody love it!

Some good models too kevinmce, i've used a few of them and loved them ^_^

Shall have to check out the heli and get my arse back on ror.

[Jow3st]

Hey, I don't know if anyone else has this problem, but I have lag when
I play this. Is there any graphics setting that I an get to or anything like that?:confused:

Uhh, maybe it's just your computer being too crappy? What GPU/CPU do you have? Not like I'm an expert, I haven't even tried Rigs of Road, although someone else might be able to further assist you...

Well, I have a really old one. (As in old, 2005 era CPU/GPU). I don't know if it matters, but I'm trying to buy an Nvidia 8800 GTX card. Everywhere I look, they're sold out. .:(

You could get an 8800 GT...they're dirt cheap now. But it also won't help you much if you have a bottleneck '2005 era' CPU.

[psygo]

RoR should be played with a quad core.

[MACINTOSH USER]

ROR IS FOR MAC?! *happy dance*
*downloading over 100MB at 70KPS* ç_ç [||____________]

[RayzaB]

Aw man.
I cant even make a truck go forward.:o

[kevinmce]

The most important thing for this game is a good CPU, a good Dual core is best, as the game still only uses 2 cores.

As for the download size, the new 0.36 version will have a main download that should be smaller than the current, and you will be able to stream packs of vehicles and updates automatically with the new version...


0.36 may be one of the most feature packed versions yet!

[Shinji]

what are the changes in this version?
sry, I didn't follow the blog that carefuly.

[Nosbox]

what are the changes in this version?
sry, I didn't follow the blog that carefuly.

The new features are numerous, the most visible are:

Environment map effects (chrome effects)

Shader support (with damage map)

Completely new ground friction physics: now more realistic than ever

Custom sounds

Better support of flexbodies

New user interface

Files reorganization : now all the files you need to access are in your "My Documents\Rigs of Rods" directory - no more in the Program Files directory.

And much more...

Taken from the blog.

[Cries]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa!!!!!
Heeeell Yeah! I Have Waited For So Frickin' Long For This Thing To Come Out!
Today I Deinstalled Prince Of Persia Warrior Within And Was Frustrated!!

I am very happy.

THOSE ARE SOME REAL IN-DEPTH PICTURES YA GOT THERE.

[Colescheffler]

Yay, 9 minutes left, and then I can play! I haven't played RoR for months, and I will be able to play it good now.

[IDeA]

Did they finally add vehicle collision?

[gompasta]

Did they finally add vehicle collision?

They already had some... But only for some things. When the creator added a collideable face. I dunno but that's all i know :rolleyes:

[Cries]

Honestly, I am disappointed. The controls are f'''ed up, the game crashes and I can't manage to click the "On" buttons on the planes for they are offscreen. Oh and the cameraview sucks due to the incontrollable little guy.

The graphics and models are neat, though. But it's no fun without proper framework.

Those all sound like problems caused by improper setup.
Be disappointed, but not in the game, for it works fine if you don't screw up your settings.
Controls are a little weird, but not f""ed up - you just have to get used to them, like anything else.

[IDeA]

I can't manage to click the "On" buttons on the planes for they are offscreen. Oh and the cameraview sucks due to the incontrollable little guy.

1. You could, you know, change the resolution?
2. Wasd and mouse for controling the little guy, and in vehicles camera is movable by holding the right mouse button and moving the mouse.

[Cries]

1. I did, you know? Several times. Worked with the last version.
2. I know. Very frustrating and worse than in the last version.

You are right. But they didn't happen before and they also don't have anything to do with the changes. The version I have is practically unplayable for it crashes and has bugs.

I dunno why this happened but even after changing the settings a several times nothing was solved.

I did not say that the game itself ist bad. I love it. But I really like the previous version more for it was much easier to handle. (The plane is unsteerable, to mention one problem).

[Batux1995]

Seems neat,but would it work for slower computers?I hope this wont be laggy or physics will be friggy for me...

[Duhya]

Will it work for a computer without a videocard, i only have a shitty built in one.

[ShnitzelKiller]

[Woobies]

Im sure it will work, its not TOO graphics intensive, you just need a good processor.

[ShnitzelKiller]

Um... I start out with a guy in a truck, I can walk through its walls, and it is completely uninteractive aside from basic character movement.

[BerkleyJ]

It isn't particularly made for people who just want to "get it and go"

and version 0.36.1 came out on the 22nd

[Duhya]

Hm configuration wont start up and the thingy crashes and keeps saying that i need to install directx update or sumthing. When i go to the site it gives me (microsofts site) the page isnt there!!!

That's even better than Burnout Paradise! That also shows how huge potential that game already has. And it's free!

By the looks of it, he hasn't released it yet.. :\

If only the game was less glitchy.

D:

The game is awesome though. I love the deformation on the cars.

Although whenever you crash a car, there is a chance it may crash your computer too.

[IDeA]

Oh damn, this has gotten way better since the last time I checked it, I especially like vehicle to vehicle collisions. Are there any planes with the same type of destruction model as the cars yet?

[samysam]

DAMN IDeA it's been awhile!

But i agree with you so much haha
i hadn't played this game in awhile and then i saw these new update and i was all like :eek:

[spikerdude111]

i know its bump but....

bad news guys...
the author of burnside had removed it!!!!!!!!:(
theres a crappy "solar powered" version but its looking ugly.

bumbiddy-bump-bump, but yeah i love most of the cars, burnside is the best for me because it has the best crash-partical-things and looks more realistic when crashing
and yes i do admit i play ROR for the physics crashes

yeah i know what you mean, it takes a lot of getting used to, i just press buttons to see what happens LOL

[Wrestler#1]

Yeah the steering is pretty bad but you have got to admit that the game is really good for its price ;)

Btw: Thanks for reminding me for this game

[dAnnY24]

i dont think its the steering that is bad but just that the acual game is pretty advanced and hard

[Colescheffler]

Yeah, you need something other than a keyboard, because when you steer/accelerate, you are turning fully to the left/right or slamming on the accelerator/brake. I use my 360 controller, with the Right/Left triggers for Acc./Clutch, and the left stick for braking. It works great.

[dAnnY24]

cool, i always wanted to try tht out

Can you use a regular 360 controller on a PC?

[dAnnY24]

yea i think all you need is the cable that plugs into ur xbox from controler

[Colescheffler]

Can you use a regular 360 controller on a PC?
If you have a wireless controller, you will need a receiver (http://www.amazon.com/Xbox-Wireless-Gaming-Receiver-Windows-Pc/dp/B000HZFCT2) for it, but if you have a wired controller you can just plug it in! I prefer just getting the receiver because you can have up to four controllers hooked up at once and use the mics in-game!

Sadly, for some reason, it doesn't. :(

I think it's because the Play 'n Charge cable only sends power, and not data. The controller is probably still communicating wirelessly when it's plugged in to your 360.

It was probably just charging it, and you have to configure the controls before you play with it.

well i read online that in fact you need a receiver for the wireless so it would be configured to your computer

[Colescheffler]

I know you need a wireless receiver; I've already stated that, but 1. you need to install the drivers, and 2. you need to configure the controls specifically for Rigs of Rods.
