Qusetions. I am playing a copy of this game and maybe that is the problem. The game always crashes after an online match when I am returned to the lobby. Second, my player name is player_numbers and not the name I entered in the login screen. Third, the game plays very choppy. Tons of lag. Now I live in North America and that could affect it. Any answers? Anyone? The game is really fun and I want to play more. Awesome work!

after you make an account it assigns you a random player ID when you connect..

contact shu.. let him know what your player name is ans what you want him to change it too..

as far as the disconnecting goes.. I dont know.. that doesnt happen to me.. butg ive only played it online once...

im using the echelon rip from isozone until my retail copy arrives...

1. Regarding "crashes", yup seen it only on the burned version
2. Player_<ID> is always set the first login, then you can PM and I will change it
3. Regarding lag, the game is p2p, that is, you connect to the person that creates the
game so that has nothing todo with where my server is located.
4. A lot of people seems to be on WIFI with high latency, that will add lag to games like this that
are UDP heavy.

Best regards
Shu

yeah i got the echelon version and it laggs but i figured it was because the server is in europe, since offline play is smooth.

@Mech- The server is in Europe yes, but when you play it is p2p, that is, the server is not even involved in the gameplay
