I bought this game on Friday night via Steam and I have to say I am extremely disappointed so far. Almost as disappointed as I am with ARMA II.
The Multi-Player is the buggiest / worst system I have ever encountered and that is saying something. I have been online gaming since Counter-Strike v1.3.
In the past 3 days, I think I have totaled maybe 2 hours of online gaming. The sad part, is the ammount of time I have spent trying to play it online outnumbers the ammount of time I have actually spent playing it. I seem to get one of multiple continuous errors.
Either, I'll be playing and get a random message saying something to the effect of "you account has been disconnected by the server". Or, I'll get a message saying that I couldn't communicate with the server. Or, it will get really creative and won't even let me sign on with my account saying that the UBI server is down.
So, I have 2 questions. First of all, has it always been like this? This game has been out for around a year, has it always been this F'd up, or is this some patch screw up that just happened to come about right around the time I bought the game?
Second question is does anybody else get a type of artifacting type thing on the screen when you press ESC, or bring up the map in single player. It's only when I play single player. It's weird. It's not an artifacting issue with my GFX card, but that is the only way I can seem to describe it. Actually, I would describe it kind of like an old movie. How you get a 1 - 2 inch solid grey bar that goes from the bottom of the screen to the top.
