Thats very close to the minimum requirement....you can play the game...but it wont be pretty...

Pretty good though but sometimes it stuttered when too many explosions and units.

What button to use to take screenshots?

Interview with Lead Game Designer Magnus "Soundboy" Jans�n


What are you doing to stop the team stacking?
The system that will be included in the next update is sort of made up by two parts. First, we're introducing a feature that automatically creates balanced teams when you join a server. This is based on rank.

If you don't like the team you are automatically put on (let's say you have friends on the other team or you prefer to play as USSR for instance) you are free to change, and this is where the second part of the system kicks in. If you switch teams and thus unbalance the game, you may end up with a reduction of your Reinforcement Points.

The reduction is dynamic in the sense that it will go away if the teams get balanced (which happens if someone good drops on your team or someone good joins the other team for instance). This only works one-way, so you'll never be worse off by the actions of others.

Let me make this absolutely clear: you will never get less Reinforcement Points by any action other than deliberately making a team switch that unbalances the match! So your points will not be affected if some generals join your team and create huge unbalance (they probably will be though), and your points will not be affected if the two best players on the other team suddenly drops (thereby creating unbalance).


Has team stacking been a big problem?
It's definitely been one of the biggest problems in non-clan games.


Will this fix the problem completely?
Most likely not! But we'll continue to polish and upgrade the system until we're happy with it.

For instance, two clan members playing together are usually more effective than two people that don't know each other, so that's one of the parts of the algorithm that we may have to adjust in future updates. But if we can help it, we'd rather not punish people for playing together with friends since that's a big part of the game!


Do you expect it will have any side effects?
I'm sure that the changes will have a slew of both positive and negative side effects. Hopefully the positive effects will outweigh the negative ones, and hopefully we can fix the negative ones as we move on.

The biggest part for me, personally, when playing in public games is that I don't have to pick a side and then immediately switch if I ended up on a stacked team (yes, I'm a goody two-shoes who does that). Also, I don't have to camp it out as a spectator during the map cycle (and witness in horror as people try to get on the best team) so that I can pick the underdog.

That's a positive side effect, by the way...

Finished the game campaign with Hard difficulty

Eh...can only choose US for campaign?

No skirmish games?

You can play skirmish...You must select multiplayer and then pick bots...yes its a short single player campaign..

Hey are the voice confirmations for the troops and armor really soft compared to the commander's voice, or is there something wrong somewhere ?

hmmm... i dont think so...never realised that...are you talking about the single player? Then i suppose so since unit confirmation come in from like a radio effect thingie.

Looks like this game refuse to let me play. I tried patch 1.004 the graphic stuck problem still presist, then again stabilityfactor 10 also same. Bye bye world in conflict~~~

I think its called radio chatter. Probably done to increase realism so it feels that you really on the battlefield since there so much shooting and explosion going on.

Never crashed on any version for me. IMHO WiC is the most stable and optimized game I ever played. Have you tried updating your DirectX drivers?

Done everything according to the instruction from official WIC forum, even the windows vista hotfix, btu with no luck. What to do, WIC hate my mobo chipset...

I wanna ask is that the CD key bound to the account??

nope...you can have multiple account/profiles with one cd key...so no restriction

WTF.
I added an extra 1GB DDR RAM...the game cannot load and then ctd
WTF.

Was using 2x512MB.

I play with my old pc with 1002 updated.
works fine for me. only after hours of playing, the game will lag a bit.

my experience is hv to fresh install the game then update the latest patch. otherwise the game will go wrong.

btw ...patch 1005 is out !!


my system:
Vista Ultimate
P4 3.0HT
2 GB ram
160 HDD
ATI X300se


thats it...

Why some server i cant access?It said i dont have the map , so where i can download those maps?

Yeap Update 5 is live...they try to reduce team stacking with this new update...

To download the new maps go to massgate download section(if you never download it when logging into massgate in game)

Thanks for the update info frags, hope I'll have time to play this game with you soon. Its the end of the Gregorian calendar year, where things get busy and friends coming over.

Yeah i know...things get busy in the end...but usually we will get some few days off(those who are lucky)...I've not been gaming WiC sometime now...but must check it out soon...they changed the way how we enter public servers...you cant simply pick your side this time...the game balances out teams based on rank now...yet to see how this works.
