Title: Asteroids
Post by: asyikarea51 on January 24, 2007, 08:13:53 am

Is it normal for asteroids to not appear in multiplay missions? To be more specific, the coop campaign missions. MediaVPs on 369 official.

:confused: :)

They were probably removed on purpose to keep the lag down.

Or possibly it's just that you've forgotten the -jpgtga flag and they aren't showing up.


Which mission specifically are you expecting to see asteroids in where they aren't appearing?

Quite a number IIRC. The mission where you first find the Boadicea-whatever and Into the Maelstrom (the mission where you're supposed to escort stuff to the Colossus and you have access to a Ulysses/Loki/Perseus I think). Playing campaign mode, then I accidentally Shift-Escaped :lol: (http://209.85.12.236/5024/118/emo/bangwall.gif)

My -jpgtga flag is enabled. Still, if it keeps the lag down, then I have no worries. I'm the host, but my computer's the slower one - my faster internet connection counters it to some extent... :doubt:
