HI

There are no hackers prebuilt when i buy hacker truck in chinese

[caltor]

Hey, I have that problem too. When I build the $3000 hacker truck (which says there are pre-built hackers that come with it) there are no hackers in it. Also, I was wondering if anyone can help me with a lagging problem I have. I have a laptop, and even in a 1v1 solo play math against AI, the game lags. The requirments for the game are:

- Windows XP, Me, 2000, or 98 (I have Windows XP Pro)
- 800MHz or faster (when plugged in, my laptop has 1500MHz, it is also a Pentium M)
- 128 MB of ram (480 MB I have)
- 8x or faster CD/DVD drive (I don't know where to find that info)
- 1.4 GB of free space (I have the requirements there)
- DirectX 8.1 compatible vidoe card (I don't know where to find that info)
- DirectX 8.1 compatible sound card (I don't know where to find that info either)

When I ran the EAsy System Info thing that came with the game, when I clicked the requirements tab, there were all check marks. So it seems to think that my computer is good enough spec wise, but it still lags in even 1v1 Solo play. I do disable the wireless, and there are no other programs running when I play the game. I have it on the medium resolution in game play. There are no additional checkboxes selected for the detail settings. The particle cap adjustment is all the way to the bottom, and yet it doesn't want to play smoothly. If anyone has any suggestions, please help me out, cause I can only play for about 10 minutes, and the game starts to lag and I have to exit.

Thanks, Caltor

Ya i have that problem to maybe vanguard will have that fixed in PR 8.0.

[Bob]

Vanguard removed them in 7.0, so as to limit the number of hackers you can have on the board at the same time. An economic thing.

Ever since that happened, I rarely use the hacker truck anymore.

[Soul]

Oh then change wat it says for it when u chose to buy it so it won't confuse ppl.

I put half of my hackers in the truck and the other half in the center unless i'm the infantry gen then i put them all in the truck.

It's being changed as we speak (or it's already been doen). VG is changing all the tool tips for the units the PR team added that have stuff wrong in any way (grammer, spell, misleading info...)

[Soul]

That's good news.

[00 Nobody]

Hey, how come your name is different here than in thw WGs?

[Jsmooth13]

I'm actually going to ask VG to remove the truck anyway.

[Bob]

I wouldn't. The truck gives people the option to have a mobile hacker force, if they want one. I would hate to take a strategic option like that out of the game.

That's my two pennies worth of thoughts on the subject.

[Soul]

Well i want to keep the hacker truck i fined it useful when i got no more room for my hackers in the center.

[sath]

or when you hit your head on the ceiling that is the hacker limit

[Vanguard]

Actually they will get a new ability that will make them useful again. The hackers contained inside will be able to hack vehicles outside disabling them and also hack at the sametime.

[Soul]

Sweet .

[Bob]

Very nice.

[Jsmooth13]

it would be, except they have shit armor.

[Bob]

It be a truck, not a tank.

Although, some sort of armored hacker APC / mobile command post isn't a bad thought for use, instead of a truck.

[link.the.first]

Although I think we should up the build limit on hackers if we plan on using them like this.

[Soul]

Hey link cool new sig how'd u do it?


And there already limited to 10 hackers i think it should be 16 hackers instead.
