Yeah! Support QRF and have amazing fun! (They are really nice players, by what I've seen on their "QRFclan"-YouTube channel, some amazing CAS... :) )

Vietnam and Normandy can't be compared really. The latter being (mostly) a one-man thing. Ane in fact, there's a new release on the way. The only reason Normandy isn't played right now, is because there's only one map, not because ppl don't want to play it.

And why Vietnam isn't played as much is because many ppl haven't updated to Beta 2, not because they don't want to play.

Well i just had a good time on a server running vietnam but there was only a maximum of 12 ppl playing so it was more of just running around trying to find something to shoot. I wish ppl would get on board with this update. Who doesn't like hueys and napalm ?

Yes, Most of them dont know how to update by hand. They Need an updater or a exe file. Zip Files are the worst things they can get. I think, many of the players have downloaded the files, but they dont know what to do next.

PRTA run a mapvote yesterday, IaDrang won. Server lost 35 people, I had to runnext, server was full again. It seems it lost some of it's popularity, is a bit overplayed since it's release and some people haven't updated yet. If you put this together, I think you know why servers are not picking these maps in the rotation.

I'm pretty sure you lost 35 people because they haven't updated to Beta 2 yet, not because they didn't want to play. The same thing happens on NEW, when they switched to Vietnam.

Could be, but then I find it weird that it won the mapvote, cause I think the people voting for it know about the update . Anyway, is there a way we can make sure they update? Maybe make PR only launch able threw the auto updater?

Ia Drang was also in Beta 1, so sure, they can vote for it and not know about the update (or think they updated when in fact they didn't or it didn't work).

Perhaps servers should put something in the servermessage about Beta 2... in the hopes ppl will actually read it.

Is it possible to send the forummembers a message that there is a new beta?

Most of the casual gamer are not activ or registerd in forum/community.
So there is a clear reason why this happens or. ;)

The "publics" get Information about that over Moddb or the mainpage of PR.
And if that news is no big one and dont spread around you will have a lot of player that dont know about it.

Because of that i would suggest to implement a working autoupdater for all PR content in the executable .exe
(.bat) or so. That includes that we dont need to wait any more for 1/2 years or more until a patch or hotfix gets out.

Even liddl code shit could be fixed without any information or something. Perfect if a repository like svn or so is on the backend for version control.

Only trap could be the qualitymanagment but when you can fix such problems quick they are also not such a problem.

o_O wow... 35, just because of their Beta 1 (I mean, who the **** would leave the awesome PRTA server just when it's going to run La/Ia Drang, best PR:V map??? :p ;) would be crazy.)

I never played beta2 because I can't find a server with a vietnam map running. I hope that vietnam will be played in 1-2 weeks.

Well most of the people seem to prefer Kozelsk and Fool's Road over de 'Nam maps, they are thinking on a level I can't reach......

There are several servers containing "vietnam beta 2" in their name. Just join them and hope for a vietnam map (then try to contact an admin (sb. with server-mapswitch-rights) for the wish, or a vote).

They get voted away everytime because people called them overplayed because other people call them so. :wink:

Please, put Vietnam in some rotations, will ya? I don't buy the "overplayed" bit when we still have servers that constantly play Muttrah, Kokan, and Fallujah. I just got back after being away for a few months and would love to play PR:V.

That would be the best thing. Small fixes being auto updated when you start the game.
