Painkiller MP Impressions

[OUTLAWS high ping camper]

Well, I bought it. It won't install on my athlon64 FX-51\windows XP Pro pc...but it did install on my Pent4 2gig\windows 2000 pc.
I sent the error message into the tech support team...I saw that someone else had the same error message as I (when I checked out the Painkiller forums) so I'm certain there's an answer/solution out there. :)
I'd much rather play the game on my "gaming" system. ;)

Oh...yeah...the game rocked! I only played multiplayer FFA (free for all). I don't know what you guys are talking about, when you say there's problems with the netcode.....I thought the game kicked arse.......well at least the map/server I was on did.

I wouldn't hesitate to recomend this game to anyone. :thumbs:

:) I'm gald ur enjoyign it, i'm having some probs with the game all the sudden, it wont launch at all :unsure:
The minor netcode bugs are nothing comapred to ssam, but if they're fixed more people will play more. Hope to cay on the servers HPC once i get the game working again. :wave:

Voosh is fun as hell, but I can't hit crap with the shotgun. The netcode really does need some work for the higher ping people. The best server I can find pings at 150 for me, so hopefully they'll figure out how to smooth it out a little. I can't really see myself putting up with it for very long if they can't improve on it.

[OUTLAWS Tip]

Still playing the demo and waiting on the Multi-player demo before I buck up.
:P

sp is pretty good with a good story line and lottsa enemies to shoot.

The Painkiller 1.1 update is expected to pass QA and be released this Monday, April 19. The update will add a number of features, particularly for enhancing the multiplayer experience. Along with a new map ("DM_Cursed"), the 1.1 update will add Spectator mode, Demo recording and a call-vote system. There are also several minor fixes for bugs and exploits uncovered since the game's launch However, in response to the confusion caused by the vague "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc00000142). Click on OK to terminate the application error" error, we'll be releasing a Quick Fix hopefully within the next 24 hours to address that..
