My tip is just dont play GE:S until beta3 comes out. You'll love your choice to wait in the wings for the ultimate goldeneye release to hit PC

I think a lot of people are thinking along the same lines. Beta 1.1 is great, and it was a lot of fun, but now we've seen the improvements that are being made, and it's hard to stay interested in the original (especially after all this time). When Beta 3.0 comes out though, there'll definitely be a big spike in the population again. People still love Goldeneye and the devs here are doing great work. Ya just can't expect everyone to swing by everyday when there's a lull like this.

oh DAMNIT i was about to get on and look for you guys, but then i remembered i had just reformatted. please tell me beta 3 will be easier to install, what a pain in my ass it was for 1.0 and 1.1. not to mention i have to fnid my orange box disc now *sigh*

[Mark [lodle]]

how is double clicking on an exe "pain in the ass"?

[PeskySaurus]

eh? i had to download some wierd thing on source then in stall this then in stall that THEN downlaod v1.1 then install that and enable this.

something fucked, i don't remember. if it's just double clicking an .exe i must be following old instructions

1) Download beta 1.0
2) Run it, and it'll install a folder in your Steam folder
3) Download beta 1.1
4) Run it, and it'll install the new version in your Steam folder
5) Open Steam, go to your games, run 1.1f

You shouldn't need to do anything with source or enable something. It's pretty much just opening those two files, and letting them work their magic.

...Open Steam, go to your games, run 1.1f...

I thought everyone was running 1.1h?

[Bissrok]

I thought everyone was running 1.1h?

There's a 1.1h?

Holy shit, there is. And patch G fixes that crash on map changes. Badass.

Well, that confirms that I'm using the latest.
Didn't even know there were multiple letters, though that makes sense.
The more you know...

he was talking about the SDK base i guess.
Well, that's something you need for every source mod and valve did it that way, so don't blame the GES team for this.

Yes, I was wondering if anyone played anymore because it seemed that most of the time, all 8 or so servers would be empty.  But of course, it seems people actually play during weekends (or at least Friday nights).  Can't wait for beta 3, guys, it's looking incredible! 

By the way, I've been lurking the forums here for over a year.  I usually check in to see how the development goes.  I'm a programmer in web development coding in ASP.NET, AJAX/JavaScript, and SQL mostly.  I work for an insurance company in Nebraska and I'm 22.

I just played a few fun games with about 4-6 people over 3-4 games/levels last night. However, that hit detection is fucking horrendous, I've splattered people with the automatic shotgun (blood flying as if it was quake 3) and nothing happens and bam I die from PP7. Having heard the developers say the hit detection is fixed in 3.0 does make it less exciting to play this game when LTK is gamble not skill. I mean come on, I shot that fucker like 10 times and we were all under 80 ping. (old rant i know)

You should wait a little while and play Beta 3. : )

Shotguns were tweaked a week ago and they are quite competent at close range and rather savage at point blank.  I had to buff them over 007 to get them balanced, though, since the lead stock is much more rewarding of accuracy skill than they were on N64.

[Sean [Baron]]

Nope, nobody plays this anymore. We are all saddened.
