Really hope my 4870 is the card which also got fixed.

Edit: It did. Awwwww YEAH!

(Brink Lags) #3

Any news on a console patch for the lag?

(ReturnOfSanta) #4

Nothing for Nvidia 4xx/5xx :\

(GossamerSolid) #5

I hope that they make it so that the scoreboard will show our actual pings soon, I hate this green bar crap…

(ARustyFirePlace) #6

green bar is a result of console porting, it seems.

1+ for ping!

I dunno man, I think I see some improvement. 5770. The graphics effects, deff mean something. Seems like some parts I get higher FPS, some I dont though.

(Ragoo) #9

Nice to see you working hard on fixing everything! :slight_smile:

If only the SDK was announced for the near future I would be perfectly happy with BRINK :wink:

(ARustyFirePlace) #10

he’s talking about nvidia, 5770 is amd…

(Speagles) #11

I just played on the new patch and the ui_fov doesn’t take into account whether or not you are using the adjusted iron sights. I have my ui_fov set to 90 but when I go to use my sites it sets my FOV to 70, essentially making the adjusted iron sights useless.

(kilL_888) #12

dude. i thought youre like a troll cause this sounds too good to be true. so fast and so working. the gridding issue is gone.

i need a gfx card upgrade though. game doesnt run too good on a 4870. but its like a thousand times better than before.

im even having fun against bots, 2on2 though.

awsome. :smiley:

(BigBiker05) #13

Speagles, is it only the adjsuted iron sights? Have you tried normal iron sights, cogs, red dot, etc?

I also had g_fov and ui_fov backwards

[QUOTE=SRS-Kap;295830]Hi all,

This issue has been addressed and will be with you via an update very shortly.

Once you recieve the update, the cvar for changing fov is now ‘ui_fov’ rather than the previous ‘g_fov’.

On a side note, there is no aim assist on the PC version at all. :)[/QUOTE]

(Dr.Ricktofen) #14

Is there no console updates? Hopefully they ewill get to work on it soon.

If not, its looking dark for console users…

(ClickClickBOOM) #15

i ****in love you SD

(acare84) #16

Yes, still having “Nvidia OpenGL driver has lost connection with the display driver” crash after this patch with my GTX 570. :frowning:

(deusex2) #17

Amen to that!

(riptide) #18

Awesome! However does Refuel have sound?!

(Azev2000) #19

Is the FOV issues when using smart and sprinting fixed. This was a major issue that was said to have already been fixed and would be implemented in the second patch.

(riptide) #20

Yes, read the notes… the new command is ui_fov
