Nexuiz - our favourite browser game

Postby MisterMeister » Sun Jul 01, 2007 6:09 pm

Check this:

On the 1on1 ladder I've just been challenged by a new player who wanted to "get a feel for the game". I told him it would be more sensible to practice 1on1 before starting a match but he wouldn't listen. So I connected to delight and waited ... and waited ... and explained him twice how to join the game, but according to him he "saw" me but couldn't enter the match ...

Eventually I found out that he was clicking on the server name in the ladder server list because he'd mistaken Nexuiz for a browser game ;) And when he finally managed to download it, he didn't even know how to unpack the file - let alone that he didn't know what to do on www.winace.com where I sent him ...

I've just suggested he'd better play a while on the public servers before challenging anyone ...

Happy fragging,

MM

"does winace cost anything?" :-)

Probably a total newbie to computers.

Why WinAce? Every current OS, no matter how sucky, can extract zip archives. Even OS X... Did he have Win98 or what?
1. Open Notepad
2. Paste: ÿþMSMSMS
3. Save
4. Open the file in Notepad again

You can vary the number of "MS", so you can clearly see it's MS which is causing it.

divVerent: Dunno, but I doubt he even knows which OS he's running ;) He didn't know how to unpack, anyway.
