Soldner Demo
   

Are any of you currently playing this? They're on version 2 of the public beta build right now, and while still VERY buggy and unstable, it's obvious they're coming along nicely. I do sort of wish they'd push back the release date so they can improve netcode/stability issues, but it's due out in a few weeks.

Just wondering if anyone besides myself has played this?

Excellent..glad to see I'm not the only one eagerly anticipating this release. Though I wish they'd push it back a couple more weeks. I did see today that they pushed the date back to 5/11 as opposed to 5/4, as was the original release date.

I played 3 games today (In a ROW!! No crashes!!) on a server called "Flob's House". My ping was consistently <25, and played some 2v2 matches. Unfortunately, during the 3rd game, had the dreaded CTD...again...

Hope they get the stability fixed..

I read some negative feedback about this game on the Gamespy forums. Unless someone can make a good case for Soldner, I'll probably just get Joint Operations.

Joint Ops is the new Novalogic one, right?

I'd like to see Soldner in action (and really I want to have a go on the character customisation thingy ), but I've only just built up my new PC and don't really want to bog it down with unstable programs just yet. Any improvements on the demo? And what's the actual gameplay like?

Joint Operations has been delayed.

It may be a good idea to give JoWooD and Wings some time to sort out the technical problems with Söldner. I´m pretty sure they´ll release a real demo when the dust has settled after the unavoidable launch chaos.
They did not communicate properly that the beta demo was only meant to collect infos about problems under heavy server load.

Maybe I'll just miss them both and wait for Battlefield 2.

Wings (developers of Söldner) has released a patch to stabilize v2 of the demo. While still a beta phase (and painfully obvious) the patch has helped out a lot with server side issues.

Many less CTDs now. I used to CTD every time a vehicle killed me. Now it's probably down to 25% of the time. Still some serious lag spikes on some servers. I think the devs are working their arses off to get this thing ready for launch in a week or so. I foresee an unstable launch, though. I have a feeling the servers will be flooded on day 1, and they won't be able to squash all the bugs by then. Hopefully, they WILL get everything straight soon though.

I think the beta is worth trying though, if only to get a feel for the game. There's also some great official forums for the game you may want to check out. I'm looking forward to this game!
