Thread: Let's create the Coh2.org community's official mod !!!!23 Dec 2014, 06:57 AM The mod already exists. It's called kappatch and not enough play it (me included, sadly). http://steamcommunity.com/groups/Kappatch In: Lobby
Thread: Coh2 Menus are laggy19 Dec 2014, 16:28 PM Jump back to quoted post19 Dec 2014, 15:48 PMpixeldk Hello ladies! Is it me, or are the Company of Heroes 2 Menu laggy like hell? Getting down to 15 fps in the search menu, and that just not good enough when it should be atleast 60! Relic, please do something to this! I have made this obervation too. It is due to the background clips which only run at a max of like 30 fps which caps all menues to that. After I realised this, I renamed the videos which play in the background (or delete them) which unlocks the refresh rate. You can find the video files under /steam/steamApps/common/company of heroes 2/coh2/movies The vlc-player can open the files (.webm) so you can go through them and see if it is one that you need to rename/delete. I'm currently looking for a way to just replace these files with a picture/screenshot but I haven't made any progress. If you remove/rename the files the background will be black but the menues are a lot more responsive and should refresh at the maximum possible frame rate. Let me know if this helps and if you need any more help In: Lobby
Thread: Panzer II Luchs17 Dec 2014, 17:51 PM Jump back to quoted post17 Dec 2014, 17:47 PMgokkel If someone claims that 160/400 is "more than half left" and 160/320 is "10%" then this is plain bullshit, no need to defend him. I'm not defending anyone, I deliver the exact stats. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Panzer II Luchs17 Dec 2014, 17:43 PM Jump back to quoted post17 Dec 2014, 17:11 PMgokkel This is already factually wrong. The P2 has 400 hp the damage of the jackson is 240, IF and that's a big if it hits considering the P2's target size (smaller than the stuart because... (?) ). In: COH2 Balance
Thread: what do i use to watch replays?8 Dec 2014, 03:08 AM Jump back to quoted post8 Dec 2014, 02:50 AMcleetusneck Sorry. I meant how do i watch the replays i download from this site? Hi Cleetusneck. You watch the replays in the game. For this to work you need to place the downloaded replays in the appropriate folder, which is located under /user (your user name)/documents/my games/Company of Heroes 2/playback. Once you moved all files there, they will show up in the replay section of the game (main menue, under watch, then replays). If the replays are older than the current version of the game, the replays will not turn up since only current versions can be watched. There are is a work around however. I hope this helps. Let me know if you need more help. In: New Members
Thread: USF pop cap4 Dec 2014, 23:17 PM There are some units who's pop cap requirement seems too high. 1) For instance the pack-howie costs 480 manpower and will use up 11 pop cap although it should function as a slightly better mortar. That it can also damage vehicles is nice but it's too inaccurate to pose a serious threat. The same goes for the OKW isg. 2) The major needs 5 pop cap (if I recall correctly). 3) IR pathfinders are purely recon units but have a high pop cap requirement. Other than the listed exceptions and maybe one or two that I forgot, I don't see a problem with the pop cap. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Should I buy Recon Support company? or an other commander?19 Nov 2014, 16:02 PM The biggest problem with the commander is that one of the potentially most useful abilities, the recon ability for rifles, is bugged and also so restrictive that it almost never comes into play. Bug 1: The rifleman squad will indefinitely lose the ability once the entity which casts it dies. Reinforcing will not fix this. Restrictions: - not moving - not in combat - in cover or building Add to that that the recon run is worse than the one you get with the major (2 planes pass not just 1) and more expensive. The barrage is probably the best offmap arty in the game but the pathfinders have no other purpose since they lack the sniper rifle. For that they seem a tad overpriced and the pop cap too high. The last ability is in most cases not very helpful since it comes at 7 cps which is mid to late game. 900 manpower for a faction that mainly bleeds manpower is really hard to get. Furthermore you will already have to have at, ergo an uncrewed at gun will not help you much and will just force you to use the drop conservatively to avoid losing the at gun. The fact that the likelyhood of getting zooks with any one squad instead of either thompsons or 1919s is 50% also doesn't help the appeal of the ability. Bug 2: In addition the paras are also bugged and don't receive healing at vet 2. If they come with rifles, they do get 3 instead of 4 and they do not get the "focus fire" (or somthing like that) ability that thompson paras get. If they come with a 1919, they get only 1 instead of 2. They also lack the demo charge but get the light at mine. The m8 is the best thing in the commander. If the commander would work properly it might be underrated, but for how it is, it's low popularity reflects it's quality. In: Lobby
Thread: Kappatch - A minor rebalance mod16 Nov 2014, 16:01 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Nov 2014, 16:53 PMRomeo I think it's a mistake to leave overpowered abilities in place because of underpowered units using them. I believe canister shot should be nerfed but M8 main gun damage increased, for examaple. Here are some other examples that I don't think are game-breaking at all. Greyhound needs more utility through smoke, mines, or a top gunner. Cruzz, already changed the m8 canister . I think the price for the unit is now a tad too high for how it performs overall, especially with the +10 fuel. The main gun was improved to be more along the lines of the stuart. Overall the unit isn't just there for the canister now but it is now a bit weak. A smoke or mine ability or a top gunner might help but it needs to be tested more. Unrelated to the post: I'd like it if more people actually joined the steam group and played the patch. So far I've seen only Bryan, Casp and me in the group chat. http://steamcommunity.com/groups/Kappatch In: Lobby
Thread: Relic, an idea for Volksgrenadier improvement16 Nov 2014, 15:42 PM There is a fundamental problem with the proposal at hand. It is basically an oxymoron: I paraphrase here: "In order to stop one unit from being mass produced, we need to make it more versatile while keeping the thing people are complaining about." When was the last time that added versatility made a unit less appealing? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Kappatch - A minor rebalance mod7 Nov 2014, 09:55 AM --seeing problems with it ++agree ??there could be a potential problem Jump back to quoted post7 Nov 2014, 02:11 AMBartonPL - Make T34 a little better vs infantry cuz it really sucks now, depends much on RNG --We should first thoroughly test the increased fire rate before making further changes. - Make Panzer 4 a little worse vs infantry cuz it really shreds soviet inf ++This could be something to look at - Sturmpios should have reduced DPS and increased survivability like received accuracy or armor increase ??substituting damage for survivability will allow Sturmpios to close the gap easier. - Panzerwerfer and Katiusha should be cheaper - Make katiusha fire all rockets at once per barrage (like calliope, no breaks) --Artillery should be effective but not spammable because it makes for stale and uninteresting gameplay. - Panzerfaust should be unlocked when T1 is build or BP2 is finished ++I guess by t1 you mean the "Leichte Mechanized Kompanie". - give more DPS to PG's or at least reduce it cost nad reinforce - give PG's a single shreck upgrade for 60 munis (up to 2 upgrades) --single shreck will make them a jack of all trades, which makes amassing the unit very viable. I find DPS ok but maybe one can experiment with it. - remove suppression ability from kubel but increase it's DPS (like for example main gun matches gren LMG DPS and on move it has 50% reduced accuracy) --Gren lmg damage at t0 without ammo cost seems like an ill-advised idea. The Kubel is also the only early non doc form of suppression. - increase health for tanktraps to like 1000 or maybe even more, and give demo charges a buff vs tanktraps ??OKW wire/tanktraps are already a problem to deal with. Furthermore only soviets have access to demos (doctrinal for USF). I like the idea of making them a bit more viable. -increase health on forward structures like bunkers, trenches so they won't get destroyed by 3 AT shots --The reason the health was reduced in the first place was because bunker were hard to counter and allowed you to substitute field presence with a bunker. Bunkers also have no pop-cap associated with them which allows them to be spammed (this happened in team games a lot before the change). - make better 222 main gun vs infantry and increase it's upgun to like it was before - 70 muni might be something to look at - remove this line barrage from stukas and let it fire like normal other arty interesting idea - change cost of Ost and soviet arty (ML-20 and LeFH) to 400MP/50fuel and let each barrage costs 5 muni interesting idea - give volks sandbags to Ost grens, PG's and pios --Giving the ability to buld sandbags to every Wehr unit seems really ill-advised. As an experiment it might be interesting to give it to pios. In: Lobby
