If anyone has these problems, you have to edit the App Properties.

Hey skull kid, the fps issue worked out fine forgot to respond. But there is an issue with the ai not working bar when pushed into the CPZ so it seems to cause the HR AI to activate which in response the normal ai decides to work. got any fixes? also the game looks like sh** with everything on max also seems like partical effects for the most part aren't happening/working the only one that works is the armour breaking off?

Hmm... on which arena is this AI bug? I am mostly playing in the TV Studio, but I can't think of any bugs there. I've actually modded the "rwarenat.txt" which tells the game where the AI can drive and not drive. Coupled with the settings set correctly in the "global.dat", which is under the AI section of the "global.dat" file, I can change where the competitors "can" drive and where they can not drive :)

I am patiently awaiting your reply, no rush!
Best Regards,

Hey, while this is a topic, might as well throw my hat into the ring-

I've got the actual game on CD! Put it in, installed it, installed the no-CD patch, made my first bot, went to play on TV Studio... None of the AI move. In fact, they only move when I go into the CPZ. Any fixes/suggestions?

I had this issue recently, I think I fixed it by capping the game's framerate to 60fps but I'm not entirely certain. Give it a go.
also lol at most toxic guy around calling others out on this sh**

What Badger said! I've experienced this issue in other games as well. Some games just doesn't like more than a certain amount of frames per second. If that's not the issue, I will reply later during the day, as I've been up most of the night tonight making a new YouTube video... nighty night!

Bit of a late reply this i know haha, yeah the ai is a bit special on each of the maps and only work once they go into the CPZ's and the house robots kick in seemingly kick starting the opponent ai. Graphic wise the main thing that is missing is the yellow sparks these only show up once every other match so hits with some of the discs and axes do damage but have no feedback.

Thank you.

I can't seem to get either of the games running in windowed mode in DxWnd. It worked fine in say half a year ago… now it just crashes with the Windows crash dialog showing up sending information about the crash to Microsoft.

So, if anybody here knows or has any ideas of what it might or could be, please do not hesitate to reply!

The server could be gone. That usually causes a game to crash.

I'm sorry, but this is a single player game only. With "hotseat" support for two player's with either two gamepads or one keyboard for both.

EDIT: Nevermind, I solved it.

Not checked for a long time and might be remembering wrong. but i'm sure you can select one for the keyboard and one as a controller if you both don't want to use keyboard? Was it an easy fix for the issue you was having?

Yes. I changed some feature that I at the moment sadly don't remember. But I know it was in the "Video" tab of DxWnd, and that it was from SVGA -> Native :)
