This server requires postional audio to be disabled.

Post by Jack2k5 »

When I go to change this setting, the audio output tab is locked and most settings are unable to to change.

Please don't tell me to run as administrator.

Most audio settings are set in the launcher, not the ingame menu.

You're pointing towards a local file, that doesn't work really well for us :) . Please upload your image to something like imgur: the simple image sharer and then try again :) .

Ive looked at the picture. Sorry but I don't get what the problem is at all? Homepage? register?

What are you talking about exactly?

What software are we talking about that does not look anything like PR.

Just as a quick run through, here's what you should be doing, assuming your installation went well:

1) Open the PR launcher that was installed, make sure that your game is up to date by pressing the little dropdown arrow next to "PLAY" then hit update game. It will do everything for you, including putting PR's version of mumble, which is built into the game now and is no longer needed as a seperate program.

2) Press play, it will prompt you for your account information, which at this point needs to be created if you haven't yet. Follow the instructions and you will start the game.

3) When you go through the intro video, etc, you'll be given the main menu. To play on a multiplayer server, which are typically all hosted by clans, click "deployment", update the server list, and choose a server to join. Typically, go with the lower ping servers, which if you are in the US are HOG (Hardcore Older Gamers) and FCV (Free Candy Van).

4) If there are slots open, join up, otherwise you can use the auto-deploy feature, type in 100 (or max amount of players on that server), and hit "autodeploy". This will try to get you into that server every 5 seconds until a spot opens up.

5) When in game, join up with a basic infantry squad, make sure you have a mic, and follow your squad leader's instructions. Be sure to let them know you're new and that you may need help.

NOTE: I know it's always said, but RTFM (Read the F***ing Manual ). This will help you A LOT, so be sure to give it a read before joining! All other questions veteran players can answer for you!

Hope that helps!

EDIT: Many servers have their own TS, however with mumble built in you just need to start the game and mumble will do the rest for you. For instructions on how to use mumble, go to options in the launcher menu before launching the game itself.
