[Rank Test 1.]

Thanks, I'll double check windows firewall. As to the mastery rank, it was quite easy (as I would expect for a level 1 test) once I could actually see the targets, which disabling bloom seemed to allow. :)

 

I have a number of bug reports and suggestions to fill out when I'm less tired though for the disconnect issue, and some other miscellaneous annoyances. :)

Hi Airwolfen,

 

Thanks! Yeah, I'll try sending in a support ticket. I understood that the room was supposed to be white, so I do hope you're right about the bloom disable. :)

 

I also watched a sample video of the trial being run, and it'd be a lot more doable if it looked like the video, rather than being in a simulation of standing under stadium lights in a white-out blizzard. :)

 

But yeah, dunno about the hang. Never had that happen before. The progress bar went to 100%, and instead of dumping me into the trial, things sorta just stopped responding in the game. It's annoying that I have to wait a day for problems/failures that aren't because of normal player gameplay performance. :P

 

I port forwarded which allowed me to (unreliably (maybe 40-50% success rate)) connect to/receive connections from some of those players. That was better than the 100% failure rate before. I can look into uPnP, and my firewall already has the appropriate exceptions as far as I know.

So, this is my third attempt at taking the test. Failed it twice.

 

First attempt: Everything was completely white except the brown crates were slightly less white then everything else. Couldn't see any of the enemies unless they were right next to me.

 

Second attempt: Adjusted brightness to almost zero and upped the contrast to a bit past mid. Everything was still completely white except the brown crates were slightly less white then everything else. Couldn't see any of the enemies unless they were right next to me.

 

Third attempt: Found a post somewhere that suggested turning off bloom and color correction. Went to see if that would work in regards to making things visible. Upon attempting the test a third time, the game froze on the loading screen and I had to ungracefully kill it via the task manager. Even though the test never started, your servers counted this as a failed attempt and I have to wait another day to try again.

 

Very frustrating. On top of that, I have friends in Europe who can never seem to join a session with me, or who get dumped out of an active session when it actually works... Other friends who can't play because the game always crashes to desktop randomly, but especially when trying to join a session...

 

Just a FYI, I'm using an ATI Radeon 6970HD to play the game. The normal missions display just fine.
