    I'll give it a shot, looks like it could be fun. The steamaccount that I will be using would be "trademan" if that doesn't work look for "pixelc". Not my account :\

    I really have trouble staying awake right now so I might have to catch you guys in a later game, that is if you guys are still playing by then. I'll be back around like 10pm EST but it's Monday so can't blame you if you're in bed.

    I cant load the game. Every time I try it says, "Cannot load the bootloader DLL : (null)" I've deleted and reinstalled three times already.

    dunno why u guys have so much trouble playing the game, i showed this game to 4 ppl it all worked

  33. iamk34n3
    Date: Tue, Jul 20 2010 21:10:34

    What happens with me is when any game is about to go to the screen where I get to pick my character, the game just crashes. Steam is still working fine, but the game closes by itself.

    guys when you go in the game just lower all your video settings to the lowest like the resolution to 480x640 or whatever the lowest one and lower all the detail stuff it will work much better

    Nah. Portal works fine. It has nothing to do with that, the game doesn't even OPEN.

    I finished the campain and I'm going for the speed runs now. ^___^ If anyone want to try speed running the game in normal mode (mainly achieve the target times from the achievements, but maybe more, speed running this game is a lot of fun believe me) feel free to contact me. My only problem is despite having graphics lowered a lot, the game still lags a lot in the elevator (mission 2).

  40. Jamal
    Date: Wed, Jul 21 2010 15:54:07

    the elevator is supposed to be a slow motion scene but because of that it lags like shit

    Date: Wed, Jul 21 2010 16:31:27

    i downlaoded 3 maps so far... http://www.fpsbanana.com/maps/games/4214 i find these commands very useful:

    asw_auto_reload 0
    mat_grain_scale_override 0
    asw_camera_shake 0
    asw_fast_reload_under_marine 1
    asw_ignore_need_two_player_requirement 1
    cl_showfps 1
    
    also asw_horde_override 1 to enable AI Director (just like L4D)

    Dhurr, Portal is way older, probably Alien Swarm uses a newer Steam Engine build that needs never drivers. Also it's recommended to update frequently. Elevator Scene doesn't lag for me... but the game get's boring fast, need new maps. Edit: Ai Director => enemies spawn according to your teams skill/health ? I wonder if it's implemented correctly.

    Elevator scene lags for me but I assume it's just the steam. Lags the same in every game, I'm pretty sure it's just my graphics card.

    game will be patched today, for ppl who have trouble playing

    Does anyone still play this? I can finally play this game now that I have a good computer. Not really sure how to play though ha

    is this like a top down L4D? looks interesting. oh ya, Steam: fobtasticfury

  50. A.Sate
    Date: Sun, Jan 9 2011 07:46:50

    Basically a futuristic l4d with an overhead view. Melee is useless though, and no special aliens as there were special infected in l4d. Still, it's free, so it can entertain you for a little.

  51. Zombo
    Date: Sun, Jan 9 2011 16:07:02

    melee is not useless.... chainsaw is super strong

  52. A.Sate
    Date: Sun, Jan 9 2011 17:34:43

    Melee as in right click is not that useful. Too much cool down. Chainsaw however, is pretty strong.

    So does anyone want to play with me so I can get practice and what not? lol
