Ok, thanks, I'll try some of the other games. My game did freeze though, I left it for 10 minutes and had lunch. Isn't that too long?

Question: what happens if you set an uneven number of bots?

see the first edit above, thats why the game freezes because it can't create the bots.


The botmatch is the only game where you can set an uneven number of bots.
In the other games you'll get an extra half of a bot per team ;)
But half a bot caisn't space worthy so it's culled.

Oops, duh, I knew that. I was, um, just testing you. ;)

Cool! Half a bot! :p

Here's not so much a problem as a query. Whenever I use escape to pause the game (to write down things to complain about, of course ;)), when I resume the game I'm either mostly dead or in the process of exploding. Does the game continue while I'm (the server) not in it?

Pressing esc doesn't pause the game it's just a means of quitting. It also 'historically' offered a means of changing teams, which is currently disabled because it's contradictory for coop botmatches or in class based games.

You can't just pause a MP game (for everyone else playing it too) every time a player wants to jot something down. ;)

Dive into a Tunnel or a hollow asteroid if you want to be relativly safe from bots. If they are right behind you though they will follow you inside.

You can't just pause a MP game

Yeah, that's what I thought. That's why I was wondering what exactly was happening when I hit the escape button. Ok, thanks for the info.
