i'd imagine, its' only on your end so why wouldn't it?

might be deemed cheating, and therefore need a host with cheats enabled like many other valve games.

does it work in MP?

it has to be on a server that has cheats enabled. i am installing a server on my linux box right now.

but i still need to know the command to force my game to join my server.

good ol' SV_cheats 1? or the dedicated server?

well turns out the files for linux dont work yet :shadedshu

so i will try it on the windows system later today.

you can try out the first person yourself by doing the following...

enable the developer console which you can find in options/keyboard.

then use ` to open it up and type sv_cheats 1

and then load up any map by typing map 'map name'

you will see a list of maps pop up with you type in map

then issue these commands once in game...

firstperson

asw_hide_marine 1

asw_controls 0

I assume the first-person cheat could potentially get you banned if you tried to use it on the wrong server, but it would be a nice update to incorporate short first-person stages.

Lionheart · Jul 21, 2010

This game is soooo much better multiplayer, singleplayer bores me :laugh:

and had a fun play through
:rockout:

Ima try out that first person cheat :rockout:

cheers Rhino :toast:

There's only one level in offline mode? That kinda sucks.

you cant use it on any server that does not have sv_cheats 1 configured.

Lionheart · Jul 21, 2010

Had a play offline mode in first person mode, pretty easy, what you would expect really, pretty easy to aim too :toast:

CDdude55 · Jul 21, 2010

Still have yet to try this game.:shadedshu

I played yesterday and reached level 13 sth. But today when i try to play again, i get this error:

'steam was unable to sync your files for Alien Swarm with the Steam Cloud

if you have played this game from another computer, your game settings and/or progress may not be sync with what was stored in the Cloud. if you play the game now, you may lose those changes or progress'

you guys have any idea abt this?

JanJan · Jul 22, 2010

oh nvm, i restart my computer and the router and it worked :|

DaedalusHelios · Jul 22, 2010

I have got the second star and level 19 now I think. Good game. Per star you promote to level 1 and only an option once you hit level 27. So I am like level 73 technically I suppose. There was an update to fix the bugs too.

Easy Rhino · Jul 22, 2010

ok my server is up and running with the cheat enabled so we can all play first person. i plan on starting a game later tonight :rockout:

It is easy to aim, however, in my short stint playing SP I ran out of ammo on 2 characters and ended up dead.

In multiplayer a guy carries the ammo bags. I don't play SP though. I can't play insane but hard is manageable. I like how I can rotate players if somebody has to leave midlevel on multiplayer.

im playing this, add my steam and we can catch a game?: speedods

This game is really cool, but it crashes a lot on me. It just happened some 5 minutes ago... I went to a black screen, with the typical looping 1-2 seconds of audio. After a short while, the looping audio stopped, and the game seemed to continue as normal... except I had no video. I tried to ctrl-alt-del out and I still had no video. I had to use the reset button on my pc to get video back. Do I need to go back and re-verify my video stability (it was stable when I set it to these clocks and BIOS flashed it), or is it a problem with the game? It has crashed on me a few times before this too.

the game has a few disconnect/crash to desktop bugs, what you're experiencing sounds like video driver crashes. definitely check your OC stability.
