Mine Never Lags, and I'm in Detroit Michigan (you know, the City who's Mayor needed a Presidential Pardon to get out of jail).
i only have this Game, RA2, Pokerstars, and Norton Premium loaded.
I still suggest looking into your Scheduler to see what backs up, saves, updates, or scans,
like Apple, A\V, Phone, music, Social Medias, Bloatware, etc...
schtasks command-line utility, Task Scheduler Summary or try Task Scheduler, Actions, Enable All Tasks History for a little while (eats up a lot of disk space quickly though).
Has anyone contacted the Server Host to inform them of this problem?
A rebuild is still suggested which also greatly speeds up a Computer too.
Next time it Crashes to Desktop, look at the Time, then go to your Windows Events Log and see what else was going on that minute and the previous minute or so.
Treacert is fine if you want to blame others for your problem, and if you want to run it for 5-10 minutes and see if something unusually laggy reacurringly happens on the internet then fine, but 5 to 10 minute intervals indicates your system is up to something. I'd have a disable party in your startup tab, check your 'Run' and 'Run Once' in your Registry, and take a long look into your Scheduler to see what backsup, saves, updates, or scans every 5 to 10 minutes.
Get a Diagnostic Boot Stick and Virus Scan Everything, All Files. Clean the Registry. Consider backing up your data and doing a Complete from the Format up Re-Build if your Hard Drive.
Revive one of your older computers and play on that and see if the same problem exists. if the game still lags every 5 to 10 minutes, then call your internet provider and raise hell till they give you a new updated Router and outside wiring.
Did anyone solve this?
Process of elimination...
Take your computer and network cable to a friends house and try it on their network, if you still have the problem try his network cable, still have the problem, boot to CMOS and disable on-board Lan and Buy and install a network card or USB Lan card.
If your computer works fine at your friends house go home and plug into your Modem exclusively (no other devices or switches). if good then start plugging in switches and devices one at a time till it fails again and that will be the problem.
Or If you still have the problem then unplug the modem from the internet (just a power cord and the network cable attached to your computer), still have the problem the replace the modem, if good then the outside line into the modem is bad.
Bad Modem or outside line are the providers problem, test it before they leave, make them prove it's fixed.
I cant go toe to toe and win so I tend to use Stand off Weapons like Sniper Rifles and Artillery (slow computer, lousy ping, old mans Reflexes).
When Sniping, make sure there is something behind you, don't be that odd little bump on the top of the distant ridge at the edge of the fog.
Also try to make every shot a Head shot. if you're Axis, try to find a Dark Patch of ground to hide on. don't let your Barrel stick out of the Bush and try not to wave it around much. I enjoy Counter-Sniping most of all, I'll burn the whole game hunting a Sniper.
Artillery has a limited range so I'll get to a safe spot within distance and use the rotating mini map to line the aim with the flag then max elevate the gun and incrementally lower the barrel till I get a kill then punish that area. if there's hills and valleys then do a spot for yourself and you can see if the round drops into a valley or hits a hill. the Blast shows just beyond the fog and will show a terrain outline in front of the blast.
AA is all about the Lead, lots of lead for further targets then reduce till you get the little "Hit X" on your cross hair.
It really felt like Spawn Camping.
I took the Destroyer over to the Carrier spawn and camped there Bagging a couple Carriers, a Battleship and a few Destoyers, there were only a few players but still... I felt a bit Shamed to be doing it and quit the game to post this.
I didn't see a Spawn Camping rule, maybe we should get one and apply it here.
Carrier abuse is subject to interpretation of "Disrupting Gameplay" (which is also not on the rules list
I was thinking it was an Ethics Question with no Solution too.
Gentleman's Rules Don't apply.
It will be Hunted Down and sunk then Spawn next to the waiting enemy Battle Ship.
Which lead me to think, would parking the Battle Ship there for Multiple Respawns of the Carrier constitute "Base Camping" ?
Side Question: If you Can't Taxi to the Planes, then why can you use the Planes to Taxi to Flags? A Smoking Rule would be nice.
Simple 1942 FRA 3:10 -5 est 4-12-19
started play late and spawned on carrier to find it 60% damaged and the other ships scattered.
I learned about 15 years ago that a moving carrier last longer.
The blue Carrier was somewhat forward of its spawn so I backed it up and turn to port rather than show it to the island, before heading for the bottom corner of the map. Backing straight and then turning as I transitioned to a forward direction. the transition went fine, the deck was clear by then, but the backing up part...
Planes were pouring off the deck, everyone wanted to fly, i was trying to crawl it backwards but people were flying into the sea or banking in, crashing into each other, hilarious.
2 planes hit the island and one rode the rails and I was charged with TKing them.
The Carrier did catch the other carrier at the bottom of the map, but i got kicked for a score of
Negative 6, zero, zero. no surprise there huh...
when i drive the carrier i use the trailing view looking forward so i can see when planes are taking off, I've learned if i release all maneuvering buttons and let the ship coast, people take off better.
But backing up today and watching the fails, hilarious. some pilots had no problem, just flew right down the deck and away they went, but the others were gut busting funny to watch, what a comedy of errors, i saw a bunch of people simply run over by planes, fly into each other, back off the fantail, you know.
it was you-tube worthy...
i don't know if I'm banned, but i thought it'd make a good story.
It seems like three quarters of the people can't launch off the Carrier when it's backing up.
Careful with those 3 point turns guys
- Pixel-shooting is strictly forbidden.
I think I should just stop using the DEF Gun.
Oops, Not Banned. Just politely Removed for a bit.
But still a viable question from an old Arty Nut.
Perhaps an Admin could move this to a more appropriate forum for me.
Pixelshooting, That's where you remember the aiming from the previous few thousand Spots. It's the DEF Gun, it doesn't move around the map, nor do the Flags or Repair Pads.
What do you suggest an old Artillery nut to do ?
(I may regret that Question...)
oh, sorry, 1942 Fran and I'm A-=CBBF=-SlowMotion
Feb 14 - late morning - Aberdeen
I admit it, i was in the Blue DEF Gun and he (BF-solder 17) wanted it, so he C-4'd it and chased me out then stole it.
I couldn't resist, I C-4'd him back but killed him.
i thought it could handle one more blast without blowing up but apparently he almost completely destroyed it while i was in it.
That was Stupid of me, I was foolishly vengeful and am sorry for not following the TK rules and doing a shout instead.
And shame on BF-solder 17 for using C-4 to intimidate me out of the DEF Gun that he wanted to play with.
I'm back in, Thanks.
By the way, how's my game play and stuff {except for occasionally launching team mates 400 feet into the air with artillery} ?
Jan 31 mid morning Aberdeen Fran 1942 Server
I was Def gunning the red service depot flag, Really into spreading rounds on and around the pad, heard 3 to 5 Negative's and saw we now owned it. I typed "OH" and "SORRY" but it was too late.
It's my fault for not watching the Mini map more closely.
My Apologies to the guy I Nuked with the Def Gun, probably the same guy that took the Flag, kinda like the Marital reward system, you know, no good deed goes un-punished.
Anyway, I didn't have time to catch his name, but 'SORRY' to the guy I TK'ed.
okay, one last thing.
Should I be bothered about being banned for base rape when what I did was a Tk while trying to kill a base raper ?
Its a big difference, aren't logs kept?
Sorry to keep bothering you, but is the sandbag, ammo box, AA gun position at the bottom of the Blue Main Base road okay to fire artillery wespe from as a blue player? the question is, is it far enough out of the main to be a legal shooting position?
Secondly, I was blue and accidentally TK'ed a blue plane being persude by a red plane. I'm still sorry abut that, I was trying to shoot the red one before he could shot down the one i TK'ed.
Again, sorry about that. I did have time to type a sorry. logs should show the tk and apology.
I'm still concerned about the firing location issue.
and Thank you for lifting the ban.
Thank you for your response, I was firing Artillery from sandbags, ammo box, AA gun position at the bottom of the Blue Base road at the first flag (it can't reach any other flag). is that a problem? I typically park at the rocks further up the road to shoot at the second nearest flag (pot shots) then spot the first base for myself when it gets taken and return to the ammo box position to fire at the first flag again. Does this routine violate the base attack rule in any way beyond increasing my risk of TK's ?
and thank you again for you time and effort in this matter.
On Simple 1942 FRA around 8pm est (-5) i shot down a friendly that was chasing a bogy across the south edge of blue main in Gazala.
Our Friendly was just taking off and I thought he was dead meat, so I jumped out of my Artillery and onto the AA and shot at the nearest of the two and did see a red label and a flash of a blue one too but they were headed directly away from me and figured red was going to kill my guy so he would be trailing. I did type a "Rats Sorry" but two things popped up on my screen and the second one had the word Banned in it.
Re-logging in says Banned as well.
I am Sorry about that. I really would like to keep playing here with the Artillery.
Is there anything I can do?
