Our greatest ambassador has been hacked by some sick troll on Discord. (posting prn links to everybody (that's original!)).
Somebody's jealous?
Whilst he has been silenced...
i'm sure I speak for everyone and would never have thought for a moment that he would really have done such a thing.
Anyway I hope his account is re-instated very shortly and we can continue to enjoy his BF1942 content and Discord input.
All the best.

On my laptop "6" is too far from "W", so to select the wrench I have to use either the other hand or just mouse wheel. "N" can be hit with no problem

Start Game
Select Options/Controls
Change keys to something more suitable for your fingers!
Parachute, F9-F12 are too far for my fingers lol
Many use fancy mice with allocated buttons especially for rear view etc
Keep away from T. The tips label is annoying.

I can't help with skill though.
If anyone can please let me know, I need some smile
Good hit regs to all.

Yeah I have noticed that Deeko's consistency with single head shots with the colt is such that he doesn't even bother to fire twice!
I didn't think that skill could be possible with variable hit regs on Tanks a Lot. Half of my tankshots on a bad day just go through things.
But I am a noob lol.
Witness statement on one of Angie's vids. Can't remember which.
    Don't really care anyway.
Every shot I heard was a one hit wonder. (Merkel was the main victim that day!)
What can you do?

If there is a secret to their superior gaming experience I doubt it will be shared here.

#6 Re: Feedback » More Freedom? » 2024-05-12 15:51:03

My only problem with them (Simon and Deeko) is the lack of team balance when they're about. Especially when they play in same team collaborating.
But it's not just their fault. If some people didn't jump on their team to get 'easy pickings' then some balance could happen.
I always join the weaker team as many do.
And yes the larger team can be weaker.
I for one would like to see them on opposite sides with everyone doing their bit. That would be interesting!
Simon team vs Deeko team?
Could their egos handle it?
Bring it on.

If you really want a gold medal you need to do both. Kill and take flags.
One or the other won't do it usually.
Yes I do agree 2 points is best. Three was an attempt to curb score whoring but it didn't really work.
Three for the middle is an intriguing idea though!
It's definitely harder to take and usually key to the games outcome.

I  guess that answers my query!
My suspicion turns to pity.
Yes Lord W perhaps Deeko does need hugs.
Peace to all.

PS be on your best bahaviour when they're about.
They'll use your indiscretions to get you banned.
Ask XTuga or Birtje or Hillbillyninja (admin rights) and no doubt others.
Despite Deeko not being banned for bugging...(Revenge is sweet?)

I hope to see them back in Simple sometime soon.

Seeing as no-one else has made any suggestions I'll give you my tuppence worth.
Have you looked at your graphics card settings? Maybe something amiss. (Not in full screen mode or something like that).
Maybe update graphic drivers/windows updates.

I would suggest re-installing the game using the above link/download.

Good luck!

You're either a team player or not.
Your disdain (Sepp) for 'flag takers' is ridiculous.

Taking flags is risky with so many respawning zookers and miners. Hiding in the shadows with their tnt  hidden, zooks at the ready!
(respawn time should be increased!).
Sometimes you have to take one for the team to clear the flag of tnt
.If you don't the clock loses the battle for your team.
If you don't understand that Sepp you can't be taught.
If you're too scared of dying so be it. Don't blame others for your insecurities.
Amd I remind you ITS ONLY A GAME

Three points for a flag for me btw

Five days of 'cold turkey' may have been enough for many to break their 'addiction'.
Here's hoping the 'urge' comes back.

Noobs like myself like a bit of a crowd to hide behind lol

Optimising server settings back to original is helping.

Don't give up yet.
Your pc may have blocked it.
Some pc's don't like exe. files
Try again and look for 'no entry' signs on your top bar.
Click and let it allow the download.
Good luck

Alternatively reinstall the game from scratch. I've found that always works when I get a seemingly insurmountable problem.
(Download Battlefield 1942) above which now includes the patch I believe.

Tnx for the info Tuia. Interesting

To access the servers remove your old 'favourites' and add the new  ones.
Worked for me

I just accessed Tanks a Lot; It seems to be working.
Watch out for ff though. It's turned on on Tanks a Lot

Dropping grenades at your feet is a nono some will be disappointed to hear lol!

Had a problem recently though I've sorted it.
Just in case anyone else has the same problem I'll mention it here.

When I deleted an old player profile the screen freezes and mouse locks.
Only ctrl alt del gets me out and I have to restart the computer to re-enter windows.
And then if I try to start Battlefield it black screens and crashes.
I've found that re-installing Battlefield makes it work again.
Perhaps it is the d3d8.dll thing but re-installing seems to work
Happy camping

#22 Re: BF1942 Discussion » Need autobalance » 2023-07-29 14:10:49

Settings can be evaded (powerstacking. disconnect/reconnect).
It's down to the players unfortunately.

Server rules are clear on team stacking but everyone would eventually be banned if they were applied stringently. Sometimes games are uneven for 'natural' reasons (people just playing 'well' for example .Better internet conditions etc.)

I would suggest single player mode for score whores lol. Keep moving though. those bots don't miss! smile
I have sympathy for those with high pings who still want to join in.

I'm with Arkos' assessment! 'Some people do not want/like a fair but good battle'.

Definitely a recurring problem in 'Tanks a Lot'.
I won't embarrass anyone with screenshots here. (yet!).
Perhaps this post will help somehow.

#24 Re: BF1942 Discussion » Tanks A Lot TK changes » 2023-06-16 20:52:33

(aka Nicola Sturgeon...)
Teamkills on Tanks a Lot?
Oh dear Frenchy's not going to like it. Must say I'm partial to a well placed mine myself. Can get both teams though so...
Could certainly do without spawn camping artillery in my opinion but I do like expacking so I'd be inclined to agree with Cicero.
Turn TK off.
The main server has TK on  (which I sometimes forget sry) so the option of both is available still.
While I'm here what's with all the team stacking recently or has it always been that way and I've never noticed until now?
Doesn't make for a good game. Good stats maybe...

#25 Re: Feedback » SiMPLE is dying quickly now » 2023-05-29 21:20:29

Having looked at gametracker forum I can see posts concerning 'floods of fake servers' and 'not functioning correctly recently'.
So I believe the stats are not to be trusted. ( I knew that!).
I don't wish to downgrade anyone else's achievements though.

I cant be the only person affected can I? It definitely happened to Test01 as well the other day.
Although a quick browse through a few players didn't show anything untoward.

BTW it is still reporting my presence in Tanks a Lot 3 hours after I left!?
I wonder how I'm getting on lol. Doubt I'll be scoring much seeing as I'm here.
Was actually only in for 5 minutes and got 1 kill! Just to see if it reports my kill eventually...
I played last night and it reported my stats correctly.

Hckrs? (They must be really bored lol)...or maybe just boring sad
I guess I put myself out there as a target with my posts? But why Test01? smile

The reset has been quite enlightening. I believe it has been like this for a while.
Still love the game though especially with my new found good connectivity.
Just have to delete my Gametracker bookmark ignore and move on.
Last post on this subject.
See you on the battlefield. ( if my CD Key is not in use lol.).

#26 Re: Feedback » SiMPLE is dying quickly now » 2023-05-29 19:27:34

I'll keep an eye on this when I play again. If it is only kills that it tracks, I'm screwed :-)

Unfortunately it encourages spawn camping!
If you got a point for taking a base it might be better but it doesn't and lets face it taking bases can be risky.
Ask Sepp.:)

Since the Gametracker reset I have been trying to keep track of my scores. Days when I've had over 100 points, gametracker reports less than 50. I see it doing the same thing to others who I know had higher scores than I did. It definitely has problems, probably all along.

It counts kills only, just in case

Yeah he's right Cicero.
Eg. I scored 17 11 5  in about 20 mins last time I played.
So i should have got 11 points in 20. Ratio 0.55
However gametracker said 0 points in 210 mins!!??
This has had the effect of reducing my score ratio from 0.49 to 0.35 and my score didn't change.

I think what has happened is because I quit the game without disconnecting from the server.
I'd previously disconnected twice because my sound wasn't working...

When I tried to reconnect I got the 'CD-Key in use' label (twice) before it let me back in.
I think this is what cocked up the gametracker stats. My CD Key 'remained in use'. It doesn't account for my lost 11 points though!

So  the moral to the story is 'Don't quit while still connected to server. always disconnect from server if you want to preserve your stats and want your 'stopwatch' to stop and then quit the game.
Am I wrong?
PS.
Perhaps its a punishment for 'rage quitting' lol. Although I didn't rage quit I just quit the quick way.

#29 Re: Feedback » SiMPLE is dying quickly now » 2023-05-23 17:48:24

WTF Gametracker!
I think its relevant to this post.
Being an 'average' player little victories are important to me.
Gametracker having reset their statistics have regained a new vigour for some people to top the lists and why not?

Imagine my chagrin to realise my stats have been nullified by whatever...
Gametracker claims that I played for 3 1/2 hours scoring 0 when I actually played for 20 minutes yesterday scoring something dunno what.
Left abruptly due to hopeless stacking btw.

I was quite proud of my scoring ratio but that's f****d now.

I've noticed this before many times but always put it down to my VPN confusing things.
However I'm fortunate not to need it any more due to good connection for a month now.
It also happened to Test01 I've noticed but nobody else!

I guess its no big deal but I've found it discouraging.
Hope nobody else feels the same.

Yeah OK Simon...you've got a point.
Just trying to help.

  Have to agree with Crapuie btw. No real toxicity in Tanks a Lot.
Adults only? Nobody acting like kids.
Sepp may have his moments of rudeness but he's our Sepp and we luv 'im. : )
He's self adminning anyway...One rude word and he's auto-kicked and he knows it and doesn't complain.

Still think disengaging auto team balance could help..
.Then Sepp can sit in the hut to his hearts content lol and the 'chronic idlers' can do their thing.
Everyone's happy.
May your cursors flash with hitness.

BTW 3 weeks with no con probs now. So i'm not complaining.
