League season is a GO!
I'm pleased to announce that a new team has signed up for the League reaching the minimum team goal to proceed with the competition.

Current TEAMS Registered for the League:
[PHX]
=VOLPI=
-=[HELLO]=-
And we welcome [SHiVA]

3 individual warriors are participating as in the League events as well.
Enough to form a 5th team TBD.

As promised I will now work and complete the League competition portal for this season.

GAME ON FRIENDS.

No new commitments, but a new team has indicated interest:
"Hey yeah I’ll try and get a partner sounds fun"

As I mentioned I won't be recruiting, if there's interest in competing I will be happy to host it.
I will update the thread if / when we have new teams actually registered and commited.

Are you interested in competing? Would you like to sign up?

Thank you.  We appreciate the sentiment.

SilverBullet is a community that decided to host a League not a traditional League community that focuses purely on competition.
Several new players that were introduced to League style matches for the first time at the MAD MAX special event approached asking whether we still compete, expressing interest.

Thus we made this post.  We won't try to organize a League in the "If you build it they will come" approach.  We will organize a league if and only if we have teams committed.

Thus there is no deadline here, and we have nothing on the line.  If it happens it happens.

1. Your team name + tag
Tentatively (not final  yet)  The Lazy Bastards [TLB]

2. Your team members
LuccaWulf
FlameHaze

3. The Discord IDs of each member of your team
You can look it up

4. Whether you and your team members read the rules and acknowledge them
Confirmed.

Per your request for suggestions. 
1. Multiple Rounds on a map is a bad idea and I personally never saw a ladder do this before.  Maps favor some skills over others, ending up on a map that favors your opponents is fine if the next one doesn't or favors you.  It's like a new battle with different considerations, but 2 rounds on the same map is very demoralizing to the losing team of round 1.  (I know from personal experience).  When the one Ladder we won we faced our rivals on 2 maps without planes!!!

2. Normally one round on 3 maps, you play the first 2 maps and 3rd one is used as a tie breaker if teams are 1-1.  The specific maps are revealed to the teams 1 week prior to the match.

3. One teams get to pick first and third round map, other team gets home field advantage by having round one / three played on their server. 

Well that's how it was done back in the day, let me know if you like these ideas.

Looking forward to it.

Is BF1942 Plus still recommended for Client install?
Can I roll back to previous version or is it better to reinstall Vanilla and patch?

Thanks

uuuz I need help with a strange issue I've been experiencing since 1.34. Upgrade was released.

The presumably fixed ping in scoreboard all of a sudden jumped up from 10-12ms to 30ms.  The NetGraph tools and TCPdump of the UDP stream indicate that jitter increased significantly affecting hit detection and ability to lead moving targets etc.

However this issue is not network related.  As part of the troubleshooting I setup a fresh game install on a different PC and joining the same server one PC plays good, while another experiences the issue.  From console ICMP to the server RTT is always good regardless of game state.

The ping does not change for the duration of the round, once joined it is consistent 10 or 30.  It changes only on map change at the end of the round.  At this time a new UDP session is created, thus perhaps the negotiation of the session causes a problem.

I can post the data I collected and I have a TCPdump where I joined a round a minute before end and had a good ping, but next map the issue occured.  I'll post other data I collected.  UDP packets don't really provide latency information and I am not familiar with the Server - Client communication to troubleshoot on my own.

Hope you can help.
