TOOKIE, i've disabled Friendly Fire on USA server, because of the teamkillers. Kickback has a problem, if someone of your team steps over your mines, you'll get killed because of the kickback, no matter how low it is.

Do you know how to do that? I know this bazooka cheat is caused by a bug in the kits using modified .rfa files.

someone on the modforum made a script that let you connect to a server directly from a weblink, i can dig it up if you want it.

That's interesting, can you share it?

#3454 Re: Technical Help » Damned Gamespy » 2012-07-26 15:15:49

Lots of players use the in-game server browser to connect to servers, unfortunately. This is a BF1942.exe flaw, it should not lock if there is no response from GameSpy master server, you should be able to browse your Server and Favorites list, without updating them.

Hahaha. Go tell that to an italian. tongue History aside, I like some Road to Rome maps like Monte Cassino, Salerno and Operation Husky. I too don't know much of custom maps. If there is a popular EA Community Mappack, then the maps should be picked from there.

#3457 Re: BF1942 Discussion » cheater » 2012-07-26 14:57:11

HoOK, I'm almost sure that cheater you saw it wasn't in our servers, because they have content-check enabled.

#3458 Re: Technical Help » Damned Gamespy » 2012-07-26 10:02:04

Yes, Gamespy master server is down, or better is not responding to requests. If you try to connect from in the game, you click Multiplay and then Internet button, it will lock your computer. I think this a temporary problem, I've seen it before.
You can connect to any BF1942 server from Xfire.

what should be the ingame average for FPS normally?

Above 60 fps is recommended, because your frame rate is also bound by your monitor refresh rate, which is usually 60 Hz.

Maybe these 2 steps can help you.

1, Set the "windows xp sp3 compatible" to bf1942. (right click,compatible ...)
2, Give system operator rights. (right click,at the bottom of the small window ...)

I have win7 and play with these settings. I don't have problems.

I found this on another forum... i know one who tried it and it worked. He had always lags and a unsteady ping between 90 and 200 or something. After this tip his ping was always at 30.

The unsteady ping in some games with Windows 7 is related with a sound problem, which can be fixed by editing the Windows registry. Found it: Windows 7 Ping Spikes [FIX].

Another related interesting post: Counter-Strike 1.6, Windows 7, and lag spikes. The sequel.

You may also download TCP Optimizer, but it won't help at all in BF1942. However, your download and upload speed will be improved.

Yes, Sloop. It will be hosted in this website, but first some changes and testing have to be made, which takes some time.

#3465 Re: BF1942 Discussion » Map pack Server » 2012-07-25 19:26:13

Ok, either a Road to Rome and Secret Weapons server or Custom Maps server. The new server will be for 36 players, for now.

#3466 Re: Server Ban Appeals » Ban appeal » 2012-07-25 19:21:47

Ok, your ban is revoked, as we aren't 100% sure you used cheats. We will keep an eye on you and see if you are playing fair.

#3467 Re: Server Ban Appeals » Banned after getting gold » 2012-07-25 15:39:25

Lower than -6 points you are autokicked if BFServerManager is running, that day it was not the case, it had crashed.
spy77, please respect the admins, even if you believe it was an unfair decision. It's not much longer till the 1 day ban expires, then you can prove that you are an honest and respectable player. Thanks.

#3468 Re: News and Announcements » SiMPLE | BF1942 [FRA] scheduled downtime » 2012-07-25 15:31:48

It took longer than expected, but there is no problem with the upgrade. The BF1942 server is now logging all game events so they can be used for statistics, in the future.

Rules can be changed on the spot, if there is a clear abuse of them. wink

#3470 Re: News and Announcements » SiMPLE | BF1942 [FRA] scheduled downtime » 2012-07-25 00:17:25

No, it's not your internet connection. I'm almost sure is something related with your video settings. Use Fraps or Bandicam and you'll see if your frames go down to around 20 or 10 in a crowded Aberdeen map, that's when you'll notice that choppy play. If they do, you'll have to lower the video settings or try some more advanced tweaks. It's all listed in How to improve gameplay topic.

#3471 Re: Technical Help » How to improve gameplay » 2012-07-24 23:53:46

Thanks, I didn't know those commands. There are other commands you can also try taken from this page: http://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/420/ba … ndex6.html. For example, place renderer.useTrilinearFiltering 0 in your VideoDefault.con file for a possible extra performance.

#3472 Re: Server Ban Appeals » Unban Appeal » 2012-07-24 23:17:01

It was a 1 day ban for basecamping.

#3473 Re: Feedback » allow attacking mains ? » 2012-07-24 23:09:09

Shing, do try to play in servers where basecamping is allowed, and make an effort to always play on the losing side, the team that's being basecamped. Especially, in maps like Kursk or Battleaxe, when they steal all your vehicles and you are cornered in your main base. It's no fun to play like that, maybe to those that basecamp is.

#3474 Re: Feedback » Lower spawn times » 2012-07-24 23:04:54

X=X=X=X=X=X=X=X, I believe you are wrong. I've checked in the server the spawntimes after getting killed and it was never greater than 12 seconds.

#3475 Re: Server Ban Appeals » Banned after getting gold » 2012-07-24 23:01:44

You were banned because you teamkilled.

#3476 Re: Technical Help » How to improve gameplay » 2012-07-24 22:59:08

X=X=X=X=X=X=X=X, is right. The server handles fine 90 players, the lag you get is on your side. I experienced too in Aberdeen, but I've disabled in-game sounds in the Options menu and the fps rate is much better now. Of course, disabling sound is a drastic measure. You could try lowering the sound quality or trying to enable hardware acceleration or even reducing the number of channels, to see if it helps. Also try to reduce the screen resolution or lowering video quality. Anyway, you should use a program like Bandicam or Fraps to always check your fps in-game. Fraps has a nice feature that lets you benchmark your fps, saving all values to a .csv file.

Nice tuia, hopefully major lag issues are resolved. Yesterday at Aberdeen alot were complaining about it. It was like moving in slow motion

Lecter, I am certain the lag you experience is on your side, and it is due to frame drops, any frames per second (fps) rate below 30 is unplayable, just as you say it, it is like moving in slow motion.
As for the server it will be reformatted and updated.

On Wednesday morning, tomorrow, at 09:00 CET our server will be going down for an OS upgrade and other maintenance tasks that is expected to take roughly 1 hour to complete. As a result it will be offline until this maintenance is completed.

#3479 Re: Server Ban Appeals » Ban Appeal » 2012-07-24 10:27:06

When a new map begins, if you are one of the first players to load the map, and you vote for a map straight away, the server will accept the map vote, based on the players that were when the map vote started. When the other players finish loading the map they too can vote for the map, but the server won't correct the number of votes needed for this extra players. For example, there were 4 players when a map vote started, only 3 votes are needed to get through, but then 20 players finish loading their map they can vote too, but the server doesn't correct the majority of votes, so out of 24 players only 3 votes are needed.
A map vote delay would solve this problem, or a possible workaround is to reduce the map vote time to a very short one.

#3480 Re: Server Ban Appeals » Ban appeal » 2012-07-24 09:53:13

Sorry, Terrence, as I've told you before, we have decided to ban you. If we are wrong, my apologies, but that's a measure we have to take to have a fair server.
