64 players slots

tuia · 2012-08-23 20:06:16

SiMPLE | BF1942 No key [FRA] is going to be lowered to 64 player slots. There are still some minor problems to be ironed out with the extra players slots, so back to normal numbers.

Lecter · 2012-08-23 20:17:26

nice! Finally! thx tuia

Dudeck · 2012-08-23 21:15:26

Perhaps its an opportunity to make some 'unpopular' modifications? Server gonna be full anyway

Denny · 2012-08-23 23:30:08

or open simple nbr 2 somewhere in germany xD
im kidding

tuia · 2012-08-23 23:38:08

Yes, some maps have to be changed. Gazala won't have fast spawning planes and El Alamein, too. Aberdeen has to be changed quickly.

tuia ... do you plan to go back to 72 slots or more in the near future ?

tuia · 2012-08-24 01:02:26

No, unless I find some free time and willingness to fix all remaining problems in BFServerManager and in BF1942 client.

sergfa · 2012-08-24 08:20:08

That's actually a step backwards, but I can understand your decision. 72 Slots does making the server more special and was one of the reason to return to bf42 for myself.

Perhaps, we could host a 72+ slots only at weekend ?

tuia · 2012-08-24 09:54:50

Yes, i think so. It feels to me the gameserver is much smaller with 64 slots.
More than 78 players in the server will crash BFServerManager. Yes, probably increase the slots at the weekend.
There is one thing I would like to get it straight. Some people complained that with 72 players full the server was laggy and hits were bad. I'm an average player so I can't say anything about the hits. Does anyone notice any diference when the server is almost full with 64 players from being full at 72 players?

MightyZo0K · 2012-08-24 09:59:50

I didn't notice any difference between 64 or 72 players. And my computer and internet aren't the best which you could get nowadays^^

64 slots is fine. Will the kick/ban issues be resolved by this?

Why reduce the fast spawntime of the planes on El Ala and Gazala? Especially on those maps the
planes are the most important/used vehicles and it gives a lot of action.

What u gonna change on Aberdeen?

[edit] I never had problems with lags or blind hits.
Btw, if u lower the slots to resolve some problems than why increase it again in the weekend?

Yes, BFServerManager handles kicks and bans fine with 64 players.

El Alamein and Gazala probably have too many planes. In Aberdeen reposition and increase the tanks in the main bases and add some jeeps to the map.

George · 2012-08-24 10:42:17

I do not know how, but i have a much better situation with LAG issue , with 64 players, it lags less )
Idea about Gazala, if you lower the amount of planes , please do not put it on default, because then there are too few , map is too big ,and becomes very booring waiting for planes that newer spwn,,,,,,just a thought

tuia · 2012-08-24 10:58:34

How many planes do you think there should be on each base on El Alamein and Gazala? They will just spawn once and not twice, as it is now.

dary · 2012-08-24 11:13:45

I suggest 7... and they should not spawn in the hangar, because when you fly into the hangar to repair your plane, it might happen that at the same time and place another plane spawns. You know how the story ends.

George · 2012-08-24 11:15:17

indeed, i agree with dary , 7 would be a fair number, for us to fight for

dary: I suggest 7
To be honest its too much for 64 slots in my point of view. There's another airfield where spawning 3 planes too.

dary: and they should not spawn in the hangar
I agree, pls remove the planes inside the hangar. put them diagonally opposite left and right at the runway.

No difference for me at all

George · 2012-08-25 13:37:35

it was btw 55-65 before, now it s arround 49 all day long )), and very much playable

correction , i was talking about yesterday... however, now with 72 again, very laggy, and ping at least 61,

Oh yes! Smoother, hits really hit and no lag whatsoever. I was having alot of problems and it seems perfect now. Also with 72 players there were times i was shooting and bullets werent leaving the gun, that happened alot on 1 vs 1, weird stuff

That means u have to reload u dummy :-)

brigg · 2012-08-25 15:25:43

i see there were some modifications made. on the battle of britain -added ships and some other interesting things, thats nice. also i see the sniper scope doesnt go off when you shoot, was that a bug on my side?

no, weapon reloaded, I hear the sound of me shooting, bullet numbers coming down, no hits whatsoever, than back to 30...and me dead

Timmos · 2012-08-25 15:48:11

how could you know it was back to 30 if you were dead?

and at brigg, thats your cheat probably...

Lecter · 2012-08-25 15:54:29

because it has happened to me so often i pay attention. An example: Im shooting a sniper laying down, i see the bullet number dropping and the sound of them, and then its 30 again without me reloading. OFC during the process no hits whatsoever. Fk strange.

I have a ping of 16 on some server and it feel like 80 - 100... on the simple server it feel like my ping most of the time, great server.

Strange... i just know the bug when you take a new mp kit from someone... that's really annoying

Lecter · 2012-08-25 16:08:17

yes Dary but the stranger is that it only happened when the slots were increase to 72. This has never happened to me since I play the game. Ill check again, now its 64, it if happens
