64 players slots

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.

Re: 64 players slots

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

Re: 64 players slots

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

Re: 64 players slots

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 ?

Re: 64 players slots

Yes, i think so. It feels to me the gameserver is much smaller with 64 slots. smile
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?

Re: 64 players slots

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^^

Re: 64 players slots

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.

Re: 64 players slots

I do not know how, but i have a much better situation with LAG issue  , with 64 players, it lags less smile)
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 smile

Re: 64 players slots

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.

Re: 64 players slots

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. wink

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.
