I changed the server name to V^V GamersRadio.com Team Nite. Set the gametype to JB. I'll try to get some better CTF maps up before 7pm. I had two new custom maps installed, but there are problems with the redirect filez, sigh. Maybe next week for those.
I also noticed this week that the server rebooted for whateva reason, setting it to default Onslaught, and it was PACKED afterwards with pub players. It was maxed out 2 nites that way. Are we missing something 🙂
I'll leave xfire running if anyone has a last minute idea of server selection. I'll post on two forums for tonites event, and we'll see who shows up.
Not sure if I will be on tonight or not. Got at least one child who is sick. If I am on, I am up for just about anything. It's all still pretty new to me 🙂
You did not miss anything anyway UT wise. We all played BF2. 🙂
It was the most people ever playing together we ever had. I think there was 12 people in TS last night. I took a screen shot 😉
I can only hope that the FNF tonight will go this well member wise. It gets a bit confusing TS wise but that can be resolved by working on coms.
It was however a total cluster F&^%. We got our collective asses kicked. I was totally useless. I had major lag. I could not really do much except run around tossing out health and trying to revive people. We REALLY have to form a plan and special squads for certain things and stick to it.
This lag issue I have is weird, it really depends on the server. I have played in servers with tons of people and stuff going on and was rather smooth. I played in others and most people seemed okay except me. At first I thought It should not be just a ping issue, usually my pings are below 80. I think I have my video right on the edge and it is a combo of video response and server response.
After some more thought it maybe is ping or a combo. Maybe on servers with an 80+ ping and a lot going on it is just enough to cause this for me. If I am on a server with a 30-50 ping then that compensates and I am smooth. Others do not have it as much as there settings are low enough or they have a kick ass card that the extra ping does not hit them until much higher. I try to run at the highest settings I can.
This is my current theory anyway. I am going to turn some stuff down. Actually I left the game last night and did turn a few settings down but when I re-loaded the level it never optimized my shaders so I am unsure it helped. Maybe I have to quit the game first. Tonight will tell.
Sorry to hear your kids are sick man, that is always hard to go through as you can not do a lot to help, aside the usual meds, and it has to simply run its course. Just be a daddy for them and comfort them. 😉
You should have stuck around. We actually won all the last games. I just think we needed to find our groove. 64 players is chaotic.
Also, as hard as we were playing, there were more people on our team that were not doing a very good job. I don't think anyone is to blame. Besides, it's just pubbing.....
You know Lexx, I hope our sudden change in plans didn't cause you too much grief. I know you set up the UT server and were expecting us, but early on, there weren't too many ppl, and some of them didn't have UT. Rather than go to UT and leave them behind, we went ahead and did the BF2 thing.
As we were doing it, I knew we were expected on the UT server, but I didn't say anything, as it was either dump a few guys or play BF2.
Hopfully we'll get things together a little better for next week. The upside was that we ended up with a hell of a lot of guys on Teamspeak! Gotta like that. Too bad you didn't fire up Xfire and join in.
The next thing is, we need to use in-game VoIP to communicate with our squad, and leave TS for BS'ing and general info.
Sorry Lexx. I did not mean for you to go out of your way man. I was going to tell you when you joined TS but you never did so. Drix did not have it installed and a few others as well I believe so it was just easier to play vanilla BF2.
You hardly join us for BF2 anymore anyway so I do not feel THAT bad 😉 Just kidding.
