suchey 0 Posted August 13, 2002 any word on the fix? Has the ghosting problem vanished ( no pun intended Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nailbighter 0 Posted August 22, 2002 Is it possible to add some more missions? I know you don't want to play favorites and all... And if you pick any map, that map may be thought of as "BIS santioned" and that's not good. But, at least some variety would make it more fun to play.. Like everyone plays [sAS]Urban all the time...

Crazy_Jnutz 0 Posted August 28, 2002 Any realease date on the patch to fix the ghost problem. It is getting majorly annoying to have to reboot our server all the time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Espectro (DayZ) 0 Posted August 28, 2002 You can just kick the person, and he will disapeer after a minute. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
suchey 0 Posted August 28, 2002 yes...you can kick the person, he does dissapear, but then a spot on the server gets eaten up...in other words, the player will not be seen on the list of players, but he will still occupy a spot on the server for some time afterward.

Crazy_Jnutz 0 Posted September 2, 2002 Ok now this is really upsetting me. I am so tired of not being able to play on our server. This ghost thing needs to be resolved quickly. This is getting so annoying and makes playing the game very unpleasant. I do hope BIS puts out a patch soon as I know others are getting entirely annoyed with it as well. Is there any time frame of when you plan to release a fix for this problem. Your customers do wish to know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lt_Damage 0 Posted September 2, 2002 Basically I think the improvements can already be seen in Resistance. 1.60 had very bad ghosting issues, as soon as we got 1.75 we were pleasantly suprised to find that the few who did ghost (usually those with flaky connections to begin with) were able to be simply kicked and they would disconnect a few seconds later. The player could then rejoin without a problem When a ghosted player is kicked from our server I notice no problems afterwoods, with players able to connect and fill the player spot without issue. If you have many issues with players connecting make sure you disallow custom sounds and large custom faces. These can make connection times change from 30seconds to a minute, to 1-5 minutes. This is because I have found many users stupidly use excessive sound samples (over 1mb) which makes connection times very much longer. A good way to find out who is the culprit is to ALT-TAB out of OFP and check your OFP\Tmp\Players\ directory, find the user with the largest files and ask him to remove them for the duration he plays on the server. I have found this practise increases gameplay performance dramatically, there are few "stalls" in the game while players are connecting. Otherwise running a Resistance server is a lot easier than running any other servers, great work BIS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skunk Monkey 0 Posted September 3, 2002 Well if you guys have solved the Ghosting problems; and the new patch also restricts the Sounds to 40Kb and faces to 100Kb! Then any chance of a beta realease for we the server runners who are getting bored of constant msn's asking for the server to be restarted cuz the admin ghosted. Or reasliing the 56Kers cant connect because the /tmp folder is 2MB !!! And if the ammo spilling out everywhere bug was sorted, man that would be perfect This would be a GREAT help and even if its just a server patch not a client patch (like you use on your test server), We could also give you more feebback then Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
suchey 0 Posted September 4, 2002 A temp fix for the ghosting alone would be nice. From what I can gather from other topics on this forum, etc...I guess the patch will be within a couple weeks....hope so Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
suchey 0 Posted September 9, 2002 Anything??? There hasnt been a word about the patch in ages...meanwhile ghosts are popping up all over the server...there hasnt been much new in the way of Multi-play maps for quite some time-compared to ofp that is...and all the servers I see are starting to droop in the player count...sure, direct play is there, but the players want to play with the new netcode on Resistance servers so your hosed if you move over. The boards are starting to slow down here...definately slower traffic wise...Im hopeing that the patch will kick some new life back into the game...I still think OFP is the best game out there...but with BF1942 coming out, alot of players are going to start giving up and moving on. The mods usually close any topics that ask about the patch...but I think its pretty important that we get some kind of info...at least a status report. Is the patch vapor now?

suchey 0 Posted September 16, 2002 Is the testing server down? Havent been able to find it for a while?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
russin 0 Posted September 16, 2002 i wish they never released this untill it works properly i also have noted a drop in players on resistance 1.75 come on how long till patch appox 1 year, 3 months,6 months etc....how close is it accully and a new island would be nice to for all the shit we go through for the game Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
suma 8 Posted September 16, 2002 Yes, the testing server is currently down. Netcode in the patch being developed is no longer compatible with 1.75 version and therefore there is no point having public server to test it, unless client is also available (which currently is not).

Unfortunately it also means that it will most likely still take quite some time until we finally get it. There's no client available yet, and if changes are so grave, they might want to do a beta before releasing the patch. Welcome back to the MPTest board...

Sh@d0w_Killer 1 Posted September 16, 2002 GIVE US PATCH OR GIVE US DEATH! HOW MUCH LONGER CAN IT GO ON.....It is getting to a point now where people are just not going to play....we had to reboot our server like 3 times lastnight because of the ghosting problem....at least give us the patch to fix that...i have resolved this... 1) you can't fix the bug... 2) or you have everyone's money and just don't care... 3) or are just too busy working on other project's and don't care about ofp anymore this is the best game out there,but you will not get another dollar of mine and alot of other players money anymore if you don't stand by your product and give us a fix...don't you guys care?

Espectro (DayZ) 0 Posted September 16, 2002 Sh@d0w_Killer.... just.... Shut up, ey? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skunk Monkey 0 Posted September 16, 2002 Look Shadow, In this forum you can read threads which state they have fixed some of the issues, the fact they have got a patch later than 1.78 means as Escpectro says that they must have made some signifivcant changes from 1.75. When working well 1.75 IS better than 1.46.... Hopefully when we get the next patch it will resolve these issues but its still a great game ... and even with the bugs i happily pay my Å20. for the addon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
suchey 0 Posted September 17, 2002 Im just glad to see signs that the patch is being worked on. Its been really quiet regarding this topic for quite some time. Suma...is there any sort of estimated timeframe on this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PRiME 1 Posted September 17, 2002 Last time I was on this server I was told to Buzz off because it was now private, Havn't been there ever since. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sh@d0w_Killer 1 Posted September 17, 2002 You guy's must not play on a daily basis or you would be a little upset...my point is that they have been promising a patch for quite sometime now..I play everyday and with ofp(cold war crisis) they released several patches right off the bat to fix some of the major crisis. And now with resistance we have some major bugs,just look at the threads...All we are asking for is a temp patch to fix the major bugs like the ammo crate bug and the ghost player bug..fix these 2 and i will shut up....and if you got nothing better to do than flame me for asking for some info on the patch...get a life Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I dont know about the sockets code, but with directplay our 1.75 server has been working very well with really no problems of any kind. I hope the new patch will have voice for sockets code too so it could be used on our server... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
suchey 0 Posted September 17, 2002 Prime...you have to remember that the voted admin feature allows folks who wouldnt normally be in any power position to gain said position. If you stumble across that type of behavior by an admin or players in any server, I would recomend contacting the head-admin or someone that you know is an authority on the server to get the real story and report that type of behavior.
