Clapper 0 Posted October 5, 2002 I thought I was left with single-player mode in OFP due to the difficulty in finding server (that were being created, etc). Â Now with the new embedded Gamespy interface, server statuses and join in progress. Â You don't have to sit around waiting for a server. Â I'm glad I checked it out today. Â Unfortunately, it took me awhile to get away from the single missions and try multiplayer again since OFP first came out. Keep up the good work BIS! Â I'll be there for your next expansion/version too Clapper. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LowLevelFunctionary 0 Posted October 5, 2002 Agreed! The old way to get into a multiplayer game trhough Gamespy was completely unreliable, and took ages to exit and get back into the game. You felt as if the multiplayer of OFP hadnt been worked on. But with resistance, gamespy is no more for me. I only use it when I play Flightsims now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's a part of the sitting around issue. The other was trying to find servers available. Choose the multiplayer option within the game and change LAN to Internet -- voila, everything you need to get gaming fast. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
suchey 0 Posted October 5, 2002 I think you mean joining a server while the game is in progress...the join in progress which is the holy grail around here is being able to get into a game while the game is being played...(IE...jump in and start playing immediately) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hit_Sqd_Maximus 0 Posted October 5, 2002 The ingame browser still has a big prob w/ "connecting failed" messages which is hopefully fixed in 1.85 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Â I tried to join a game playing and it said "wait for server". Â Umm, I could've sworn players were dropping and rejoining the game I was playing. Â Maybe it was a previous player that dropped. Regardless, the new interface definately makes it easier to find a server you can actually join rather than check out each server manually and find it's in play at the moment.
