Guest Posted October 16, 2002 Have you checked the min specs for OFP...you are running real borderline! Time to blow your drive I think.....sounds SOOOOOOO messy by now that it would take less time to re-format than fix the mess that is there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sas_razor 0 Posted October 16, 2002 [sAS]Ruby is now running 1.85 on Directplay and all seems to be well again. To find us you will need to select directplay. fps rates begin at 49fps and move down to 16fps under very heavy load. All seems well. Under 1.85 sockets fps began at 32 and moved down to 6. The flares work well too (all can see them) so night maps are currently very popular. This may be a work around until 1.85 fix is available.

JRMZ 0 Posted October 16, 2002 So you are saying the desync problems and lag are gone when running server in direct play mode? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skunk Monkey 0 Posted October 16, 2002 Well Mondays night I went to patch OFP and it gave me the message that my installation was currupt due to some missions and MPmissions being bad. I copied them from the CD, still bad. I reinstalled ofp and res and it patched fine. I THEN MADE A BACKUP COPY OF OFP. We played fine on the server all night. Tuesday i got home from work but ofp kept freezing at the 2nd splash screen :-S tried running with the -nospalsh setting and it froze at "Wait a moment" Reverted to the backup I had donr the previous evening and all was fine. Went to my server and people were being disconnected with errors to do with custom faces and sounds .... does not match file in /temp/..../user/face.jpg ...user/sounds/sound.ogg Restarting the server solved all these problems but non of the Faces were above 60K or sounds above 40K (The players had been playing 10 mins before with no probs). There were people who were experiancing connection problems as if they had a ghost on the server (but didnt) ie cant connect via ingame browser (connecting failed) and server not showing up when connecting via hosts.txt or Remote. Yes We also get the #missions bug but swapping admins or signing in and out solves it, our server is reported as 1.85 requires 1.82 in the browser / hosts list. Well I hope this helps BIS, I'm fed up of people slating them in this forum they have done a great job with OFP and if you look at all the readme.txt from version 1.0 all the way to 1.85 you will see how much work they have done, and I for one am happy. Suma has posted to say he is aware of the 1.85 problems and I'm sure we will all soon be happy bunnies. And while I'm on the subject Please stop whininging about how there is no support for 1.46 anymore - BUY THE F@#~!*G ADDON its not that expensive and with all the work BIS have done they do deserve it. I Will be first in line for OFP 2 as well when it comes out, just as I was for Resistance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aeon 0 Posted October 16, 2002 I have a big trouble with patch 1.85 I can launch OFP, play campaign, edit mission, and one time I gathered remote host (not dedicated, both in 1.85) without problem BUT recently I tried to join dedicated server. I can see and select server with ingame browser, when I try to reach any of them, I crash ! I mean I REALLY crash, not just a return to destock, my operating system crash : reboot (Just after I click OK, sometimes I have "Wait for server" message but crash anyway) I've got WinXP (updated but without SP1), CPU Athlon, connexion ADSL. If I remove all unofficial addons from C:\Program Files\Codemasters\OperationFlashpoint\ADDONS C:\Program Files\Codemasters\OperationFlashpoint\Res\AddOns it's a little better, I can (rarely) reach and play dedicated server, but most of the time issu is a nasty reboot You can understand I won't search and give more data on this trouble, cause I'm feed up to reboot and it's not healthy for my OS I'm going to reinstall OFP(1.0)/OFP:R/1.85 but I'm sure it won't resolve the trouble, also I and we are waiting for next patch. Until that day my OFP CD collect the dust. And if incoming patch don't resolve trouble, I will definitively bit the dust -end transmission- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sh@d0w_Killer 1 Posted October 16, 2002 I have had a terrible time with my pings since the release of 1.85. Before it was released iI was getting steady 40-45 ms ping times during gameplay. Now it has jumped all the way up to 110-125....this is totally unacceptable....to make it worse lastnight I had to stop playing because of the desync was getting so bad because my pings went up to 300+ ofmg! I've check my connection using several dsl reports and all of them are showing me with 1400+ down and 80+ up, i'm on cable and my provider is giving us 1550 down and 128 up...so the connection is not the problem....although my upload times could be a little better I don't think OFP uses that much upload anyway...anyone else with similuar problems?

Abrams 0 Posted October 16, 2002 yes Shadow. on cable connection ping on 1.75 was 40-70 now it`s 200-500+(not my OFP my friend tested it) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skunk Monkey 0 Posted October 17, 2002 Well the problems have continued tonight. We fixed the #missions bug by deleting the mission selct part of the config .... But there was still massive lag with 1.85 ... Tried Directplay but everyones disconnects after 2-10mins ... Keep trying and maybe I'll find something that makes the server more stable without going back to 1.75 ... I heard oo7vet who runs the vetservers may have found out something ... but I'm still in his bad books, so I guess he wont tell me, but I hear his server is running better than ever ...

Major Fubar 0 Posted October 17, 2002 I don't know if this is a 1.85 thing or not, but I was playing a mission yesterday as a resistance V-80 pilot, and I couldn't take it above 150. I ended up having a dogfight with an MI-24 that didn't seem to have the same restriction, so I was constantly fighting it from below, and was losing badly. Anyone know if this is an existing problem, a new problem, or was specific to the mission I played? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ixian 0 Posted October 17, 2002 I'm not going to read all these pages because its late and im too lazy so I dont know if my question was asked yet.  But sense d/l 1.85 my computer has constantly been crashing to desktop while I have been in Mission Editor.  It has also frozen in Mission Editor.  I also cant play my Campaign anymore it crashes to desktop when I attempt to and says  something like cannot memory-campaigns/1985.pbo.  Anyone else having this problem?  I don't think the fix patch will do anything about this problem   i hope it will. or i will be  mad I didn't have any problems at all before I installed this.

RMATICH 0 Posted October 17, 2002 The patch is working just fine for me! Sorry don't meen to gloat but with all the computer problems I've had it feels like I've been belssed this time. Do'nt hate me because I'm beutiful or because 1.85 works [so far]. P.s. I don't play multiplayer so I wouldn't know about the MP lag etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

joltan 0 Posted October 17, 2002 Some more things I've seen: AI bmps definitely have problems crossing the small bridge on the island north of Nogova. Either they fall in the water, or they will go around and swim through the water. This never happened in 1.75. First i thought it was just a freak incident, but it happens in about 90% of the time when repeating the mission in Mp. The bmp's in save behaviour mode and there's no waypoints on the bridge itself.

brgnorway 0 Posted October 18, 2002 Strange thing occured today. It doesn't bother me though, but I suppose someone might be picky about these things: I happen to love playing Revenge single mission. Most of the time I go for the AK-47 with grenades. When I loaded the mission I got a message saying something like "Cannot load mission". Obviously it could, but there was no option to choose the above mentioned AK-47. Instead I got to choose between xms and other "resistanceweapons". Later, I played it again - and everything was normal. Would be nice to have the option of using the xms even though it's not a ruskie weapon! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tools 0 Posted October 19, 2002 I installed the 1.85 patch and all of the explosions stoped working. The impact was visible with resulting damage and crater formation, but no fire or smoke was visible. I have two running versions of the game and checked the 1.75 version and it worked fine. Anyone have a clue why this is? If BIS keeps updating the game and the updates only work on a percentage of computers the the ability to use addons requiring the newest patch will greatly reduce player ability to use new addons and player made missions. Not to mention what the updates do to currently made missions. Not that I don't want to see improvement in the game, but I would like to know they won't completly change how work I've done will run. tools Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
