nyles 11 Posted July 4, 2003 I just had one of these nice timeout experiences in OFP again. Of around 5 different maps I played online this evening, i got a timeout on 2 occassions, and was dropped to the desktop because OFP closed itself on another 2 times. Now this is really really really really starting to annoy me. We have been reporting this bug for months now, and there was not a single reply from behalf of BIS in this troubleshooting forum. This bug is happening very often nowadays. Maybe there is something wrong with the Netcode, maybe it is triggered by certain commands, but it certainly DOES EXIST. If you ignore this, chances are high that it will be still present with OFP2. Even though this bug appears very frequently, it seems that it is limited to a certain group of players only. But don't underestimate the number of players, who encountering this bug, as when you play online, there are many people EVERY game that are "loosing connection". My clanmates and I have observed that most of the time quite a number of players are suffering from this timeoutbug at the same time. As sometimes two or more people of my clan are timing out, we could see that the timeout seems to be related to the sudden closure of OFP, where you are dropped to the desktop. Chances are very high that if one player's OFP shuts down without warning, the some player's who are on the same server are loosing connection. Can you folks at BIS please look into this, and provide us with a fix for this very unpleasent experience? Especially in the already weakening Mulitplayer segment of OFP, bugs like this are not really helping in keeping a large clan community. Please stop ignoring this problem like you seem to have done in the past, or if you are aware of it and unable to pinpoint the reason, still give us a little statement. It is one of the few bugs left in the OFP netcode it seems, but it is definetely one of the most annoying ones to encounter, especially during league matches. Please, talk to us!

nyles 11 Posted July 7, 2003 I just had several games with many players, where i timed out a few times. In some games, I could see that at least one person was timing out just before me. This is very very annoying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pynaple 0 Posted July 7, 2003 I agree very annoying!! 1.91 final, loosing connection problems. *see also connection lost thread And in the game dev's word's "There's a serious problem in Operation Flashpoint 1.75 and above (including versions 1.90/1.91). As Nyles mention's are you aware of this loosing connection problem in M/P? and if so what is it's possible cause? If the community are getting partitions deleted and loosing connection for no apperent reason, other than to be using 1.75 => and nothing is done about it, ofp2 will be a hard sell to those all but devoted fans. (Once bitten twice shy). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
benu 1 Posted July 8, 2003 Any idea what is causing this? It seems that always the same people are losing connection. It never happened to me, but some of my players get it quite often. Maybe something to do with firewall or network settings? As server creation seems to fail if some network settings aren't right, and the partition bug seems to be related to networking/firewall issues too, maybe ofp as a whole is very susceptible to incorrect network settings?!?
