sicilian 0 Posted February 28, 2004 Gabgab, we wouldn't post these problem if it's not related!!! Same missions played since long time and there wasn't any disconnect like this. And therfore I cant believe that it's caused by firewall setting or any connection problems! Player who didnt get these message before 1.95 and 1.96 I guess they havn't changed anything in their connection or firewall. Personally I havn't got this problem but also in my clan there are some people having it... And I know they havn't it before! So anything has changed with this version, dunno what but anything causes it. Perhaps the checks in the newer version causes connection trouble on some machines? Another possiblity is that many addons loaded at gamestart could cause this while they've been checked on a 195/196 server or game couldn't handle it anymore? One question to the developers... Should we collect the flash..rpt and .bin from related people having this problem and send it as a whole package? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpeedyDonkey 0 Posted February 28, 2004 I had this problem alot before. But it turned out to be something isp related, and now they've fixed it and it works fine now. Since then i've only gotten this message once and i think that was server related. But Im not using 1,96 atm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GabKa73 0 Posted February 28, 2004 If it's isp related, try to change the standard ofp port. Hey SpeedyDonkey, are you talking about OFP or eDonkey? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Major Fubar 0 Posted February 28, 2004 Anyone had any problems with the FlyInHeight command under 1.96? A friend of mine is designing a mission, and keeps getting errors he never had before. He also has a ton of addons installed, so not 100% sure it's 1.96 related... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If they still have the problems it will be alot easier to locate the bug. Even if the mission is a original without any custom units they still might crash because of the addons.

Major Fubar 0 Posted February 28, 2004 True...he's going to do a fresh install soon anyway. I was just wondering if it was a known bug. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gundam007 0 Posted March 4, 2004 when I try to run 1.96, it says that it cannot find ifc22.dll... help me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gundam007 0 Posted March 4, 2004 hmmm... that sucks. I just installed it. I see the ifc22.dll in the ofp directory and all other versions work.. OK.. I had to put the dll in the windows system directory Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Commando84 0 Posted March 9, 2004 I got two problems, one is the more instable netcode of ofpbeta 1.96 but that seems like old news but i got a cruncy piece of problem here my parents comp gets nutty when we play in Lan it shuts down the entire comp instantly or CTD's ofp .... .. but when playing on internet it usually works very well. The bad thing then is that i think we get slightly more lagg but the comp doesn't Reebot or crash to desk top after around 30 mins. Its a bell family pc with geforce 4 mx and 128 mb ram and it has some addons but it has not anything to do with the addon's because i've had this problem for several years now since ofp resistance came out and now when i even tried using G.o.t.y edition Well maybe its something about the hardware but i think i´t can't be it because it works to run the game fine in Sp without crashes and stuff untill you play mp in lan.

Cosmic Evolution 0 Posted March 9, 2004 Could the loss of connection problem be a result of increased bandwidth usage do the the new "anti-cheat" additions to the netcode? (Or something along these lines) I have also experienced the "no message received" error, playing CTI on a few servers, where it would last for around 10-25 sec. and then come back into the game. This (v1.96) is the first time I've ever seen this happen. In the older net code, the lost of connection was almost always permanent. Another error we have been getting alot recently is with the server crashing during a player connecting (probably due to a issue with an addon (ECP?) being used by the player thats attempting to connect. I will start asking these players what addons they have loaded when this occurs to see if we can narrow it down better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sicilian 0 Posted March 10, 2004 Remember they didn't change the netcode!!! First check your computer with tools like ad-aware or spybot to ensure its not your own fault! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shinRaiden 0 Posted March 13, 2004 Erm, Maruk acknowledged that the -twomon support in 1.85 worked but stretched the 2d overlays. He said that they expected to fix it in the 'next patch', but it is still stretched in 1.96b. Not a critical fix of course, just something to tweak. Thanks. btw folks, the trick to multi-monitors is 1) use Nvida, and 2) use "horizontal span". You have to trick windows into thinking that there is just one wide monitor then the special resolutions 'magically' appear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nyles 11 Posted March 15, 2004 After some weeks without further loosing connection indicents, I think I can say that the bug, whatever reason it had, seems gone. Same goes for most of the people that reported massed timeouts during mulitplayer gaming. After installing anti-spytool software, the constant loosing connection issues ceased. Maybe unrelated still worth a try. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

silenus 0 Posted March 17, 2004 The 1.96 beta patch worked on system like a NO-CD-Crack. With all the bad aspects(Fade), so I have to start it with the old exe. Has someone else this problem too??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Placebo 29 Posted March 17, 2004 If it's an official patch that you downloaded from an official link then you have no need to worry about how it behaves and what impact it might have Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpeedyDonkey 0 Posted March 17, 2004 Hi this might be a bit OT. What patches do you need if you have GOTY? 1,91 and 1,96? I assume that the installation order is "CWC ---> RH ---> RES ---> PATCHES Am i right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gadger 0 Posted March 17, 2004 Quote[/b] ]CWC ---> RH ---> RES ---> PATCHES I think you only need to install RH if you want to play the campaign. Yep the patches are 1.91 then 1.96 after installing Res. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
silenus 0 Posted March 18, 2004 Yes it is an official patch from http://ofp.gamezone.cz/ and I havo to worry about, because I can´t play 1.96 servers. When I start the game from cd it runs the FLASHPOINTRESISTANCE.EXE (v1.92) and not FLASHPOINTBETA.EXE (v1.96). It must be a bug that 1.96 will not work propper on my system (Winxp) because I got legal software. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
