sorry if someone had suggest those before... It would be nice to allow the use of personnal weapons when you are in a truck, an apc or a chopper (from the open door). The radio is an "important" item in a squad and in a platoon. It could be nice to have a simple system like this : First : If you own a radio you can receive orders and informations from "papa charlie" (messages could came from different frequencies defined in script), if you not own one, you can't. Radio is part of the equipement of a soldier like binoculars, and could be found in differents sizes and effectiveness ranges. A standard infantery squad just own one radio, a counter terrorist team own one for each soldier. Second : If you are below a certain range from your leader or a fellow(eventually modified by your squad attitude) the system of communication work has it work now (i forgot the idea of a line of sight). If you are away of this range, you can't hear your leader or your group fellow except if both have a radio in effective range. Optionaly it could be nice to have the script capabilities to describe an EW environment to disturb both/one side communications (for example 0 : roger that, 100 : can't read you with nice noises effects like scrrrrrrrrrrr,bzzzz ) Last suggestion : an order to set the area your squad cover like : 1 man each 2 meters (close assault), 5 meters, 10 meters, 20 meters,...

as i read it in an other topic : www.thechainofcommand.com is all you need (realy good add-on you must have)

cable modem average 30-40" on ping and the things i describe were always done by the same guys (selective lag ??)

[TU]$33ker (what a name !!!) yesterday i killed a guy in a CTF game near my flag, and this guy killed me 10 seconds later. It was impossible to cross the map in 10 seconds (carl lewis do this in 45/60 seconds). I don't know if it's the power of a cheat code or something like that, but if i cross this guy in real life , he has to run faster than in the game. I have some other examples of guys who disepear and kill you in the back (lag they said, ah ah ah i said). I never search for cheat codes for OFP so i don't know if they make all those things possible, but i am sure of one thing : all those actions are not possible without some "help". And how many guys where not dead after i put a whole magazine in their head ? Cheatters go to your playXnintendosegastationBox and play supermariothecolorplumber and leave us.

Victory is mine I try the agp x 1 and it doesn't produce any differences but i noticed the game crash after sounds. So i get back to creative site for a driver. And my card wasn't in there list. So i wrote to creative (dear creative, i am very confused, bla, bla) and they gave me a driver. Now it's 4:35 and after 3 hours of play it crash just one time (between two games frozen crash). This time i think all is ok. So for guys like me, who run a w98 on an old computer i say : don't use the last 4in1 drivers (they crash the computer not only in OFP), and ask for creative the proper driver for your old sound blaster because they don't show all of them. Now, I am going to bed with sweet dreams about battle fields and dead budies

many thanks for that answer. let's go for some tests in AGP x1 ... before going to buy a new computer

I hate cheater in multi, so if there is some cheat codes it could be nice if they have no effects in multiplayer game. Except if there is a cheat code to eject cheaters from the game. To cheaters who are reading me : go back to nursery school, it's your place. You re wasting your time and my time.

Good idea Black dog but i already do it and as they say they do not answer. So maybe it help for the future but it doesn't help for my problems

i wrote a topic about my troubles few weeks ago : OFP randomly crashed after 5 to 30 minutes and i couldn't play in multi player. It happened after the installation of the patch 1.91. I tried many things : read all the avon lady faq (nice job and nice picture of the webmaster ) read "all" the topics related to my problem on this forum, Update my drivers (VIA chipsets, NVidia, Sound blaster), Update my bios (K7M motherboard), Update DX 8.1 to 9, Reinstall OFP with no add ons, Reinstall Windows (w98 se), Changed the IDE channel settings, changed the sound hardware acceleration settings, try to play in 800x600, reducing the view range to 900 meters, cut the antialiasing, 64Mb aperture size in the bios all those things in many combinations The crash is very "clean". I am on the desktop and everythings work well (even OFP if i rerun it immediatly). I made a step forward : the latests VIA 4 in 1 drivers are not good for w98se (read it on the VIA website), so i installed the 4.35 and i can now play in multiplayers and play longer (about 20 to 30 minutes thanks to VIA). But 20 to 30 minutes it's very short and very boring because the crash don't wait for the end of my play (could be acceptable if). OFP was one of the most stable game i had : it crashed 1 time a week before the 1.91 and i used it 1 to 5 hours a day (shorts nights). Now i play Raven Shield who crashed 1 time a day or never crashed (very acceptable). This is the proof for me, that my hardware working well (i had some heat problems but it's fixed). I play other games like Orbiter, Close combat or Europa Universalis but they are less system ressources consummers. But they worked. So i put this bottle to the sea with my config and flashpoint.rpt (don't think dxdiag report help because it said everythings well). If you have any ideas... Config : Athlon 700 Motherboard K7M 256 Mo 20 Go HDD (2 to 5 Go free for swap i think it's enough for OFP) GeForce 4 MMX 440 Realtek netcard RTL8139/810x SB PCI 300 W battery Drivers : GeForce : 4.14.01.4345 (this is not the last but OFP crashed with all versions and the driver was left after an other combination trying) SB : 5.12.01.5017 VIA : 4.35 Directx 9 (i tried differents combinations of DX versions and nvidia drivers and the result is the same : crash) Flashpoint report (the last games after the installation of the correct 4In1 drivers)

IT WORKS !!!! few weeks before, i had some cooler problems, so i had clean them and remove the CPU to do this. The coolers are dead again (they are too old after 3 years ). So again, i remove the cpu and clean them. One of them was very close to cables and pushed on them. I remove it and you know what : I play OFP for a full hour. Thanks to the god of the computer voodoo !!!! Anyway my computer is up to date now. And i can wasting time again on the one of the 10 best games ever made. Thanks all, good luck to the others my advice :buy a live chicken and sacrifie it, it can help

The sound card is a SB PCI 128. With the original driver it worked well, with the new one it worked very well I made update of the driver before it began to crash. So i don't think there is a link. How it began : When you patched OFP or it suddenly appear ?

it crash again. With the logitech driver the game run longer. I was too optimistic. I used the microsoft driver before 13:00 hours to day. what you think about that : crash in mission : Exception code: C0000005 ACCESS_VIOLATION at 00515A39 Version 1.91 Fault address: 00515A39 01:00114A39 C:\PROGRAM FILES\JEUX\CODEMASTERS\OPERATIONFLASHPOINT\FLASHPOINTRESISTANCE.EXE file: c02battlefields (__cur_sp) world: eden crash in mission from the mission editor : Exception code: C0000005 ACCESS_VIOLATION at 01B61E35 Version 1.91 Fault address: 01B61E35 01:00040E35 C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\D3D8.DLL file: Mission1 world: Cain crash in mission editor in "edit mode" : Exception code: C0000005 ACCESS_VIOLATION at 18BAD74C Version 1.91 Fault address: 18BAD74C BF:00436BAC file: world: Cain crash in the main screen : Exception code: C0000005 ACCESS_VIOLATION at 0053921A Version 1.91 Fault address: 0053921A 01:0013821A C:\PROGRAM FILES\JEUX\CODEMASTERS\OPERATIONFLASHPOINT\FLASHPOINTRESISTANCE.EXE file: intro1 world: Cain again in the editor (but it's ILLEGAL_INSTRUCTION not ACCESS_VIOLATION) : Exception code: C000001D ILLEGAL_INSTRUCTION at 00681EC3 Version 1.91 Fault address: 00681EC3 01:00280EC3 C:\PROGRAM FILES\JEUX\CODEMASTERS\OPERATIONFLASHPOINT\FLASHPOINTRESISTANCE.EXE file: world: noe is there any link between all those crashs ? Now i have only OFP/RedHammer/1.42Patch(reinstall all yesterday)/Resistance/1.91 patch no addon, no modifications, OFP is like a baby the day he was born. I noticed there is always disk access "before" it crash. But it could be the flashpoint.rpt writing, so i don't know if it's related.

i made a mistake with the mouse. It's on the usb port. Anyway this post gave me an idea. Now i use the logitec driver. Yes i have lost the left side button and i have to play with two hands (hard brain job) but it seems to work. Now the question is : how can i have OFP working with my left side double click button again ? And of course with a non crashing OFP ?

what a vicious question !!! it's an american megatrend but the manual in on the back of a box that is in the back of a cupboard, so i don't remember the serial/version number. Maybe if i reboot 10 or 12 times i could read it on my screen . If you seem it's mandatory i will find this "saloperie" (french naughty word) of manual. The mouse (i forgot it) is a logitech with a little wheel and one thousand buttons - very usefull in OFP - plugged on a PS2 mouse port. Anyway nothing had changed in my hardware since i bought the geforce 4 and at this time it worked well. The motherboard was still here for ofp, red hammer and resistance. My theory is that the protection system is running bad. The program act as an unofficial version but it's not. Is there any checksum verification or something like that on a "unreadable track" ? My cd is old (bought the game the week it was in stores), very used (25 hours a day), and maybe it's broken on a track only read by the protection system. I can't validate this theory cause the missions are too short and i don't realize if the fading system running (i play so well too ) BIS team members i know that you can't answer this kind of question about the protection system, but if my theory is good is there any solution (you can mail me the answer ) ? I think about the protection system because as i said, the crash is very clean and didn't affect the stabilty of the system. It's strange for a random crash specialy on a windows 98.

resistance crash on my computer not really randomly. It's a long story : I have ofp, ofp gold add-on and resistance. They are all officials (and not so cheap) versions. Before the 1.90 patch ofp crash one time a week (a very good window's software crash rate). With the 1.90 the frequency become 1 time a day (a normal window's software crash rate). So i update all i can : sound card, video, the famous VIA chipset drivers. Nice ! Some of my others games (like Europa Universalis 2) who had little crash problems worked perfect. But my "one of the 10 best game in the history of computer games" (ofp is a shorter name) still crashed. All stay this state (1 time a day is an acceptable crash rate). The 1.91 path arrived : Installation, play, mission edition and ... crash. Again : play, mission edition and ... crash. Again : Play and ... crash So after 10 minutes of pure adrenaline and running/crashing : Scandisk, defrag, windows update, looking for new new Drivers, reading Forums, trying 1000 combination of drivers, directx version, complete software reinstall with and without addons, complete windows reinstall (one of the 10 best in the world, when you love you don't count), again drivers combination, directX 8,9,10,11, etc..., etc... And you know what : except for the other games i used for testing the configuration nothing change : running, playing and suddenly crashing. Other things i try : cut off the antivirus (nod 32), cut off the firewall (zonealarm), remove the sound drivers. All those things didn't nothing. It still crash. How it crash : when i am in the editor and click the left button of the mouse when i am in a game and click the left button again when i do absolutly nothing - no key press, no mouse moving, nothing - (multiplayer waiting stage or main screen for example) it crash in about 2 or 3 minutes. When i play it works longer. I can play sometimes 2 or 3 missions before it crash. The editor is the less stable function now. When OFP crash it's a very clean exit. I can rerun the game immediatly, there is no zombies dll or other dirty things. It has no impact on the stability (it crash at the same speed) and i can run any game i want after it crashed. On the flashpoint.rpt the adress of the crash point (a nice new name for my favourite game) is never the same and they are not in the same "range" (like a randomly crash). The system : 98SE/SBPCI128/GEForce4MMX440/Athlon700/128Mo/5GO free for the swap if ofp need it/DirectX9 not usefull but i don't want to go back to 8.1 it changed nothing All the drivers are now up to date. All the other games i used worked perfect. Only OFP crash and it never happened this frequency before 1.90 and specially before 1.91. I have a theory (certainly the only bad thing i do with the reinstall) : i reinstall OFP/OFP gold addon/Resistance and then put the 1.91 patch. I didn't apply the 1.46 before the installation of Resistance. I don't think it is related but if it can help you to help me... When i launch resistance from the cd or from the shortcut it is the same. I AM NOT HAPPY AND I AM NOT GOING TO PREORDER OFP2 NOR BUY IT IF MY OLD OFP IS MYSTERIOUSLY AND SUDDENLY BROKEN.
