Yes there does seem to be some latency issues... however all in all better than previous releases. Hopefully 1.49 will be released soon and resolve the latency issues.

I am sure we will see 1.49 soon. Many issues should be resolved in that release as well as more stability. Patience...

Day 2 and no crashes yet! We also see no new issues. 1.48 looks good for release!

So we see no console... seems fairly useless for true dedicated servers. Would rather see something such as WHO IS SPEAKING implemented or true Logs.

Now another bug was with the RPG we fired it a BMP and then saw we had 50 Cal with 500 rounds of ammo. weird it only happened 2 times but very weird.<span id='postcolor'> Are you sure these bugs are new? Is there anything more you could tell me about them?<span id='postcolor'> Yes absolutely sure this was new. It was VERY Weird and have never ever had the Ammo of a Mgun (500 rounds) on my guy. (just a regular soldier). The warping was pretty bad as well as a HUGE increase in lag on the same Missions. Remember we run a 24/7 packed server... we know when things are fishy. It was definitely starting to smell Have upgraded to 1.48 Beta... will see how things go.

Suchey... I believe memory is the core issue with the increased crashes in 1.46.

lol @ Dave In our experience thus far Clan Matches are somewhat unreliable in OFP. Fun but not somethiing to hat your hat on due to some issues with Servers and Netcode. Make sure whatever you do that you are playing matches on a REAL Good server (1.4Ghz+ with 1GB Ram and nothing else running on the system) with VERY high speed connection (T3 or better with more than 50% capacity available).

Morgan... that would be the 'Who is Speaking' option that people want. When someone speaks it would say who is speaking with maybe a small Mic symbol next to their name or an extra display on the screen that pops up when someone talks. For now though I think even if they made it show up when you looked at the Playerlist with a MIC/Speaker symbol it would be enough to get the Spammers out.

In my experience it is working pretty good. I have watched and whenever someone connects with a different Config than that of the Server it definitely let's you know. However, I have also notcied that it will give false readings with a slow connection (i.e. High Pings and lag situations). So i would put it at about 98% reliable... just watch the person it reports the config message on. If they have a bad connection did it read out a full message or just that their config was different? If it gives you a path (within the Config.bin) then you should be aware you probably have a cheater on your hands. If it is plain without the path it may just be lag...

Yep... and I know many people that feel the same way. People that stick with games such as MOHAA and Wolf and such for MP are usually small minded and do not wish to change their ways. (i.e. learn to Fly and Drive Tanks) They are comfy with just shooting a gun and running. Now for SP... MOHAA and Wolf are cool because they have a plot and you play a role. Like Max Payne which IMO for SP is one of the best. But again OVERALL OFP blows them all away. There just is NO comparison. Now we just need Administration attention

Yep. We continue to host HL, CS, DOD, Wolfenstein, and MOHAA. (Althoguh inferior in Gameplay they are superior in Administration aspect). I mean i really prefer OFP in all aspects other than the Administration side. I am sure BIS will get there... after all the HL engine has been out for a long time and was based on the Quake/Quake2 engine I believe so it has many more years behind it. I truly hope BIS listens and looks at all this stuff. It would be awesome to have more Administrative tools and abilities such as Logging.

Reverend how so? Logs and Netcode are the 2 largest things that people desire based on response and Polls I have seen. 1) Better NetCode 2) Detailed Server Side Logging 3) Who is Speaking (so Mic Spammers and such can be kicked) 4) More and Better Dedicated Server Admin Commands (i.e. in game Banning)

Maybe you could post the Mission you speak of with EXACT directions of how to replicate the crash. others could also test the scenario.

Actually BIS could lock it down and then release a type of SDK. Not sure where they stand on that but I think that would be the way to go.

Config.cpp replacements do work even in 1.46. What is fixed is that even addons placed in Addons folder could modify some (very few) config fields, resulting in "modified config" message.<span id='postcolor'> Hmmm... no i think we are straight. What I was saying is that I haven't seen it done yet. It seems a-lone-wolf will show "not a valid array" when you run it as the config.cpp I had assumed that maybe it was now not able to. Or maybe it was more of a hope

What's the Parameter to require a certain version on a Dedicated Server? So that we can make people use 1.46. Hmmm... We find it impossible to police such events due to the fact we now have several servers online and they are fairly large capacity. Suggestions?

Most config entries are protected agains addon modification. There was one small hole - one type of fields that was considered in integrity check but write access was allowed. This hole should should be fixed now.<span id='postcolor'> Actually I have yet to see a HOOK work using a-lone-wolf's decompiled code for 1.46 and 1.45 like used to happen prior to the release of 1.45/1.46. (via Satchels or other programs) Can ANYONE confirm that you can't hook into the CONFIG.BIN now via CONFIG.CPP? If this has been closed for sure then BIS did truly patch the majority of the cheats with the 1.45/1.46 release.

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote (ArmourDave @ Mar. 06 2002,14:25)</td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">Yep and it's 99% of the time people with the 'FragHaus Tag' that are causing the problems. Kegetys has done alot of good work for the community with his addons and without his input in the early days an awfull lot of addons wouldn't of ever been released. Not to mention the fact I haven't seen kegetys do anything against our rules. Like Placebo said, we dont want to have to take action against fraghaus forum members, but if the immature name calling and general bitching continues then we will be forced to do so.<span id='postcolor'> First off I spoke to Placebo personally on ICQ. I have the log if you would like to see it Dave. I think you guys really need to step back on this and take a hard look. FragHaus players are some of your largest supporters and they are becoming frustrated... they are very noisy group but you definitely want them talking. They are a bunch of North American (US mostly) good ol boys. Second... look at my posts. They are professional... and they are mere responses on a sophisticated level. I have merely responded. Sorry my responses are the Truth and if they offend someone I apologize. They however did in no way call anyone names or stoop to low levels. I am here because I care about OFP and BIS/Codemasters and their products. Third...you do not understand FragHaus and what it is. FragHaus is the largest server network supporting OFP. We have hundreds of people posting on this list... however understand they are all individuals with individual views. They have their own minds... I do not control them. Fourth... you need to look at all the topics and you will see Keg is as much to blame as any other individual. I know he may be your 'friend' but understand he is definitely no more important to this community than others. Fifth... either lock down the topics you feel are going wrong or learn to read them in their entirety. I know being a Moderator for such a large forum is not easy... but guys you must realize that you have multiple societies clashing here. It's truly a melting pot full of different people from different parts of the world. The US and Canadian people are VERY aggressive and sometimes lacking in typing skills (heh)... while the guys from Europe (and abroad) are pretty snippy and short as well as sometimes self-righteous. Realize that people are VERY different. Sixth... I apologize if the above statements in my fifth point offended anyone from N. America or Europe. It is a generalization and my feelings. You see my wife is from Europe (Holland) and I have had more personal encounters with the differences in the cultures than most... and that is how I see it Sometimes we argue over stupid things because our minds sometimes just aren't insync. Due to the differences in culture backgrounds. </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote (Suma @ Mar. 06 2002,16:31)</td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">As you may have noticed, I changed the topic name to be more appropriate.<span id='postcolor'> Thanks Suma.

You need to change your name to ViciousAvonLady

Well they would be wrong to do so. Read my posts...

We have the SAME problem. I have emailed support@bistudio.com and have not heard a solution or reason yet. I encourage others having this problem to email your context.bin and flashpoint.rpt files to them. We need this fixed ASAP... it is happening to all I fear. So currently there are NO stable servers running OFP (Up and Down all over ASE if you watch)

Yeah... and to make it easy I would simply say <span style='color:red'>Cable Sucks</span>. If you want details contact me offlist

Trigger Happy Yeah them scores are crazy at FragHaus huh? I used to think I understood the Scorring but anymore it's kinda messed up. For example... SU25's score as SOFT targets. Now that's screwy Anyway... if ya need hosting Trigger let me know. I can help ya guy.

Placebo as I mentioned on ICQ, only a couple would represent FragHaus. Only one truly is responsible for FragHaus (me). If they don't show a 'FragHaus Tag' in some way then please don't assume they represent FragHaus. People have individual ideas and actions. If I stated something out of line or acted in anyway unbecoming in these forums I apologize. I do try to stay as professional as possible. Also... FHA (FragHaus Aliance) (the FH with the STAR) is a group that are Elite Players on FragHaus. Could be anyone from an Admin to just a good regular player on FragHaus. We are talking a pretty large group... and growing.

Kegetys... I am sorry but I have seen enough of your continual complaining. You 'own' nothing. You have no 'rights' to anything. 'IF' someone chooses to give you props for your little MOD's or MISSION's then you should say 'Thank You, Can I Have Some More Sir?' and leave it at that<span style='color:red'><span style='font-size:17pt;line-height:100%'>.</span></span> (I have made MODs and I have made Missions... and could careless where they are who uses them and if I get credit simply because while it may be a little time consuming it is SOOOO simple to do MODs and Missions and BIS are the ones who deserve all credit and have the rights to the game.) Now please stop following people around these forums ragging them about the subject. You have done it on no less than 5 different topics.
