GAMEER_77

I have a 56k modem and OFP:R used to work quite well in MP with it. However, recently the entire internet seems to freeze after a small period of time - maybe 30 seconds up to 5 minutes - stopping any data from being recieved. When I alt-tab out of the game, the two small computers show that data is being sent, every 3 or 4 seconds, but nothing being recieved. If I try and go to a web page, nothing comes. I can't hear anyone on Team Speak 2. I am confused as to what is wrong...I think it's only recently that this has happened. Also, it appears not to happen in-game, only in the in-game browser and so on 'till the game starts. Thanks for your help in advance, (Desperate) Gameer P.S. I don't think it's an ISP issue as, when I play C&C:Generals online, nothing of the sort happens. P.P.S. It also stops me from disconnecting, meaning I have to restart for it to allow me to reconnect.

Well I just un-done my System Restore as a matter of testing, and when I went into MP, sure enough it froze. I will now restore to a week ago and try it from then, then figure out just what day it was...and what I done then. Thanks Gameer

I don't think it is to do with auto updates as I've just checked and it's switched on (that's after the restore). I could be wrong, though... Gameer

I turn Messenger off when playing OFP on the net, but I do have auto update on... I'll check to see whether the system restore has switched auto update off or not. Gameer

Lol, and my persistant "chatting" makes things even worse

Well, I done a system restore to two weeks ago and, touch wood, it's working! Hurray! Still not exactly sure what's wrong, but a system restore solved it. Thanks for the help, gentlemen Gameer

Hmm...Perhaps someone can get something from this. I done this a few seconds after a freeze: Gameer

Never mind, got help from my stalker Will experiment Gameer

When I open it up, nothing happens except an MS-DOS prompt flashes and then disappears. I've read the readme, but all it says is: Usage: C:\>fport Gameer

Yeh, the internet works fine without opening OFP MP, there are no freezes... I will download those tools and report back. Gameer [Edit]I'm confused, what am I using FPort for?

This happens to me also (same mouse... good, innit?) but the problem is not 1.92, but Logitech and their shite drivers. If you alt-tab out then go back into OFP, and keep doing that eventually you'll be able to use it again. Failing that, ctrl+alt+del and then end the "EM_EXEC" process. Then go into control panel and then open mouse. Then close the window. Failing that, restart. Failing that, pray that Logitech hires some decent programmers. Gameer

But then why does it only happen in OFP?

Q1: Does it only happen when the unit's in safe mode? What about careless? Q2: Put: <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">titletext ["","BLACK IN",999999999999999999] Into the player's init field. (NOTE: You'll have to do another titletext with a much shorter fade in time to make the screen come up. That code just makes the screen go black.) Gameer

I just got that very same mouse today (Was going for MX700 but read about this and decided on the 500). Problem is, I can't get the spare buttons to work. Some times I can get the "Back" button to work (Button 4) but that's only sometimes. What did you do to get all of them to work? I've downloaded the latest drivers, and the "advanced" mouseware. Thanks Gameer

Lol, did no one see my post? By "decline" I mean descend....to go down....y'know. Not the same as auto-rotation, though - That'd be good. Gameer

There's some kind of thing (don't know the name) where, when the engine is off/damaged, you press on the "decline" key and it uses the rotor's shape and the air or something to make a softer landing.... Just try and see Might not work very well on big choppers. Gameer

If BIS reads this just a note to say that you spelt "required" wrong That's all

Apparently he's making a sequel... Gameer [Edit] What about letting you join the army? It's a big step, but it wouldn't have to be too complicated. You could sign up, do a few training excercises and then Nogova gets invaded or something.

There's nothing wrong with the background cutscenes, as long as they aren't too laggy (Ahem, Nogova) and do not include fadein/out *shudders Gameer

Hmm...you're right Don't know why I thought that. Try putting another fire a few feet under, just enough to cover up the smoke. Gameer

If you make fires with the drop command, it does give out light. Though, in my opinion, it's a little dark. Gameer

There's a 16 page feature in PC GAMER UK. Not read it yet, but they can't have much to work on. Must just be filled with nostalgia, hype and hear-say. Gameer

Resistance, without a doubt. I spent the rest of the day almost in tears after I completed it.

Excellent
