What missions to you use the LD on? And do the target has to be within a certain range or what? -Rekrul

Well that was the problem as I said, even when I crawled they saw me. So when I legged it, I got away.

Let me be the first to say "huh?".

Actually what I did was to make a mad dash for it to the back of the house and over the hill. The bmp shot after me but I managed to get over the hill and dove into a bush. The BMP parks by the bush and there was a squad looking for me, but they gave up so I just pushed on, blew the fence and made it back. However when I went to the spot marked on the map, it didn't finish so I had to move even more wich almost made me re-play the mission as I thought I had to trigger something I didn't know. -Rekrul

nm, venting my frustration here must've helped.

I was a bit reluctant to upgrade to 1.40 due to the fact that it seems that BIS has a hard time making a upgrade not sending you into a spiral of frustration and reinstallation but the curiosity got the better of me. So I run the 1.40 upgrade from 1.30 and it says ok. I start up OFP and get this errormsg: "Cannot create 3D device: Adapter 0 (NVIDIA GeForce 2 GTS/GeForce 2 Pro) Fullscreen Resolution 1024x768x32, format X8R8G8B8/D24S8, Refresh 75Hz. Error E_OUTOFMEMORY" I remembered reading that if I run a DS server (wich I don't) I had to run Preferences first to create a file so I did, but that didn't help. So I tried a reboot, that didn't help. Tried changing settings in Preferences - no dice. I really wish BIS would give you the opertunity to uninstall the patches like you get when installing W2k SPs. Systemspecs: AMD Athlon 1.4ghz, 512MB RAM, GeForce 2GTS 32MB. -Rekrul

Excellent, thanks for your replies.

I'm running a DS on my puter at the office, but I play from home. Up till now I've used a NOCD patch on the server and not my own CD-KEY cause I didn't want my client to get FADE when I'm playing on my own server. I see that in 1.40 you don't need the CD anymore, does this mean I also can use the same CD-KEY on both the server and my client at home without getting FADE on my client? -Rekrul

Ok, it's very late for me but I belive it's common to connect to a server with a lower version but not higher. But yes, I like bugfixes and new features. -Rekrul

Btw, in BIS defence I don't think it was the upgrade's fault I got this errormsg, rather my tweaking as I used 'restore to default' on my cardsettings and only the texturemem was changed (increased) and then it worked. AvonLady: I already tried autodetect and have a bigger swapfile since I'm also playing WWIIOL but thanks for trying. -Rekrul

nm, fixed it now. I had to increase(!) the texturemem of the card. However I am quite frustrated over the fact that 1.40 clients can't connect to 1.30 servers. Way to not support backward compability! Don't misunderstand, I'm glad you're still bugfixing but as long as there are errors, I will be around to complain about them. -Rekrul

*yet another bump*

Also, dual CPUs won't help.

Btw, 2234 is also used by something called Direct Play so you might have something (software) controlling that port already. -Rekrul

You didn't tell us if you're sitting behind a router/firewall or if you run a firewall on your puter. So, do you? -Rekrul

FS2002=Fifa Soccer? If so, get KickOff2002 insted (release January). Steve Screech who was one of the Kick Off and Kick Off2 creators has made it, with a KO2002 fanbase to make the game as similar to KO2 as possible but with better gfx and new features. Also it's nothing like those other crappy KickOff titles that has been released the last 5-7 years... /end shameless plug -Rekrul

You need to make a server config file and use hostname="MyOFPserver"; finally you need to add -config=myserver.cfg to the commandline of your servericon. Read DS-Admin.rtf for more info on server cfg-files and the server.cfg wich is included in 1.30 I belive. -Rekrul

...wich is also where all the game info comes leaving you unable to play MP on Internet if you do...

I think there's a patch where you can play the campaign itself as MP. Haven't tested it tho. -Rekrul

Well you could have several settings for it like; AI=0 (AI takes available slots. Default) AI=1 (No AI on human teams) AI=2 (No AI at all) etc. Then you could set this in the server.cfg's mission class settings. -Rekrul

Yeah it would be great if you could get an icon to show who was talking. This would also make it possible to kick those who only wants to mess things up. And a server command where you could enable/disable channels or radio all together. Like if you only want to allow vehicle and direct talk (over microphone ofcourse). -Rekrul

*bump*

Ok, then it has _nothing to do with respawn. Hopefully BIS will look into it, but see if you know how to recreate the problem otherwise it will be pretty hard for them. The sooner they fix it, the better cause it can drive anyone postal. -Rekrul
