Indeed....99% of all your 'bugs' are simply engine limitations/restrictions. Dont expect these things to change, because they'd require almost a complete engine work-over.

Except for the overdose of echo in some sounds, it works pretty well. Just make sure you have Terratec XP drivers installed and HW sound disabled in the OFP options (EAX enabled works fine for me).

Let me put it this way: I'm a tester for BIS and sometimes an internal update has a bug that triggers Fade. I've seen it ALOT...so dont tell me that what I saw wasnt Fade, you'll only make a fool out of yourself. Look...if you refuse to believe me at any cost, then I'll rest my case.

Â Honestly why have a trouble shooting section in the forum if BIS never responds. Â Maybe its because they don't know the answers.<span id='postcolor'> Errrr....excuse me?? The BIS I know answers more questions than ANY other developer out there I've ever met (and trust me I know alot of them). You know why some of those polls get closed (not by BIS but by the mods)? Because we often have 10 polls/threads concerning the same issue on the same forum....forgive us, but we think that's just a waste of forumspace. If there's a usefull post about what should be added, or changed, or whatever...we'll leave it...I'll even point BIS to those threads if it's really interesting (trust me, they read it). But if I see 10 new threads "Where are my ^%&*$% OFP tools???" or "BIS promised us 100 players online and now I order them to make it possible!!", I will delete them. If you go to the TroubleShooting forum and ask a question, it'll be answered like 99% of the time. In the very rare occasion that there isnt a direct 'cure' for your problem, BIS will very often take note of this problem and will try to fix it asap.

Explain to me why I get that msg when I have bought a legit copy of the game?<span id='postcolor'> Because all players on a server get to see that mssg when some1 is using an illegal copy (often followed by that person getting auto-kicked). It's actually quite funny when it happens... "Remember: Original Games do not FADE" "Player_X disconnected" I've seen it happen tonnes of times....more than enough proof for me. I've seen the other FADE elements in action too...lousy MG accuracy (you wont be able to hit shit at 10 meters), locked vehicles (while they should be open), etc, etc... Now you can call me a liar or whatever you want....but I'm just telling you what I've seen happen to illegal copies. And no, they're not bugs being covered up under the excuse of "Fade", cuz we all know the aforementioned symptoms are not bugs. As Lupus said, there are ingame cheats you can use to skip missions and stuff, so there's no need for trainers that usually mess up most games (even the ones without Fade).

First of all, sorry for my lack of explanation on why I closed that thread. It was just the fact that I felt it belonged more to the addons forum (hey it was very late alright ), combined with the fact that I just closed 5 other polls on the other forums. Feel free to use the poll again....I promise I wont lock it again

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">Hmm which soundcard do you use Sith? I use a SB PCI 512 with drivers made who knows when cause CL is crap on making new drivers. Both the AK and M16 are very close to what I've heard in real life, although I find the AK,M60, and PK to have alot/excessive echo after a shot (guessing sound clip was in a firing range with alot of flat walls or hills around) but it ain't too bad. Handgrenades are pretty loud to me with more of a bang than the original. And now when I'm crawling I hear alot of equipment scrape and rustling, alot more than the original (good thing). And when I reload I hear a distinct removal of old magazine, insertion of new magazine and cocking of the breech.<span id='postcolor'> Hmmm....looks like your sounds are the exact oposite of mine then I have a Terratec DMX X Fire 1024 (doesnt run very well in combination with Win XP). I guess the problem lies with the drivers, so I hope they bring out better XP drivers soon. My AK and M16 miss that 'bang' that makes em sound like a real gun. Right now I get so much echo, it sounds like a silencer. Same happens to nades...they just dont have any 'boom' to them, just alot of echos. And I dont get much sounds while crawling or reloading Herer are some more things that came up while testing...but I think you can put them all on my soundcard's account... - The CH47 has a very loud 'turbine' type sound while in-flight. This is so loud that the Chinook's familiar 'thumping' sound is almost gone. It sounds more like a jet than a Chinook. - With most choppers (especially the CH47) you hardly hear the engine in the cockpit. I'd understand this if it were because of the ear-protection you're usually wearing in choppers, but since all weapon sounds do sound very loud, I dont think that's the case... - Jeeps and Hummers make a very loud crackling sound while driving (like if you're driving through the woods and r breaking alot of branches). It is much louder than the engine sounds themselves, resulting a rather weird driving experience. I have some more, but I'm off for some sleep now (didnt get much last night). I'll see if I can contact some guys over at BIS tomorrow and talk a bit about what could be done to fix the various issues. Good luck, good night. Sith out.

Oh and one more thing... I dont like the new crosshair. IMO the crosshair should be as small as possible, and without any colors. This will make it less 'present' to the player, giving it a more realistic feel.

Ok....I tested the addon a bit and there are a few things I noticed: - AK and M16 sounds are very weak. They almost sound like they have a silencer or something. - The handgrenade (and mortar) sounds are more like a 'puff' right now. I understand that they dont produce a Hollywood-style inferno, but right now they just sound like a rather loud smokeshell ignition. - New turret moving sound doesnt work for some vehicles (M2A2). - When I tried switching on Hardware acceleration ingame (started the game without), my sound went all crazy (high screeching sound)...this might be my soundcard tho. - Crawling over the ground hardly makes any sound. Crawling usually is kinda noisy, with all your gear dragging over the ground etc. You might wanna improve that a bit. - Weapon reloading sounds could use some work IMO. You hear 3 soft clicks and that's it. I like the new tank sounds (moving, turret, firing, etc), walking sounds...and the rest I still have to check out I'll be back with more results soon.

Hmm.....I selected Sector Control.... Wonder if I might be a bit biased on that one

Ok....check OFPN for a truckload of mirrors

Great job Satchel! OFPN is working on a FilePlanet mirror aswell

If the game can detect cracked EXE's or whatever, why not just have the game refuse to start.

"That way a cracker would know right off his cracked version ain't gonna work" FADE is every crackers worst nightmare, simply because you cant just 'start cracking, test it a bit...see if it works or not, and then release the crack'. FADE would require you to make a crack, test it for atleast several weeks, only to find out that it's still in there... Well I think you can understand that most crackers dont wanna spend 2-3 months just testing and adjusting their 'work' over and over again to see whether they got it right this time. The guy that came up with the idea for this system is one smart dude

Or if you feel lucky....fire a couple of shots (wide) and see what color the returning tracers have
