SWAT_CDN

Placebo, before I start I hope this is in line with the topic, if not I apologize in advance. I have been following the comments made for sometime now regarding the game as far as the languages that it would be released in and the release of the game in Canada or the United States. Here is my take on it: Other than submitting the game for an "Entertainment Software Rating" which may be law and may not in the Country, Province or State which the game is sold the languages will not be a problem. As long as the game has an option of which language do you wish to install and we are all set. Because, in Canada and the United States, you name the language, I am pretty sure it is used. So just give as the Choose Language Option on install and the way we go, we could order it form anywhere, I guess.

Playing "OnLine or stand alone"? CRCTI can be really demanding especially if there is a lot of vehicles happening, especially when Vulcans or Shukas are firing. Also, might be an idea to check and see what is running in the back ground.

Sorry Dr_Chris, I should have mentioned that you can email me or hit us up at our forums. I am positive you will get the help needed.

Hey buddy We been having same problem with same group of missions crashing server after playing for awhile, anywhere from 5 mins of play to 1/2 hour. Total crash. We thought it might be a conflict with some other addons so we have removed missions? Hopefully we are wrong and an answer solution comes forward and we can put them back in!!! Sort of off topic: Would it not be cool and helpfull if there was an area just for server hosting issues and resolves? (Placebo?)

@stegman As we think that OFP is a special type of Game for Special type of Players, (no comparison to some of the others I.e. BF, RVS....), the Server Admin would be able to make the best decision regarding a mission being able to handle JIP, also most present dedicated servers run with people who sort of know each other anyhow. (From our experince with OFP) Therefore there would or could be a full option of "No JIP", "Partial (password protected) option" or "Full open, whom ever JIP" Also, I would think that a standard would be automatically set as to how missions would be written and Mission Hosts (servers) would not have to worry about: Is this or that mission JIP compatible). I think we already have enough issues with Mission and Addon conflicts. If or should I say when JIP is made available, having it as a core part of the Game would eliminate any potential future problems. In closing I think the Mission developers have enough to work on, never mind trying to figure out: Can this guy be replaced in game or not? Humm, after writing the above I admit that with Objective based type missions JIP there might be an issue. I was thinking more on the lines of Vs or Coop type Missions such as CTI. Oh well I guess we will find out shortly.

Ok, I am not sure how many people that replied here actually run a dedicated server for OFP, our Gaming Group does, here is our opinion. We feel that JIP will definatley attract more people to the game as waiting in the lobby has been one of the biggest dissapointments of the game for many players. We in our Gaming Group believe that the Server Admin should make the decision if JIP is available to players. The Server Admin usually confers with the players of an existing game for a #reassign anyhow and should make the final decision if the mission being played could handle a person joining part wat through the mission.

People, Just think of the major over night or even better over weekend battles of playing CTI or even Objective based multi player type missions. Of course that is if they are still implimenting " Join while game in Progress).

Anybody else having issues with OFP Watch Today? Site is down? Ignore: Close Please, Thank You

Chipper Sound like you wanted new card anyhow Seriously, Chipper, I had some simular problems and actually still do on boot up. 2 seperate issues. 1 - power supply was not big enough to handle load ( I ahd to go from standard 350 w to a 500 w (I think it was) 2- I have a MSI mother board, Via chip set, Athalon CPU. Problem when booting is video card is not recognized until full boot up. (I'm still waiting for an answer for this one from the techies) Good luck

Fixed, This can be closed thank you. Our frustration with this issue ended up getting cleared up by slowly and painfully removing addons and trying server. Low and behold our guess was correct, "some addons cause the problem"

Help please. We are running a dedicated server and when we try to run a Zeus CTI type mission it shuts down the server. we get a message: Preprocessor failed on file mpmissions\_cur_mp.noe\description.ext - error 1. Note: the noe will change depending on island. Where do we start looking for error? PS: when we run from a personal computer(start a server) (all file layout exactly the same) it runns no problem!

I hope that BIS has second thoughts about implimenting the "Pick up weapon" Text that is shown in the clip. The screen will get busy enough as it is I would imagine. I vote for the original Drop down menu in the bottom right hand corner.

Anybody try this playing Multiplayer? Any issues, like Lagging out server or Lagging out missions? (such as CTI Type missions response would be great) Sounds like this would be great for CTI type games! I know my fingers do a lot of walking as Com in those types of games. Also how to you get around a full group feeding you info when the mission gets into full action? example: All the troups start to report enemy activity such as Tank at 12:00 o'clock.... I know my headphones get real busy sometimes, (can't hear yourself think, LOL)

Thomas Ryan First I would try to find out how your internet connection is getting out to the world? Satellite, Fibre, Wire.... I Think you get the idea. (your Dad will probably have answer) Assuming your ISP (Internet Service Provider) is providing a good connection out to the world, your connection may suffer or not. By the way what type of connection? Cable, DSL? It helps to know this also. I would think that any servers originating in Europe or Australia would give you good or atleast better Pings. It also sounds like you mght be sharing internet connection with the rest of the household? Through a router or Hub? If so try connecting direct. (Tell everybody you have some important OFP Gaming to do) and connectyour comp direct to modem if this is the case. Might help!!!! PS: I'm From Toronto and our server is in Virginia, USA. We have people connecting from europe all the time, pings alittle high +/- 100- 120 MS we live with it and have fun.

Well I did not know where to post my thought's about the "Shiney" pics, this seems as good a place as any. Just my 2 cents. I was surfing through submitted photos (in these forums) and noticed that alot of the pics have shiney equipment in them also? I'm no specialist when it comes to this stuff, but... could it be the flash of the camera when the photo was taken? I mean is at all possiblr that the lighting at the moment affects the textures?

Ok, Fall is around the corner!!!! And I seem to recall somewhere a Fall release for "AA" I think it is time to get ready to Pre-order personal Christmas Gifts!!!! Please somebody (preferably "BIS"), break the guessing game, When??? Where? How? See Ya In the Crosshairs.

In my opinion this upgrade(Armed Assult) for "OFP" is going to be the best thing for our Community. I have been playing this game almost from day one and believe me spent numerous $'s on other games always falling back on OFP. Anyhow, One of the biggest changes that has been announced and will put us back on the map is the "Join Game in Progress"!!!! That alone is worth $'s and will definatley refresh interest in "OFP", especially for the ones who luv the game but hate the "Waiting for To Start" or for the poor souls that "Lost Connection" when into a 2 hour game. BIS bring it on! PS: Where can we pre-order?

Could somebody explain while in debuging how the information provided can be used for troubleshooting? Example: Connect to Remote Dedicated server, logged in as admin and run #monitor. screen scrolls something like; 32fps 128M cpu 560 up 220 down This info is it actual server info or a server/admin's computer? Thanks In advance
