I have a ti4200 too and use 1600x1200x32 too and it works fine.

I thought you looked for the best, not the latest. The latest drivers are optimized for gf6, older ones work better with gf4 cards.

I got a little complaint, i think if big features of islands change, like mountains disappering and stuff like that, the island should get a different classname, so it does not conflict with the old. Old missions can still be ported over, but just now i could not install it on our server as i would have to test all missions on skye to see if they still work with the changed terrain Besides that it's great work, skye is on of our favorite islands. And i would not mind a version with those addons, as we have them on the server for such a long time now anyway.

Medicus made one, based on the cr cti, you can get it in the fdf mission repository (see gnats post) or from our site. Also, mellis ported Medicus fdf cti to another fdf island. So there should be at least 2 different fdf ctis out there. There are also some older fdf ctis in the repository, but i don't know which version of cti they are and if they run with the new version of finmod.

From what i have read the most "troublesome" feature is that parts of the system are recompiled with security settings enabled that should prevent buffer overflows, similar to what this "dep" on amd64 is doing in hardware, and this is supposed to break some application with "bad coding". So far i have not yet encountered any of those applications and not even read about one that has been found by othered.

So far i did not encounter any problem (or noticeable change) in any application. OFP, OFP Watch and TS work fine with sp2.

That would be my question too. Not only OFP, but also TS, OFP Watch, UnPBO, etc. I just made a backup of my system partition and will install sp2 now.

We actually like cr cti better than mfcti. And it's available for many islands too, and also for fdf and usmc and wgl (iirc, could be mfcti for wgl). Check out the cr cti hp.

Not really, warnings about modified bizon, mm-1 or vulcan are quiet often and seem to come from other language variants or not correctly patched versions of the game.

Red Hammer is really only 2 files: the campaign and the voicerh.pbo. You don't need this for anything to work afaik.

I can only say that all friends that bought the game with have quit it in the early versions due to bugs. I am the only one of our early group still playing it. So there could be something to this...

A) this is typical of your "the Sky is falling" attitude, you never did understand real world numbers And this is typical for your arrogant, assuming and insulting "discussion" style. All your nitpicking is beside the point. Even if the limit is at 400kb/player and only 60% of the players use them, then this results in 4.8mb download for EACH PLAYER. It's not about servers not handling this, the point is that most PLAYERS do not want to download this shit. Many complain when missions are larger than 1mb. See the posting of Sanctuary. And all this for something that is not only useless but (even worse) only used to annoy most of the times. Well, you can multiply, and you can nitpick on numbers, but you can't get the point it seems. I will clear this up for you: This is a serversetting, set by the admin in accordance to his server policy. Don't go whining that it will onyl generate 40gb/month (i have run servers that had only 50gb traffic/month included, the rest had to be paid for). It is nice that your huge clans pays the server for you, but that does not make you judge and jury of every server and admin out there. Comply to the server rules or play somewhere else. Yes, to annoy or insult people, things you seem to like very much.

Zombies driving in wrecked zombie hmmwvs?

Or you buy the goty edition, which is cwc+red hammer+resistance. Depending on how cheap/available resistance is where you live this may be the better option.

There is no way to detect dxdll, so nobody can get kicked because of it. ECP had some mp troubles in the 1.5x versions, but those seem to be solved for a long time. I often play with ecp too and never had (or caused) any problems with it. But we will not allow ecp in cti, as you can use the "join soldier to group" feature of ecp to destroy the cti game. To detect ecp just look for the the "RES;@ecp" line the player generates. If you want to use ecp from a different folder you have to unpbo some addons and rewrite the pathes (i did this so our ofp watch installed ecp did not conflict with other installed versions of ecp), so most players (have to) use the default ecp path. Sound are sent to each player, so if 20 players connect and each of them has 2mb of sounds then every player has to download 19*2=38mb of sounds. And they have no real use in the game anyway, except to annoy everybody. BTW: this is a serversetting, it is not that the admin kicks you, the admin only sets the limit and the server kicks you automatically if you are beyond the limit. If you like it or not, this is part of the server policy, comply or play somewhere else.

Afaik there is no cheat atm that gets past a good checkfile setting, ie one where you check for files inside the pbos like eg merged\00000.paa.

Yeah, so? I don't think this was a really a surprise to anyone who followed the official statements instead of the stuff that some members of the community made up. So why worry when it can't be changed? Too many games get pushed onto the market too early, full of bugs. OFP had it's share of bugs too. You could even say that it was only really playable in MP after resistance came out. IMHO it is better to wait a little longer for a good game than to get a bad product earlier on.

Using the wrong config.bin or a broken addon?

I don't get it, how or why would this change anything?

I am using the same resolutions in ofp and in windows (1600x1200x32), i use refresh rates higher than 80 (75 in win and 85 in ofp) and can alt+tab in and out without problems, as often as i like. If this bug was introduced with anything then it was with dx9, as this bug appeared for me and at least one other guy from my clan when upgrading dx from 8 to 9 and disappeared when downgrading to 8 again. We switched between 8 and 9 a few times and it was reproducable. After i changed win refresh from 85 to 75 the bug was gone again. Although bug in my case meant i just could not alt+tab out of ofp, i never got ctds.

You should check out ALSR-Forum for anticheat measures if you are a server admin.

I tried your logo in my squad.xml and it doesn't work. So you are right seeking the fault there. I compared it to other working jpgs, and those jpgs had higher dpi values, one 96 and the other 200. Besides that they looked the same. Maybe worth a try.

I would have been happier if i had heard it from BIS first.

Even renaming should be enough, eg to d3d8.dl_ or something.

I just pointed out one example. There are hard and easy missions. Just counting kills and death is pointless. I could make a map which spawns enemies without weapons and shoot hundreds of enemies down in a few minutes. Would give me a hell of a score. In most ofp missions kills say next to nothing about how good you are. If i grab the only at weapon in a coop, then wait til the tank slaughters most of my team before shooting it they will have died and i will get big points for killing a tank&crew. But those kills say nothing about how good i performed in the game.
