I have a very decent machine that I can use. Core2Quad at 3.6GHz with 8GB RAM and SSD. Also, I have a 12Mbps uplink which ought to be sufficient I think. Internal networking is wired and all on 1Gbps LAN network. How do I set it up or FTAG mod? I did a dedicated server experiment by setting it up through the mod selection in game but I don't have the maps so just used the stock maps. It wasn't working the way our mod on the host works though. Also, I think I discovered one cause of the lag. I was with @@Pressa on the server and Bones joined in from Australia with a 400ms ping. When he joined I got a red block and a yellow block and a CI. Once his ping stabilized to 300ms my connection was all better again to the server. So needless to say, I think players with high pings might be one big cause of this issue. Perhaps, we can put a maximum ping limit? When people with slow internet speeds try to connect to our server upon initial map load, their connections can't handle all that load and their ping spikes which lags everyone. At least, that's my working theory.

Fewer CIs but not as frequent definitely better than the last server. There is some lag for me, I have to hit players twice for the most part to get hit registration. Players with very low ping, like < 50ms have the upper hand. My CIs on this last same amount of time as the last server ~10 secs but they are infrequent so it bothers me less. However, there is an issue of synchronization, I get yellow blocks in chunks. Overall, its better indeed and there will always be issues for some and not for others. I say if 70% of those who report, have reported no issue, we ought to keep it. @@Ruggerxi, who is our host this time? I mean what's the name of the hosting company. @@Sammy, I am just thinking out loud here, but can we host this mod on a private server, say my PC? I can host it on my network internet connection, open up the ports and play with people in regional proximity to me. I suppose I am wondering if the server starts to struggle when a lot of traffic is being sent to people connecting from farther corners of the globe (i.e. packet loss and what not).

but I love that map, all that running around, up and down. So many places to hide, the jail cells, the basements, the open air grass areas, the communication tower. I mean, who doesn't like playing hide and seek for 3 hours?

Minimap works in free spec mode, not when spectating a player. Also, the Killstreak box shows the wrong KS when you're spectating.

This is a @@GoOney>XI< hate thread, post any and everything you've ever wanted to say to him. Y U NO DIE @@GoOney? When I shoot at you just fucking die! That's all you have to do, die . I feel better now.

If you need a place to crash for a few months, @@hxtr has a room empty.

It's the motherboard that effectively gives you dual/tripple/quad channel access to memory effectively increasing ur memory bandwidth. You can have DDR2 in quad channel too if the motherboard supported it along with the processor. If it crashes in any game I suspect your GFX card or ur RAM instability. Make sure the correct voltage for the RAM is set in the BIOS. multi-channel configuration stresses your Memory Controller a lot.

That sounds like a memory error. BF series hogs memory VRAM and also system RAM. Generally gfx card crash gives u a BSOD. Sounds like a tedious debug.

By the way Benrith, do you get the same crash consistently now? Or is it still random messages?

I have these, they are amazing, I can keep them on for minutes. Also, they are so affordable, its cheaper than dirt. Dirt might be better bang for your buck. http://www.amazon.com/Apple-MD827LL-A-EarPods-Remote/dp/B0097BEG1C/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1412418654&sr=1-1&keywords=apple+earbuds DISCLAIMER: You may need to buy a Mac for the mic to work properly.

I have bad lag on this server makes the difference in shooting once and having to do it three times. My lagometer shows those nice red spikes all too often. Then there are the free CIs that find you mostly at in-opportune times. I know I am the minority here but that temp server in PA or wherever it was, was the best for me.

It was between a friend and I, we found it mutually funny. Well, thanks for clarifying on your standpoint.

That would be awesome. Lets do it.

I do what I can for social entertainment, Haha.

I think you misunderstood, what I rarely do doesnt last more than a minute as the suspense dies out pretty quickly. No I did not use a clan member name. Cute|Boobies was in the opposite team and that too was momentary. logically speaking what if there are two different players with the same nickname. I dont mean clan members i mean guest players on our servers. What rules apply then?

Underclock ur GFX card so it draws less power.

I will give it a try...

Windows creates a dump file by default. I wouldn't bother with using WinDBG to figure out which hardware it falsely points to this time. Once you've your new gear in, try that and let's see how things work out from there.

Hey guys Bing is also reading this thread, so if you see a player named Cortana don't be surprised. She just wants to prove she is smarter than Siri.

Bosun, don't take this the wrong way but have you considered the possibility that you just might suck that much? LOL j/k....

Some times when I sneak behind an enemy spawn and kill a few people I quickly change my name to "Everyone" or "Everybody". It's hilarious to hear people say "boom boom is here", "no its everyone", "guys everyone is in our spawn". This amuses me, aaah the little pleasures of life. Other times I change my name to another non-XI player's nickname so it confuses the heck out of the other team. I changed it to Cute|boobies once and I went radio silent. It was just funny to hear all confused people. Screwing with people's minds so much fun .

I tried, figuring out the settings was not intuitive, I have the attention span of a 3 year old. I moved on to AMD Gaming Evolved - Raptr which takes no hit on my FPS. The only caveat being that it works half the way. The quality is much better too.

If only XFire wouldn't crash on map loads, I would record my games. It just doesn't work right. I tried the AMD gaming Evolved but that crap isn't baked yet.

You're right moonpie, that's very true about the people turning off smoke and trees but its hard to prove. Without proof it is all but an educated speculation. If anyone has any ideas how to figure this out let me know, I will give it a try. I don't mind getting kicked by PunkBuster for a good cause as long as it's not a permban. I agree CIs are horrible this time, and they come at the most in opportune time. On another note, not that I am bragging or anything... haha 33 kill streak on the first screen shot. You may call me a noob if it makes you feel better, but I don't spectate to 'learn' tricks its for pure entertainment. For me its like watching TV before going to bed. @[member=moonpie] I brought my KDR from .3 to 1.57 and usually skill rating is within the top 5 not that I care too much for that but just to say I know how to play well.
