Roger Wilco anyone? There can’t be too many voice chat progs we havent used. I do think the release of patch 1.20 is muddying the waters trying to work out if Vent is causing lag. Too many variables.
I suggest we all give TS a go for the next couple of nights. Its clear vent is causing issues for some people.
Server profile created in anticipation (Assault lines mode).
I think we should have it on for at least a weekend to let everyone have a go.
Don’t know wheels 🙁
I’ve definitely been experiencing more lag recently on the server but I can’t say whether its Ventrilo, the 1.20 patch, Multigheyness or just a local adsl problem.
Signal – your problem should be fairly easy to pinpoint – run BF with Vent and check for lag. Then close Vent and join server again. If there is no lag then its probably a Vent problem.
It makes sense that if we are now using better codecs then more bandwidth is going to be used. How that will effect inidividuals if at all is a bit unknown.

I wouldn’t bother with it for the bikes to be honest. I’ve played around on them on ArmA a few times and I’ve never been able to go fast enough to be shit cool and invulnerable to crashes.

Stay safe m8. Never volunteer for anything! Try and keep us updated if you find an internet connection. 🙂 And as Pharty says – anything you need just let us know.
As i’ve said to others on vent im struggling to see what improvements there are over the original OFP besides improved textures and reskinned models (which you have to drop down to normal/low settings anyway to get a playable fps 🙄 ). The openness/realism still provides the ‘wow’ factor but all the old annoyances are still there. Nothing seems to have been done to improve the command interface which was clunky to say the least. Lots of it just seems to have been lifted wholesale from ofp (which came out 6 years ago ffs) – the same dodgy animations, the same bad soundstage (which makes it difficult to judge sources and distances). The AI isn’t really intelligent – its just overly accurate which makes the single player experience frustrating.
It seems this game has existed in a vacuum over the past 6 years – and as a result appears not to have evolved or taken advantage of the massive improvements in processing power/graphics/sound hardware. I understand the troubled history of this follow up to OFP but it seems such a shame that more couldnt be made of it.
And before anyway moans about me being a BF fanboy – OFP was THE only game i played for about 2 years. It was just awesome for its time which explains the high expectations i had for this. I just hope there’s a OFP 2 out there in development which will be a more worthy successor.
Having said all that i am keen to try out the MP with the rest of you. 😉
