Great game of BFBC with wolf tonight. Good coms made up for our shit marksmanship 🙂
Wheres the rest of yas?
My ISP have told me they’re upgrading our exchange this week to sort out the network issues they identified in June! This is good because the night before last, I literally could not play because of ping issues, but unfortunately I seem to be dropping my net connection a few times an hour while they’re working on it. Hopefully won’t need to be patient with this for much longer, but I’ll be about as much as I can in between drops.
Feel sorry for you Matt. Get your PC sorted then your net fucks with you!
Have to be about this weekend for some BF’ing.Sadly the net issues are nothing new, as it’s been affecting me since the summer, and actually caused me to reformat and reinstall windows etc a few times. It was only 2 weeks ago that Virgin’s amazing tech support owned up to us having high utilisation in our area, and advised it was being fixed around the 14th-21st December after I threatened to leave. They’ve got until then or I will.
It may be because everyone’s being knocked off the network, but the pings I’m getting to servers between drops are excellent again.
Or it could be as you reside in Edinburgh that your neighbours have received their doll cheques and are out getting licked.
aye, it was a great few games, even though it wasn’t a hardcore server (my mistake, I forgot abouot hardcore servers because I haven’t played since June!). I do need to do something about my computer though, fps is down to about 15 in firefights which doc reckons I use as an excuse, but it really is an impediment!
Just a heads up regarding my connection problems, so I’m not having to repeat myself all weekend. I’ve stayed connected to TS just to keep an eye on how bad they are, and the logs are showing disconnects on average every 20 minutes. Very occassionally I’ll have a stable connection for an hour and a half, but normally there are 3 or 4 disconnects an hour.
I’ll be about over the weekend for BC2, but if I disappear, this is why. I’ll keep rejoining games for as long as my patience can handle, but may drift towards something like civ5 for the times I’ve lost patience. Still give me a shout if you’re up for a game of anything, but it doesn’t look like things will be back to normal for me until early next week.
hi all 😳
ive been playing a bit more too.
where are you lot playing BC2?
(just ordered vietnam, hope to have some good games with you.. used to have a blast a few years ago.)Cha0s (Steve)
where are you lot playing BC2?
In the brief time I’ve been playing I’ve not really settled on any particular server mate, and I think it’s just a case for most of us of firing up TS and seeing where the game is. Do you use Steam at all, because you’ll be able to see when a lot of us are in a game, or do you use anything else like Xfire?
Also good to see you again 🙂
you too.. thanks.
I usually launch bc2 from steam yeah.
prifile name is =XDC=Cha0sEnginewill install ts and dig out a headset when i get a chance.
Cool, I actually just saw you in TS although your mic looks as if it was turned off. If you pop back in, I’m actually in work atm, and not able to reply except maybe via text. Spookily my Logmein Pro trial actually allows me to hear what you say though, assuming I’m still connected. If you need to test your mic I can reply by text in TS. I’ll get home about 7.
Don’t want to jinx myself, but it’s quite possible I’m back in action now as I’ve not had a disconnect since mid afternoon 🙂 Pings looking good too.
installed ts.. havent got a mic yet tho.
i think i have a bluetooth headset at work somewhere that might do the job. not back there til jan tho 😀will try to get on and play vietnam tonight. prob after 10 i think.
Not going to have Veitnam until Monday, but if you jump on TS don’t worry about the mic thing. As long as you can hear we can have a squad of sorts 🙂 Better than nothing.
