ATAG server question

[Bewolf]

Hey Bliss!

Thanks for that elaborate reply, wish Maddox Games looked at those kind of updates, hehe.
Looking forward to whatever happens on the server in the future, thanks for all the efforts in any case =)

MASSIVE kudos to you and the ATAG crew. Wow.

Ok, maybe something a bit more casual.

What about, for now, simply a set time each week that people try to make? Yes, people are on here and there throughout the week, but if we tried something like Monday Night Flight Night (6PM PST -- the Europeans can mirror this with another time that suits them) every week on the ATAG server just simply to boost numbers -- something a little more coordinated that people can attend, we might just have one night with decent numbers. I'm sure there will be server resets and all kinds of weirdness so we won't keep track of mission successes and failures, it's mainly just a free flight with boosted numbers because there's a so-called "meeting time". Almost like a virtual pilot's social club. Maybe do a mailing list or something, or just create a forum channel for it. Then, when the game catches up, we can expand it a little to include organized scenarios, teams, virtual fronts, all that stuff (most likely in the year 2031, I'm sure).

Or maybe Sundays at 11 AM PST (which I think is 7PM GMT) to include the Europeans as well. It kind of shoots my day a bit, but if people are into it and we get good numbers I don't mind -- I'd probably be playing video games any way.

You tell me though, if it's going to be a headache it's not worth it.

Not worth it until the patch. With the crashes, you can't fly formation, or most people won't even make it to the target before their game crashes.

Last week, we took off with three 110's with bombs. We formed up, put the belly on the water and ran as fast as we could straight across the chanel to the G10 targets. Direct route, fast planes and only one guy got to the target to drop his bombs.
With the slow bombers is worst. You get some 109 to escort you and when the spits show up, the poor guy that tried to help you will crash to the desktop.
I'd say. Let's just enjoy what we have for now and hope they fix it.

Maybe it is worth testing if many players have this issue. To reproduce the "Server failed authentication" error one can click Cancel while in server loading screen.

Doesn't always work I'm afraid Ataros. I've seen differing results. (of the solution not the cause!)

Restart the game and clear your cache between sorties. It helps a lot. Also, don't fly close to, and look at, human flown, multi engine planes for too long. That's the only way to make it trough the mission without the crash.

restart the game is like a crash, so I wont do that lol

The difference is you can make restart between flights but crash happens in a middle of a flight.

Please try this solution btw http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showpos...&postcount=124

LOL. Sorry, I should have remembered your forum nickname better And thanks again for your help!
I wonder why no one reports results. I can not spend much time online myself nowadays to give it a long enough test.

Well said Jaws! Its wierd, sometimes I can fly with others to target in the Ju88 no problem and others I CTD as soon as I get in but mostly if I and another bomber want to go to the objective together we go staggered where we are just dots then try to get more coordinated when at the target and that seems to work.
