Btw, I agree with you about its boring to wait for the engine to heat up (especially if you are flying the Tiger Moth!) and wierd that the German planes don't need to do this but the Brit ones do!

Doh!!! Confusion due to my brief flirtation with RoF. RoF has 'warm engine' possibility not CoD.

Not my day

@All - I've been messing around with netspeed through the conf.ini and have had some interesting results.

Could everyone change their netspeed line in the conf.ini to 20000 and tell me if your online performance is improved. Netspeed was definitely choking the server, it could very well be limiting clients as well.



Please let me know if this helps you.

Doubled the value from default 100000 to 200000 and I never got those annoying 3 - 4 second pauses that I suspect happened whenever a player spawned or respawned. Still get the micro stutters close to the ground, but I get those flying offline as well.

I would be really gratefull if someone could someone check their Conf.ini file and see if I have a problem with my settings for [Net]. I can't log in using Clinet or HL and keep getting Serverfail message. Tried all the usual things but no luck (and my name wasn't showing as a ghost connected).

So am I really the only one getting CTD's from the atag server consistently? lol!

So it seemed to help you?

Are you still not able to connect?

Next time this happens just hop on TS/our forums and let one of us know, usually a server restart is the only thing that will fix it

I apprecite that Bliss and very kind of you but it would be unfair to the other players to lose their scores and have to start over. I need to find out why when I try to log in I frequently get no Flags and can never get in on the first attempt anyway. The 'no flags' load screen error is a sure sign that I will get FailServer on any subsequent attempt.

For me its a sure thing, every time I get on ATAG, its just a matter of time.

That's odd. 1/2 of ATAG is from Australia, and most tell me it's by far the smoothest server for them. I'd say there's more going on on the client side tbh. This looks like old IL2 (netcode) anyhow where ping didn't really matter. As long as you're under 400 and constant (ping wise) you were golden.

Thats what really gets me about it, as I doubt its hardware related (i72600k 4.4ghz/gtx580sc/8gigs ram, SSD, etc...) and my connection is always very good (around 70-80 for ping).

oh and Im with the Aussies on smoothness, it runs very, very smooth. Smoother actually than I think it does offline, but it crashes to desktop 100% of the time.

baffled...!
