ATAG Dedicated Server is up!

[ATAG_Bliss]

I'm currently working on a mission that has moving objectives etc., but they don't always work right. It seems anything attached to a spline road is bugged in a dediserver environment. For instance, trains, something I've tried putting in before, simply won't work with a dserver. They load fine through the FMB and a listen server, but just not yet!

I haven't really given too much thought about changing the current mission in that regards simply because noone has yet to get all the non-moving objectives for either side in the 7 hour window the mission runs. And if they're moving, it would make it that much harder atm. Granted, I think 1/2 of that has to do with the fact that by the time you finally get a bomber up and on the way to target, there's a possibility that you could have a CTD. That kinda ruins everything in the 1st place. Once that issue gets fixed, I'm hoping to see the bomber guys come out in waves!

Here's hoping for some fixes really soon

Hmm, maybe they got fixed after the last official patch. I haven't tried them since the #2 beta.

Thanks for the info

Confirmed - trains (albeit buggy in the FMB) actually now work both with and without a spawn script

Expect some new objectives soon

How can a player be in your sights then instantly warp onto your six, is this some sort of bug?

I heard players discussing this 'phenonema' on teamspeak but this is the first time I have actually witnessed it happening. The ac warped vertically and then re-appeared behind. There were no other ac around and nothing came of it but it was weird even so!

Been wondering that myself. I put it down to connections. I hope we don't have an IL-2 PrtScr 'feature' again!

By the way, a friend pointed out the obvious to me regarding Custom Skins. You can uncheck Custom Skins under Network settings. He said he didn't get stutters or freezes for the 1.5 hours he played. I'm trying it out on ATAG tonight (I had it checked until now).

I hve seen that myself. Firing on a Spit after what seems to be hours to try to catch him trolling ard french coast at med alt. But mine disappeared from my visor with a rapid ascent just to reappear in a fraction of a second in my 6 all guns blazing !

Manage to hit him tough just to see me CTD less than 10 sec latter.

I wrote that else where but we also hve SPit and Hurri with no neg G cutout and a speed (in dive and level) similar to a 109

Something similar happened to me on ATAG the other day. I was coming in on Mr X and we went into a scissors and somehow he shot me up in the scissors when from my point of view it was impossible for him to put his nose on me as we were parallel. It was like he had a thrust vectoring engine.

I didn't see his aircraft change plane but I suddenly received damage messages. It's not the first time I've had this. Quite a few times when I am attacked I get hit whilst evading, thinking that the opponent never had the angle for a shot. It doesn't happen when I'm attacking but for now I'm attributing it to lag. And yes I'm certain no other planes were in the vicinity.

It's bad enough fighting good pilots, but with lag issues like that I don't stand a chance because my evasive actions are wrong because the opponent is actually somewhere else. e.g. I don't think I would have been shot in the scissors and probably would have had a good go but .... oh well....

Yeah my ping is crap but ATAG is the best full real server that my ping is acceptable on (240 ms). However as I said I've never noticed lag when attacking only when defending.

Hi guys,

after days of trying to run CoD in multiplayer I finally found a server to connect to and run Cod rather successfully (SoV). But as the map is "ugly" and as it is only duel-orientated, I would by far prefer to play on the ATAG setting.

I have not read anyone experiencing my problems on ATAG (and also Repka) servers but maybe someone can help me: In most times I even cannot jump into cockpit, as I already have a CTD at side or plane selection. If I succeed in getting into the plane, the fun lasts just for a very short period until experiencing a CTD again.

My system specifications are:
AMD Phenom II X6 1095T
AMD Radeon HD 6970 2GB
Most current Catalyst 11.10
4 GB Ram
Windows Vista 32 bit

I already tried deactivating my firewall (including the Windows firewall), anti-virus software, MSI Afterburner, etc. but without any change. CTDs en masse...

Someone an idea why this bad condition happens on ATAG and Repka but not on SoV? And much more important: An idea how to improve things?
