Author	Topic: I need to VENT!!!!
Jeeves Pilot	posted 06-11- 10:07 PM Well-- maybe this should go into Flame Wars, but I doubt too many people will disagree with me... After almost 2 total hours today-- I had about 15 CTD's or game freezes, and a few mismatches despite having the Contest Pack 1.1 and the PP 5.3B in... Needless to say I am a bit freakin' frustrated!!!!! This does not bode well the SDOE War if we can't even get into the G'damn lobbies! I just started up a new online account with Earthlink and was eager to give it a go online...but never did get to try it and had to revert to Juno and it's crappy banners. Now I have heard others say Earthlink worked fine for them...was today just a bad day online for everyone...or am I the only poor sap who's troubled? No wonder I haven't been online more than a few times in the past few months... If the Beta fixes this, why can't I ever find anyone using it? ------------------ [IMG]http://MikeReeves.tripod.com/sbd.jpg[/IMG] Brought to you by the campaign for a better Dauntless! IP: Logged
spin Pilot	posted 06-12- 01:09 PM Jeeves, I know your frustration with desktops and it seemed Blitz was suffering a bit last night too. In general I haven't been having too many problems lately. Actually if anything I'd say they've been less frequent. Check your multiplayer mission directory. If there are more than a hundred missions in it dump a bunch of them or remove them all to some convenient backup directory. If you have my multiplayer mission pack (originally data7.par) then get rid of that too - it works fine but most of the missions have been updated or aren't being used much now. In other words try entering missions with no missions outside of the shipped ones and you may see fewer desktops. As far as the beta, I've tried a few times to encourage it but I think we keep waiting in hope for a version without debugging code that works reliably. Build 65 was pretty good but still had a few problems - I still liked it offline though. It seems the more recent builds have solved some problems but introduced a few new ones. Hopefully MH will be able to get to a relatively releasable product soon. His recent work here is promising - at least we've seen some progress. IP: Logged
Jeeves Pilot	posted 06-12- 04:17 PM Part II Well-- I left the house (late!) to day at 7:15 and taught the last day of classes today- for the next 10 days there are finals and state tests, along with having to pack up a science office, four classroom/laboratories and all the fixin's. On top of all this. it is 5:05 pm and while I would normally be leaaving for home now (a half hour away)-- I have an awards banquet (again!) that will last from 6:30 to 9 or 10...so I decided not to drive all the way home to have to come back again later... so that puts me at a 14 to 15 hour day. I post not for pity, but just to complain as I can't do that to anyone here My hopes to you all is your day is going better than mine... IP: Logged
