We think we have figured out why the servers are crashing so much.....We had one of our members connect to our servers, tried this on 3 different servers.

Each time this member would go to spawn after joining the server, as soon as he hit "ok", the server would freeze up, and crash.

We repeated this 7 times on 3 of our ranked servers, and each time he crashed the server. Come to find out, 3 other of our players caused the same problem...AQnd the one thing they all had in common, was they downloaded the patch from the EA downloader.(full version).

After reinstalling their games and downloading the full patch from filefront. Also a big note....when they initially installed the first patch, they all received a corruption error, but the patch continued with installation without stopping.

So we believe te reason why servers are crashng is corrupt 1.3 client installations. Tested and proven.

Thanks

You have to learn the rules of the game and then you have to play better than anyone else.

It would be nice for EA to acknowledge that there is a problem and tell us that they are working on it.

Good thing I was unable to get the patch from the EA downloader due to a connection problem.

I play on 24/7 day maps Special Forces by FL gaming. They ran warlord pretty much all day to see if it would crash. It did not crash once. They just switched over maps to mass destruction to test it on a different map. That sevrer was crashing left and right yesterday.....but today, not once.

I think we should all just stop downloading 1.3 and just get all the servers back to 1.22

that way we don't have to worry about crashing the server when we spawn... my thoughts anyways

No, it'll take a few years for it to be fixed

OMG you should tattoo those two on your sac, just make sure you're really REALLY drunk before you do so you don't feel a thing!

Somoene should replicate the error and sniff the packets with Ethereal to find out which packet or combination of packets crashes the servers. That could be quite entertaining..for a blackhat. Just a thought.

I will dispel this possible fix as I did all this a while ago, it still crashes or has a connection problem with a 50/50 ratio over a ten game test, a fix is needed.
Not to mention the Ghost town map at the Russians artillery on the isle sprays up huge water explosions when firing & they will kill you if standing near.
The T-90 now seems to take many more shots than an M1A1, with vehicle drop they get tangled sometimes fall to the ground & explode.
Everything on the commander screen seems sped up.
I hate the inconvenience of noticing I'm not in a squad when I'm dead & then having to wait till I spawn again(hopefully without an enemy around) to even join one or make one.
Heres a really annoying bug, your on the server screen trying to pick a server, you pick one & the whole server screen flips around & plays musical chairs, your pick ends up on another server, you try & join that new server & the whole thing happens again.
I cant remember the other things I've encountered, just wish they'd get a good patch out & then leave my game alone.
