There's a new message on the DA Patch server..


-----------------------
We're still tracking two server crashes. We've enabled some detailed logging measures to help isolate the problems when they occur again. If you have any information about what's causing these crashes, send mail to [email protected]
-----------------------

So there you have it.. If anyone knows what may be causing server crashes, e-mail that guy.

I remember hearing some lamer here say he could still crash that server with a speed cheat.. Anyone with info on this cheat should e-mail this guy and let him know about it.

Patch? Patch? Thug? Lame....

A Linux Dedicated server would be wonderful but because its a microsoft game i dont think that there will be one in the future...

@jake take your outwar links elsewhere, if you cant post anything worth while then dont post crap url's to kiddie counter sites

How much longer before the patch is ready? This is getting stupid. 4 years in development, so are they gonna take 2 or 3 years developing a damn patch? I want to play MP, but the servers are all so unstable. Fix it already, DA!!!

Well the current beta has you blowing up randomly, especially when you're loaded up with cargo that you worked hard to steal.

I really hope this patch stops all forms of cheating. Today I dueled a player named Deathshead. Everytime I attempted to shoot him, he zipped out of the way.. I thought this was strange, and asked him to stop the duel. He did, so I asked him if he had computer errors or maybe latency issues. He replied with no. So I scanned his ship, and found out he had Five Level 10 weapons equiped, these were Wildfire (x2), Chrom(cant remeber the rest), 2 nomad blasters. The rest was Firestalker missile launcher, Salm(cant remeber the rest) level 9 gun, and a level 9 turret along with a sunslayer torpedo launcher. He was also flying in an Eagle ship.

To my knowledge of the game, The eagle Very heavy fighter, is limited to 4 level 10 weapons. So im just hoping and preying that this patch fixes those issues..

*whinging over.*

The slightest sanity within someone without sanity, is that faded voice in the back of their mind saying "help me"

Any word on how the patch is developing? When can we look for it?

A while ago Argonus said something like:

---

I've been trying to get people to test my server...to see where it starts getting lag.....But no one has helped me.

Anyway....I am personally excited about the patch....It will be nice to be able to play the MP game, and not worry about cheaters.

I am using a amd 800Mhz with 324Mb dedicated system with w2kAS... but i noticed that 14 players is the top for this system. when 8 players are logged in it allready gets in the red!

I don't have much server crashes only prob i have is that the server sometimes disapears out of the MS List server. Maybe someone has a remedy for that?

Anyway I have the luck that i am a system/network administrator for a company which grants me priveledges to borrow fairly new systems so this weekend i will run FL Server on a p4 2.4Gig and see how that holds up!

hey how fast do you need your computer to be to have a decient server and how much upload should you have?

I just hoping they allow you to buy some of those bigger ships at the higher levels for lots of money. Otherwise there would be no point in trying to get to lvl X when all it means is you have more money then you could ever hope to spend and still be on par with some guy at lvl 30.

You guys seem to forget that it's not an addon but a server patch aiming to fix server issues like stability and cheats.... don't expect them to include 4 new ships, 5 new weapons, a whole new campaign with cinematics and a quake-like first person shooter mode on planets

DaVoid, if u get a VHF, like Titan, Sabre or Eagle. Equips it with a lvl 10 Shield, 4 Nomad Cannons and 2 TDC. Adds the Sunslayer Torpedo Adv. Countermeasures and th Scremer mines, u'r level will be at 36, without any money. so I dont think that anyone will tost your ass if they are lower then your level. (Might be someone that gets his ass kicked by a pro in a LF and he go Titan)
