turn fps on so you can see if its graphics or ping, some people are playing this game with 400 ping and so on, jerky as hell.

renderer.drawfps 1

I used punish every time since its not explained at all but now I only punish if I want the guy kicked because its delibrate, usually if they done it to someone else a few secs before

I just been kicked and banned from a server

. Basically I decided to play a commander for once so I sent my first arty to a middle base since no allies were around it and a couple of enemies were trying to capture. I see 3 kills and get all excited then boom I get 4TK. At that point I was like wtf. Apparently a black hawk flew into the arty zone and got hit while in the air. To add the insult to the injury the *****ng err cretins punish me (I mean for crying out loud watch where you flying). I decided to stay, ranked up even more kills with arty, ranked up 16 kills. Then I sent another strike out. It was clear but then I see an ally car go right into the arty strike. I'm all, "be advised artillery strike coming". The rambo didn't stop and gets killed (among with 6 enemies, could've been a good strike). That's 5 TK and I get kicked and banned from the server. How nice.

I think that'll be a tempory ban unless admin were being stupid, you basically have to relog after 4 tks, surprised that wasnt an autokick right then.

Theres audio and visual warnings on artillery, unless they just spawned there then they deserved to die

neoboy · 28 Jul 2005 at 15:21

Not really bothered about the server since it was a random one, it's just sad really that I got banned by such freak luck. I mean ffs that chopper pilot could've just hovered for 10 or so seconds.

Did you use the "Scan" feature to make sure there were enemies there?

Aod · 28 Jul 2005 at 16:01

when i say lagg up, i mean that a message saying:
"There is a problem with your connection"

whereby, the game (for me) will pause, and when it goes away (the
message) i will have died, because my char will have carried on doing
whatever it was doing before, be it driving or banking in a jet.

henceforth, when i comeback, i will be dead, from being shot, or from driving
into a river or crashing into the ground...

i just means that i cannot play. :mad:

does anyone else get the "there is a problem with your connection" message?

oh, i have 2Mb broadband.

neoboy · 28 Jul 2005 at 16:06

Well why else would I sent arty there. It was the start of the round and it was a neutral base, it was right in the middle of the map. There was another neutral base between it and the closest friendly base so there were no vehicle/foot soldiers nearby it. I scanned and saw 3 enemy soldiers there. Sent arty and since there is a delay after about 10 seconds a friendly chopper flew right into it and got hit while mid air. Maybe the pilot just didn't know that it can hit you in the air but I'm still mightily ****** off.

Aod · 28 Jul 2005 at 16:30

quite rightly too mate.

Getting some rather annoying crashing back to desktops now

Running a Shuttle SN45G2, 1024mb Ram, GeForce 6600GT and a XP3000. Any ideas? I got the latest G'Card drivers.

neoboy · 28 Jul 2005 at 17:36

What your temps are like?

SgtTupac · 28 Jul 2005 at 18:28

No idea. Ill have to download a program to tell me

MastermindUK · 28 Jul 2005 at 20:01

For the ribbons like the Armoured service ribbon do you have to do the whole thing in a streak? Like spending 20 straight minutes in a Tank/APC and getting a 19+ killstreak?

Has anyone else got this award because I think I'm filling all the criteria but I'm still not getting the award.

Usher · 28 Jul 2005 at 20:49

In all the games I have played & got Tk'd I have not once selected punish, usually I get run into or catch arial bombardment but it would take a deliberate full frontal shooting to make me think about punish, at least the upcoming new patch appears to be looking in to what determines a TK

Locrian · 28 Jul 2005 at 21:05

Ive just started playing commander and its excellent fun. Havnt had one TK yet

. Its a great thing to play if you want an awesome kill death ratio. Camp it in a base and get upwards of 20 arty kills to zero deaths. I must say though its a bit silly how you can get your basic badges in any class because the arty kills count to them.

I have the amoured service ribbon , don't think it needs to be one straight 20min run , just 20min in armour in that round. When I got it , I went through 2 apcs and a tank.

I feel your pain.

I recently was commander, in Karkand, in the middle base with the highest building sniper point. Scanned it, tons of enemies were swarming it. In a counter attack before they could get the base i artied it.

You know what happened. about 5 friendlies suddenly turned around and ran for the centre! Its like the arty beacon on the map is like a beacon for noobs to run to...

Scam · 29 Jul 2005 at 00:26

i've never been affected by people punishing me for tk's really, until tonight. I was in an APC-thing, driving alongside another one. We were both moving slowly through our base, and some guy walks out from a building. I attempt to stop, and run him over at like 2mph. I get out, run round and try to revive him but miss, then he punishes me for the tk! With me trying to revive him! Idiot!

Just a quick one. What are the best drivers for the moment for the 6800 series when playing BF2? Im using 77.72. I have all the settings to max 4xAA but still that some of shadows are blocky. Any ideas or does everybody have this problem?

I'm using the 77.30 drivers with my 6800GT. I have everything cranked up to max with no problems.
