Link, hop onto MSN will you me old china
servers should change difficulty to what's set in the lobby
It boots me straight into the game when i choose to play on one.
But tbh i just realised i can just vote to change it myself lol.
Man of Honour
Did you direct join it or use a lobby?
Soldato
What time to you reckon we'll start tonight Tefal? I should be home from about seven onwards so will be available then.
Also, thanks Link and Aekeron for getting the servers up and running.
Yeah same as others.
Not had a chance to play the game yet as I'm at work but just wanted to put out a big thank you to Link and anybody else involved in organising these servers.
If you've not played on them yet then you'll see how much better it is than playing random A holes on the public ones.
Also, anybody that uses them regularly please donate here or see the sticky in this part of the forum for more info.
Man of Honour
Thanks for the props
We've got a proper donation system going now. As you pointed out, details in the sticky at the top of the forum
Excellent, just wanting to make sure that I don't get home and cry at the remaiining 2 day wait.
Leave work in 15mins WOOOOOOT

Can someone give me a complete idiots guide to get connected to the ocuk servers please? Tried using sv_search_key ocuk, but cant seem to get connected.
[holds hands up] Yup, i'm a complete Nooby McNoobson at this.

Because they are full.

They're not - several aren't busy at all.
I'll look into why the search key isn't working for you. In the meantime, go to linktart.co.uk and just click on the server you want to join. It should open steam and connect.

As I under stand it, and this is relative to a chimp understanding the basic principles of flight, the sv_ thingy simply puts the OCUK servers as the preference, if there is one available it will connect to it, however if they are full, it won't.

ive found the force servers to be far more reliable:
you'll want this line copied, without the spaces in IPs,
mm_dedicated_force_servers 94.23.222.136:29021,94.23.222.136:29025,217.163.30.155:27015,217.163.10.204:27015,94.23.222.136:29029,94.23.222.136:29033
just stick it in console then whatever lobby you are in will connect to one of those servers

When everything is working properly, yeah. But at the moment there are four empty OcUK servers. It's possible that the search key isn't working properly - worth investigating at least (which is what I'm about to do).
For a while, the search key was a little dodgy but I do recommend that people use it as a first port of call. It's quite possible that IPs and ports of the servers will change and when they do you'll need to update your mm_forcededicated...etc details. If you're using the search key you'll not even notice the change in IP/port.
