Titantic Tuesday bugs?

[RELIC]

Before I start, let me say I am a fan of Titantic Tuesday and this is not intended as a complaint of it.  I'm just seeing a few odd things on this one night and was wondering if it was happening to other players.

Radar seems "off".  I have squad mates set to blue on dot dar and I will be flying beside one and his dot will show several sectors away - and I know it's his dot when he uses vox.  Plus there seems to be a lot of phantom dar bars.  Last Tuesday there were full enemy dar bars in two side by side sectors, yet only a few enemy to be found - and I'm pretty sure there wasn't a huge group of incoming enemy since the dar bar remained there for quite some time (do ground vehicles show on dar in TT perhaps?).

There also seems to be a bit more warping and rubber bullets.

I thought I read somewhere that hosting that many players in one arena would not cause issues with the game.  So I'm wondering if anyone else has noticed these issues.

On an unrelated topic I see the "new" pizza map was back for a bit this week!  Thanks HT!  Now if we could only get the AK's to dig up those files for the old pizza...

Invloved in mission at the west end of the map.....

Noe to (insert base # here...I think 53)..enemy dar was showing 2 sectors back, sporadically, as well as showing a red dot in an area that wasn't covered by a friendly radar ring. E

Mission vox was filled with "WTF?" in regards to said phenomenon..

So, A lot of credible witnesses saw UFO's

Ahh yes the "Foo Fighters".  I forgot about those lil buggers.

I was flying rook I believe.  However, when I looked at the bish/nit front, I was surprised to see 20 green dots per sector, when only red darbars were there!

So, somehow, dot dar was showing NMEs as green friendlies, but kept red darbar...

I was told the knights reset the map.  I agree, it must be a bug.

The AK that made that map is retired from the game and doesn't really talk to us anymore.  I think he moved on but I will check to see if we have a copy of it somewhere.

BTW, I did post the same stuff u have about Titanic tuesday but in the Bugs forum.

Yeah I've been hearing about this same bug issue from a couple people so obviously it's a real bug, I'm sure it has to do with the server being overwhelmed by hosting that many players.

AKDogg,

Thanks so much for checking on that.  I know a lot of us would love to see that map brought back.

On the other topic, I should have checked in the bug forum first - my fault.

Tues. nite I was climbing up to a high (unusual) set of Lancs.

I noticed a dot high above him that I assumed to be an escort.

As I got closer the high dot disapeared and then reappeared right next to the Lancs.

Then all of a sudden there were multiple dots flying off of the Lancs.

It was almost like they were shedding parts that would then fly around the planes like a swarm of gnats.

Thought I was havin a flashback or something!!

Wasn,t anything around but myself and the Lancs.




Or was there?

The more people you get into one area, the more problems you will have.
That was one of the main push's for splitting the arenas up i bet.


With people useing diffrent connection speeds "even dial up" it makes funky things happen.

**they cant be stoped, they cant be recoded they cant be fixed.**


All you can do is cut up the connection size, and "lessen" the over all effect of dots, ufos warping disco's .ect


Maby we all just didnt notice it when everyone* was laging in the dialup/first cable days.
