Not much more to say about it that the title doesn't say already. The warping is so bad lately, that if there are six or seven units, A/C or G/V at a base or even over the water, you can empty your guns on nothing even when it shows less than 300 ft.

Not just my computer either. All in the squad last night and the night before experienced the same thing, at the same time.
Whiiiiiiiiiine.

I logged last night for that reason. I'm wondering if that is what screwed up my perk points last night. I shot down 2 chogs in a 109G2 and landed. I got 1.74 points. Shouldn't it have been more like 6-8?

Well, If your intent was to whine, that was accomplished.

If you want some help to try and FIX the problem, I suggest you grab www.pingplotter.com and trace beta.hitechcreations.com and alt.hitechcreations.com. Post the results in the Internet Connectivity forum and I will try to help you identify the problem and work around it.

I had that nasty "rubber bullets" problem as well. Looks like it happens when you fight in the big furballs near CV groups, even when I have a good connx. So, is it a problem of FPS or ping time ... or both?

<S>!

Same problem here.

Woof Hawg!

When I started flying AH (tour 4) I was amazed by the seeming lack of warping. Fresh out of Air Warper 3, and CFS on the zone, I thought I had found heaven.

Nothing has changed on my end. Still using a P-II, 128mhz with a Couger 32 bit Vid card. Internet hookup via DSL.

I'm way far from being any kind of an expert on this stuff, (actually I'm pretty much computer illiterate) but the warping problem seemed to begin shortly after the rumors regarding the reduced rate subscribers.

Before this, a prime time MA might contain some 120 people. Now prime time usually averages over 200. This is when I experience the majority of the warping.

Many times I fly very early in the morning, (2 am PT) with perhaps 30 people in the MA. During these sessions, warping is not evident.

As I said, I'm ignorant in these matters, but it seems that the volumes of subscribers logged on seems to be stretching the capabilities of the servers.

Just my two cents worth.

I've not seen much warping at all these days but when I have seen a bogy warp about so do the folks who were near by me.

You might want to try improving your connection Hawg via the many tweaks and fixes out there.

Where can one find tweaks and fixes for their connection? I have pingplotter, but what do I do if the connections look bad?

Aye, out here on the left coast I've been having a terrible time with my connect. The past 3 days have been very frustrating and has forced me to do more GV work. I'm gonna try some tweeks but if your connect is bad outside of your box there's little that can be done with it except for the ISP jig

About 2 weeks ago I had the best connection i've ever had with this game. It lasted one day.....what I wouldnt give to have that day back. Anyway, I too have a problem with warps and rubber bullets. Ping Plotter shows a good connection.
