Today I was flying over 25 in La7 when I spot a P38 and P51 at same altitude. Anyway, considering I'm in a superior plane I decide to engage starting with P38. So we go into loop fight, but everytime I get on his 6, my framerate drops to 2fps.

I decide to disingage and head for home telling the P38 following me of my problem. He ignores this and continues the chase along with P51.

I land n get new plane thinking that perhaps its a bug with my plane, go up and it happens again, P38 HO's me, I pull trigger and hold it down cause my screens jerking like crazy and kill the 38, dying myself soon after.

I mention to this guy <empty> he may have a problem with his plane and then get abused for the following 15 minutes. Anyway this guys eventually starts using the F word and I terminate conversation.

Whats up with this bug, supposed to be squad logo but happens with cvs and other objects too sometimes.

And whats up with this guys attitude?

That is what is wrong. Unless you can come up with a really good reason why his plane (wich is drawn on YOUR fe) is causing YOUR framerate to drop. HTC said they fixed the squad logo thing, and they told you what file to delete... on YOUR fe.

You do understand that you could have made it sound as if your low FPS were someone else's fault?

I've seen this too. Check your "Host Queue". When I see the "stutter", my host queue is spiking to the max. Relogging has fixed it (twice). I don't think it has anything to do with the other guy's plane. I asked other friendlies who were also on his tail, and they saw no problem.

Doesn't matter if you made it sound as if it was his fault, he should be quite polite anyway. When the communty grows like it has lately, it is impossible to keep the small percentage of anoying <insert very bad word> away. Noticed it lately too.

Then again, with that little percentage we do get it we get a huge number of very nice and polite people and this is what keeps AH good.

Btw, the squad logo thing should be fixed.

Its easy to sit back and criticize the maturity level in the MA when someone presents something like this.

The truth is, we really don't know what happened... with a few minor exceptions:

Someone had an FPS problem that they couldn't figure out, so they got on channel 1 and said it may be someone else's fault.

After that... we run into "he said... she said..." as to what response was polite, rude, drug on.. whatever.

It could very easily have been avoided in the first place. It isn't always everone else that's being rude.

You mean someone got tired of hearing yet another excuse in the MA? Unbelievable.

The problem is a wrongly sized nose art thingy methinks. Simply remove it and it should be fixed. If you dunno which noseart it is, just delete them all

I wasn't warping and conx was fine. Simply everytime his plane or his squaddies plane was less then 500D, my fps dropped to 2.

Now I told them this as they were chasing but they ignored it. I killed one HO. I was accused of ramming, and then these two dweebs got on my case for the next 15 mins.

Kinda hard to ram when you only getting 2fps.

If its a noseart problem then how does the cv cause this as well. I don't think cv's have noseart.

gee pye... you called the guy a cheater and he took offense and reamed ya... I think the solution for you is to find more passive people to berate.

You weren't warping,but he and his squaddies,all of whom are likely on different connects are?
And speaking only for myself,I rarely check my text buffer while I'm in a fight.

The other view point:

After the ramming/HO mutual destruction...]
Pyemia tells me the squad needs to change our nose art...(We shouldn't have any, Hitech had annouced everytime I logged on for a week or so that the ZULUSIX file needed to be deleted)...I replied, "You didn't like the flamming cannons?"...He then called both myself and my wingy cheaters and that we knew we were causing the problem. I mentioned the annoucement and that he should delete the ZULUSIX file. This was backed up by many in the MA at the time. Next time we cross paths, he again claims to have a frame rate problem with us in the area...this is about 40-minutes since the last time and well after we/everyone told him the fix. After breaking off to engage another bogey I find this sucker clamped to my six. The fight and where I broke off was near his base, so if he truly had a problem landing was an option. During this time he didn't have any trouble shooting me down, even with his "2-fps" rate.

After being called a cheater, which I have never done and will never do in any game. (If it was really my life or his, of course I'd cheat...maybe with money involved...but a game...what's the point?)...I did point out the fact that he was calling me a cheater because he was too stupid to read the pop-up message...I also called him a liar after breaking off due to his "problem" the second time...I notice he didn't tell me he was continuing the fight after he obviously changed his mind...but whatever it takes to get a kill I guess. I mentioned I would no longer honor any request to disengage...from anyone. Then I squelched him. Not sure when I started using the "F" word...
In the TOS of AW you could get ejected and banned for a cheat call as well as profanity.

Personnally I'd rather be cussed at than called a cheat.

AKDejaVu, sometimes well thought out lies are easier to believe then simple plain truth. One cannot embellish the truth.

I will not cross swords with you Empty, simply because I have no respect for people who fail truth. If any have reason to call me a liar, state those reasons or hold your tongue.

I find it interesting that Empty mentioned the flaming cannons and thats why I called him a cheat. When I questioned him about why he continued the chase, he stated "it could've been any P38 chasing an La7". This tells me he saw my original message but refused to break off. Taking advantage of someone experiencing technical problems with a game imo is Cheating.

As far as the popup message, never seen it. The only popup message I see appears everytime I log into the MA and concerns a scenario I participated in (V2 rocket bases with P47's vs 109's).
