If you didn't get it the first 237 explanations, is one more really going to do it for you?

yeah you have a point there. I just figured out why the discos though. Everytime I lower the flaps in my spit16, i get booted. Is that a sound pack problem? Seems like I heard Rangers sounds did that to a few people. It doesn't happen in any of the other planes.

Could be a bug they don't know about. Post a thread in the bugs forum or email em.
Cannot hurt.

If you think it could be a sound issue, remove the sound files, then try to recreate the event. If the game doesn't crash then, the sound may well be the issue. If you restore the sound, and the game crashes, it's more than likely the culprit.

Lemme guess, sound blaster?
If so, use the windows drivers. That fixed some Huge disco issues for me.
Don't forget to update DX drivers after you update other stuff. DX for some reason likes to be the last word on updates for some reason. Good advice from these guys though, hit the tech support forums, smart guys there, compared to just smart alec guys like me in here :D

I dunno, I kinda agree with Uptown here. I mean, get discoe'd and can't get back in?
Maybe there should be a 30 second or 1 minute grace period, where you could get back in.
IE: you log out or get discoed, the server keeps the spot for a minute for you just in case.
Seems fair to me.
I guess i shouldn't butt in here though, cancelled my sub due to burn-out (I'll be back though...still the best gig in town;) ), just need a break.
cheers,
RTR

I had that exact same problem awhile back with the spixteen flaps disco thing. I deleted the flap sound & subbed in a different one & problem solved.

uptown....someone mentioned the exact same thing in another thread.......delete the flap sound from the rangers soundpack......that should fix it according to the other thread......

I think its some kinda HTC revenge system.
If you get a bunch of kills being a ho,vulch,runtard,cherrypicker, the "revenge" code is implemented, and you get discoed.
To further the punishment, the server drops the player number, to make sure your anger last's for five mins more. :aok
:rofl JUST KIDDING. :rofl

yep i have a sound blaster card. that thing gives me fits even when i'm not in the game. Thanks for the input fellas <
>:aok

You know, for a muppet, you are pretty thentative!

If you get booted by putting out flaps in one plane every time, you have a corrupt file.

Uptown..we have arena "caps" and don't forget "eny" for the good of the game.....and for the love of God.......I still fail to understand...or experience any different gameplay pro or con because of it........I still say its a bad thing.
I seriously look forward to Titianic Tuesdays .....On Tuesday I'm not looking for "A" fight.....the challenge with so many great fights going on where do I go...... I love the intensity of Titanic Tuesday ..now lets just get rid of the eny.

The first, and subsequent 236 explanations arent explanations.
Now, dont get me wrong. I dislike arena caps for many of the reasons mentioned... but I dislike 700+ player arenas and the horde mentality even more.
However, the question "Why are arena caps 'necessary?'" has never been answered so far as I have ever read.
-
I thought HT or Pyro had explained why the caps were 'necessary'.
-
Uptown you can just delete the spit 16 flaps sound then test it out.
if that does it then you can replace it with mitsu's spit flaps sound or someone's sounds.

its been explained over and over again.
the old way had server 1 and 2 and a 560 cap (i think?).
everyone would join server 1 because they wanted to be in the biggest server, server 1 would reach 560 and be full so only server 2 would be open. server 2 would have 100 people within, all moaning they couldnt get into the "real" server.
so instead they designed a rolling cap to force people into the 2 servers evenly and it works just like its suppose to 400 in one, 300 in the other etc.
Sure i dont like it sometimes when it forces you out of squad night, or you get disco'ed and cant get in, or you have to join server 2 and in server 2 knits have 200% numbers or something.... but its the way it is.
hell who knows, the lobby might be down because a new server browser is getting made ready for the next release (and CT in the future)....

Well i went and tryed what ROC had suggested first, (diabled Sound Blaster sound card and enabled onboard sound). And sure enough, no problems now except for a squeak when i rise or lower them. :rofl It's strange that it would just happen in a Spit16, but it does.
Anyway, may alienware computer will be here this week and I can retire this ole Dell and start fresh in this stupid game.
