had a wierd disco in The Titanic Tuesday arena... Arena is now closed...anybody else? and does anybody know what happened?
-
I'm still in and had no problems. But I'm reading quite a lot of complaints about the server right now on CH200.
-
weird things are happening in titanic tuesday, I typed I need supplies at v85. The message didnt appear in space bar,figured I accidentally put a . at the beggining. Tried it 3 more times and it still wasn't showing. Then all of a sudden all 4 messages appeard at same time. Was noticing others do the same sorta thing,people complainig about damsge just appearing from 3min ago and stuff like that.
-
I was PMing someone, and ended up getting the replies about 20 minutes later.
-
For about 3 mins i couldn't be killed or kill anything...it was strange...i recorded it for HT to see. Then all of the sudden i was in the tower with no kill message, 5 mins later i hear the sounds of 20s hitting me and got a death message. this was after i was sitting in tower scratching my head for 5 mins
-
I ended up getting discoed for about 3 minutes there, but other people were unaffected. Then I could get back in again... /shrug. Something clogged the series of tubes for a bit.
-
I landed and when I /.ef, I was dropped in the ocean several hundred miles away and could not quit the sortie. When I ctrl/alt/del to end the game, I found that the arena was closed for about 20 minutes. After that, everything was as usual.
-
They'll figure it out but I'm thinking it's a problem that started in the beginning of the month in Orange at the time of TT.
I checked some of the guy's scores for disco's along with my own and noticed many boots. I was getting booted on the hour for a while, did some tweaking and don't know If i fixed it or they fixed it after TT was gone. I think i remember AKDG being booted 18 times during that period. I was like 12 or 13 and my squads Icons were showing up many sectors away from where they really were. UFO's were rampant as well.
-
some weird things happened once the server got back up too,
one of my squaddies's icon was in a completly diff place than he was and was "invisible" for a short while

Arena was getting busy and the old fashion dot bugs started to appear. A little later Bish put out close to 200 dry spawned troops at port p61, inside a 1 minute period. That really smoked the bacon.

Which is the reason this 'feature' needs addressing by HTC.

I was getting shot up by one of your buddies while that happened, I hit the ground and was stuck in limbo, no death no nothing. Had to AltF4 to exit. Thought maybe it was just me.

Seems this happens much more on Tuesdays when the server is over-taxed with players.
Makes me wonder how CT is going to work with hundreds and hundreds of bombers and fighters all in the same area, when it can't even run with folks scattered all over the map.

Faulty info Krusty. Skuzzy's said over n over that a peak arena uses less than 5% of server capacity. Do a search and check it out.

To bad it doesnt stay down TT is a waste of time its a product of sniveling furballers. get the large TT maps out of the regular rotation

He said that and I believe that ...
But there are issues on Titanic Tuesdays, notably UFO and radar bugs.
Once the populations is somwhere >500 players, radar will start to act funny. You can see friendly green dots popping on and of on the maps in random locations. There are red dot's on map over friendly bases that do not move for 5 mins, yet the base doesn't flash because actually there's nobody there. On Compello there's that eternal huge darbar in 11-10 sector, even when there's no activity there at all. Enemy dot's can be seen briefly well outside any radar range circles. When fellow pilots use tuned channel vox, their radio dot may even show up at completely wrong places.
The UFO's are that little dots that sometimes seem to "drop" from other planes and follow them for a few moments. I think that's heppening when the pilot ninimizes his clipboard again.
All those is happening only on Titanic Tuesdays.

Sounds like furballers routinely kick your arse, must suck being a toolshedder.

I wonder... if the issue isn't HTCs servers, it could possibly be the T-1 (I assume) they are connected to. right before this happened I was de-acking a V-base in a 109K and couldn't kill tha auto ack on 4 passes with 30mm! Then suddenly I was suspended in mid air without an aircraft or parachute... I had to "ALT-F4 to get out and saw an arena closed message on the Titanic Tuesday map when I restarted the game.

I know I felt cheated when this happened. We had let out "at least" 200 troops at port 61, our LVTs were dry land spawning. Several of us at 61 were BOPs and when capture took place, we were all in some sent to some sort of Aces High limbo space... I found myself a couple hundred miles away in middle of water. Could not use radio text, it was similar to the old text buffer lag thingy that happens. Had to ALT F4 to get out.
Then arena showed closed for at least 10 min, any of us who were at the 61 capture could not even get back in to arena. When we could get back in, rooks were still at 61 recapturing it. I have no idea if an HTC arena monitor could have caused the problem, but being the consperiousy theorist I am, I felt cheated somehow. :cry
In either case.... a heck of a port capture was surely cheapened by this event. But hey, till computers, code and events can be perfect, i suppose these glitches will happen.

Or, you could try playing on any other portion of the map, and stop sniveling to change the rotation to force others to play the way YOU think they should.
