Title: what's with the vox?
Post by: uptown on December 21, 2008, 02:55:35 PM
The vox has been going out arena wide for some time now. Atleast ever other day. This can't be fixed? I've tryed .resetv 1,2, &3 and that does nothing. Relogging doesn't even help. I don't have comcast so the problem can't be with them. It must on HTCs end. Connections are crap and discos a plenty.

When this was happening before the excuse was the election was craming the internet.Now I guess it must be online shopping because of the holidays? I'm not buying it. I have no connection issues with any other web sites I go to. Just this one.

I have background programs shut down to about 20 processes running with 2g of ram, very good video cards (SLI), in a Alienware gaming computer, duel core processor and frame rates that hold at 60 even in furballs.

WTF is going on HTC?

Well, someone has to bring this up. It's like the 800lb gorilla in the room. I just want the game to work right.Don't think that's too much to ask. :salute

Late War Orange is the only arena with this issue. I visited others and no problem.

I've been seeing this for some time...odd effect which occurs when too many squeakers key up all at once, all screaming about an LA7 coming in...dogs near some small town in Texas start barking for no reason, and speakers are blown across the country

OMG that was halarious  :lol

I didn't know it wasn't in the other arenas. I'll hit blue next time it happens maybe. The game, for me, is about spending time with pals over the internet - it really makes the game for me. When VOX goes, I tend to just log out and come back later, but maybe next time I'll hit another arena.

have you tried .reset v?

That does vox, iirc

I have, and it works about 50% of the time I'd say. Sometimes it simply doesn't I know for sure, and a few times it has.

".resetv" never has been successful on my vox.

Vox in MW has been fine. Of course we've all been dealing with the AT&T problem.

I have been having the same problem.  .resetv does not work at all.

If I relog, it helps for about 5 minutes, but not for my squaddies that have lost theirs and not relogged, yet.

How many times have you seen anyone at HTC answer a question posed like you've done here?  C'mon now uptown, you've been around long enough to know that they deal with this kind of crap enough as it is.  Try treating our friends with some more respect.

Yes you're right. I apologize HTC. It just gets a little aggravating at times. :salute

Curious since i hadn't played while this was occurring, but in the past i notice when the vox/text started having plms, it'd often lead to "firing blanks" with way delayed damage effects.  

Planes would still fly "normally," tho, which led me to conclude in the past that the dmg/vox/text data was lumped togetehr seperately from the flight dynamics/updates data.

So... is this still the same?

I noticed that in the other arena, but vox was ok there. Most bad guys were real warpy so I went to blue, and vox went out.

In my experience, if Vox goes out, it's when there are ~500+ people in one arena.

yeah.. vox is a ginormus data load... i've always said a) vox is the e-vile and b) it makes one lazy in SA, etc.

Now that you mention it, that seems true.
