Title: System message
Post by: Traveler on December 15, 2011, 04:36:42 PM
when you shoot some down or when you destroy a Hanger, you used to receive a system message, I noticed my last squad night, that was Saturday evening at 7:PM , that I did not always receive the message, even thought I had just dropped a hanger or shot someone down, My CO Gunston also reported not receiving notification as well.  Has anyone noticed this issue or was it just a fluck?

I've had about 10 kills not register in the past week.  Guy will lose a wing, go spiraling into the ground and explode, then not even an assist in the buffer with no one near by.  The only thing I can think of is the person 'discod' prior to my shots being fired, shots register on my screen, doesn't return a packet from the other computer, so treats it as a true disco, and not a plug pull/force disco.

I haven't experienced the targets being destroyed not showing up.

Same with me, tho not as often.

This being the couple weeks before Christmas, I would think that their is a severe increase in network traffic and although you are probably registering the dropping of hangars and/or being awarded the kills.........

the Holiday Internet Traffic is the cause of not receiving such messages I am assuming....... if memory serves me correctly it has happened around this time in several previous years............ latency/lag  dropped packets etc....... from overloaded Internet......

check your scores to see that it is showing your kill count increasing, even though it is not registering a kill message in the text buffer.......

just a thought

check your width on the buffer I thought I had a problem as well but it seem the text buffer minimized all the way closed
