what is with the MP code?

Pugilist · 02-07-2002, 03:41 AM

I am constantly getting "connection to server timed out" errors, and random disconnects from servers for no reason. I have DSL and in every other game I have played online, get pings under 100 that run rock stable. I cannot understand what it is with this game, for it surely isn't my system or connectivity.
I also know there has been a lot of flaming going on these boards about this game and alot of other stuff in general, and would appreciate people not posting argumentative things in this topic because that is not why I am posting it.
On that note, does anyone have similar problems and is EA going to address this?

Hey dude, server connection timed out is not the games fault, nor the coding of the MP. stop trying to pin everything on the MP. this game is so awesome, i can't even take it all in. btw... server connection timed out means either your internet service cannot get through to the other internet connection, or the other internet connection is lagging pretty badly. but if it really was the MP code that was the problem, i think everyone would be experiencing the same things, and i never get timed on on server connections. its not the games fault buddy, so don't pin this on EA.

#1 - It is EA's problem "buddy" because I am far from the only one with these problems.

#2 I asked nicely in the original post to keep the attitude and flames out of this post as I was looking for constructive input, but I guess you can't fathom that.

#3 Put down the "fanboy" banner and see that this games coding is far from perfect.

#4 I am a HUGE supported of this game, and have nothing but praise for 95% of it, so don't get so paranoid that I am "bashing".

Would you like a reply? Yes? Okay...

1. Did I ever say that you were the only one with this problem? No. What I said was that not everyone times out as frequently as you. Therefore, it's not a problem for some people. As for if it's EA's problem, hardly. Talk to your ISP about it, not EA.

2. Flaming? You think that is flaming? Wow, if you think that is flaming you have some issues. Go to some more boards and check. Believe me, I made no attempt at making fun of you.

3. Fanboy? When did I EVER say that this game is perfect? Never! All I said was that it's a lot better than you're giving it credit for. One, you assume that the game is responsible for the Timed Out Connection problems, which is not true, its either your internet provider (has to do with packet loss), or the actual connection speed of the server.

4. And when exactly did I seem worried that you were bashing, or even hinted as to whether I even cared if you were bashing or not? I come from a long line of WWII computer game simulation failures (WWII Online being one of them) so I know bashing. If I was bashing it would be a lot more blatent than anything you've seen here.

Sorry you don't know how to anylize things, but really get your facts together before you say things.

1: if youre trying to play on a server with the coop mod and you dont have it, it wont work

2: hit ~ once in awhile. chances are the server is for "low pings only" which means your ping to the server.

3: EA can't fix an unstable connection on the host

Pugilist · 02-07-2002, 04:04 AM

Parchy go ahead and reread your first reply. If that cannot be construed as "defensive" then I don't know what to tell you. As far as the flames go, just let our little conversation end here and leave this post to its original intention. Though, I am sure you will reply anyway, rest assured this is my last acknowledgment to your replies on this topic.

i tried to host game and it always got server connection timeout when anybody wants to join... is it because i'm using 56k connection?? is there a way to improve it?

02-07-2002, 05:17 AM

firewall etc...trust me...if you 56k...maybe you could host a 1 v 1 server

Parchy, here's a head-up for you...MoH's code is amateuer shite.

I have just been playing DoDv2.0 for the last seven hours, on different servers, and the difference between that and MoH is TRULY staggering.

Not one instance of lag, apart from when a new map loads and players come in. Prone positions, kick-ass weapons, skins, and the maps are FUCKING AWESOME!!! I mean really, absolutely breathtaking. The game reeks quality. And, get this...FREE!!! All you need is a copy of Half-Life...DoD is bloody gratis.

MoH, by comparison, is utter dreck. That's not to say MoH isn't fun, IF played under tightly controlled conditions, but it isn't even on the same planet as DoD, never mind in the same league.

2015's only previous experience with coding was a mod for SiN...and it shows. MoH is an unfinished game that EA shoved out the door because they were sick of waiting for 2015 to honour their schedule. DoD, on the other hand, is a masterpiece...and it's only on beta v2.0.

Some people know what they're doing...game code, net code. Others don't...2015.

You may not like it, but it's the truth.

Poor 2015 they dont get no repsect...

Its not thier fault they arnt MICROSOFT® they are like a first timer and everyone blames them for everything thinking that its all in the "net"code. Maybe there is some coding problem but maybe there is such thing as 56k. There is also gamespy© they are known to lag alot and with a built in server powered by gamespy© Lag is always gunna happen.

Lag is always around you cant get rid of it face it there are ways to trick the ping meter from saying 500 to say 120 while it is still lagging badly. Yes argue argue away i dont give a $h!t

SS.SGW~Siggi,

If you like DOD 2.0 (with roller skate running and totally crappy ass graphics) go play the stupid game instead of bashing MOH:AA. I'm sick and tired of hearing it. Say something useful or stop posting.

*rant off*

Try this, especially #1 and #2:

Pugilist, I think I've had that problem to. I run WinME, No firewalls, No other progs running, I'm on a 1 meg cable connection, I ping below 50 most of the time, game be running great then all the sudden the phone jack thingy shows up and I drop from the server no spikes or nothing just freezes and drops me out, It happens on maybe 50% of the servers I've played on. Ive never encountered this prob in any other game since I've been on cable. If you find out the cause let me know....Thanks

Hey, Siggi. I see you're still in the revenge business

I have HalfLife, but I hate it. It is like Quake 2 graphics which gives me motion sickness. If DoD uses same engine, I can't play it. Otherwise, sounds cool.

I think the problems with MoH connections is the lack of good servers. But I could be wrong.

Try this: set it for LAN, even if you have dsl or cable. It improved my connection a little, like from 50 to 30.

Also, to all you posters: don't worry about abusive posters. They feel they have to insult you if you ask a question. They are all over this forum. So get used to 'em and don't let them bother you. So many threads turn into flame wars it's ridiculous.
