OK, since we got 1.4 installed and PoE seems to be patched who fancies some Monday night BF2:PoE goodness.

I can stick the MH password on the server so we can embarras ourselves in privacy as we try to get to grips with it. There is a map designed for infantry only called "Fallen" How's about we start with that and see how it goes?

All those interested post below :)

this is an interested post below:tongue:

Well I would love to have joined you but the patch has screwed my install.<_<
Black screen then back to desktop.:eyebrow:

I'm in.

Fallen, by the way, is entirely awesome.

Definitely interested, should even be able to make it on Monday ...

im in anyone got a poe linky?

below :)

I got 1.4 installed and been trying to get POE but all the links seem to take about 7 hours to download. Just in case you are not aware I am having hassle with my connection re-synching at an annoying high frequency.
What I'm trying to say is does anyone have a link to a fast download site, and not a torrent as I don't have a torrenty client.
Ta muchly in advance like :biggrin:

If I ever make it into work, I'll burn it to a disk or summat.

Or you could just download this (http://www.bitcomet.com/)

Right I've whinged to BT and they have finally raised a case to look at it. I thought they did this when I first whinged on the 10th August, but apparently there isn't one, or even when I re-raised it last week, :taz:
Found a reasonably fast link downloading at 238kb/s. Fingerscrossed my line lasts that long.
Thanks for the offers lads, depending on the result I might take you up on them. 8)

I'll be there. :)

cheers guys always helpfull you lot :clap:

I'm up for that. My interested post is below Blunt's interested post :narnar:

Given there should be a decent attendance I will password the server with the normal meathook password for the evening - so I can make a muppet of myself without being too embarrased :)

I'm downloading it now.

Bumpage...

still on for this evening?

roger, will be there at 2000hrs sir!

I have put the Meathook password on the BF2 server. Anyone who doesn't know how to find that in the forum will not be allowed on the server :devil:

Does Punkbuster require you to be an administrator on your machine? Pretty daft if it does.

i dont know just installed patch 1.4 and joined a server got kicked, got kicked again changed server got kicked, changed server got kicked, changed server got kicked and then i got annoyed and posted on here
 
And thats the end of my life story :tongue:

try installing the ppatch again or uninstall it and reapply it.

I'll be on about 8

Is this the regular BF2 server, or a different one?

To ask it another way, is 87.240.138.22:16567 correct?

No, you need to download and install the PoE client as per http://www.deadmen.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?p=147847 and join our PoE server (details at link)

Got that, and roger.

:taz: left POE downloading, reasonable speed and my connection seemed to be stable, only to come back and find that it got to 86% and the BB connection had re-synched :angry: :taz:
So I might not be on tonight. Trying again and I have about 1 hour to go.

Don't bother, it was cack. Most of the guys couldn't join squads because of some silly bug or other :(


So we moved to the BF2 server and people started getting kicked from the server for no good reason, me included, so I called it a night.

Will try to find some answers during the week to see if we can improve things for next week.

This squad-join bug usually lasts one game only.

I don't feel so bad about missing it if that was the case..

I got back from taxi duty to find that I had visitors...I was really looking forward to a game too<_<

After being kicked twice by Punkbuster then unable to join squad then unable to join vanilla BF2 I too decided to abandon BF2.<_<

Can we turn off the "kick if not in a squad" thing on the POE server to give us a chance to get into the game.
 
I didn't have any problems creating or joining squads on POE - very odd.

Sounds like a plan, I'm on it

Right! Squadless kicker removed from both servers (you cant remove it from just one as it is a shared install).

I can join the poe2 server fine and can join a squad. Can one of the guys who was having probs last night (OB? Lib?) please try the POE server and let me know how it is?

Cheers

sorry missed out, got invited to friends for dinner did'nt get back until 2130.

I've been playing some PoE the last few days at the office and the mod is really great. I really hope that we can get another game going soon :flirty:

I tend to have some "lag" though, which I blame on my AC'97-compliant on-board sound card. Even though it is a SoundStorm card it will be seen as only AC '97 :( I have tried to reconfigure the settings but to no avail.

When there are too many sounds playing at the same time, with EAX enabled, the game lags irregularly. It has no relation to load on the graphics card. :unsure:

Isn't EAX only effective on SoundBlaster hardware? I remember reading it somewhere.
http://www.tweakguides.com/BF2_6.html

I'll be on server tonight from about 8 if anyone wants to drop by and see if PoE works now we have removed the squad kicker. It is possible that the squad kicker was conflicting with the bugfix which prevents you from "squad hopping".

I was on the server checking out the maps and 1.4 yesterday and the day before with no problems at all

Well, okay, probably.

We were fine on the first map, it was after the server restart that we couldn't join a squad on our side. We flipped over to the other side and we were fine.

Probably just a bug that would have sorted itself out.

But more likely, just me an OB being silly! (http://home.btconnect.com/liberator/tease.gif)

I've joined for a few rounds.
Then lost my connection and had some problems connecting. Will try again next Monday.

I could only play for 1/2 hour or so, but it was good fun...

I'd like to know how the arty works though:blink:

mines r us:narnar:

You need two players to fully operate it. One drives, another shoots. You can of course shift seats. The gun rotates very slowly, but the shots it fires are like artillery drops and can destroy anything in one shot - even several jeeps.
I have not yet used the transfer of coordinates, but based on what I've read (and tried) they players with binoculars look at a target and press fire. You then have 10 seconds to switch to your walkie talkie to transfer. But, with the walkie I have tried pressing fire several times but nothing happens.

Using the artillery to sweep a base before moving in is really good 8)

Its monday, anyone going on the POE server tonight?
 
I should be on by 8:15

That'll depend, got some administrationstuff to do.
You'll find out.

I won't be there :sad:

I will:biggrin:

brill games tonight, now all we need is more ppl and this mod could be a real winner, cheers for the fun chaps:boxing:

good fun but could do with a lot more peeps....it's difficult to sustain an attack or defence with 3v3

would have been on but blueyonder down all night

Managed 1 game, got booted on map change and kept getting booted back to the desktop every time I tried to rejoin after that.

Went and played ArchLord instead.

We worked out how the artillery works too!
Need to have a bit of a practice to get it spot-on though. :biggrin:

After the binoculars and you've clicked fire so to speak, and you go to the walkie, what then?

Quote from: delanvital;152472After the binoculars and you've clicked fire so to speak, and you go to the walkie, what then?

Check arty which way it's pointing, if it points straight up: RUN!!!

I found this pdf (http://www.pointofexistence.com/Downloads/PoE2_Manual.pdf)

QuoteArtillery
Arty Tips:
-Line up your shot using the mini map icon in HEAP view.
-Find a nice spot to camp with a great view of the map.
-Get a commanders crate.
-Use small movements when adjusting your shot.
-You can only spot when a player is in the arty gunner seat.
- Always spot when asked… you get points for assist kills!
Arty Tutorial Video:
- Arty Use (http://pointofexistence.com/linkpics/PoE2_Arty_Demonstration.zip)
-Counter Measures Ground - In PoE we have provided true smoke counter measures. When in a ground vehicle
that has counter measures and you hear a lock on warning that means something big and bad is aiming at you such as
a HOT3 AT missile from a Tiger. The timing of hitting X (Your counters) could save your life... or at least prolong it in
game. This feature will at least give you a chance to fight back and hopefully force the aggressor into a bad situation
where a teammate can put pressure on him or allow you to escape or fire back.

you were getting close but i just keep moving a little and you didnt get me:narnar:
 
but ive seen these things fire in a program on discovery, and they link about 20 of these together and spread them out in a wide area and then using computers they can all fire at various times that the computer controls so that they can put 20 rounds on the target at exactly the same time and can each fire 20 rounds a min due to an auto loader so thats 400 heavy artil shells in a very small area of about 2 k squared in 1 min
 
awesome or what

lib and i had an hour and a half muck around on the maps tonight and sorting things like artilary out, now
 
ALL WE NEED IS PLAYERS
 
P.S. good fun lib
