: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.

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
