When I went to play MP today I got an unrecoverable fatal error when I tried to open OFF thgrough the OFF Manager. I had to reintall everything from scratch. I can now open the game through OFF Manager but it still won't work correctly. Everything works fine untill I try to run Multiplayer. Right before the game should go to the field it CTD's. I have completely reinstalled everything from scractch again and it still does it. I can get into MP from the CFS3 MP shortcut but not through the Manager. Just as an experiment I just installed the basic HAH game and the OFF Manager works until I put in the Superpatch and the minipatch then CTD when trying to get to MP. Any ideas?

Jumped back into fixing the old PC last night after all day at work of doing what? WORKING ON COMPUTERS! Well, first off I did a complete uninstall and reinstall of everything, CFS3 AND OFF. I was very careful to make sure I did everything BY-THE-BOOK! I finally got the damn thing working around 7:30pm. So, I go on TS to see if anyone is there and I see Av8er! Perfect! I can test my game. Guess what? NO TS! No I was not ignoring you last night Av8er. So I had to reinstall and reset that up. Anyway, I think I am back up and running short of testing my game online. This being said, I will be on TS tonight at 7:30 pm edt if anyone wants to try and fly. That's right TRY!

Yeah, I got all the files and did the run as admin bit. The error just said Fatal error, CFS3 OFF Manager unable to start, program now closing. No error code or anything. I'll mess with it again tonight I guess!

LAN games will show up in the server list but not WAN games.

Duck, Stumper and myself hooked up last night with HIR with no problems.

You just have to have what Vasco has in his game.

I think using the new upgrade would be a little premature this Sunday. Would wait until everyone has had a chance to get it, install it and make sure it is up and running. I downloaded it last night and it was a breeze! One .exe file. That's it. And The new enhancements and aircraft are fantastic!!!

Will be on TS tonight 12/9 starting at 7:30 pm EDT for some MP games.

Guys! So sorry about the MP missions. I had a problem with some malware that was screwing with my computer. I got everything bac in working order and tested some games with Duck just to make sure. We'll try again in a couple of days. I was ready for some good shoot-em-ups too!

Same time zone as you I think. EDT. We're getting pretty bad wind storms today 35-65 mph so the chances are we could lose power. Check in at 7:30 est. If I have power I will be there.

Sorry Duck! Couldn't fly last night, my daughter had her holiday band concert till 9pm. I am available tonight if anyone wants to fly. I can be on teamspeak at 7:30.

Duck and I will be on around 7:30.

I'll help you put Duck!

Just like Vista! OH yeah I forgot- Win7 is Vista with the accounts manager turned off. LOL

Sounds like fun! Duck makes good missions. Any pics of the bridge going up in flames?

That was a good mission wasn't it! I'll post a pic from the other mission when I get home. I was real glad the Tripes worked in MP! They were fun to fly.

I will be on TS at 8:00 pm edt tonight (1/1/09) to see if anyone wants to fly and/or test out their hosting capabilities. Hope to see you then!

Great news King! If we keep this up we should have enough guys to host almost everyday!

ANYONE HOSTING TONIGHT? Say 7 - 8ish edt.

I will put in the single gun Tripe and see if that works. We did run into some nupes that were invisible in that misson where the tripes showed up but I can fix that.

We did that last week! We practiced take offs, landings, tight formation flying, peeling off to attack enemy aircraft in order and we had guys separate from the main body for a distance then find their way back. But I'm sure some of the newer guys would like to practice their flying skills.

My engine did blow up after I landed. But man, what a great mission! I did not expect to tangle with tripes though! I should have known Black Flight might be lurking around since we were flying close to the coast!

On TS now boys!

I decided not to go to the Bengals game today so I can host some games for awhile starting at 3pm edt. For the benefit of our overseas pilots, if anyone else wants to start earlier that would be great. See you then

Rate your Off online experience based on the following criteria: MP Then & Now. Online glitches (mismatches, jitters, etc.). Ease of joining MP games. Online hosts. Types of MP missions being flown. Attitude and behavior of online players. Do me a favor and rate these on a scale of 1 - 10. Feel free to leave comments both positive and negative on any aspect of the online game. I am hoping other OFF players, online hosts and the OFF developers will be able to get an idea of what the OFF online and offline community at large thinks of the MP aspect the game! Thanks everyone!
