game is down

http://sim-outhouse.com/index.php?loc=down...e=cfs3-missions the ones with ph-3 are for bhah,,, pd is also working on new ones,,,which i belive will be posted in the combatace download section when finished. for a great tuturial on mp missions,,,http://sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/showthread.php?t=2636

if numbers dont give you a headache,,,go here..watermark on page makes it a pain to look at..but shows the differnece between the 2 cards.... http://www.overclock.net/graphics-cards-ge...comparison.html

probably gonna get a lot of different answers for this question.. I started out moving my sliders down a bit....5 3 3 3 2,,,and moved all my card settings up gradually...when there was no noticeble difference in game play,,i started moving sliders back up.. I think there is a big differenc between 3 an 4 on the sliders,,,cant say that i notice much between 4 and 5 in my opionion,,most important settings,,,, aa,,,hate lines that arnt straight... af,,,hate when the scenery changes as you fly.... seems like vert sync should be always on.. triple buffer,,,seems like this should be checked to,,,still dont have a clue what it does. but,,before you do all this,,make sure your overides in cfs3config are set correctly... http://www.overflandersfields.com/Tips.htm and thanks for that tip about terrain rooster,,,wasnt aware of that,,,

Hi, I looked at my computer at home, which has both bhah with mb, and cfs3, and i had already downloaded and installed mb for that (for use with off2) The only verify.dll file i have is in my java folder. this is what you said in your first post. I clicked on MB.exe in OFF and was told I didn't have a file verify.dll. I got a copy of this and placed it in the OFF MB folder. I then click on MB.exe in the OBD/MB folder and I am presented with the following error message: "The procedure entry point jpeg_std_error could not be located in the dynamic link library jpeg.dll" As i found out, you cannot run mb from the folder, it has to be the shortcut. I then asked if you had run from the start>all programs>overflanderfields >mission builder , which you said yes. Not sure exactly what the verify.dll file did to your install,,,even more curious why it would effect both your cfs3 and off mb, but if you want. i can send you my jpeg.dll file.... considering the small size of the obd mb folder, i can send you all of that too. this is all just guesswork here,,,no idea if its going to work or not, but seems like your jpeg.dll is corrupt. If that is true, big questions is why your cfs3 jpeg.dll is corrupt too

thats funny,,,i dont have a verify.dll either,,,,,,

game is down

I havnt gotten to memory yet.....probably will,,just dont know enought about it. The only thing i think i can say for certain right now is that the sliders have (at least on my system), the most impact on game performance. When i first put this together, i ran off for the first time at 555555.....and it stuttered......so i set things back down,,,and started this thread about ati settings.. Since then,, i have slowly moved everything in cc up to max,,with exception of the af,,its at 8, 12 being max, and the Catalyst ai setting , which i have no clue what does....sliders are at 5 5 4 4 4 3. Game doesnt stutter, but still get white triangles when i move trackir fast..or use my hat. But,,just otta curiosty,,,from my "edo" days....mem setting used to be something like 5 2 2 2...where the 5 is the time for the address look up,,,,,is it basically the same,,only now they report that timing last?

The only time bhah "borrows" anything is when you are installing it....Once its installed it "borrows" NOTHING from the cfs3 intallation... so,,to configure cfs3 you use the cfs3config in that intallation folder,,,to configure BHAH, you use the cfs3congig in your over flanders field directory. I gotta feeling once you find the config file for BHAH, and using the recommendations in the url I sent you,,,as well as maybe tune down your sliders, you will be verry pleased with it. Ive played it on alot slower computers than what you have, and sure,,,i had to tone down secnery and terrain quite a bit, .. but it played great.

It usually goes up to 16, (number of players allowed) in doffight and team dogfight For whatever reason, ive seen it stick at 4 when i host a game. not sure if same limit applies to mission games. Not sure what you mean by "war", but dogfights and missions are played on a somewhat regular basis,,,no real schedule. Didnt say where you are (time zone wise), but let me know when you want to try mp anything, and ill do my best to get on. There is a tuturial in this forum, if you havnt done any mp take a look at it. Need new users to feedback what parts of it might be confusing. Do the teamspeak part for sure,,,,so much easier when you can communicate. and damn,,,i havnt seen "s!" in years!! ' I was always "this is my first text post",,,or whatever it said...

if your in vista i belive its called appdata http://help.lockergnome.com/vista/Accessin...topict1391.html if you are in xp,,might be a hidden file,,,, in widows explorer...tools > folder options > view tab...at bare minimum,,,,deselct hide folder for known file extensions,,,and click on show hidden folders, and i always show system files.

Ive runn off3 on a pretty similar system. how much of the cfs3config recommendations have you done? and what are your sliders set to? if they are high,,i would set them all down, and try again.. http://www.overflandersfields.com/Tips.htm

game down 13 will only be up for an hour or so on teamspeak

the search page says this is the software, not sure if that is accurate or not http://www.soft32.com/download_183330.html same here,,,,says its software.......they both could be just drivers...http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/win/53226 and save that gameport to usb adaptor,,,they are very handy to have...was PISSED when i update 2000 to xp ..gotta ton of gamport devices that wouldnt work with the sound card i had...

who says you dont see damage....

well....it worked a couple times,,,then didnt,,,so removed post...

GAME IS DOWN will run a mission will be on teamspeak

saw a post from pd that he was going to put up missions as soon as he figured out how. did that ever happen, and if so,,,,where do we get them..... didnt see anything in the download section.

are you getting it thru the start>all programs>overflanderfields >mission builder ? you cant start it up thru explorer, and you cant take the exe in the mb folder and create a shortcut......(dont ask me why,,,,u just cant) stump put up a shortcut you can use for mission builder,,, http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showtopic=37576

If i go thru a game using the off manger, alt-tab gets me out of the game,,,but find it impossible to get back in.. so for quick combat,,i just run a shorcut to cfs3.exe for mp,,i run a shortcut thru cfs3mp.exe I know this does nothing for campaigns... there is a "run windowed" option somewhere, that i think lets you run the game like any other window, dont know what other implications it has on how the game plays.

Ok..so i take it the suggestion is to try and run this thru a mission format, rather than dogfitght.. Its a great suggestion, cause I have always said the missions with tons of aircraft/ground targets and the like play better than dogfights. There are advantages of a dogfight format, in that if it is necessary to have more than one "dual" in the same game, and its a mission, everyone has to wait until the last dual is won. griphos...next time you are going to join mp dogfight, go to your cfs3config, and in the overrides, select disable scenery....that might improve your plane a bit. or...move back to civilization..

There is a post in the mp forum for pilots interested in a mp dog fight ladder type contest. Great opportunity to have allot of fun flying mp against other pilots. We all can't wait to see how we do against the aces in campaign, here's an opportunity to see how we do against the best in mp.

Good point everyone. So one thing that has to be done is find the best possible host(s). We have some control over that factor. Obviously we do not have any control over the the individual pilots internet. Along the same lines, probably should shoot for a day that does not have heavy internet usage.

Just out of curiosity,,is this a gameport joystick, or a usb joystick? And when you say xp does not support it, do you mean the joystick itself or the software that lets you program the stick (or both....)
