Can someone do me a quick favour and tell me what the current version of the game is? Appears on the bottom right hand corner when it starts. Mine's showing 523648, still trying to get the game to connect to servers.

Mine says 522174

The game appears to be broken for me. It seems all the fun has vanished :/


Doesn't matter what server I join, and what class I play I just haven't been able to have any enjoyment in this game since the weekend. Granted I've been in a pretty foul mood in general through being tired and having a crap start to the week at work. But I swear playing this game it feels like I have a huge neon sign above my head which flashes saying "shoot this guy first"

I know what your saying mate about that, i have a feeling you'd be best checking the server info first to make sure Punkbuster is ON, the game seems full of hackers doing there thing, but i find i have much better experience on servers with Punbuster ON.

Lag is getting no better, some games its really bad and sometimes its good, but its very hit and miss at the minute.

As of tonight my game CTD's everytime I refresh the server browser

Why is punkbuster still off on most servers? is there a hack out which has the orange arrow above all enemys at all times ?

Mine says 522174..............

Thats the latest version ...74 at the end is old and needs updating.

Thanks for that - mine actually says 523648. I thought it might not be updating, but evidently not

Don't know what else to try at this stage :/

having some good games tonight passed my 1000 knife mark

is your server 'normal' mode or the dire 'hardcore' ? hoping its normal as the multiplay servers run extra smooth

prolly upped already but just incase ---->

Good job to the slovenly band of scrubs known as the "[ex]" clan, just ruined the game on that atacama server i was just in.

Had a few good games over the last few days on the OcUK server. Should be better now conquest and rush maps in the rotation as it can get boring just doing one mode all the time.

On BT by any chance?

Well it was BT before Vodafone took their business over here (Ireland). I've done pretty much all the local stuff - opening ports, running as admin, turning off firewalls, deleting steam autoupdate and clientregistry files, re-downloading the whole thing from steam again. It's got to be at the server end or something my ISP has set.

to be honest When Spybot search and destroy is visable near the clock as a small icon I would get kicked eventually, now the only internet program I have on is Microsoft essentials and Spybot search and destroy closed, I do now not loose connection to EA ie have to log back in.

 

[C64]

There's certainly a new spawn hack out I have seen people spawn from thin air tonight right in front of my eyes.No squad in sight, sticking to punkbuster on filter only from now on.Doubt it's a bug because I only see high level players spawning from thin air.
Was pretty much a given hax would ruin this game like it does most pc fps I spose.

 

[~>Dg<~]

i know another aimbot was added to pb other day and a lot more were caught and a multihack one .not heard anything bout the spawn one though. maybe a skin hack or something.

 

[Tefal]

for some reason i can;t use the mortar strike on your sever dg works fine o nothers and other people on the server are using it fine.

 

[Gerard]

I swear im so damn sick of hitting Q to spot and nothing happening. Yet another element of this game that appears to be broken.

 

[Marine Iguana]

Whats with the black screen ingame been fine ever since release now its all weird

 

[gizmoy2k]

How does that mean its turned on though lol, it says false instead of true...

Some bright spark discovered that by starting your server with PB on then logging into rcon you can hit the "pb off" button and your server will tell the master servers you are not running PB, how ever you can not turn PB off without a server restart so its not really being switched off at all.

The command i posted above simply sends a command to turn it off after 30 seconds rather than going to the console and doing it manually, but the reality is it stays on ingame but the EA master server now displays your server in the the PB filtered results

EA/DICE are so slow and letting us down so much we all have to turn to cack handed fixes like this from the community
