VeNT · 8 Aug 2006 at 18:40

Reppyboyo · 8 Aug 2006 at 18:48

Still laggy, Ill give it an hour or so for everyone to eventually get the patch and it should be fine.

Alrik · 8 Aug 2006 at 19:07

I managed to have a lag free game so it does work

Dont know, shall we set a provisional 8pm for a game? and go from there.. gives people time to see the thread..

Alrik · 8 Aug 2006 at 19:31

Ill be on bout half 8 then having tea then jumping in shower.

gord · 8 Aug 2006 at 19:50

Righto half 8 then we shall aim at..

Ive just had a quick go in the lobby to see what the deal is with the latest patch as im hearing mixed reports.

As far as i can tell, the crashes have been fixed.. it didnt crash from the lobby and i must have been flicking about quite a bit.

However, server load is high.. new record player numbers have been set. Everyone is trying out the new patch and there are a lot of games, so when you hit Play.. be warned.. my game froze a bit but my internet was showing data full on and all its doing is pulling down all those games that are currently being hosted.. once they were down it was back to normal..

Hopefully we can still get our match going.

Reppyboyo · 8 Aug 2006 at 19:52

Im game for half 8.

Hopefully things will have calmed down by then.

Saying that I cant even log in at the moment.

TriedandTested · 8 Aug 2006 at 19:54

So, 2v2 at 8.30pm then?

gord · 8 Aug 2006 at 20:00

Online in my COH contacts msn section are..

Nieldo
Tomdun
Booner
Andr3w
Luke

So im sure we will have enough.. i know Luke has a rather decent upload speed if he is still at the same place he was and would make a top 3v3 host.

Reppyboyo · 8 Aug 2006 at 20:02

Meh, its worse than before the patch.
Constant error screen.

At least it doesnt crash though.

Andr3w · 8 Aug 2006 at 20:03

Me and neildo have just finished a game, we could play?

This is from what we played, the wholes are made by neildo, the army = mine

Ah yeh, forgot to mention that.. it will constantly say connection problem, every 10 seconds.. but i didnt get sent back to the main screen once.. they have upped the thresh-hold for the lag me thinks.

Nieldo and Andr3w have expressed interest to play in the half 8 game.. so i say we try a 3v3..

Anyone got an upload better than standard DSL?

Reppyboyo · 8 Aug 2006 at 20:16

Upload doesnt really matter.

COH uses a peer to peer networking system, the game just goes as fast as the slowest computer.

Andr3w · 8 Aug 2006 at 20:16

Yeh i think me and neildo will play.

How about me/gord/neildo vs? Since us 3 know how each other play and would be daft against each other lol

Righto.. surely its better for the host to have the best connection CPU though anyway?

Reppyboyo · 8 Aug 2006 at 20:26

so whos hosting?
Game name etc?
