Suggestions / Shrapnel Sound effects
« on: 14-01-2014, 00:01:47 »
I came across this crazy video the other day, and was especially struck by how audible the shrapnel buzzing around was.

It feel like it would be pants-shittingly immersive if there was a way to add more pronounced shrapnel sounds to artillery barrages and such.

Off-Topic / Battle of Itter Castle?
« on: 12-06-2013, 17:06:02 »
I came across this article the other day, describing a battle that took place in the very last days of the war which sounds incredibly fascinating, though I'd never come across a reference to it before.

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2013/05/12/world-war-ii-s-strangest-battle-when-americans-and-germans-fought-together.html

Supposedly, a few tanks of the 12th Armored liberated Itter Castle in Austria, which housed high value French prisoners. Shortly afterward they came under attack from remnants from the 17th SS Panzer Grenadier Division, and during the battle the US forces were aided by the French prisoners and soldiers of the Wehrmacht with anti-Nazi sentiments. Essentially they duked it out from the walls of a full-on classic castle which is one of the coolest images ever (what a map that would make)...



Has anyone read the book mentioned, or know anything about the validity of the article? Can't seem to find other sources. Just thought I'd share in case this is new to others. Certainly blew my mind

So I've been dealing with some high ping issues lately, and was messing around with my firewall settings and such. FH2 could see and connect to the 762 servers, though the ping was way too high (300-600+). I was at a loss, so I restored my firewall to it's default settings, hopefully that wasn't a bad move, but I was trying everything.

Anyway, since I did that, all of a sudden I can see and connect to the hslan server again, but the all other servers are hidden. When I tried to connect to IP, I get this message "you do not have the mod which is currently activated on this game server".

What did I do?

I should add that the ping on hslan is in the 150-200 range, which is normal for me. So I guess I was on the right track with the firewall causing my bad ping.

FH2 Help / Support / Moved, now unable to find any servers
« on: 12-06-2012, 23:06:29 »
Hey guys,
So I just moved to a new city, and since I've gotten my computer up and running, I have been unable to see any of the regular servers, only some Japanese co-op one. I can see and connect to all the regular vanilla BF2 servers though, and my roommate is running FH2 fine off his laptop. I am not running it through steam, if that could have any relevance. I also re-updated punkbuster, double checked ingame server filters, etc.

I'm not much good with networkish issues, so I'm in the dark. I'm fairly desperate to play again, so any help would be awesome!
