128 player test - no lag!

[WinstonTheRipper]

Load in, hop in Hurricane... shot out by teammate.

Not unusual, but then he's immediately kicked. Thank you admins!

Server went down?

[Professor Anthrax]

It appears to be back up again. Loading onto Totalize now.

There might be a bug that initiates a vote for mapchange when a player joins. At least it seems to have happened to my brother, a vote came and it was said he was calling for the vote, but he had just joined and didn't do anything.

[CB-Corrado]

Which are your results of the test? When will 64+ player servers be regular part of the game?

[Lightning]

The server is now running FH2 awards.

[McCloskey]

The flags were screwed up when I played yesterday, it had happened at least two times before (it was on Brest) but I can't remember if it was on a regular server or this testing server and thus being a code issue...

[gavrant]

Pity that the server starts lagging with 95-100 players and becomes unplayable with 120 players.

[Flippy Warbear]

I think the past couple of days playing on this server has surpassed the total gaming time I had on 2.4...

And I've been loving it.

[JackONeill]

When I try to join it the game crashed back to the desktop. Anyone knows a fix?

€: Seems to be a bigger problem. It keeps crashing at joining other servers too.

Not all of the maps in the game are well designed to handle 128 players. Not in technical terms but in equipment/vehicle distribution. Anyway I still feel like breaching the veil to a successful, long term 128 player server is a pointless goal. Decreasing player downtime and increasing the pace of the action can be handled by better spawn distribution and increasing reliance on mobile spawns.

[Thorondor123]

It's not about "decreasing player downtime" or "increasing the pace of action". There are n+1 of those kind of games.

It's about having large battles with 128 or more people. That's pretty rare.

[DocHawkeye]

But what's the goal of having 128 player battles? Just for the sake of having those battles? A more tangible objective based on increasing the quantity of action seems like the better answer. Just telling people "you're in a huge battle" and referencing a player list isn't as good as them actually perceiving and participating in that kind of action.

[Ts4EVER]

It's about having lots of players around charging int he same direction as you without having the feeling of being on artificially small maps.

The server is now running FH2 awards.

I'd love to see working stats, but how about requirements? It will be much easier to get them on a server with more enemies, like fore example "50 kills with a submachinegun".

On a related note: how about vehicles? Is the layout original, or has it been modified to fit the larger amount of players?
