Based on the results of the survey, it seems that Wednesday turned out one of the best days to run a weekly game night for those who prefer official stats, and as a general alternative to 762. After several weeks of setting things up and testing, we have the server running reasonably well, and are ready to sort of officially announce it:


We are going to start seeding at around 16:00 UTC, but it would not start getting busy until after an hour from the experience of past few weeks. We are not expecting many players, but the goal is to make people aware, and keep going at it regularly so that we could expect that in a future.

For those who cannot join us here on Wednesdays, but want to have this alternative, there are also VBIOS on Euro weekends, and WaW Thursdays and Fridays in Americas. AEF Aussie pub nights are lingering in hibernation.

How is it not set up? It’s showing up fine in my BF2CC. I am going to remove KotH maps now (to avoid that bleed bug), reboot, and start seeding in a few.

Yes, stats are working, Mumble is working (it shows wrong channel, but it works. We’ll get channels sorted by next week, hopefully). After tonight and next week, when all the snags would be ironed out, we’ll make separate topic for this game night to bring even more awareness.

It is true, we having hard time rallying up the people to come out in numbers. We did have about 45 couple months ago, but now, in the summer, we usually get 20-25 tops (So we did last night — best Friday in weeks). But that is why this thread (with uninformative topic name, however) is here, to raise awareness, and get people out.

We really need to get more Latin Americans to join up, but I could not find any specific communities to raise ruckus. Besides, my Spanish is very basic, and Portuguese is non-existent. Otherwise, there are very few Latin American semi-regulars (Jucabala, kar98, David90-30 or somesuch) that play. I saw some Colombians and Argentinians in my admin panel on Euro server as well, but very few.

Try reinstalling BF2 itself, and make sure it is patched properly (I think you have to do 1.41 before you do 1.5, but I am not sure, as I did not have to install it for ages). The file in question is located inside the root Battlefield 2 installation directory.

Not only Rome (or Lisbon ) was not built in a day, and we obviously have a lot of kinks to work out, but even established WaW game night from which we are modelling this event is not immune to an occasional hiccup. Just few weeks ago server was not switched from BF2 Pirates event and we had to scramble trying to find an admin who could switch it back to FH2 in the last minute.

5hitm4k3r, yea, get your community war side ready. We keep training, and you keep cancelling (maybe after seeing us kicking arse and taking names on pub ). Last excuse was that Odium realized there’s summer going on, so no one can be found to play.

kelmola, 130-player is the biggest issue for ranking. After the devs tested stats and maps on 96-player test server, they realized that neither is balanced for that many players, and thus do not allow stats being recorded on modifed larger servers. Even after we’d tried to limit the server to 64 players, it still had shown everyone’s rank as private, so, clearly, that work-around did not help. I posted about it on support forum, but evdently devs stopped going there altogether.

I am sad because i can`t play this mod on multiplayer and anyone can`t help me,so sad   (i can`t play because it tells me :invalid kd key , and many people didn`t bought thsi game and can play it very smoothly.If someone can tell me what to do(without buying the game or something),thx for reading.

This question is not related to this topic, and should have been posted in “Support” forum. However, you might want to try VBIOS server, no reason given, and you did not hear it here or from me.
