Being logged out doesn't matter.  It always works here at work with Comcast Business.

At home with Comcast residential service it doesn't work.  But it used to.  This just started happening in October, as far as I remember.  I used to be able to access warumdarum.de at home.

I am not sure about private vs. public forums either.  I just try to visit this forum, or the main page.....no difference.

I'm still using a system I build nearly 8 years ago.  Maybe when I upgrade........

But for now I don't really need to, it works fine for what I use it for.  I hardly ever game anymore

What server?  I'm looking at the server monitor but it shows nothing.

Most of my brightness problems resulted from using a 16+ year old CRT monitor.  Swapped to a newer CRT that I had lying around and brightness isn't a problem, even when the monitor is only set to 1/2 brightness.

The old CRT must be worn out!

Ok.  Perhaps the hosting server can look into it.

Is there a console command available where I can adjust the brightness of BF2/FH2?  There is no option to adjust this in the in-game settings menu, nor the settings in the FH2 launcher.  Thank you.

To be honest, when I have checked the servers lately (usually between 6pm and 7pm Central Time) and there are less than 10 people playing, I don't even bother.  I know this is the wrong thing to do, because if everyone did what I did, then nobody would be playing and the numbers would not increase.

But, whenever I have joined a server with less than 10, not much later, the numbers are dropping, and before you know it, you have a 2 vs 3 match going.  Too few, too boring.

Now I'm not a player who wants 100 players.  I prefer 40-70 players total on a server as the "sweet spot."  With somewhere between 25 and 40 players per team.

Even so, MGs should still be able to be fired "blind" even if you are in the ducking/cover position.

Not being able to fire an MG because you have ducked down doesn't make much sense.
