Disappearing players

[ap0cfury]

kinda hard to shoot down an EA when they disappear on me :/

Yes I set my player limit to high - first thing i checked.

Happend a few times tonight when the server actually had a lot of people on it....enemy planes kept vanishing ...dont recall if friendly where doin it also as I dont track the friendly planes with my aa :/

Is this the norm for a lot pf people?

[sylk]

This happened to me also tonight. There one second, gone the next. Many times.

[ap0cfury]

It makes it absolutley impossible to use the one piece of equipment I still enjoy using...the AAA

[mrblue]

I thought you were talking about the dwindling number of players in game. Its a weekend..and NOBODY is playing. Everytime CRS thinks they have the best new idea for the game they end up dicking it up. These clowns are inept at best. I swear to god they sit around playing WoW and realize, "Hey WW2ol is working pretty good now, huh?" "Yeah, lets add something to to screw it up and piss off our paying customers that also serve as our unpaid beta testers." "Sweet idea dude. How about we add a few floating tanks, uber armored sherms, axis LMG's that wont deploy, more clipping feet, a couple cool new host and chat errors, disappearing EA and invisible EI." "Yeah dude, that would be bad ass!" "Lets finish our WoW session and then we'll make it happen.!"

"And remember, when they post negative threads and whine about our unplayable game theyre paying money to play, what do we say?"

"BUY MORE RAM!" "Lmfaololzbwahahahahah....our customers are such idiots! ROFLMFALOMUHAHAHAHAHH."

so my answer is "yes"

if you wanna use the AAA then be prepared to deal with dying to invisible units.....gotcha.

And to what Mrblue said....even if any of what you said they do was really true....even if 75% of the customers for this game knew that where true...they would still pay for this game....seems kinda stupid.

Anywhoz, thats all I needed to know.

3 more days on my sub then im gone.....not playin today so actually two more days then im gone....who knows, maybe in these 3 days they fix this game to where im so impressed ill resub for a whole year!!

heh, seriously doubt thats going to happen

[mrblue]

within the last hour I was behind a DB7 when he was diving in to bomb our troops. he just started to pull out of his dive after release, was about to light his ass up and POOF..he disappears. seriously? On the same mission, prior to my DB experience, I thought i observed a spit9 in a climb and begin to loop over. it just didnt look right, his plane position never chaged but he was in fact starting a loop. I pulled back, increased my climb rate in my 109G and got a perfect cockpit/top of plane shot on him. As i rolled out i looked back and was like WTF??? he wasnt in a loop...he was flying BACKWARDS straight up...never did blow up...and I was moving on to another spit after a 'sure kill'...

This last mission I bombed and destroyed roer bridge. dropped 250lbx2 on it. there were two churchills on the bridge when it collapsed. never got a kill credit for the tanks i dropped 500lbs of bombs on but I did see one in the water floating and flipping around on my next pass...

[ap0cfury]

lol one of the main reasons I wont even think about flying anymore.

wayyyyyy too many "WTF??" moments....

That and the fact of anytime I question why this or that about an axis planed compared to the allies I just get "allied biased planes, CRS nerfed the axis" and its not from one or two people....its from EVERYONE agreeing that planes have been alterd to fit one side better then the next.

so I just stick to shooting them down with aa....or, I did, when I could see them, but now i cant see them so....yeah.

[kilo14]

disappearing stuff is annoying as hell, wish that would go away. especially flying.. have to make fast decisions and smart ones, cant do that if I cant see what hes doing, or I cant see his buddy till Im gettin pew pew'd to death.

as far as plane bias.. I dont see any. Flown both sides, all rides. The reason most people cry bias is they dont take the time to actually learn to fly THAT airframe. They will fly a spit and be like.. ohhh loop loop, then try to fly a 109 the same way. Doesnt work. You have to learn how to fly the plane you are flying. 90% of the time, the problem is pilot/user error, not bias. Kinda sad actually how few people really take the time to learn their plane, learn how to fly and fight. Yea sometimes frustrating wtf moments happen (espeically lately) but most of that is server issues, and newtowrk communication failures (IE I shoot him, but he doesnt seem to get hit.. his client never got the memo he was hit). But anywhoo.. the bugs suck.. harcore

[pegmon]

Disappearing players, I have seen (or not seen ) them.

Biggest frustration is enemy units not taking hits. Just now I exited the game due to frustration. No matter what I hit it does not die. I thought maybe it was just me playing like a noob until I was no more then 5 meters from an French soldier (I am playing Axis). I shoot him 5 times in the head. Each hit gives the Blood splat. All the while he is shooting in another direction. After the 5th time I hit him in the head, he turns, gives a burst of his sub machine gun and I die.

I also have the no AAR report issue.

I have been playing this game since 2001 and have never had any major issues until now.

I have been playing with the same hardware for over 3 years and have never have any major issues until now.

Venting mode off..

Thanks

Peg that's something different and I'm trying to look into it more. Is the "hits not registering" bug happening after a host outage or is it happening all of the time. Does it ALWAYS happen.

At the OP I think you're describing a good bug here.

"Players popping on and off my vis list". I'll need to track this more. Any info is helpful.

[GOPHUR]

New host Tuesday afternoon with several improvements and fixes. Any improvement for you guys with invisible players?

[fxmmauser]

IT's IMPOSSIBLE to go AA on vis limit low!! EA Bomber pops up when he is red and too late to aim the bofors!

When the number of units on the game is over the player limit enemies need to replace friendlies and in AA role EA should have priority over ground units.

In this occasion I had bombers flying around the AB but could not see them but I could see every friendly player inside the AB

[Hardlead]

I have also experienced disapearing air planes, and no hits registerd when I have seen multiple EA 40mm hits on screen, but no reaction.

There are also cases when I killed EI or EA and not recived the credit.

EIs I have been alone firing hull MG from tank.

EAs Only one firing, and shooting off wings from EA, no credit.

GOPHUR

still getting the vanishing planes when area packed with people.

REALLY nice fight going in flavion and SO many ea to shoot at yet I line em up just to watch them go "poof"...gone, just like back in the old day's.

is this the same bug, will it ever be fixed?

FYI Gophur, Kilo and I were flying together for several hours yesterday and still are experiencing not being able to see each other on map despite being in the same mission (and flying in formation with one another!).

Best regards!

[rebel357]

I have never had invisible enemies. Ive put in several thousand hours into game with over 30,000 air to air kills. Not one ever disappeared unless he was dead or pulled his connection. If A pilot is dead he will disappear when he despawns. U cant bail if your dead.

Map is bugged bez. i put a post up abt it/

[ap0cfury]

rebel its the same bug or whatever you want to call it from the begining.

too many players in one area...game decides who you can see and who you cant see.

my visible player limit is set to high but i think high is a limit of 64 people.

idk, it drives me crazy when waiting for the server to fill up only to have that be a detriment to what im trying to do....shoot down planes.

I know you fly a lot rebel so im not talking about me as being a pilot and the planes disappearing, im talking about aaa trying to shoot planes.

[rebel357]

I never seen enemies disappear, only friendlies.

[dertod]

Last few day i got a sherman enemie, i was shooting with my pak40 1 km away on top hill he was dissapear few sec then come back, happened few time before i killed him, i got a good connection with 59m/s ping. wtf?

[GOPHUR]

I think ap0c is right but there is some host improvement that needs to be done since the host rewrite. Trying to get a handle on that.
