Gimp. Have you tried sorting servers by ping, , refreshing , and then clicking on servers. It should then start the peekaboo-minigame with the servers

I didn't notice it at first because unless playing on faves i pick server based on map.

Re: Setting some facts straight.

Yup... my server list has been set to sort by ping since day one.
Donno. For some reason, my list doesn't seem to resort "live".

Re: Setting some facts straight.

Are you on a T1 Gimp?Might explain why your not getting it.The ping changing everytime you click on the server causes it to jump around like it does.B4 the patch just the ping value would change rather than the server location in the list.

Re: Setting some facts straight.

Lucky you I guess, I had 8 CTD's and 6 server crashes within a couple of hours. But according to some around here I am just seeing things that are not there. Yeah right

Well, I'm on about 6 CTDs within 3 hours of solid play. Prior to 1.3, I'd get one a week...maybe. At this point a CTD is good news, because sometimes it just locks up entirely and takes me down to the raw Blue Screen of Death. That never happened prior to 1.3. Never. Ever. Ever. At all.

I've also noticed that the game is now showing all sorts of "noise", not unlike watching a 1920's movie.

So the Gimp can make assertions like a lawyer or pontiff, but the fact remains, I'm seeing this stuff and it's a problem. If you dont believe me and live in the area, I'd be more than happy to show you first hand. See it with your own eyes.

Lots of immaturity on these boards aside, no one can honestly suggest we're making this up.

Claim: Nerfing Squadhopping has killed teamwork


Evidence: A couple great rounds I just played were I was SL and my mates did a fantastic job of supporting me. I haven't had so much fun with BF2 in a long time. This isn't exactly evidence since I'm basing it on personal opinion/experience, but you get the idea (I hope).

this could have happened before the pre-patch changes. i understand that you understand that too from the rest of your statement. this is not a complaint either.

this fix hasnt had any real impact on me, except in little ways that arent worth explaing/complaining about.

Re: Setting some facts straight.

While I still feel my original statment still holds true, after a few days of playing, there obviously are some issues that need some attention.

I'd like to see some random variation in vehicle drop location.
Server stability does seem to have been impacted negitively.
There are a few people that seem to have unsolvable client end issues.

Overall, I've still had no client problems and no one I know has had any that couldn't be solved. I've also had more fun playing in the last couple days than I have in a couple months.

Re: Setting some facts straight.

yeah, the mods/custom maps servers seemed to be hit hard by the patch, imo. usi just ctd's when i boot it up, i dont even get to the login. no wake air show servers have shown up for me yet under the patch either.

the first night i was having horrible lag like never before, but dropping textures to med fixed it (like you said... client side issues seem to be a prob). i dont mind the visual drop either, as long as the game is stable.

Re: Setting some facts straight.

I'm still wondering how it's possible that I don't have any problems with vanishing servers...

Very odd. My refresh button works fine too.

Hate to refresh an old thread, but this caught my eye.
You still have a refresh button after 1.3 Wargimp?
I only have the update server list or whatever it is showing, the refresh button has disapeared.

Nope.
I made a post a couple back commenting on my brainfart.
Mine vanished too. I just didn't notice.
