BF2 with more than 64 players! (Test server up)

Re: BF2 with more than 64 players! (Test server up)

Well, I tried that server.

1.) It's empty
2.) It was telling me the punkbuster is reporting an old version. Not sure if that is why the server is empty or if it's just me.

Anyways, I'd really like to see it filled up.

U should fix the missing .dll problem first, most dont run 64 player server from their home on XP, they use Win 2003??

Damn, k. I will include the dll with the download once I get a chance. I am also working on another version that will work with only ftp access to the server.

=( I don't expect 128 people to play on my server, I don't think it could handle it since it is on my home computer on a cable line. It is more just up there as an example, the purpose is more to provide the means for other people to make their servers 128 player compatible.

Ohhhhh.. yay! Get TG hooked up with some 128 player goodness! :)

How do squads work with this many people? Have you figured out how to allow more than 9 squads?

No I have not figured out that yet, I have not looked at it at all. Once, or if, the 128 player servers get at all popular I will work on that.

Hey guys,
I see that Twitchy has become an inactive user, and the link he gave us to download that program, doesn't seem to work anymore. Do you know where I can find a copy of his program?

sorry to troll, but can anyone say half-decade revive?:awes:awes:awes


On topic though, I'm pretty sure someone has tried recently to get over 64 players and the 65th player would keep getting kicked, I cant say for sure though.

Project Reality is working on a larger server size. Of course, that doesnt answer the question of who has the files.

No... sadly it doesn't. I'm aware that PR is working on something big, but still there is a lot of time to wait until they will release anything related to that.
I am curious to see how this guy made it, and how stable is it.

The PR 128 man server has been up for at least a month now if not more and is continuing to do so, so its not like you cant try it right now. There are also tests on the same server with 250 people.

Still no new news on this subject?

Nope, it seems to be dead.

Nope, no revive; it's not gonna bring in 3 million people. Not with the outdated engine and gameplay and STILL random deviation.

New players are not gonna enjoy downloading a 2 GB patch, then another 5 to 9 GB of mods for a 6 years old game; don't be naive.

Casuals or hardcore, BF2 has all th eplayers it's ever gonna get. Vanilla is unrelenting to new players and to some old players too, your average Joe is not following every mod news out there.

Re: BF2 with more than 64 players! (Test server up)

I was playing vanilla BF2 the other day and came across a 128 slot server. My friend, my brother and I joined and it was actually 128 people. I was pretty surprised. The server was based somewhere in Europe so our pings were 180+ but it was still fairly smooth and enough to get kills and have fun. The only problem I noticed was that sometimes team mates wouldn't have their names in blue over their head so on certain maps (like PLA vs MEC) it was somewhat annoying to tell the difference between team mates and enemies. On MEC vs US it was much easier.

Not sure if anyone else has played on that server, but I can say for sure it was up, working, FULL, and it wasn't Project Reality

I have played and the same happened to me, all the players that got past 64 would have no name on their heads xD
