DoD games every thursday 8.30 to 10 pm.

[Maljonic]

says it's going to take 8 hrs so I'll have to start it tomorrow morning

 

[throdgrain]

ISDN I take it ? Oh how I remember them days
I did the whole lot yesterday at 58kbs in under an hour *smug*

 

[Daffeh]

its makes me think what we are in fact paying for...


the thousands of free servers get updated instantly

yet a service which is paid for is still running the old version



if it was a tiny mod i could understand, but DoD is getting as popular as CS

no is it fuck, it's ADSL; think I just tried at the wrong time

edit:downloading again now, says 1 hour 30 minutes; that's better

 

[throdgrain]

My cd rw has gone up the wall. My son wanted dod really badly, in the end we put his pc onto my dsl connection and downloaded it like that. 50 minutes instead of 8 hours or something

 

[Maljonic]

I've got it now. I think it looks pretty good, on the maps I've seen so far the visibility looks somewhat better. Even with the brightness turned all the way up it seemed dark before.

 

[Summo]

I do hope the GAME servers are updated before Thursday. :/

 

[throdgrain]

Updated now m8, get on there on thursday !

 

[Summo]

You truly are the King of Kings.

I'll be there!

 

[mank!]

*bump*

BE THERE OR BE VIOLENTLY ANALLY VIOLATED BY A LARGE CONVINCT CALLED DEREK

 

[throdgrain]

Wow ive managed to enter tomorrows game, and all future games into the Game.net diary. I expect Ill have to hold back the floods of players into the server now !

Or something ...

 

[Debaser]

There's a Game.net diary!?

it's on the weekly newsletter; you know, that thing you instantly delete because it looks like junk mail?

 

[mandrill]

I'll be there thursday. c u then

 

[djpringle]

Just a quicky, is it playable on a modem? Haven't got ISDN yet and want to know if it's worth downloading at work...

 

[Gumbo]

Yeah it should be ok, not ideal, but plenty playable. I find the ping figures in the scoreboard of DoD always look a bit wacky, sometimes it'll say that you're pinging 270, especially on the bigger servers, but it plays absolutely fine.

I suppose this might be to do with half life's handling of the ping port, and that handling being coded for less players originally? have no idea really.

Anyway rambling on a bit. Give it a shot and see, but I reckon you'll do ok.

 

[Debaser]

The present issue of Pc Zone have Dod V.1 on the cover dvd, if you'd prefer to buy it then download it.

 

[djpringle]

Cheers for that I'm downloading as I type (2 hours to go) so I'll be playing in a few weeks.

 

[throdgrain]

Yep I know people who play on a modem, and it works ok

 

[Debaser]

If the odd person showed up after 9pm, sorry... 2 of us that were there decided to go play TFC instead since it was a bit dead and all. Oh well

If a load got on the server after 9 and played the best games of DoD ever seen, great, but...





...oh well sorry I missed it.

 

[CptDoom]

me wanna play

had a few goes on 1.0 and im utterly impressed, it looks pretty cack but it feels nice

 

[old.RedVenom]

Was busy playing 1942 - on my own server. Haw haw haw. Next week....

 

[throdgrain]

Hmm, apologies folks, I utterley forgot the days yesterday
Though I confess its all very well people posting on here whinging that nothing happens and saying yeah Ill turn up, then when push comes to shove we end up with 5 people on the server, 4 of them with KEA after their names ...
it's your servers too chaps, turn up if you want a game

 

[DarkPenfold]

Has the server's IP changed? The past two weeks, I've tried to join the server for the Thursday game but my server browser (HLSW) has reported IP 213.221174.102:27015 as "Timed out".

 

[Gumbo]

You were logged in, weren't you?

 

[throdgrain]

Saw you 2 on there tonight , so I assume all is sorted.
Sorry I was so brief in my visit, the kids blew up their pc and there was all sorts of agro in my house :/

[old.RedVenom]

Puts you about half hour from me. Hmm hmm.
