PR Technical Problems Thread

[snooggums]

I'm having trouble connecting to the TG Public server. I kept getting a message whenever I tried to connect saying I was kicked because of "the game, and admin because of excessive teamkilling or my a successful kick vote." That might not be the exact wording, but it's as close as I can get. I forgot to take a screenshot.

Anyway, what's the deal?

It is in the group of stickies at the top of the forum.

TacticalGamer has a Supporting Membership system, and the server is locked at 62 players. People who donate to TacticalGamer are Supporting Members, and get reserved slots on the server. When a SM joins the server, the person (non-SMs) who have been playing the longest are kicked to make room for them.

My suggestion to you is to click the server, go to 'Server Info' and hit 'Auto Deploy'. Type in '62'. As soon as a slot opens up (someone leaves, for example) it will deploy you into the game. This should only take about 5 minutes, typically.

Ok, thanks a lot.

THATS IT !!?? LooooooooL

Ok, my mike doesn't seem to register on the server
It works int he audio section during test
It works in otehr programs like skype and it shows up as working in the volume indicator, but when I hit v ingame nothing happens
Got ideas?

[chrisweb89]

Well unless there was a commander when you went to hit v and you left all your controls as default no one is going to here you. Remember B is default squad chat and V is for commander. Hope that helps but if not it may be good to unplug your mic once you are ingame and plug it back in, thats what I have to do.

[ankyle62]

if i join the server mid game it takes awhile for my mic to start working, give it time and see if it works.

[TomKing]

Mike isn't working?
Mike needs to get a job.

Also, is your mic a USB? I have trouble with those when I switch between speakers and headphones.

[Druulen]

Im having a problem with my ping beeing higher than usual. Its usually around 120-130 but lately its been like 160-170. This causes some lag which is annoying.
Ive pinged another server that is in the same area as TG and that gave me around 120-130 ms. Just checking if there is something that can be done on the serverside.

[ankyle62]

does anyone else have that issue of having to wait for awhile to hear or talk on the mic if you join mid game? it did it on my laptop and does it on my new computer.

i get tired of typing "mic takes a few minutes to warm up, im on mumble too"

[Wicks]

Yup the mic delay thing has started happening to me now, been happening for about a month. No idea why, just started happening out of the blue. Doing the mute/unmute thing in the manage tab ingame doesn't seem to make a difference. Very confusing when it first happenend. Join game, make squad, squad fills up, I/m assigning kits and asking the chaps questions etc, silence. Slowly everyone starts leaving. Squad fills up again, repeat. Dawns on me that no one can hear me, several minutes later.

If it happens the mic seems to kick in about 1 minute after round starts, if anyone has a clue whats causing it please let me know. Only thing I installed at the same time it began occurring was Firefox, was using IE8 before. Fail to see the connection but there you go.

[Axis_Sniper]

Have you tried using the proper anti-freeze on your mics? When it gets cold your mics need a bit of time to warm up.

I have a problem with the 0.9 at least Silent Eagle and Dragon Fly maps won´t work, as soon as the map loads the game CDT´s. I tried to reinstall PR but it didn`t help. Anyone have the same problem or know how to fix it?
