Iron Front dedicated server statement

[nocturna]

I think you guys totally missed out on this part:



Just let them rest, if anyone wants to run a dedicated server, they must install the game and use the -server command, but with the game .exe. Works the same way. You can still have dedicated servers.

...seriously ? can you be any more clueless ? 100% of the servers that are up atm are using that method, go join one and see what happens.

why even bother posting when you dont even play the game ? because if you did you'd know its completely unplayable, unless you are the one hosting it.

nocturna, I understand that you're upset somewhat but:

1) Please stop bashing other people
2) Stop bashing the developers for something that was never guaranteed to be included

please fix this freaking mess, i seriously hope devs are not taking the weekend off, this isnt a free mod that you can treat as a hobby, people paid for a game they cant play, its your responsibility, hopefully asking you guys to do your job isnt asking too much, if you want the community to take you seriously you have to show dedication and passion for your game, that includes working during the weekend after releasing a broken mess.

There is no broken mess, the game works even without dedicated server files - which were never guaranteed to be included. Neither in the manual, nor on the box or packaging. Just because you and others think they must be included means not that the game is 'broken'. If you have a written agreement in which the Developer/Publisher guarantees you that working dedicated server files are included on release date - then you could demand they are working the weekend - but you simply do not have this.

So I suggest you calm down and stop putting this game down with your exaggerations. Thanks.

I managed to get into a multiplayer game and play for an hour without problems.

im calm except... it does NOT work, please go join a server and see the permanent red chain with people running without moving, how is that working exactly ?

if hosting a server for myself and play against bots is considered working then i'd like a refund.

I believe the red chain means that YOU are having issues.

Nocturna - My dedicated server Arma2Jedra was running 32 players earlier without a problem. Don't get me wrong, there are issues, but it is nowhere near as bad as you are making it out to be.

i think i tried that server and it was just as broken, also had a friend in that server that had the same problem, it must be my pc or my internet, i've been playing arma 2 for 3 years but somehow iron front is special, that must be it! right now im in some server and i see 2 enemy players standing in the same place for 10 minutes, shooting them nothing happens, thats considered "working" ? lol.

i see 13 servers and all are either empty or have 1 player, i wonder why.

That's odd, I see 33 servers with a total of 77 players. I'm starting to think this is an issue on your end. Have you allowed Iron Front through your Windows Firewall?

i have passworded servers filtered so thats why i dont see as many, but really, please tell me a server with lots of people that you find playable, i really cant find a single one, the only playable servers have 3/4 players which is a boring.

i've been playing arma 2 for 3 years on servers with 40-50 ppl so dont tell me this is "working", i dont see a single full server.
