After about 50 attempts, I finally managed to log in last night. My game crashed and I was stuck at the title screen again, unable to access anything.

I mentioned earlier in the thread that I'll no longer be running the GAF_Asia server until these issues are fixed, but I've changed my mind. I'm going to give Warhawk a rest until these issues are fixed. My daytimes are stressful enough, without having to pull my hair out in the evenings, trying to play this game. This shit is making Battlefield 2 look polished.

Hopefully, a patch will be out ASAP and I'll get the 32 player Asian server up again for GAFfers in this region.

i don't know where the timeouts happen for you guys as i have no problems but if its during the accept/decline of the TOS or whatever its called.

make sure when it says downloading user agreement, that when its done and the screen goes blank, wait for the agreement to show up before you click accept. I kept pressing accept before it would show up and i couldn't log in but then i waited and i finally got in.

So basically none of the issues from the beta have been fixed.

Stats are fucked. No party system. No in-game messaging. Server crashes. System freezes. It's online ONLY. And it's $40.

Sounds like a good deal.

thank god the game is fun when it works

Some people are saying that fully powering down (flip the switch on the back) your PS3 will fix the issue. I haven't tried it yet.

I was having some bizarre visual glitches for like 3 games off and on. It would look like some weird night-time acid trip, with sound effects going haywire, and the trees were all white.

It was annoying and cost me a few deaths.

I got the net timeouts too. First, I got booted off the server to update the FW to 1.92. After that, I got the network timeouts. I then restarted the PS3 like others said, and it worked. No hard reset, just power down and up with the controller. Works perfectly now, and no more odd game crashes...yet. Hope it helps others. PEACE.

Oh my gawd - what a great Warhawk experience that was. :D

Favorite moment:

Taking out 2 guys with grenades in an attempt to save the zone, only to get sniped in the back and fall onto the flag base. :lol


Okay, here is something I learned tonight that might save you against a tank.

Ride the tank like a mofo. What I mean is, jump on the sucker and keep shooting at it while standing on the turret and repeat. Think flies on shit. I hope I can get like 20 guys to swarm a tank and just blow it to bits with their assault rifles.

Some things I'd like to see added:
- Ability for passengers to parachute out of the warhawk. I don't know how many times someone has picked me up and flown around for 20 minutes while I sat helplessly in the backseat.

- Shotgun! Give me a shotgun. There is no real close range weapon in the game (apart from the flamethrower).

I had to sign in and out a few times earlier after dling the new update.


It's working now, although I still hear a lot of jumbled mess on my head set...is that because I'm NAT 2?

and proceeded to have no mercy.

Sorry for the TK Sea Manky that one time.

I dunno, I haven't had freezes, maybe they are caused by people's bad connections (dropping packets, game crashes?). Try to stick with the official servers. To get in them you usually have to join RIGHT at the beginning of a new match or just be lucky.

NAT 2 means everything is ok on your end.

NAT 1 = Direct connection to internet. No router/firewall involved in connection.
NAT 2 = Connection to internet via router with all necessary ports opened.
NAT 3 = Necessary ports closed.

I absolutely love it when I'm playing on a server where everyone acts like a team.
Our team on Eucadia took the nearest base next to the enemy's base, and setup camp there. 3 tanks and two warhawks went ahead to clear a path on the bridge leading to the enemy's flag. 2 jeeps head for the flag, and the first one gets destroyed. I come in with the 2nd jeep and powerslide 180 degrees over the person guarding the flag, and grab it. I hope back onto my jeep and starting getting the hell out of there. AA turrents start firing at me, and not a second later, it gets taken out by the nearest tank. Two of our team's warhawk starts escorting me back to the base, destroying turrents and enemy vehicles. It was great. :D

As for the "connection timeout" error after 1.92, my solution is to quit the game, go to your "network setup", run the "network test", then go back to the game. It worked for me twice after I started to keep getting "connection timeout" errors.

Wheeeee!

Had some great matches with a great team on Click's server. Getting close to bedtime, so I'll set up GAF_EST(#1) in a bit.

Edit: Ok, server's up. Get it while it's hot.

I think the guys are Incognito are having a hard time nailing down what the problem is, because the game freezing and crashes seem to be completely random. I for one haven't crashed once since I bought it on release night.

I am having the problem with stats like everyone else though...hopefully they nail down the issue soon.

FU SONY network error again and again ? even after the hard shutdown of both ps3 and router i'm tempted to sell the game if it weren't so goo d


e dit.....after 5 restarts it seems to be working ,,,,,but now it hasnt updated the stats fromthe last 6 hour ass kicking session i had 3 days ago .........so the FU still applies

how can they stilll not have their shit together..... did they improve the game in any way after the beta? it seems they didn't :(

Freezing seems to be the same problem it was in the beta, Incog's. netcode. They said thats what was causing it in the beta and a couple of days ago when I was hosting, several people posted they froze at the same time I saw around 6 people get disconnected from the server. The simultaneous freeze seems to me like in game freezing is sometimes caused when the client is unable to communicate with the host.

Parachuting would allow for freefalls so you don't have to suicide and take a point hit.

People suggested this in the beta, but Incog. (iirc) threw out the idea because they couldn't implement it before the games release.

Yea I learned to do something similar to that. Ride the tank until the guy gets fed up cause he can't hit you, then he'll likely exit the tank to hit you thats when you enter the tank and turn the odds around.

parachuting would change the game dynamics a LOT. People would just load up on flame throwers/rocket launchers, get parachuted into a base to take out turrets quickly while the Warhawk hovers next to them firing other things. The way things are now is great, you can add a guy in your warhawk transport to cap and navigate, that's it.

Great games on Click's server. Whoo boy 32 players is crowded. Last game I had an amazing sniping round in the beginning. Took out about 11 guys before I got bored and decided to go for the flag. This was all in the first five minutes too:D 32 players is intense though, and it is basically impossible to get to their base, get their flag and make it out back alive. Only way is to have half the team swarm their base at the same time but teamwork is a no no for now when playing with strangers. Can't wait till clan battles, then some real teamwork games will come:D

So what the fuck constitutes a "ranked" game, exactly? I've been playing all evening and it's telling me I have zero stats because I have yet to play a ranked game.

I don't really care about stats, but does anyone know what I'm doing wrong here? (Sorry if this has already been covered but this thread is a little long... if anyone has the answer, a thousand thanks.)

Also, I'm totally up for joining a GAF guild if there's any room and anyone will have me. My PSN ID is Chemoglobin. Thanks in advance.

Wow, what the hell? Oh well, I guess... there's no way they can let this go for long, thankfully it's not an isolated incident then.

I swear, though, I have never struggled this hard with a game before. Network timeouts and server fulls left and damn right.

not really much different from just landing your hawk near there base and doing the same thing?

IMO this game really needs parachutes!!!!!!I would like to have the option to abandon ship if a rocket is coming for me...

its is really really different. For one, you landing the warhawk has a high chance of getting destroyed by rocket launchers/turrets before you can fully land. Also you can only land on flat ground, so certain places won't work. Parachuting you not only have your weapons, you also have another player flying around in a warhawk to protect you. You can land anywhere you want, and you can even take out a knife and go stealth. This would make any warhawks that fly by even more deadly as you never know what package they might leave behind :p

Mine has done that three times out of four tonight, the fourth time being a successfully launched Capture the Flag game where I was the only person there and no one else ever showed up.

I'm about to say fuck this and just go to bed... the few times I've gotten it to work today, the game has been excellent, but this is pretty much unplayable thanks to all of these issues. What the hell. :/
