Connecting Issues...

**Agent** · 10-26-06, 01:05 PM

For some reason whenever I try to connect to the TTP 2142 server it says "error" and takes me back to the menu screen. Last night I was able to play on the server once but after that it stopped working.. I checked my filters and everything and even tried to toggle some of them off and what not and still, "error". WTf to i DO

? :x :x :x

it only does that to me when it is FULL.

try looking at the server information, and see if we are actually full.

if it says 60 players are on, we are full, since we have 4 reserved slots.

I am 99% sure this is your problem, which then means that you have wasted some time of mine, given that you should be able to clearly see that the server is FULL when you are trying to connect to it.

Well bigdog, I thank you for giving some of your tme in helping me. SInce I had no clue that there were 4 reserved slots on a brand spanking new server, and that I was connecting at 60/64 players, so your insight as enlightened me to the fact that there is no problem, and that it is just reserved slots. I had no idea there were 4 reserved slots, so your reply was not in veign and I am not an idiot.

Such lies...

it says very clearly in the server information when browsing for servers in BF2142 that there are 60 slots and (4) reserve slots.

something like that. 60 + (4) = 64, however, 60/60 (4) = full server.

works the same way as BF2 does.....and I know you play BF2, so .........shhh.

Also make sure when you are coping and pasting the IP address only not the port #. I made that mistake myself.

Well im searching for the server. Found it. says like 40 of 64 and im getting that error problem too...

**sjt17** · 10-29-06, 02:27 PM

The error, means the server is full.......

Unfortunately we have no reserve slots available....so big, and digital and all the admins have tro deal with this as well, until the correct version of our admin mod is produced....

If it say's error - just keep tryin'

Does the server change the max number of people when it's on a titan map, cause sometimes I get the 'error' thing when it says there is only 40 something people in the server.

To answer your question, yes, the number of players on the titan map are required to be lower because of the issues associated with asking computers to handle so many things moving at once.

These issues are neither because of TTP nor the client side computer, they are simply the by product of the games tolerances.

So when you see 40, 48 people on the server, you can bet its full, even if its says something like 40/60. You'll get the error message, but in this game that really means "Server Full". Another screw up by EA if you know what I mean.

Just keep trying to get in and eventually it'll happen. I usually spend no more than a few minutes clicking before it lets me in. That just comes with the territory when you have an oustanding server that everyone wants to play on.
