about taking the CoD2-DVD (or -CDs whatever you have wasted your money for)
and put it into the trash can?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=234390715-07062006><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Sorry,
but will it ever run smooth? Our forum is full of questions - iwd sum name
mismatch, PB GUIDs, udpdating problems with PB for servers and for clients (ever
tried the ingame update option? Doesnīt seem to work very well), DirectX
9-problems, connection problems and so on... What about the last errors in
Q3-Engine, will this be handled, too? I donīt believe that CoD2 is secure
til a test has proven it, I wish I had the knowledge to test it... (And
what about CoD and UO, there are running servers, too, and there are also bad
bugs, will it be a unrealistic dream to get an update for this? Oh, yes, I think
so, īcos you canīt make money anymore with this games...)</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

size=2>MapPacks, nice thing, we use one, too - ours has 85MB - our server
has a lot of visitors and we pay the traffic by ourselves - and we have no
unlimited traffic. We are thinking about to close our server or secure it
with a password, as we donīt see any sense in this all - if you change
the server you have to download maps you still have downloaded several times, as
everyone seems to use an own MapPack and own MODs... And admins who save the
maps into main-folder are helping very well to create the iwd sum name mismatch
error, really nice thing... This canīt be the right way...</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=234390715-07062006><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>If you
make an update of the MapPack, then a lot of people have to download it - and
again the traffic goes up... </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=234390715-07062006><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Just a
question: </FONT></SPAN><SPAN class=234390715-07062006><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>CoD - pk3 sum name mismatch - isnīt it the same error like
in CoD2 iwd sum name mismatch? </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=234390715-07062006><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Why
didnīt they think for it while programming CoD2? They fixed it in CoD, so why
they canīt do now? There were able toe recreate the mistake, so they should be
able to patch it again... </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=234390715-07062006><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>We
have tried to get contact to AV as we didnīt get any answer in the
IW-Nations-Forum - AV answered by asking for my phone number and thatīs it -
they tried to call me onle ONE time (and they knew I am not at home when they
called) no more calls, no mail, no letter - nothing then silence since two
months after receiving our letter - AV and IW seem to have no interest in
helping their CUSTOMERS, so why should we do more and more work if we can expect
nothing then only more problems we have to deal alone with? </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

thought...<BR><BR>Since the admins handle most of the costs of bandwidth, how
about admin's creating a consensus driven map pack. Pick a target size,
and put enough maps in it to satisfy that volume. Update it based on
interest with a new version (this satisfies those who's fav's aren't picked
1st). Maybe do a tag in the server's id line, ala mohaa and
ckr1.1?<BR><BR>Dave<BR><BR><BR><B><I>Quint van Drosthagen
