anyone able to play any matches today?

i tried last night and ran into problems most people are, login issues and disconnected from server. also more frequent crashes to desktop.

any of this resorted yet? i'll be playing tonight, i want to shoot up my aurora with my pistol.

i did get into free flight for a few minutes. the sounds are different, and i quite like them. but not enough time to get a feel for changes in the flight model. it felt pretty good from what little i experienced.

anyway, anyone having better luck?

have not been able to stay on for more than a few minutes. and I have a crazy idea:

1. launch Co-op Vanduul Swarm
2. have two ships land on the platform
3. use the third ship as bait to draw the Vanduul close to the platform
4. Murder Vanduul with pistols(watched Timarian take out his Cutlass with 6 shots or so)

The people on the platform "should" be safe, cause they are not putting out any ship type signals for the Vanduul to lock onto, so they "should" be able to fire with impunity.

i like the way you think. when they unbork the server we're doing that.

You have to press the "Launch" button in the launcher at XX:29:45 / XX:59:45. With all the loading done you should be able to get about 25 minutes of flying(80% chance there isn't another error).

Does it reset on the half hour?

Exactly. With the method shown in my previous post I managed to get two hours out of it, even though I have 10 fps less now.

i normally don't trust gerbils, but i went ahead and tried this and i'll be damned it works. at 8 it crashed, and i was late loading into that time window and couldn't log in. but i got in a good 30 minutes of shooting all my ships up with my pistol. i should've known i could trust you as soon as i saw your name. thanks bud.

I got to play about 15 minutes, got to see my mustang and briefly fly it before losing connection again.

I got to play 10 minutes of TDM in my Mustang Delta.

Then it D/C'd me but hey, its the 2nd time I've been able to get into a game!

I haven't even been able to log into the hangar even once yet. I got the login failure every single time except for one, and that time it acted like it wanted to load for about 20-30 seconds, but then it failed again.
