Hi,

I think some of us have lost money as well - related to the database being down? I had around 40000.

thanks

Don't know if it is related but the Ville stats used to show my location as Hamilton but is now showing my location as Palmerston North which is 400km away. Spotted a fellow NZ regular on IX whose ping was around 185 while mine was 225 - 230 so it can't be the Ville servers which my isp still claims...

I know it's a main gateway out of NZ so I thought maybe 7 and 8 are just higher as they might be doing the traffic prioritising for the multiple isp traffic going through them. I'll try and find out. Is it normal for hops on the same network to have such different ms/latency? I'd switch isp but I ha...

Hi Dog, Have current tracert (and pathping) but unfortunately I don't have any to compare to from when it was normal/lower. Current tracert to IX: Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601] Copyright (c) 2009 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. C:\tracert 66.240.202.11 Tracing route to fc720211.as...

Hi Dog, fellow left4dod'rs, forum members and admins, Has anyone else been having problems with higher ping/latency for the last few months? I'm in NZ and it has permanently gone up by 50 - 70 ms on both servers. I used to have a ping of 150 - 175 on IX (66.240.202.11) and a ping of 190 - 220 on IV ...

Hi, I agree about the need for a few more health drops ... Players didn't seem as interested in capping ... maybe because it gets too hard if you win too often and without the health drops you don't last long ... Another flag would be alright but maybe it could be allies to start with and the zombie...

Hi, Just been playing and trying to figure out what we have to do? Are we supposed to cap still? ... is the goal still to win a round? I like the way at least one of us has to be on the flag so the flag doesn't reset ... players can keep the cap going while others are coming back ... The back flag o...

I did notice that IX 66.240.202.11:27026 briefly - just the same server with a different port number?

Maybe Dog could use Rico's laugh and have it randomly play when the grey dude or one of his minions kills you? ... having a zombie laugh at you would really add insult to injury ... lol

Hi, I think points are recorded on both servers but IV doesn't record kills and other stats ... been like that for ages - it doesn't affect gameplay. I sometimes get a graphics driver crash and it kicks me out to the desktop. I can't switch back into the game so I have to kill the exe and then resta...

Hi, After reading this post did a search on how to turn off 'film grain' and got this from steam forum: It worked for me - no more purple screen. update - I think it's been fixed anyway ... Cheers pravda Disable Film Grain Effect for Day of Defeat: Source Open Steam Go to the Library Right-click on ...

Hey Dog (and fellow Left4DoD players), Was playing the Hallowe'en mode on IV and thought it was great. Quite like the darker setting and being chased through the corn on Farmers was awesome. Was good playing Anvil again and haven't seen Aura yet. Will the maps you added stay around after 1 November?...

I've been on Kalt before, I think it's usually with a fairly full server like on a weekend, and it will get laggy and then crash and give the auto-disconnect message but haven't noticed if it's Kalt on both servers. Was thinking about it and like you said, I think it is always at the end of the map ...

Hi fellow left4dod'rs,

Since the servers have been down I've had to resort to watching left4dod clips on youtube and pretending I'm playing just to get a partial fix ...

Yeah I tried server 66.240.202.11 today and it seems normal on all its maps so stayed on that whereas 66.238.135.142 (is that iv?) has the 'instant deaths and stronger zombies' on all its maps.

Hey Dog, I think it was after one of the servers was down for a day or so, a few weeks ago, that I noticed the 'instant/quick deaths' or that zombies were quite a bit stronger and more accurate. It seems like a random thing, because it doesn't happen every time they attack you. Noticed in some of th...
