Well it turns out that much of what we thought were bugs with the game were really just bad router settings. Ubi could have documented these better, but now that I have them everything runs smooth, consistently.
Specifically this means:
- Join anytime, no more waiting in lobby
- Play whatever custom maps we want (ahh yeah)
- No more kicking everyone out between rounds
- We can set everyone to max rank so all weapons are unlocked
- Basically minimal wait time and lots of playing
- Server stays full most of the time due to all of above
I'm happy to say problem solved, everything is working perfectly and we had many hours of great rounds tonight, playing lots of new maps including some great Vietnam-themed maps.
Some folks also discovered the benchmark tool tonight and found they were able to get even more mind-blowing visuals with a little of experimentation. It is the file named FC2BenchmarkTool.exe that will be in the \bin folder of whereever you installed your game. One thing I found is that on most maps your average FPS will be higher than what the test demo reports (it taxes your system harder). For example I average about 40 FPS in the tool but much higher on most maps.
