Welcome back to the community

Welcome to the communtiy

I was bored so I decided to take a stab at this. I basically went with something simple and clean. If you like it use it, if not no biggie.

Hi Junk welcome back.

Nice work

If you are already a member is that guaranteed?

Undecided, no option for that LOL

Thats what the UFGL is for

My question is with the release of the game slated for April 19th, im sure the game is already in production by March. What do they really plan on fixing in time to get the game released on time if there are any issues.

me too i cant even open a thread without that happening

congrats

It says I can not make that change because my username allready exists

I can't believe this thread hasn't been started yet, or maybe I missed it. Congratulations guys on winning your first tac map. There is no feeling greater then winning a tac map as it tests your clan from the inside out. Good luck in the rest of 2011 and see you guys on Socom 4.

Is this same situation possible that have Urgent Fury Hosting?

This made me laugh

Well how did you make out?

Crusty I had it all spaced out but because I have to use a proxy at work to get to the site when I post it takes out all the spacing LOL

Ok here is where I learned about it from its explained in it's simplest form. You can also test your packets sent and recieved at pingtest.net MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) is basically the max amount of bytes allowed per packet that your router can handle. If it is set too high you will not be able to receive any information online through your connection. If it is set too low you will receive information online at a less than optimal rate. So basically: If your MTU is lower than the highest it can go, you will have a slower internet connection overall. I will explain it even simpler terms just to make sure this was not a waste of time on my part: You have 3 trains making trips from Boston to New York. Train 1 is loaded with so much stuff that it cannot hold any more. It tries to make the trip but cannot because its bogged down. (This is if you have too high MTU.) Train 2 has the most it can carry without bogging down and hindering the train, it goes the fastest it can and carries the most it can without slowing down. (This is optimal MTU setting.) Train 3 on the otherhand has been underloaded with the least amount of stuff, it makes the trips at the same speed as Train 2 but is carrying less goods and overall has a less efficient trip. (This is a low MTU setting. It will work, but you will get less information at the same speed as optimal. You do not want this, because overall it will slow you down. Just like how train 3 would have slowed down the effeciency of goods travelled, by carrying less goods per trip.) You want optimal. If you want optimal, determine through DOS on your computer, (to get into DOS go into start menu, run, then type command and hit enter) is by pinging www.google.com with this command: ping www.google.com -f -l XXXX XXXX = a number from 1000 to 1999 or higher. If you are too high, you will notice none of the "pings" are being received. This means your router cannot handle the packet size. So go lower, and keep going lower until you find the highest number that it will let you use. This is your optimal MTU. Right now I am trying to optimize my PS3 the same as you might have been, and this might be helpful to others. (I suggest you try 1492 as your first # to see if it is the optimal rate, in many cases it is.)

I had no problems last night. One thing I found very helpful about a week ago was checking my MTU setting on my routers page. It was set at 1500 which is industry standard. I googled the best results for my carrier which is comcast and found two that worked well for others. 1492 and 1478, I tested both on pingtes.net and found that 1492 was ideal. You may want to try this it may help.

Buy her a treadmill and tell her it was cheaper then a gym membership LOL

Ok so i was still messing around with trying to fix this connection thing with black ops and I think I got it figured out, for me at least. I went into my routers set up page and noticed two things. One my firmware was not the latest version and i checked my ip address on my ps3 and it changed somehow. So all the ports that i forwarded to the original ip address were not assigned to the right one. So i changed the ip address to the current one and everything is perfect now.

As of right now at 8:41am three of us can no join each other's party, what the hell did they do now

Here is an update i seen this morning from their communtiy manager: Hey PS3 community – We are aware that many online players have been experiencing connectivity issues since Tuesday’s patch. We have been working hard to track down the cause and fix them as quickly as we can. We’ve already updated the game with one “hot fix†since Tuesday’s release that has improved many of those connectivity problems, and we’ve got more coming, so stay tuned. Forum feedback has been tremendously helpful. In fact, we’ve been on the forums, monitoring feedback and in a number of cases, working with community members directly, so please keep the feedback coming. In the meantime, know that we’re committed to doing everything we can to support the best online experience, and we’re working quickly to resolve this issue. NOTE: There have been rumors suggesting that deleting your save data will improve network connectivity. Please do not delete your save data, as it will not have an effect on network connectivity. A hot fix was released at 9:30p PST last night, coinciding with the first instance of this rumor, and this hot fix is the reason many users have experienced improved connectivity. Thank you for your continued support and feedback. As always, we will keep you updated. Thanks -JD

Ok one where is the local search, two as soon as i downloaded the patch i switched from open to moderate and I am hardwired to the router.
