Joining BMS Server

[pirate]

Hi there,
me and a friend (sandman) have been trying to join the BMS server and play, for a few days now.

we can get connected to the comms server fine,
but when we go to campaign and connect, it hangs at the
receiving cloud map - please standby

this is where we drop of the comms window

has any body any ideas here?

thanks, Rob

Hi Rob,

I just connected so I know it's up and running. I think you need to finish the port forwarding portions to get connected. See the steps below and you'll get into the server. It's on day 13 and looks very lively right now!

*** IN GAME COMMS | Setup for MP ***

WARNING: IF YOU DO NOT ENTER THE BANDWIDTH SPECIFIED BY THE HOST YOU WILL CAUSE THE FLIGHT TO BE CORRUPT AND WASTE EVERYONES TIME.

If you are connecting to another person who is hosting then you are the client.

In the MP Comms box, name the Server Name, if we are Hosting, name it VETERANS-GAMING so you know who's entry/IP address it is.

You enter the Host's IP address in the Connect to IP Address Box

Everyone MUST enter a Connection Bandwidth, specified by the Host.

Finally CHECK the two IVC boxes (SET TO ON!)

MP FIX: Copy and paste,the following two variable(lines) to your Falcon BMS Config file located in your USER\Config folder and save the file. It can be opened with Wordpad or Notepad. These variables prevent BMS from creating Packet logs in your User\Logs folder that are genertated when MP'ing and can become extremely huge in disk space. They are not essential to the end-user.

MP HOTFIX STRINGS:
set g_bMessageStatistics 0
set g_bEnableRakNetPacketLogger 0
