Demotion
« on: November 30, 2010, 04:00:31 PM »
Hello everyone, I like to put it to you all and relic, that since the big change in the way this great game more than a year and a half ago now when when had the new rocket launcher and mortar sounds for the game and the way the ranking was changed we all were reverted back to level 7.
Is there any way of telling how many points you need to mass up before you get another promo ?
And why is that you need to play umpteen million games to get a promotion, Yet 2 or 3 losses and your decreased or demoted ?
I for one like to play against the AI with my buddies and more oftern than not we do win most games. However we do lose say 2% of games and thats ok.
But what really pisses me off is when your about to win and the game locks up or a mate crashes out before you have yet to fire a single round  and you get demotion..

Now dont get me wronge here cheif but thats ok for humans v humans matches but to be constantly put down by lock ups of pcs which have all got the specs and much more to run this game is killing it for us.
We as a collective are seriously considering cutting your game out and or getting around Relics server for good.

The AI  do not play the same after demotion and its only takeing a few shot by them to kill your men even though the AI  is well out numbered.

I'd prefer not to do the above but after a member of Relics team came into the lobby way back then to reassure ppl about the changes and to give it time to settle i still see no improvment.
Its the being punished for lockups or game frezes thats pissing me off coupled with the demotion for it.
Please can anyone tell me if this can be avoided.
Relic must see from there stats that we aint cheating.. and that this is only for games againts AI'S ONLY players...

Have now got second pc and this dose not support Relic server in any way.. or EF mod. Just plain and simple coh. This cuts out the demotions... but stops us from joing up in force for fun..

@Blazer
Did you use a translation tool for the text above? You can post in your  language if you like, along with the translation if you like.

I created a new thread for your topic, looked like you were diverting the other thread.

Btw, how Relic has something to do with us?

Sorry for the miss placed post Blackbishop. Thanks for redirecting it.
Your second comment to my post isn't realy of any help.
Translation is in English my good fellow. Language is plain and simple.
Relic has'nt anything to do with you, but someone might be able from plain and simple english what we here on planet earth called reading between the lines.

This might sounds funny but I remember your post being different... I'm sorry i don't know what I read or why i thought so about your post(Note to myself: read three times what you post if you're at the office).

I don't know how many victures you need to being promoted but...

Is this usually happens when you played vCoH or just with EF?

Do you have a warnings.log file of one of those matches?

In which settings do you and your friends have EF?

Thanks Blackbishop, all settings on all pcs while on line are set to low for all players.
Lockups & ppl disconnecting no warning given other than Lag.. Smaller maps have been played with less detail on and still it continues, on vCOH & EF.

Some players do get error unable to save to temporary folder, or their isn't one. Or temporary folder cannot be found.
When game freezes locks up sound just keeps repeating it's self.

I think you can fix the temp folder error doing this:

1)Go to Start Menu->Run->(or windows key + R)->temp
2)Delete all what you can.
3)Go to Start Menu->Run->(or windows key + R)->%temp%
4)Delete all what you can.
If you get the error again, try those steps again.

User ImperialKaskins found that.

If you cannot delete some files, you can use unlocker to see what process is keeping them away and to decide if unlock & delete or not.

Also you can try to increase the Virtual Memory of your OS if your hard disk has some free space to spare.

Btw, the next time your match crashes, please upload the *.dmp (dump) file that is created on %temp% folder and your warnings.log file. Remember that old warnings.log are overwritten when starting any new RelicCoH instance.
