Greetings, for those thinking of downloading "Red Alert: A Path Beyond" which is a standalone mod based on the Command & Conquer Renegade engine.
While it is a nice game/mod it is unfortunately subject of several team members who are abusive internet bullies.
I created a thread on the "official A Path Beyond forums" regarding my perceived lack of server choices, a post that was written in a calm and civilized manner.
Immediately i was attacked not only by staff/moderators of the official server but "A Path Beyond" staff as well. I was provoked into retaliation as I found the attacks unfair and unjustified. I may have said a few things in the heat of the moment, but nothing to warrant the level of abuse that was to come.
I ended up getting 4 warnings, 2 for the same posts within just 1 minute without me even having time to make any other reply, and a third time for something that did not even relate to the thread in question at all, and then lastly a 4th time without even having said a word since the last one. On top of that i have been called faggot, asshole in public by forum the moderators.
This is something i just find totally unacceptable, not to mention immature to resort to petty name calling. Especially for a team of a respectable standalone mod such as this that even has the attention of EA.
I'm not telling you people what to do, I'm giving you something to consider before you either support "Red Alert: A Path Beyond" or consider lending the team behind it your talents.
I just do not see why anyone else should have to risk being subject of the same abuse that i have.

I do agree they are immature, however, the reasonining behind the 'lack of servers' is because people aren't dedicated enough to host APB servers.
MP Gaming are hosting their server, they have a coder (Oxi) who has made several modifications to the regulator which makes it better than the actual FDS.
Another reason why there is only a few servers is the lack of regulators made for APB. Danpaul is porting versions of BrenBot to work with APB's FDS.
It's not like the FDS is closed to select people, you can download it from the site. So if you're complining about the 'lack of servers', you need to ask server hosters, not APB Staff.

No, the FDS they have on there page is the older FDS version. There is no public SSAPB, however it isn't too hard to make an FDS out of the client (although it is going to be prone to crashing as it has not got the "fixed" code that SSAPB has).
The guys lag issue is strange. He experiances lag all the time when the server has over 16 players. You could argue that it's something to do witht he client or some crappy server code if it happened now and then to all people. But it doesn't. It only happens to him, and it happens when there are more then 16 players constantly (but no one else).
You can only really conclude that there is an issue on his client.
Either he has a slow machine or conection, or perhaps he has a graphics card driver or card that is hated by scripts.dll.
Eitherway, I really don't think it is a server-side problem.
I think it's your total lack of being able to entertain the idea that the problem may lie at your end causing people to get frustrated and annoyed with you. Granted the client problem may be out of your controll, but I really don't think it's on the server...

We'll get to the bottom of this, rest will be assured!
What are your system specifications?
What kind of connection do you have? (DSL or Cable?)
Do you play any other online games?
If so, what size servers do you play in?
Last but not least, go to this website and complete the speed test. Afterwards, post your results in this topic.

You have nothing to worry about on the Reborn forums, if you are being harassed for no apparent reason; I will ban that user from the forum.
I'm not going to ban people for getting in arguments but I don't tolerate harassment. Most of our users are very friend though.

Alexraptor stop being a faggot and instead talk to me or the lead moderator next time. This is why somebody could be prompted to call you an asshole. You do this, instead of talking to somebody you should talk to.
The lag issues refer to his comments in http://www.apathbeyond.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=15973&st=0
Coolrock Warned on Today, 10:17 AM
Added to warn level I have no idea what the fuck your problem is, but I do know you're getting warned for it.
Raapnaap Warned on Today, 07:12 AM
Added to warn level Endless omplaining about the server, and acting like an asshole.
drunkill Warned on Yesterday, 09:53 PM
Added to warn level Same as above (or below?) being an asshat.
Also you were called a faggot for the following--

Ill complain if i want to, i don't give a rats ass for the way you see who has rights and who does not. Don't like to hear my complaints about available servers? Tough, live with it, it comes with the job of creating a game, free or commercial.

If you can't handle being called an "asshole" or a "faggot", you may want to serriously reconsider being on the internet.

Oh noes a warning! oh noes more attacks! my life is over! boohoooo must run off and cry to my mom and tell her how mean you are.

I guess your post wasn't sarcastic, based on the fact you DID run off to go cry and tell people how mean we are. Rolleyes indeed.
Also speaking of abuse, Alexraptor clearly missed the reign of Aircraftkiller, didn't he?

Funny thing is, every time people post BS like this and claim to be calm and respectful, the logs always show otherwise. Why is that?
