If you mean the line when zooming, I have no solution for that. I don't use a scope type crosshair with black borders, but I can see how it gets deformed. Otherwise, my 1280x1024 screen is perfectly filled at 800x600, with no crop lines.

... 3 days later...

I reinstalled AoS and the map still doesn´t work at 640x480.

When in 800x600, how do you get rid of the line?

So it doesn't crash always. Well, I don't think it's related to config, drivers... I'll try to disable mods . If that doesn´t work, I'll stick with 800x600 then.

BTW, I have an old rig: P4 3.0Ghz, 1GB RAM, HD3850 AGP.

Thx for your replys!

I don't crash, but I wish the map was smaller.

Oh, it only happens to 640x480.

The game crashes when I press "m" if playing at 640x480. Z3RG reported the same problem a month ago: http://ace-spades.com/forums/topic.php?id=3187#post-41193

I was really looking forward to make a switch from 800x600 to 640x480 because I get better framerates and the 2D layer looks more in place.

I jizzed

i agree, it's silly to have to reset the map and thus kick everyone just to reconnect to the master server

But the issue with the master server is still very serious.

Actually it may just be me getting that message because I alt+tab a lot

something else is going on then.

losing connection to the master server doesn't kick players with that "check for updates" message, it just means your server disappears from the server list and new players can't join while already connected players continue to play.

Izzy, your message about the communication and stuff is irrelevant. My server more than enough CPU a 100 megabit/second upstream line. The problem is just that my host occasionally disconnects for a few seconds every few hours, and this forces me to have to restart.

So yes, the feature that you request in that link is indeed what I also want. Thanks.

I'll make sure to have a feature like that, yes.

:)

that message is displayed to a player and he gets kicked when his client can't communicate with the server.

your server is probably bottlenecking somewhere, most likely insufficient bandwidth or CPU, or your routing to the master server is just bad, which is the case for one of my servers as well.

This is really annoying, can't the server at least make an attempt to reconnect to the master server?

a feature i have been on my knees, begging for:
http://ace-spades.com/forums/topic.php?id=1047

Ben doesn't seem to be concerned about this feature, so i've been constantly bugging mat to include it in his reverse-engineered server. he has been progressing with its development rather quickly, so i won't be surprised if he releases a working version with this feature sometime soon.

I've found that the issue is my dedicated server loses connection for a few seconds every few hours, and this causes the server to stop working and not be listed at all after this. This is really annoying, can't the server at least make an attempt to reconnect to the master server?

Umm the server doesn't seem to have any things in its console except everyone disconnecting. I can check next time and scroll up some to check for messages. I'm not sure what the "Disconnected from Master" issue is, except I know that my server randomly also stops being listed on the server list after a few hours too.

So the server says nothing?

Nothing like Disconnected from Master?

After a few hours, I'm kicked with a message that says something like, Server quit, also check for new updates.

When I look at my dedicated server, the program didn't crash or anything. This is annoying because then I have to manually restart the server every few hours and also the map is thus wiped.

Anyone have help?

Winterthim, thanks for trying, it crashed after three minutes. :(

I might give up on this game and come back in a few months when these obnoxious piece of shit bugs are gone.

If u are at WINDOWS 7
Run at Administrator,
Don't click to much times,
If NOT :
Try to open it with
AoS Lite Browser.

Yeah! I have this problem too. When i get in a server, I cannot choose any team and, after sometime it kicks me with the same error as you.

This post WAS about something else but now I've fixed that, I've joined a server and run into another problem.

Every 2 minutes or less or more it kicks me with the error:

Server disconnect or kick: Also check latest version

What is this? It keeps happening to nobody but me!

(v026)

I've discovered running the game in windows xp compatibility mode fixes this issue. Now I'm getting the grey screen bug though.

I'm getting this as well. I tried changing the resolution to native and changing my player name in the config file but that doesn't seem to help. I also tried launching the game in IE9 with no success.

When it seems like I get into a game, I get a a full black screen and just this error message: "client.exe has stopped working" Also, "could not connect to server" will sometimes pop up. I've never gotten grey sea, so is it just me?
