When I'm around games rarely take that long to start because i step up and command. If more did this games would start faster

You can still change the domain name and got a redirection from www.freeallegiance.org ---> new domain You will lsot nothing

Another problem is we have some newb who connect from 12 : 00 to 17 : 00 in european time, and they always are alone, so they cant play against someone and dont stay

Maybe should explain in a message in Ascs when they have to connect with their time zone. the afternoon, or every 2 hours for concentrate player at the same moment

Yet you assume that nothing is wrong.

Even with a screwed up controller, I can whore you into the stone age but that doesn't mean that the problem isn't there.

It's that mentality that is keeping bugs from being fixed in this game.

I wouldn't know since I've never used a joystick, but plenty of people since this game's inception have been excellent whores while using a joystick. And this game has been out for 12 years now so if you don't have a functional joystick that was released during that time frame, well, I guess that's just bad luck on your part.

I started playing using my joystick cause you know, it's a joystick. Fun stuff. But like I said, you just can't aim good enough with them. Least I never could. Maybe I just didn't understand some special setting. Cause with the mouse you can 'glide' the crosshairs with different speeds, while the joystick seemed to only register on and off. I don't remember, I should try it again sometime.

Go complain to the dev team then. If you can really whore me into the stone age, what's the problem son?

I could whore you into the stone age with a celery stick poking out of an apple but that doesn't mean the bug doesn't exist.

I don't think this is a problem with the joysticks at all. I believe it's a flaw in the code that presents itself most when using a joystick tracking a lead indicator. Timestep....delta time....frame update rate....buffer problem?

If I remember correctly there's a joystick setting for linear and quadratic joystick acceleration that needed to be set correctly, perhaps this is the source of most people's issues with the joystick?

I did not read your reddit stuff so I'm not commenting on whatever you said there directly by the by

The linear / Quadratic rate isn't the problem. Using either method yields an oversensitive controller.

They're just ticked off that people are putting negative posts on a website where they're trying to promote a broken / dead game.
