Does skirmish mode work?

On the official servers, beacons are disabled until 24 players are in the match.

The nostalgia is what brought me to Ren-X but the community is what kept me around. Thank you to all who have stuck around and continued to play the game!

I'll make some adjustments tonight. Let me know if you still can't connect tomorrow

I appreciate the kind words from @MintLemonade but nobody is perfect and I used to have quite the toxic side as well in the community. FPI (the artist formerly known as EKT) and I have definitely had a rough patch in the past and most of it was my fault unfortunately. Renegade-X has a very unique community and I had found that investing too much time had caused me to get very burnt out and get frustrated at things that I really should not have been. I was originally of the opinion that team switching should be allowed so that friends can play together but I've now been swayed and agree that even just a small group of veteran players can dictate the entire outcome of a game. I understand what FPI is trying to accomplish and I can see why it has caused a rift in the community. Even with disabling team switching though, there are clever ways to still manage to end up on the same team and even without players switching, teams can end up lopsided. I don't really have any suggestions for how to fix the team stacking issue but if I could offer one piece of advice it would be this: If you're getting burnt out and frustrated with Renegade-X, take a bit of time off and come back with a fresh outlook. It really can make a big difference. PS: I'd also like to formally apologize to @Goku , @Skeeze , @ObeliskTheTormentor and many others from EKT/TmX back in the day. I was very burnt out and it had a toxic effect on the community. I wish you all the best of luck!

I added two European mirrors. One in Amsterdam and one in Frankfurt. Your launcher likely connected to one of the new mirrors.

There already is a solution, it just needs to be implemented.

I'll probably start working on it on lunch break but the part that's gonna take the longest is updating windoze server so that I can install visual c++ 2015 for Agent's bot.

My OVH server is deployed so now I just need to configure it. Hopefully I have time tonight but I might not.

It's not too late because the attacks do not get close to saturating the NIC interface on the server. The attacks are easily filtered through targeted iptables rules. This is how I blocked them in the fall and it works very well. No need to reinvent the wheel here, folks. I'm just waiting for my OVH box to get set up and well be up and running.

Wouldn't work. Some ISPs have insanely short DHCP leases *Looks at all those weird German DSL providers using PPPoE

I just through it together quick to do a packet limit parameter, figured out about how much runs in a minute. I think when I calculated I had like 1-3 months to clear old pcaps. I think I only had 100GB free at the time. So its a great quick solution to get the pcaps, just check disk space every month or two heh I just checked my old logs, and for 3 days ish work of pcaps it was 6GB The only problem with that is if we run the dump every X seconds with the duration parameter specified in total packets, there's a high probability that we'll either miss some packets or run overlapping dumps. How did you work around this?

its impossible, and knowing who it is isn't going to solve anything. all of you need to know is that the guy's only goal in mind is to watch people suffer and rage, and the best thing we can we can do to make him feel stupid for wasting money is to wait patiently until the server owners find a solution. talking smack about him on the forums is exactly what he hoped to see, and is exactly why he's willing to pay money for ddos. smartest thing to do is to talk about the matter rationally with realistic solutions in mind. if you don't have anything productive to say towards helping mitigate this issue, i'd highly recommend keeping any negative thoughts to yourself on this topic. Listen to Jeff. Don't feed the troll. I already have a solution, I just need to implement it. In the meantime just relax a bit and watch some TV or play overwatch with me

End of June \ Early July when I actually go on leave and having nothing by to do but use working on Ren as an excuse to ignore everything in my home town. And to visit me
