Repka No-Lag Test Server...?

There was obviously something amiss so I left an apology (to the effect of "sorry if I was not meant to be here or messed something up") and logged off. Further info would be appreciated.

This is a Steam bug. It shows incorrect number of players on passworded servers (maybe counting connect attempts as players). There where not more than 3-5 people flying on that server at the most. BigRepa tests custom skins influence on server stability on that server.

Repka #1 and #3 are more populated usually.

ah, thanks for the info! It makes me feel better to know I'm not missing out on massive multiplayer carnage But also worse that custom skins are causing issues with stability (longer before we get to use them properly)

as a rule custom skins stay off...its just another thing to eat up bandwidth and cause lag.

Do you know how to switch it off on server side?

I do understand you It is a good bug to promote servers We will sell password for $5 next time to fund a development of the correct squirrel FM as requested by community

Seriously speaking I think we can have such a carnage in 3-6 months either on Repka or Syndicate or some other server. Looking forward to it. This is only a beginning no matter how hard it is.

The largest number I ever played online was 96players in a COOP when a Finish squad invited us for a game but it took weeks of preparation in order to ensure that so many people would be ready to log in at the same time online.

Let's hope we will experience such numbers in CoD in a few months

Witnessed about 100 players too in ADW back in 2006.
