Intentionally killing your teammates is prohibited by the game rules. Friendly fire is for those who want an extra edge in the battle - it makes accidental collateral damage possible.

Here would be fine, but screen shots are usually inconclusive in this case, a video works much better.

OSX 10.6.3, no difference in FPS between Safari & Firefox. Do you by any chance have a Skype extension for firefox installed? Since the problem is browser-specific (Safari and Firefox use the same flash player plugin), the source could be either in low priority set for firefox process, an extension in firefox that loads up the process of the browser itself consuming much more resources.

I am russian but live in the US

They've found and fixed the bug that's responsible for this issue. All exp will get back to normal in a few days.

Well, that's a much better description, isn't it? We actually know about this problem and are working on a fix for it. For now, there are a couple workarounds. First, try clearing the browser cache. This actually doesn;t help in most cases but it's quick and it's a general first step in troubleshooting browser-based games. Second, go to your garage and see if anything in your inventory appears twice - usually it's the mines that will do this. If yes, there's a pretty quick way to solve this problem: you need to enter a DM or TDM battle and burn off your mines one by one. If you don't want to waste the mines or if there's nothing doubled in your garage, there is a slower way of solving this problem. You need to PM support (see the link in my post above) and describe your problem briefly. The key words to mention are 'critical error in every CTF battle'.

Well so far there's no question to be answered. First, how do we know what you problem is, when you give us no description? Maybe you can't play in groups with other kids during recess? Second, there are clear instructions on how to report a problem here: http://forum.tankionline.com/posts/list/5773.page So to respond to your statement - indeed, we cannot provide a solution when we do not know what the problem is and you do not report it to us. Personally, I'd advice calling up David Copperfield, I heard he's good at reading minds, so maybe he'd be able to help you.

Clear the cache, reload the game. Or do you mean you removed the firefox command bar?

We already use reformal.ru, but thanks for the offer. If you really wanted to contact the administration, you'd look for the name of the company that runs the game on the index page.

You were clearly told to PM Support and not post in the topic with any bugs that you've found. With 200000+ registrations and about a 1000 bug reports a day it became very hard to pick real bugs out of a pile of reports that say 'i've flipped my tank, what do I do' and 'please give me more money'.

There have been no modifications of twins in the past month. Closed.

Oh man, you deliver. Read. Then post.

I disagree...why should we have to use crystals? If someone takes time to freely contribute their time to design maps for the community, why should THEY be punished? That's backwards thinking. Back in the day, ID software had a hit on their hands with the original Quake games, and the ability for users to mod and create maps that were used by millions of people in the original Team Fortress. It MADE Id Software as a company! That model has been used many times over by others for a reason. Everyone benefits from the growth of a community! I understand making people sign non-disclosure agreements, that's just good business sense, but for gods sake don't discourage people from contributing their time and effort! No one is suggesting giving away the flash based game engine, just making a map / level editor freely available and useable, as far as I know Keep in mind, growth = $$ for the game designers and distributors. Free maps designed by the community = growth, therefore : more user designed maps = growth = $$ for game designers! (all maps are distributed by the game servers anyhow, so the model supports it easily) Just my 2c (or 0.586080586 roubles) :lol: :lol: :lol: Making maps is free and doesn't even require signing an NDA anymore, so I am not sure what you're complaining about.

It's not just for the states, all our servers are physically located in Moscow. But yeah, it seems like the new release has a memory leak so everything goes down a couple times a day. We've notified the server administrator, waiting for him.

Screen res, mostly. Alternativa Engine does not render what isn't visible. Bigger resoulution - bigger visible window - more objects to render - higher CPU usage. Flash 10.1 Beta has some GPU acceleration with proper drivers and compatible card. Probably older architecture CPU on the 1st PC too, God knows what optimizations does adobe make. Cooling might make a difference too - if the cooler fan hasn't been cleaned for a while, CPU might not work at full force to avoid overheating. p.s. MacBook aluminum, 13", 1280*, 2.4 GHz, 2GB ~25-30 FPS on big maps.

Well it kind of is your own mistake, but try writing to help@tankionline.com and see if they can help. It won't be fast though.

Eugenia, the list of the messages sent by me do not remain. Only the entering. It seems to me, you have a list of messages. But I remember precisely that when I have sent the message on number 1315, the answer to me have not come. The balance of phone has smoothly fallen on 114 with superfluous roubles. I do not wish to bother, but nevertheless help! It is any error! Please use the Russian section of the forum and spare us from your attempts to speak English. Thanks.

Points do not depend on the rank. They depend on the rating.

Impossible to play on any server for days now. Cleared cache many times and used multiple browsers, but nothing worked. Here is the log: [ERROR]: [battlefieldModel::loop] TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at alternativa.tanks.models.ctf::CTFModel/isPositionInFlagProximity()[D:workeclipsews_projectsBattlefieldModeltargetcheckoutsrcalternativatanksmodelsctfCTFModel.as:544] at alternativa.tanks.models.battlefield.mine::BattleMinesModel/tick()[D:workeclipsews_projectsBattlefieldModeltargetcheckoutsrcalternativatanksmodelsbattlefieldmineBattleMinesModel.as:406] at alternativa.tanks.models.battlefield::BattlefieldModel/loop()[D:workeclipsews_projectsBattlefieldModeltargetcheckoutsrcalternativatanksmodelsbattlefieldBattlefieldModel.as:1055] Yeah, we're working on this bug.

You're the second person witht his error that I see today, I'll direct this to the server programmer guy from Alternativa when he wakes up

Clear the cache and try again, should work.

Monty, k, enough whining. You don't even read the FAQ and look at the prices before arguing - there is a 4000 crystals difference, not 7000. No one said this game will correspond to your personal idea of fairness, and I can tell you right now that it will not. Im gonna close this topic now, because the discussion of the issue is over.

25% from smoky, second most popular weapon in this game? Or maybe the fact that after you take 2 hits from a raligun you still have enough to deal with an isida? Dunno, what could it be...lol.

Rating. Not rank.
