Unknown Posted December 30, 2011 Posted December 30, 2011 Hey, I have seen many times on F|A 2 when someone connects to server, i see in console "Acking disconnected download mode". Could anyone explain it to me? and what is the reason of it? Quote
RetroLeaves Posted December 30, 2011 Posted December 30, 2011 I found this using Google: Acking disconnected means that they are disconnected from server as long as the download takes so they dont reserve a slot while downloading. 1 Quote
Chuckun Posted December 30, 2011 Posted December 30, 2011 I always understood it to mean what Retro just said too If they don't have the map or the mod PK3 (or any other custom pk3s) then they will sit in the 'downloading' state which you see on the connecting screen when you don't have a new map. Instead of them sitting in spec as 'connecting' for 5 minutes or w/e, they download without consuming a slot. EDIT: Most people can download a map in <1minute but dial up users etc could take 5+ minutes to download a map.. Wich is a long time for several players to be hogging a slot whilst downloading.. So you can see the importance when you look at it like that Chuck 2 Quote
