The piece of shit just said he won't ever visit the UK, one of our biggest allies, unless protests are banned. I feel like that right there says it all. He's a not just a terrible president, but a terrible human being as well. He doesn't care about freedom, just his own personal wealth.

yes I am afraid that my stats are gone - I worked hard for it   
Sorry for being so impatient - I will wait and see then
I wpn't pester you guys anymore - my apologies
I will be away next week for a month or 2 anyway - maybe I get a surprise upon my return.
I understand that account registration is the most urgent issue at the moment -
I just love the stats per map - so nice to see where you stand

Anyway thanx to all dedicating their free time to this game and keeping this game alive

Cheers

I cannot promise that stats, and especially per map stats are ever going to return. I know some work was done on it a while ago, but how much and if it's kept up to date I really don't know.

This is a lot more than webapp work. That's the easy part. The entire auth system is pretty intricate and the only person that knows/knew how it worked is not around anymore.
I did receive an email back from Eliz yesterday and he says that he doesn't really remember how most of it was setup (it wasn't all setup by him) but did answer some questions for me and I'm trying to piece a lot of this stuff together.

This is going to take some time. Hopefully when there's a better understanding of how everything works, I can give a more certain answer, but for right now, our only goal is to get account management working.

I actually got a response from Homey saying that he'll keep the AA pages up for a couple more months to give us time to create a replacement. He said that after so long he just wants to move on from Battletracker and I can't really blame him for it. He's done so much for this game I think he deserves a thanks from everyone.

Something that count honor would be good as well (although not essential).
As Merlin said, ELiZ made most of this a few years back already.
Now it's a matter of enabling new user registration and secure logins (as well as existing accounts, hopefully). But since ELiZ hasn't been on here for over a year and seems to be hard to reach some of the process can take longer than it would ideally.

I could be wrong as I've been away for awhile, but I'm pretty sure honor is already primarily kept track of by the assist database and thus should see no change after BT shuts down.

Also, the goal is to not only allow new accounts, but account editing as well. Editing accounts is a pretty simple addition once account registry is up and running again. I just need some free time to work on it. Hopefully tomorrow through the weekend.
I have absolutely no insight as to how Eliz set this all up, but we're going to try our best to sort it out and get everything working decently well. I'd feel bad letting this community down after so long.

Anyway, just to be able to track players and servers and in the end we all know that there will be some solution as it has always been.

Tracking is the last thing we're worried about. First priority is getting account registration working again. I'll take a look at making a webpage for it this week. I'll need to talk to Nick and Spanky because ideally it should be a part of the AAO25 website rather than some externally hosted site.
Assist does have some tracking stuff already done but as far as I am aware it was not completed and I have no idea what state it's currently in.

Alright will do. Thank's for the input tho.

On a sidenote, I've had a bunch of people tell me to go with 32gb of ram instead of the 16gb I've already bought. I really don't see the need for 32gb since all I do is game.

Na, 32GB of ram is way overkill for gaming.

As for the CD drive, you never know when you might need one. I have a lot of older games on disc I like to play. Plus it's an external drive so you don't have to have it hooked up all the time.

My mobo won't fit in that case. It's an E-ATX mobo (12.0" x 10.7"). So I'm kinda limited on cases. I mainly bought it due to the DIMM.2 feature it has. It's got other great features, but that's the one I like the most.

Ah I didn't notice that. Gotta get a full tower. That case you posted does look good though.

And as far as DAC and sound cards go, I'm not too knowledgeable in the area. Care to elaborate and maybe recommend what I should go with over a sound card. I do plan on getting studio grade headphones and a standalone mic down the road. 

The 2 main reasons for suggesting a DAC is because sound cards are typically "gamer" type of products. They're all flash and very little substance (like gaming headsets). An external DAC is typically geared towards audiophiles more and focuses more on the sound. Also, A PC has a lot of electrical noise that may interfere with the analog signal after the card converts it from digital. This might not always be noticeable since these cards tend to have some sort of shielding but nothing perfect. Also, if you plan to use the front audio ports you're running an unshielded wire across your entire case.
Since an external DAC is getting the digital signal and converting it outside of the case it's much less of an issue.

And as far as the 1080 goes, I bought it like 5 days before the ti was announced. I was SUPERRRRRRR fucking pissed. But now I'm stuck with it.

Ah, that makes sense. The 1080 is a beast of a card though and if you don't have a 4k monitor there's very little use in getting another one to SLI. I'd wait until you can't max everything you want to and then there will be better single cards on the market.

Ahhh you back killa

Welcome back,,btw i, moved the fuck out of Florida , back to good old Chicagoland

I never went anywhere, I've always been playing the game, I just don't post much.

As for the topic, it just seems odd that I've never seen this problem before and all of a sudden after the update I'm getting it almost every time I try to play.

Also, if you're going to do an update, especially after such a long period of no updates, you really should have an announcement about what the update was for.
