Ye, you should wait with killing AA2 at least until AA3 has been made available on linux ...

I'm pretty sure that will never happen.

+ looking at out right now (and the top of this page), Auth is down again

I hope it's not as bad as you said and you wont have to close down AA in the long run!

What I described earlier was:
You have already played on a map, but only for like 1 hr, going 20 kills, 1 death, making your FR 20. Activity and Popularity should (at least in theory) be directly proportional to your FR, so if you play for 1h and have 20 FR, your Activity should be 20(20 FR multiplied by 1 hour) . Now if you play for an other hour going 0 kills 19 deaths, that would make your overall FR on that map 1, and your Activity would drop to 2 (1 FR multiplied by 2 hours). Don't remember the formula for Popularity, but I think it was something with score times FR (and Experience is pure score, 200point = 1 Experience %).

As much as I know, the only problem is the kill points. You're not allowed to have more kill points for each kill, as BT tracks them as more kills this way and the overall result would be inaccurate.

But that's just what I know (or think that I know), so just let the admins settle it.

There's 1 reason I can think of that could make this happen.

If you have a high FR on a map, you receive high Activity and Popularity ratings on a map. If you were to have a FR of say 20 with 1 hr and then play for an other hour letting your FR drop to 1, your Activity and Popularity for that map could drop A LOT. BT looks at the average (for as much as I know) so that drop would have to be quite substantial to have an effect (or you'd have to be on the edge), so I don't know if there really is a high probability of this changing something.

I think the reason your new headphones' ambient and gunfire is too loud is because of the headphones' own integrated sound chip. While x-Fi has SVM (don't remember what it stands for) in the drivers, which pretty much cuts down the maximum noise when there's a lot of it, but I'm guessing your p531 doesn't have that option (or you haven't enabled it). Since the p531 has its own sound chip, it doesn't go through your x-Fi card and the options you use there don't make any difference.

And I don't know anything about modern/good headphones.

I used to have Medusas as well, but Spanky said they're crap (pretty much). I believe him, but I don't have money for an amp + good pair of headphones anyway.

I'd be wiling to help

Then just add the line "AmbientSoundScaling=0.800000". It should be there, no idea why it's not in your case.

I second this. when you look from the other way the steam from the floor vents disappear as well.  It acts like that bottom window in blue building in Mout Mckenna.  The one that looks out towards church/alpha alley.  Most of you may know what Im talking about.  If it causes too much trouble then you might as well delete it. 

I tried looking at the map again and still no bullet holes for me. I can shoot through glass and throw grenades through glass without them breaking. Its like the glass isnt even there.

I had all the bullet holes I fired... no problem there for me.

As for the windows, for me they don't break either. You can actually even walk through them (not only the windows, but the posts between them as well) when crouched.
