Thanks OKW server for running custom maps!

[Blitzk.-Bob]

There are at the moment no custom maps available!
We have a problem with our redirect server.

Sorry about that!

[Blitzk.-Bob]

UPDATE:
Added 2 more custom maps
- Butovo-B5
- Arad2_Tanks_B3

- solved the problem with our redirect server

Now available maps:

- Univermag_Beta1
- Butovo-B5
- Coldsteel_beta_6
- Arad2_Tanks_B3

There is also a test with the FF-GlassesWarehouse on our #2 server ( [OdW] Oberkommando der Wehrmacht #2) but please keep in mind, that the #2 server will be closed friday and sunday evening (CET).

Good luck & have fun!

Do you sell reserved slots? I only ask because sometime in the not-so-distant future, it would be nice to help support your efforts and keep the server going. I know it can be an expense!

Our clan has run six servers before, two in the original RO with custom maps. Anyway… I’d love to help financially support you guys in the future to keep the servers going and using custom maps.

Hi,

at the moment, there are no donations needed, but we're planing some events to promote custom maps, with as many players we can get.
For events and gaming nights with custom maps -> Join our public steamgroup!

Please keep in mind, that we can't always run custom maps, because there will be too less players on it.


There are also reservations available, just join our public steamgroup and write with an admin to get in a full server.
We're going to put back the reservedslots mutator as soon as possible!


BTW: This weekend, we are going to play custom maps every evening&night (CET)

Awesome, I'll request to join the steam group. Seven of my Clan mates favorited the server last night, and a couple of us plinked around for an hour on the server. It was rather empty, however, that will change i'm sure!

[Blitzk.-Bob]

I think so too.
The problem is, there are problems with the redirect, so some players get back to the main menu during the download, and just get "connecting to the server..." when connecting to the server.

If there are no custom maps, the server normally gets full every evening, with univermag and coldsteel too.


We will see!


Have fun!

Something to note: All of my guys had that same issue when downloading a new map from your server. The map would download, and the download didn’t take long, but just as the download finishes, we would get dropped and have to re-connect to the server. I did notice however, once the map is downloaded, the frequency of being dropped diminished.

Also, does your server get moved to un-ranked server list when running custom maps? That sometimes will account for a drop in players, even in Classic mode. Personally, I don’t give a rats-bum if the server is ranked or un-ranked.

[Blitzk.-Bob]

Nice evening today!
40 players on Coldsteel, Univermag and Arad2!
Thank you guys!

[Cultivator]

I will try and get a B3 version available sometime this weekend, but it depends on how my testing goes

[Blitzk.-Bob]

Hi everybody!

There is now "DieBresche" available on our server!
At the moment we have some problems with Provkhoy, so we're looking to fix it soon.

There is also a little public play event todays' evening 20:00 (CET) for everybody, who don't care about boring soccer matches ;=)

See you on the battlefield!

Sounds like those players tried to join through the steam server list? If you do try to connect to a server which requires a download it won't join, and any attempt to join any server won't work. The game must be launched through the my games list and then the server found in the game server browser, not through steam. The same applies for joining off friends and any other way to launch the game with auto server join from steam.

Hi SQBsam,

this problem was solved by TWI in the last patch, there was a bug.
Thanks for you reply!

- TE-Butovo
- TE-Arad (tanks only)


There is also a new poll on our website in which you can vote how many bots you would like to see on our server!

I am glad with Arad 2 tanks only. But there must be at least bottanks in the server.

Yesterday evening i played that map with some players and bot.
It was a great joy and a better map than gumrak.

Had some great matches on your server past few days on custom maps. I really appreciate it. One thing that I noticed, however, is that there is only one round per map. Sometimes the round is over very soon or you start out with few players because some people have to download the map and when everyone has finally downloaded the map, it switches to the next one. Two rounds per map (and a third for a draw) would be great for most maps.

Oh, and I don't care AT ALL for soccer so I'll probably attend the event tonight

Hi,

I'll change the rounds to 2 for each custom map!
For the other maps, we decided to play just 1 round each map.
If players want a rematch, they can vote for it.

Thanks!
