PSA: If you're logging in at a congested area, make sure to let all players load in before you start moving!

[dragonslayingmaster1000]

I was doing the Operation HQ event today and I saw some people likely unintentionally driving through other players and flipping them over because they haven't loaded in for them yet. It can take about 1-2 minutes (depending on if you have an SSD or HDD) if you're in an area with 200+ players for example, which you're definitely going to find that much at Operation HQ. I urge people to just wait on the side of the road or if you're in an area where you can't pull over tell people in chat: "I just logged in and I'm waiting for players to load in, sorry if I'm blocking anyone."

 

This is something you can potentially get permanently banned for because it can be mistaken for NCZ hacks so I want to put this out there so more people know.

 

Also a side tip, if you're stopped in a traffic jam pause your game and that will prevent you from being damaged/flipped over. You can go into freecam beforehand and be able to fly around and watch traffic and use chat while paused too. Good thing to use to avoid people driving through you.

 

Update on 13th March: Although the operation HQ event is ending very soon (although the TMP HQ will still be there so there will still be players there), this tip still applies to congested areas like the C-D road and the Kirkenes quarry where people would load in slow.

yes, you touched on a good topic here, thanks for this information.

It's always best to stay in non collision zone while everything is loading up if you happen to be inside of one. This could be any company near the centre of Wrocław, the rest area, or the service area. When I teleported to the garage in that city, it took 40 seconds, or so to load all the map icons, along with all the players nearby. Ghost Mode has shut off during the waiting process, with no one on the screen.

Heya

 

I usually wait in high populated areas when I go there that all players loaded in, but it doesn’t take longer than 5-10 seconds for. 
 

However, since many people are facing loading issues, the community must be well informed about the issue. 
 

In my knowledge, the GM team is aware of this issue as well and I really don’t think that you will accidentally get banned for Hacking. I‘ve seen in some cases that the people who are driving through others got kicked from the server (if a GM saw that) and they can just reconnect and wait until all players loaded it; and I also think that it is the right thing to do. 
 

Furthermore, Lincoln, a Game Moderator, already created a guide here on the forum where you can easily differ, if one player was hacking or just had some loading issues. You can find the guide here: 

Make sure to check out that guide if you haven’t, it really does help if you don’t know if someone was hacking or not.

Great topic. 

But let's see some situations. 

1- If we are entering the game, we always enter Gost Modo. If you happen to spawn on top of other players, the mod doesn't disappear until you enter without causing any collisions.

2-All players should have the notion of pulling over to Bern when they are entering the game. 

3- But the most worrying thing is knowing who is cheating who is still loading the game. Are many players not taking advantage of this???

Good miles to everyone.

Hello,

 

When you are in a crowded area, where there are a lot of people, the best (in my opinion) is to either stop in a non-collision zone or a rest area (petrol station...), in all case where you are not likely to bother someone.

 

Personally, what I do in the case you describe, I make sure to be in places where I don't risk disturbing someone (like what I described above).

 

Afterwards, as for a permanent ban, if the game mod team is aware of the problem, normally you will not be banned.

 

Important point: When you are in populated areas, where there are a lot of people, I always advise to REC your game, so that if you get a ban while you haven't done anything, you can appeal by providing your evidence.

Nesse tipo de situação e sim o melhor a se fazer, ate pra evitar acidentes e certas coisas que podem acarretar em punição futura.

I actually don’t think that they take advantage of this problem because they don’t see any of the people they ram away, they are just not aware of that problem.

Eu realmente não acho que eles se aproveitem desse problema porque eles não veem nenhuma das pessoas que eles expulsam, eles simplesmente não estão cientes desse problema. 

In my opinion it is something that the TMP cannot control nor can it have proof of what it is. 

Something that the TMP should find a solution by having a rule about it.

I do my best to not log in in busy areas such as C-D or any event area. It could cause problems for the server and yourself. Best advise is to log in on a different server and quickly move. Or even load up a quicksave file close but not in that area.

Thanks @dragonslayingmaster1000 for these good advice.

 

In this context I'd like to mention another issue which is often disregarded:

A safe log-in location.

 

Your log-in location is usually the location where you logged-out the last time.

It therefore is important to park your vehicle in a location, which won't block, damage and/ or bother other players after you logged-in.

For example, the middle of the road is a big no-go! 

Instead, choose a non-collision zone or parking facility.

 

Drive safely everyone!

Yeah that's a problem, for the players in game that start flying, and also a problem for the report system being filled with reports about hacking when it's not,

 

I don't know how big it's the margin to improve such situation, but it's something that should get more attention

Bumping this because this is important for people to know about. This doesn't just go for Operation HQ either.

I'd recommend to just go onto a smaller server (like US or SGT), when trying to deliver to OperationHQ. Makes life easier.

It's definitely a good option if you just want the achievement quick and don't care about doing the event with lots of people, but if people are doing this more than once they clearly are doing it just be in traffic. Although TMP did change the dropoff point and started the building construction so I'm sure people want to check that out too. 

[dragonslayingmaster1000]

Well, the Operation HQ is event is over for almost 2 weeks now, but this is still important for people to know for CD road or Kirkenes quarry so I will keep this thread going.
