Good video, thanks for making this to explain things to all of us potential users of Openspy. I wish I could be of some help in the tech area that you guys need, but I am afraid I do not have those skills. I can test of course, and I am trying to get games going every day, but getting guys to migrate from Gamespay is proving to be pretty tough. Half of the guys on BK Gamespy do not speak any English, so that makes them hard to reach. And then the Gamespy chat is so wonky that it is hard to show people how to switch to Openspy and such. Even so, I have seen around 20 different players on the OPenspy BK server thus far, albeit one at a time. The biggest glitches thus far have to do with the chat room, specifically player status. It never seems to read correctly, and there have been a couple of players who have not been able to host a game, although they could join mine when I hosted. When this was happening, the status of the player (Mogwaii) would show as "in game" when he was in the chat room. After this glitch had occurred I saw a server reset happen, but at that point Mogwaii was gone so we could not check if he could host after that. BK has always had some specific multiplayer issues, primarily that some people can play games but not host them. This is due to a router port issue, but Mogwaii made sure he had all the right ports open when he and his friend were experiencing this. Obviously what is needed is a bunch more testing with more players, I am doing my best to get players to try OPenspy for Bk out, but reaching the Mulitplayer crowd is proving to be a tough row to hoe. When Gamespy slips beneath the waves there will be a big surge of guys coming over of course, but it would be so much better if we could get enough to test several games a day before then, so that any potential bugs can be worked out. I will push as hard as I can this weekend to get more players to migrate, so hopefully by this time next week it will be easier to get a test match going.
