The default value is 1. # udpClientSend: 0 = TCP only 1 = simple UDP 2 = enforced UDP (state only) # 3 = enforced UDP (state & weap) udpClientSend: 3 Use this in circumstances where you observe packet loss. However, on reviewing the code, it will have no effect on the symptoms of remnant on-screen torps nor the failure of the client to transition from flight to team selection window. It does not enforce either. Sorry about that, I was wrong. The transition from flight to team selection window is the more important of the two problems. The change to POUTFIT status should be sent via TCP. But the packet loss presumably affects the TCP stream as well, and it falters. Or the server isn't sending the status change. -- James Cameron mailto:quozl at us.netrek.org http://quozl.netrek.org/
