Could be overheating. Find out what your CPU temperature is while you are gaming and if its above 65 celcius, your system may be overheating.
This could be due to dust in the fans or your cooler maybe not spinning fast enough (failure?).
Open the casing and see if you can clean the dust from there.

Some of you may not even have noticed it but Cronus has moved our websites to a new host which is a bit cheaper in the long run.
Downtime was very minimal and everything is working great.
Excellent work Capt. Corni! It has to be said

Kenz3001 has been creating a few new images for the forum design with blood and spookieness for the Halloween theme
Check out the Logo and the game forum images

and lol @ This nab.

We've promoted r3surr3Ktx to a Renegade Server Admin and he has access to our server to restart it and stuff in case of a crash.
This nab has been very helpful with us primarily with the download section, selecting new maps for the server rotation and general testing.
After months of respectful activity around here we decided to promote him to a Renegade Server Admin so he can perform additional tasks in the game and the forums.
His primary usergroup is still Download Manager though but he is ALSO a Renegade Server Admin.
Any issues with regards of downloads or the renegade server may be directed to him as well

Congrats man.

Count me in.

Congrats to Invalid_Name! He won the last weekend event's prize i was going to award to the person with most games played.
He won the game Command and Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars on Steam
Once i get around to talk to him i will make sure he gets it.
You can view the weekend event stats over here.
Statistics will now resume normal operation again until the end of this month
Thanks everyone for joining! Maybe seeya in the next event sometime in the future.

Tonight there will be a second NewMaps server online with the joinpassword "newmaps".
It is a clone of the primary NewMaps server.
Why we do this? So we can install a couple of new (old?) maps and test them out for our rotation.
The maps will NOT be available through the downloader on this test server so you must have the .mix files in your Data folder.
Most .mix files can be installed by using our UberMapPack 2015.
If you want to help us test the maps and give your honest opinion about them before we add them into rotation you are free to join us in this server
Note: In the end it is up to Kickmofo, FeaR and me what maps will be in rotation. If people really really don't like a certain map they can always !skip vote it.
Thanks for joining and helping decide!
PS: The IRC channel is #NewMapsTest on irc.cncirc.net for anyone who needs to !auth, or just join it if you like.

I'll be there probly on saturday

Red Alert: A Path Beyond Weekend
Starting on the morning of Friday the 25th of September 2015,
Ending on the late evening of Monday the 28th of September 2015!
Be there
Introduction
Hello everyone i would like to announce that we are going to hold a new gaming event for Red Alert: A Path Beyond which will be the second one this year with more to come maybe in the future.
We will be playing on the MPF AOW/Coop Server with all -or most of- our moderators, players and server developers.
Statistics
The server records all sorts of things such as kills, games played, vehicles destroyed, buildings destroyed, infantry killed and also which weapon was used to kill with.
Check your stats here: http://apb.multiplayerforums.com/stats.php
Win C&C 3 Tiberium Wars

I bought a legit copy of C&C 3 Tiberium Wars on Steam for the person that played the most games!
The rankings will be reset on Friday the 25th of September 2015. The person ranked with the most played games at the end of the event on Monday the 28th of September 2015 will receive the game as a gift into their Steam account from me.
After the event the stats will be archived and the regular stats will resume
Newcomers
If you are a newcomer to RA:APB or never heared of it:
Red Alert A Path Beyond is a full standalone conversion of the Renegade W3D Engine, you do not need the game Renegade to play it but you can run it along-aside Renegade just fine in case you do have it.
It consists of structures, vehicles, units, sounds and many other custom assets from the game C&C Red Alert.
There are lots of (custom)maps and a few different game-modes such as the classic All Out War, Deathmatch and Co-Op.
Where to Download?
You can download the Red Alert: A Path Beyond client from their website at www.bluehellproductions.com
Thanks & Have fun
Thank you all for reading this and maybe joining up in this event. Also please tell everyone you know to join
Greetz the MPF APB Server Moderator and Development Team

In case anyone was having trouble connecting to IRC over the last 24 hours, there was an outage in one of C&C IRC DNS servers due to the migration of one of our VMs. Although it is doubtful that anyone noticed because of the redundancy in DNS.
 
This has been fixed.

http://www.tiberiumcrystalwar.com

We are still actively working on Tiberium Crystal War 2.0
Things are going a tad slowish but we're still making progress.
The code-base is now moved over to the Dragonade 1.8 version with 4.2 TT support, created by WhiteDragon originally for Renegade itself.
Building sound and message notifications, unit purchase notifications, and radar visibility are now coded to not play/view unless the Command Post and/or Operations Center are alive and kicking.
The GDI Armory code is also done where it will repair friendly units within a certain radius of it. This simulates the C&C 3 function to restore units back to full health by putting them inside the Armory.
Stealth Detection is functioning as well already where it will decloak enemy stealthed units while using a GDI Pitbull or Nod Attack Bike.
We're unsure if we want the defenses to destealth enemy units in range, although they will fire at them at will.
The veterancy for units is also working. There are 3 levels of veterancy just like in C&C 3: Veteran, Elite and Heroic.
They will sport icons created by ImperialKaskins, a single chevron, a double chevron and a golden star which appears near the unit when it is promoted. These icons will stick to the unit and are only visible to friendly units so you don't give away your position to enemies in certain situations.
Upgrades for the Nod Secret Shrine are also coded in place and provide:
- Tiberium Infusion: Militant Rifle and Militant Rocket Soldiers will take no more damage from Tiberium fields.
- Confessor: Hallucinogenic Grenades will be granted to all Militant Rifle and Militant ROcket Soldiers on the battlefield which can be used to severely annoy your enemy by making their screen shake immensly.
Upgrades for the GDI Armory:
- Composite Armor: Grants Rifle Soldiers, Grenadiers and Missile Soldiers more hitpoints for their Kevlar Vest Armor.
- Power Packs: Increases Zonetrooper hitpoints and makes them regenerate health while they are idle and not moving.
- Scanner Packs: Will grant the Zonetrooper the ability to detect stealthed units in a nearby radius.
Commando gameplay just got more interesting! As some of you may know both the Nod and GDI Commando can kill a building with just 1 Timed C4.
This Timed C4 runs for 1 minute and it will announce publically it was placed on a certain building. Engineers, Saboteurs and Spawn Guys can disarm this with their Repairguns.
In the past when you used your Timed C4 with a Commando you had to return to base and refill your ammo, this is no longer the case. In TCW 2.0 the Commando will regenerate his Timed C4 every 2-3 minutes (may be tweaked later).
The GDI Sniper will kill ALL enemy units in 1 single shot. Its weapon will have a semi-high reloading time though so it is not as easy to pick off targets with it and in addition to this there is a maximum of 2 Snipers per team. A skilled Shadow user is the ultimate counter to this character.
Unit Technology from the Weapons Factories, Barracks and Hand of Nod can be stolen by the enemy! With Nod you use a Saboteur to get inside the building and steal Tech, with GDI you can use the Engineer to do it. Note that the limited ammo repairgun of this character must be full while attempting to steal technology.
WHen successful it will unlock enemy units in your Purchase Terminal meaning if you stole GDI Weapons Factory technology with Nod you can then buy Mammoth tanks and what not. And vice versa for Nod units on GDI.
Superweapons are not yet functional but worked on. They will have simular cinematics as seen in TCW 1.52b where the Nuclear missile will actually take off into the air etc.
The guy you spawn with, the Spawn, now has 3 variations in the purchase menu which can be switched to for free:
1- The Repair Spawn (equiped with a repair gun that can slowly repair and disarm things as well as capture tiberium spikes)
2- The Shotgun Spawn (equiped with a highpowered short-ranged Shotgun with 8 shells)
3- The MP5 Spawn (equiped with a 30 round automatic MP5 rifle)
This should add some variation to the start of the game mostly In addition to their primary weapon they also have a Knife btw.
I hope this covered some of the questions you may have about the game. There is more to report but maybe later We are actialy developing it but slowly, it will be available "when its done" and that will be a few months work at least.


PS: We are taking new testers, when interested please post here: http://multiplayerforums.com/forum/411-applications/

UltraAOW.com Marathon
MPF has been working on a new server for you all to enjoy: A Marathon server!!
It is listed on XWIS/WOL as UltraWAR and on RenList of course too. Go on and favorite it
It will be set without a Timelimit (Marathon) and have the Westwood (modified) maps in rotation.
There is also a new custom veterancy in this server which will be explained in this post.
IRC Channel
The irc channel can be found at irc.cncirc.net #MPF-Marathon.
Veterancy Information
To lookup your veterancy please type !vet or if you have our keys config file you can press the HOME key to quickly look it up.
On the Marathon server you will LOSE some veterancy points when you die, a penalty, the amount of points you lose depend on the character you are.
Below is a list of implemented veterancy point awards and requirements:
Veteran_Points_Required_Level_1_Experienced=2500 Veteran_Points_Required_Level_2_Veteran=5000 Veteran_Points_Required_Level_3_Elite=7500 Veteran_Points_Required_Level_4_Colonel=10000 Veteran_Points_Required_Level_5_Commando=15000 Veteran_Points_Character_Repair=33 Veteran_Points_Defenses_Repair=77 Veteran_Points_Vehicle_Repair=44 Veteran_Points_Harvester_Repair=150 Veteran_Points_Beacon_Denied=111 Veteran_Points_Beacon_Last_Second_Save=555 Veteran_Points_Building_Repair=55 Veteran_Points_Building_Destroyed=1500 And of course you get veteran points for killing vehicles and characters, the amount varies per vehicle and character where more expensive units grant more veteran points than less expensive units.You get slightly more points for killing Harvesters and Defenses in Marathon mode.
You receive a little silver star for every veteran level you achieve with a maximum of five which is the last level: Commando.
The silver star models were created by our ImperialKaskins also known as IK Here some screenshots of them:

Right now - it will be expanded on later - veterancy levels increase your health and armor a little bit and you unlock commands such as !turret, !cannon, !guntower and !samsite to build those objects.
The cannons when exited will be taken over by AI and fire at enemies until someone enters it again.
You can also upgrade any vehicle you enter once when you level up with your veterancy and grant it 10hp/ap extra.
Alternative Vehicle and Character Skins
There are several series of Skins available for various units in Marathon.
You can get cool looking Mammoth Tanks with a CnC3 type skin or a nice leather/crodocile look. For nod there are also special Bright vehicle skins which look really good.
Check out the Sexy Sakura and Hotwire too! Created originally by Mauler. Some screenshots below:


Vehicle Skins:

Rotating MRLS is in Stock
The second MRLS on the Purchase Menu, the Crocodile camo version, is able to rotate its turret around.
Some people will like this as they can then fire behind their MRLS and stuff.

Quake Sounds
There are various new Quake Sounds available in Marathon including the Headshot sound and Vehicular Manslaughter when you run people over.
Numerous special Quake Sounds are also heared when you double kill, triple kill, and kill more for other sounds.
A simple Humiliation sound is there for when you get owned by the Harvester.
A complete list, where Godlike is the final sound you can get and requires 35 kills without dying:

QUAKE_DOUBLE_KILL = 2, QUAKE_HATRICK = 3, QUAKE_KILLING_SPREE = 5, QUAKE_MULTI_KILL = 7, QUAKE_MEGA_KILL = 8, QUAKE_DOMINATING = 10, QUAKE_RAMPAGE = 12, QUAKE_ULTRA_KILL = 14, QUAKE_MONSTER_KILL = 16, QUAKE_MASSACRE = 18, QUAKE_UNREAL = 20, QUAKE_UNSTOPPABLE = 22, QUAKE_LUDICROUS_KILL = 24, QUAKE_WICKED_SICK = 26, QUAKE_BLOOD_BATH = 28, QUAKE_ERRADICATION = 30, QUAKE_EXTERMINATION = 33, QUAKE_GODLIKE = 35,Unlimited Ammo & Calling SuppliesThe server has unlimited ammo for all weapons but C4's and Beacons.

Thanks All
Thank you everyone for joining our servers! Please continue to do so and have fun!

It appears that XWIS is currently down. We've started the NewMaps server in Gamespy mode for the time being.
Once XWIS i back up we'll put it back on there along with Gamespy.
Edit: Server is back in XWIS / WOL mode.

To be honest it looks just like my gameplay, or normal to me... maybe I need glasses?

Visit the forums here and participate with us in discussions for this game.
For newcomers: RA: APB is a standalone game developed by Bluehell Productions. It is running on the Renegade W3D Engine.
MPF hosts a server for this with both AOW and Co-op maps in rotation.
Want to try out RA: APB?: Download Launcher and install the game
Thanks.

Yep that's what i used to auto  identify myself  now  

Do you guys know how to use the "perform" function? It's not a script. If you don't let me know and I will be glad to show you. It auto idents you every time you join.

Never mind, i've fixed it (i'll guess)
 
Googled for help and found what i've done wrong.
Now i even don't have to identify myself eachtime anymore
 
Going to selfstudy some mIRC scripting trought the net to educate myself again in this thing.

Are you using the irc chat tab at the top to connect or Mirc programme itself? Try allowing Mirc in your firewall settings.
 
If you need any help let me know.

Hey guy's.
 
I have the following problem.
 
* I've installed mIRC again and did register my name ( paterke ) on it.
* I've put in the confirmation code and it was accepted.
* For some odd reason mIRC did restart over and over again.
 
Then i did the following.
 
* I've created a new nickname ( MPFpaterke )
* Registered it and send the confirmation code.
 
It worked sort of 2 days. ( kept me logging of and auto login again ( always switched from 1 name to the other )
 
Today when i trid to identify myself it said my name isn't registerd.
Could someone look into it please (I'm a really Mirc n00b with little knowledge of it) as i like to be on Mirc and if it doesn't work then it's of no use for me.
 
SS below in attachments
