anyways, if the guy has so much confidence in successfully getting you off eso, then its probably useless to try and stop him. But even confidence cannot guarrentee success. I would just ignore him (web insults aren't that insulting to me) and continue. You may want to insult back but I wouldn't suggest it since it just shows that you care so he'll keep annoying you. They say time is money and you are wasting his precious time if you just ignore him and let him send messages (of course add to pest if he's spamming messages) Anyways I don't find whisper-insults that effective (not that I done them! I swear!) since it does not appear during actual game-play, which to me matters the most.

Edit: btw, whats thta?

2. OOS can be caused by certain god powers on really sh1tty CPU's(sub 500mhz) too

Im guessing thta is that spelt wrong.

Im 99% sure it does... i do it all the time with my clanmates.

If you pest him you can check when he is searching rated and wait till he gets a game.

Quote:

yes if a) it was one of your last 10 games and if b) you have record games on in your game options. however recorded games show no evidence of oos, it just says recorded game ended.

Damn! I don't record my games, most are not worthwhile to watch and takes too much disk space if I record 100 games just for a few good ones, and it may be too late now to check. But would you mind giving me a link to that checking page? (I still didn't find it)

PS. I'm so stupid for not thinking it was "that"! But there's a lot of abreviations and "short" words on the net(I just used one!) these days and I thought it was one of them.

thanks

replace VB_WhiplashJC with your eso name.

when you record games it only keeps the last 10 unless you rename them, at around 200 kb each for an average length game that's 2 mb total. it's very benefical to watch your own games to see what you're doing wrong.

1. Ignore him. The biatch doesn't need the satisfaction of receiving a response. He'll give up in a day or so and bother someone else. I've had people like that on games and it works 90% of the time.

2. Make a new user under a similar name. Become Cow_Fan28, or CowFan29, or TheCowFan28. The guy probably won't go through the trouble of guessing your new name if he suspects that you changed.

About darkdude's problem, there are server pinging programs that will mess up a network connection, which may cause an OOS in AOM. There is no way to stop these people, just write them down on a list and check for them in any game you play before pressing ready.

I've personally played with a map hacker before. I figured out he was hacking because against all odds, he found all 4 bases that I time shifted around the map within seconds of me placing the first building. I simply quit on him, called him a ****ing hacker and left.
