Muchos thanks.

CPU & memory usage doesn't appear to have changed, but it is eating into GFX card capabilities a little more (FPS has dropped slightly).

Collision detection is a bit loose on the BA-609.

Anyone up for testing the online voice feature?

No, should be fine just whack it on.

I knew this would happen, I just sent my adapter in for repair and now after all this time they release 2.5beta.

Ports 26500-26505 may need to allowed at your firewall/router, possibly for the online and new voice feature.

[Ashley Davis]

the sim uses ports 26500-26505 for multiplayer. I always had to DMZ my router on V2.0 in order to use multiplayer, in 2.5 it just works so for most you hopefully won't have to do anything with ports.

I had my router at standard settings, no DMZ and no ports forwarded etc - it all works fine this way.

Cheers,
Rob

Worked fine for me also - just had to allow the ports on my software firewall - first time I've been able to play Phoenix MP since 1.5 if I remember right.

Maybe it a UPnP thing, which isn't enabled on the firewalls here!

Just tried 'voice' and it killed all application sound until Phoenix was restarted.
