Onlineconsoles.com's hosted Quake 3 Arena servers for the Dreamcast now boot PC users. Now, only Dreamcast clients can connect to OC's Q3 servers. This means, you can be certain you are playing with a fellow Dreamcast console user.

You can thank registered user FireBlade for his research and development work in completing this task.

How come people dont like PC players? Is it because they can hack?

I think it's more the natural advantages that PC players have.....higher resolution, faster connections (unless using BBA) and better frame rates. Many of us also prefer to play with the controller rather than a keyboard and mouse, which of course PC players don't do....and last but not least...some just like to know it's all Dreamcast players Smile

It's not an option of the standard server sadly, I implemented it in the 1.16n sourcecode of Q3a

Well, I've mostly met DC players on the OC servers anyway. However, I am dial-up and controller user, when it comes to DC online gaming. Playings with BBA and keyboard/mouse users is just the same like playing with PC users. Smile

It is a fact that getting online with the Dreamcast is rather difficult. One needs to have an expensive BBA, a PCDC server, or a legitimate pay for use dialup ISP. Its a challenge to get one's Dreamcast online.

Some people want to interact with players online, but they don't care what hardware they use. They just want to make that social connection with a niche gaming community. Playing from a PC is far more convenient, thus allowing for more immediate gratification.

However this site and the servers are for those trying to "keep the dream alive".

The #1 primary reason why OC specifically blocks PC users is because this website is hardware specific. It promotes "Dreamcast" online gaming. The whole point of this community is for people playing from their Dreamcast game consoles to be able to meet up with others who do the same.

That is why technology was introduced to block PC users.

Hey all, a bug was found where users using non-human skins (like the eyeball skin) will get dropped from the server.

Until Fireblade comes up a fix I will have the pull the mod for the time being.
