BF3 server size

[Ash2Dust]

We played Conquest64 (which I believe shows as Larger Conquest in Battlelog). We only had 12 players and the lag was not fun. Currently I've set it to 32 players max and the maps on Rush. When we start hitting 32 players, we can try the normal Conquest with 64. We'll need people to populate it again soon so we can see how it feels.

Open to ideas.

We'll need people that can idle on the server to help seed from time to time. If you can help seed, just idle on TS and we'll shanghai you.

I was able to play on different Conquest Large servers with 64 people in EU last night without rubberbanding. They seem to restart the server every other map. We may have to try that or our provider isnt good enough for it. If you play on a Conquest large server, try to find out who the provider is or at least the website of the clan.

Also, the GC server is located in London, past games, I seem to have a better experience with German server locations.

02-11-2011 - Battlefield 3 Server issues after R7

Currently some reports are coming in about problems with:

- Server queue
- Server in serverlist
- Not able to connect to the back-end

We recommend to disable the server
This is disabled by default if you haven't changed it yourself.
queue(VeniceOnline.QueueCapacityOverride) because:

1. Server crashes when player can’t be found, case not handled correctly on server.
2. Players get stuck in queue and are not moved into the server correctly when there is room.

DICE is working to resolve the other issues at this moment.

Nice, wonder where the changelog is.

Earlier i3D.net info

02-11-2011 - DICE Releases Battlefield 3 R7 patch

Dear clients,

DICE has Released the R7 patch for Battlefield 3. This patch addresses the rubberbanding problems experienced in server with more than 48 slots.

We are currently deploying the R7 patch to all servers.

Changelog for R7:

- Server improvements that should decrease rubberbanding
- TDM/SQDM spawn point fix
- 2 crash fixes in end of round
- Fix for connection problem when joining password protected servers
- Removed ‘vars.allUnlocksUnlocked’ once ranked server settings are enforced, this may come back in some form.

Additionally we've been getting a lot of questions about 2 issues in particular.

Setting playercounts: Since release the variable for playerslots has changed from vars.maxPlayerCount to vars.maxPlayers. If you're experiencing issues with getting your server running above the slotcount for a mode (for example your server is stuck on 32 slots rush while you paid for 48). Change vars.maxPlayerCount to vars.maxPlayers in the startup.txt file in the configuration editor.

Second is the players needed to start a server. If you want to edit this option make sure that the players needed to RESTART the server is always set lower than the players needed to start. Failure to do so will result in the settings being ignored.

and i3D.net TS3 info (not ours). We will need to update ours at some point, but I havent heard any complaints.

01-11-2011 - Teamspeak 3 update

Tomorrow morning (02-11-2011) we are planning to update our Teamspeak 3 voice-server to the latest stable version. We are updating due to complaints that users randomly lose their connection.

The maintenance window will open at 9:00 CET - 02-11-2011 and will close at 9:15 CET - 02-11-2011. We will update this news message once the update has been completed.

UPDATE 09:05:
Teamspeak was succesfully updated at all locations.

You rock, Ash! Thanks for keeping up with all of this.

[Ash2Dust]

Server name changed to
[GC] http://www.global-conflict.org 2 player start

Dont see any servers with banners so I dont know how we would implement one. If you see a banner or other advertising feature on a server. Take a screenshot or let us know.

Edit: Server fills very quickly on Rush. Doubt the server will be idle much anymore.

BF3CC is living up to its legend. Pain in the butt.

Currently I am unable to change the maplist that works while people are playing. Added a couple maps and could never get it to play a map I added. Not sure if its a mixed mode issue.
