Server Gameplay battlefield

[shift]

Well, you asked for it and Flitterkill deliverd. Now it's up to you guys to help decide in what direction we take this server. Personally, I believe it would be easier to maintain / get new traffic with a DM server.

Some notes:

 

From NFO:

 

BF3 has quite a few bugs in it right now that lead to server crashes. Most of these happen on map changes, but some also occur at seemingly random times during gameplay. We have forwarded DICE the logs and memory dumps for each type of crash that we've seen, and they tell us that they are working as fast as they can on improvements for the next server version, which we expect to see soon.

 

We see these crashes on servers across our network, and all other RSPs have confirmed that they see the same high incidence of crashes on their servers.

 

Some of our customers have been testing different server configurations and believe that crashes may be reduced by running at a reduced player count, only running rush maps, running maps for more rounds, or using a longer mapcycle, but we don't have enough data yet to make concrete recommendations on how to avoid them.

 

No surprises there.

 

For configs and such that may get the bodies on server here's some threads to peruse:

There's a reason I said Hardcore Rush in the other thread. I also dislike playing on a server that isn't hardcore when sniping. Having to shoot someone 6 times while sniping to get a kill kind of defeats the purpose.

Hardcore also attracts more players compared to normal from what I've seen. And look out, I unlocked Mortars yesterday.

I've found myself only playing on Hardcore, mostly rush and 32 player servers..
