Console Servers

I've watched with interest that BF3 will now have servers for consoles which appears to be a first. While this isn't something I'm interested in, it is a recognition of the value of having gaming servers versus P2P matching. Just curious, is this something DICE is providing themselves, or are they u...

It was the same problem for BC2 as well. I forget what they called the BC2 backend but mostly the same kind of issues. I wish they could get this right.

Re: bandwidth limit

Just to verify - is it prevent excess bandwidth usage or to give priority to say a gaming computer over another running downloads? If its the later then many routers can do this. If its the former, a way to back into it is to use family filter - you can then manage the type of downloads, when they h...

Re: Battlefield 3 Server Banners

Back on the OP - has anyone figured out how to get the banner to work for the server browser?

Re: BF3 Patch notes released today! 2/23/2012!

Yeah, I saw this earlier. I couldn't help but notice there was no line that said "Made Blaze and Battlelog not suck" I agree blaze sucks. But most people I talk to really like what Battlelog offers and how it works. Could it be better? Sure. But it seems to me that most like what it does.

Re: box art for the new medal of honor

And announced. Looks like danger close (never really heard of them) developing this one. The last MoH was done by two studios and two engines: DICE for MP using Frostbite and Danger Close for SP using Unreal 3. Reports suggested it felt cobbled together. This time its all Danger Close using Frostbi...

Re: PB Kick Issue

The official word:

For players who were getting kicked yesterday due to corrupt file/memory, this issue was solved yesterday evening and was because of a version mismatch between the updated client and Punkbuster.

I haven't seen anything official from DICE. So can we set our PB configs back to normal?

PB Kick Issue

DICE released a new patch today and PB is kicking most people. This is the second time this has happened and once again DICE is saying "play on non-PB servers" until they fix it. I went into the control panel to temporarily turn off PB but I'm unable to do so - the check box is inaccessibl...

Re: Server Queue

This is what's posted as what someone "heard" - which means its just a rumor at this point - but maybe an avenue to explore. The join queue function you are referencing is currently in testing. Ultimately, they hope to implement a VIP function that will work very much in the same way a res...

Re: Question for gaming community owners...

I'm not an expert but the way I view this is it is similar to you incurring an expense for a charity (e.g. church, school, etc.), and then you submitting an expense for it. The charity would reimburse you for the expense and would not count as income. The gray area comes from the unofficial nature o...

Re: Players now getting banned because of hackers..

Not DICE's fault.

The community asked for PB and streaming to be available. Which is still the best available option. So we need PB and GCC to solve this.

Re: Server Glitch

I have had this happen in the opposite direction as well. Switched from HC to Normal and I didn't get a HUD until I disconnected.

TBD - this is a small issue - I would rather them focus on VIP slots, spectate, battle recorder, VOIP, fixing Blaze, etc.
