Re: BF4 on VDS

I'm not sure that limiting supply would have helped anything. Customers looking to buy BF4 servers would have just gone with other hosts, where they would have seen the same issues (and worse), and those staying here would have not seen any difference from having fewer customers on our network. We ...

Re: BF4 on VDS

The only suggestion I would have would be a measure of pre-release testing on your part before you sell a product. It wouldn't take much to have run a test server during beta, see the issues and anticipate (based on prior releases of EA products) the types of problems your seeing. On top of that you...

Re: BF4 on VDS

To be fair, that's the game industry :/ I don't think there is a game on the market today that didn't have a rocky start. On top of this Dice is somewhat known for releasing games on a rocky start. BC2, BF3, MOH:W all had these issues. Asking us not to support a triple A title simple doesn't makes ...

Re: BF4 on VDS

I don't necessarily agree with quality that BF4 was released in, but we have to make the best of it :/ At what level is NFO responsible for the performance of the game servers they choose to sell? What is there level or responsibility? Any? This is a bit like buying a bad car and the dealer says..o...

Re: BF4 on VDS

Wed, Nov 27 2013 9:17am In light of this how do I cancel my BF4 slots and close the server at the end of the period? This has been a waste of time and money for us and our guys are so discouraged about the poor performance they no longer wish to play or admin the server. I understand that the game i...

Re: BF4 on VDS

Funny that the VDS issue was never mentioned when I first complained about our performance in a help ticket. Tue, Nov 5 2013 8:45am We have our admins reporting that our server lags horribly whenever we reach 40+ players.I know lots of players and communities are complaining about lag in BF4 but wha...

Re: BF4 on VDS

Just as a suggestion (NFO) you might want to make the BF3 / BF4 / RO2 warning popup a little more pronounced on the order page. It would probably save everyone involved a lot of time and money. That and just cap the order page at 48 slots. No point in paying NFO or EA for slots that are only going t...

Re: BF4 on VDS

We have a VPS, the six core option. We run Battlefield 4 on it just fine. Well, as fine as anyone runs BF4. Monday-Thursday we run 4 40m servers. 36players, 2cmmdr, 2spectators. On Friday-Saturday we run a 70m server. And make sure you listen to what the NFO guys are telling you. The server runs gr...

Re: BF4 on VDS

If ..."generally we recommend against running BF4 on VDSs as they generally do not get handled well in a virtual environment." Then why continue to allow people to rent them? Part of the reason we have a VDS is be able to add servers as games are released. If that hardware is not, or does ...

Re: BF4 on VDS

Followup: We have never heard that VDS's were an issue and we didnt have any problem running BF3 on our VDS years ago. If its not going to run well then why even allow people to sign up for it if they are wasting their money and going to have bad performance? If this is your recommendation then we w...

BF4 on VDS

I posted this: The lag on our server is so bad that we can't keep players on it. Its utterly unplayable. We have removed maps that are known to have lag issues, cut our players down from 64 to 48 and paid for high priority CPU usage. Anything else we can do. Normally I would mention the NFO performa...

Re: Arma 3 Dedicated Server package

Ive done that but the package itself seems to be missing some elements and or I lack the knowledge to fill in the missing bits. I see no missions directory, no config, battleye or users directories.

Arma 3 Dedicated Server package

BIS is releasing keys for the Dedicated server package that you can activate on Steam. I have one and am trying to install it now. This package is different than the server app that comes with the full release of the game. However I haven't been able to find isntructions on how to deploy it to our V...

Re: Arma 3 on unmanaged vds - help needed.

I thought maybe it was the mission so i went back and loaded the BIS Escape Stratis mission that comes with the game. Played 30 seconds and the server crashed.

RPT file attached....

Re: Arma 3 on unmanaged vds - help needed.

Please post your .RPT file in order to see what was happening at that particular time. Also, this seems to be a OS problem, what kind of Windows Server version are you using? Any additional 3rd party mods/add-ons installed? rpt attached. The server is running Windows Server 2008 No additional addon...
