64 Slot BF3 Servers - the longest yours has run without cras

[GitSum]

I am just curious. If you have a 64 slot BF3 server - what is the longest it has actually stayed up without crashing?

Our actually ran for 19 hours straight recently and then out of the blue, early this morning it crashed. Prior to r8 it wouldn't go much longer than 4 or 5 hours, so things appear to be improving

i just finally got mine filled today...and of course it just crashed

Last crash was 14 + hours ago but it hasn't been populated today. I think the longest was around 12 hours.

Mine, on average, crashes around a full map rotation. The longest has been three rotations, the shortest after one round.

It stays empty 90% of the time, and will only start if we can get a bunch of members to kickstart it. Most people don't want to just sit in an empty server hoping others get in to start it.

After setting my server to 32 slots, I decided to see what would happen if we went to 64. Changed the maps correctly (ConquerLarge0) and the server filled to 64 player capacity quite quickly.

We didn't finish two maps before the server crashed, of course. Then only a handful of players came back. It hasn't made it past 10 players since.

If it's not one thing, it's another eh?

Well, my server has been up and running at a full 64 players without crashing for 24 hours now. I hope it will stay like this!

Mine went for quite awhile today, maybe 10 rnds then crashed, but usually about every 6-8 rounds on avg. My server is filled to capacity 24/7 now and has been for a few weeks now.

Mine fills up and crashes after about 12 hours. I think it may be caused by the bullet damage but I can't be certain. I usually keep it on 120%, it feels perfect and everyone enjoys it. Apparently rejoining a server after a crash isn't the cool thing to do anymore though.



Its usually full from when I get home to when I go to bed... but 24/7 would be nice. After R8 the performance increased, but the server's popularity has dropped massively.

So far so good. It stopped rotating maps last night I just did a manual "Next Round" it has been up the whole time.

Looks like my server finally crashed this morning. It was up for 38 hours straight!

Wait so the version number for R8 is that? Why does my server show as version 879793? The events log claims it was updated to R8 on 11/5 yet it doesn't have that number. Funnily enough since that date my server traffic has been almost non-existant.

Do I need to submit a support ticket for this?

That wouldn't effect whether you get clients, but absolutely, please do contact us about that. All servers should have already been upgraded to R8, so that's a problem.

Is there a way I can see this on my game servers control panel? I have a VDS/VPS and went through all the tabs looking for the portion that shows Version, Map Pack, Update and didnt see it.

[Edge100x]

You can find it through rcon with the "version" command.

The game version comes up only rarely because servers do not typically run anything but the latest. If DICE continues to release an update every few days and they are optional, then I may look into adding it to the CP.

Damn! Crashed again! Now my server wasn't even up for 12 hours. It just crashed, and was an actual server crash (not disconnection) cause the server was put to the first map in the rotation.
