Share your procon settings!

Post by IcEWoLF »

Share you BF3 Procon settings here.
I'd like to know what you guys are doing to keep your servers full.

Also is quickmatch still broken?
Hour and half with 12 people in the server....and server didn't fill up.

Might want to change one server to rush.
All your servers are on conquest and 2 on the same map.

First off Hardcore attract more gamers.
we have no problems keeping our 3 servers full if we seed them for a hour or so.

We have a 1000 ticket 64 conquest set on air maps
A mixed server 32 rush/conquest
and a 2x tickets 32 conquest.

With the amount of servers online you need to find a server setup that will attract players. Find a server setup that puts you outside all the normal server setups.
I changed the 64 man server from basic map rotation to 1000 ticket airmaps 4 days ago and it only empties when it crashes

From what I have heard repeatedly, 1000 ticket servers crash most frequently. I run it at 600, and that may still be pushing it. I'm still not too sure about HC and how effective it is. Seems to attract more CoD players then anything. 8O

At any rate, trying to separate yourself from the pack is key.

I've run 200% tickets (600) since about day one on my Metro server, ticket counts have little to nothing to do with the crashes.

I run a 1000 Ticket Metro/Bazaar server, 32 players. It maybe crashes once a day, if that.

R10 has provided some ticket issues, though it might be something else..

I don't want to speak too soon, but it looks like it's actually working!

We're testing with B3 and found that its runs flawless compared to Procon. For example, direct messages to users works way better, and the amount of built-in commands is crazy. It also takes up less memory. Right now we're running procon with b3 for statistics on the server.

The only issue is getting players in our server, we seed for 1 hour and its full until nighttime hits, and then it empties out. Typically we have a country kicker on but I'm thinking of removing it to allow for outside north america players to play.

I wanted to test B3, but I don't know enough about linux to even try.

We use country kicker, but only restrict Russia.
If you look at pbbans, 70 % of the bans are from there.

i used https://adminhostingservices.com/ for my b3. Actualy i got a VDS for 7.95 and they installed and setup 3 diffrent b3's for me for all my servers. I use xlr stats... www.raidenbartos.com/bowstats

they helped me set that up too. for 7.95 unlimited servers... i can aslo run procon on it.

b3 is kinda cool no plugins like procon but the stats and echelon kinda make it cool.
