Server size problems

Post by .=QUACK=.Major.Pain »

We originally have been finding issues with TDM dropping to 24 slots when we should be able to have 32, but tonight I have seen Caspian Border Large also drop to only allowing 24 slots.

I don't know why or what is causing this, and with EA's brilliance of not allowing us to view the server logs to see if we can find out what is causing it, can staff please look and see if you can find out why this is happening.

The map started at 11:35pm est roughly, so hopefully you can narrow it down to that area of when the round started for Caspian Border.

Ok - it seems to be allowing more people in.
Server shows 27/24 in the admin panel now.

But our server was 32/32 on the previous map, and on map change, it dumped 8 people to 24/24 when Caspian Border came up.

Going to watch the next map change and see how many are in on the next map.

Watching the next 3 rounds, the server fills up to 32 players,
the map changes, and there is only 24 players again.
The server fills up again to 32, and the map changes,
and there are only 22 players. Again it fills to 32 players,
maps changes again, and there are only 23 players.

Funny that it's not only 2 or 3 or 4 people that might leave,
but always enough disappear each round to drop you to 24 or less.

Intentional on EA's part? I know our members complain of constantly
being dumped from the server on map change. Some crash, and some
get the infinite load screen.

This has happened to my server since launch but I figure it has something to do with the 24 player cap only at the start of a new map. We kinda just ignore it and carry on. As it only takes about 2 minutes and we fill back up to 32 players.

If you have a TDM map in your cycle, the game seems to limit other types to showing 24 slots. Or at least it did in prior releases.

Forgot to mention we are a 24/7 TDM server. My apologies.
