Servers Went Down - Blaze Issue?

[TimSad]

Looks like all of my servers just booted all the players and disappeared from Battlelog. They still aren't showing back up. Anyone else? This is at 12:15 AM PDT... Blaze issue at hand? Sounds like it as I'm able to mess around with RCon still!

Had the same issues yesterday at the same time (~3AM EST on 14th of April). All servers vanished from BattleLog, and all players were dumped.

They really need to get a handle on things. What do you think is the cause of all of these Blaze outages or whatever is going on here?

[CPx4]

Not sure. Ours stayed up today-- maybe it's a rolling outage (per day)?

I specifically stayed up to see if it happened again tonight. 2 were up before 12AM (PST), and 2 are still up at 12:30AM (PST). No sign of issues. Still in BattleLog just fine. Last night was a different story.

I checked my NFO panel, and I saw one of my servers was 'restarting'. I suspect it is the "when server is empty, restart" task-- and not the CAUSE of the outage.

ProCon was still attached and working 'fine' (except for the server that restarted) through all of it, so I don't believe it to be anything on NFO's side.

Aaannndd it did it again not even 20 minutes later! So unprofessional! WOW!

I just took this as an opportunity to restart the servers, although not really needed.

Okay, it's been 15 minutes and all three of my servers still aren't showing back up!

Oh, BTW, someone just now started a thread about this on the Battlelog forums... http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/fo ... 983981808/

There are some strange dips in the BF3 usage around midnight PDT that indicate a likely maintenance by an NSP or Blaze. We saw similar dips last night, repeatedly, and a big overall Blaze-related drop on Saturday at around 10:40am PDT. All in all, it's been a pretty bad weekend for Blaze.

If it makes you feel any better, it should come back soon! Ours were down for ~20 min.
(FYI: I see your "[-SoC-] Soldiers of Chaos 24/7 RUSH! - LA" in BattleLog)

Here's an EA thread from last night Umm, is there site mateinace? which shows just before 12AM PST.

Strange how other servers are fine while some are not.

Thanks Edge100x for the update.
