R11 Patch Discussion

Post by ADKGamers »

The easily-determinable public portions of the changelog (which is all we can provide at this time):

- Admins can no longer kick players on Official servers using PunkBuster
- The tickets can be set to up to 400 on Ranked servers (up from 200) and 500 on unranked servers
- The idle timeout can be set up to 86400 (24 hours) on Ranked and Unranked servers



Discuss those points, plus while it's not said let's see if server stability is any better!

I really don't understand what they're trying to accomplish with Official Servers.

Are they trying to kill players off from running them entirely?

Team Balance right now is terrible and by far the largest complaint I receive because the option is locked and doesn't work for shit. Now there is no ability to kick a player. How does Dice/EA expect players to financially maintain servers exactly? What depend on only a clan?

Ridiculous.

I tried to set my idle timeout using the Easy Setup to 86400 and it would not allow it.

86400 (24 hours) doesn't work, but 3600 (1 hour) does work via Procon. NFO, could you please update the panel? When I enter 3600 there it says:
The idle timeout is restricted by the server to between 225-375 in Ranked/Official mode. This setting has been cleared.
I can only do it via Procon.

Actually, 3600 sets the server to custom and the tickets are also not working. Please send this to DICE.

Its all servers not showing regardless of provider. We have some members who rent from another provider and theirs are not showing either.

So increasing the tickets or idle-time still pushes the servers to custom aye?

If I change the idle timeout to anything other than 300 it shows as custom. :? Sigh. I'll find out tonight how the stability of all the maps are now.

same here, can not setup Idle time beyond 375.

I also agree that the auto balance sucks. :evil:

I changed ours to 3600 in startup.txt, restarted, and the server is still showing as 'normal'.

Can we set this as 0 to disable, or isn't that allowed?

First DICE allowed premium owners to jump the queue on servers DICE doesn't pay to keep running. Now we can't police the servers we rent if we want to receive traffic from quickplay. What more proof do people need to see that DICE doesn't care what we want or say to them.

I wonder how long until DICE removes "Rank" mode. That way the "Battlefield Experience" will be the same on all platforms. :roll:

EA/DICE are like Nazis when it comes to THEIR "Official" servers. Why in the world would anyone rent an Official server that they can't administrate??

Anyways... has Aggressive join been enabled with R11??

Same old story really.

We need the play now traffic to keep our servers full so we have to do what EA/Dice wants.

None of us really understand the decision, so it just is what it is at this point.

Option 1) Run a Ranked server, get no play now traffic.
Option 2) Run an Official server, get no administrative abilities.
