Automatic updates..

[FourTwoFour]

Is there a way to update the server when the round is done or when it goes empty? These updates only break the game anyway and having them as automatic is annoying. Everyone lost their points because of that.

No, according to Edge100x, all servers must be updated immediately when a new update rolls out as EA has required of them.

Due to the nature of the updates and the files that are changing, all servers must be updated at the same time. DICE also requires that we update all servers right after the update comes out.

Thankfully last night's update (and the previous one) at least happened in the early morning hours when usage was low.

btw I hope you guys don't take this personal. My hate is towards EA and only EA. Not only can we not play the game properly, but they're also making you look like a bad provider because the servers randomly crash.

We really appreciate the support. We're doing all we can to control factors that we have the ability to influence (machine performance, routing, control panel, and so on) and to support DICE in investigating the game problems. I've been providing them feedback on all of the bugs that have been mentioned here in these forums, and I'm glad that these concerns are being brought up.

Speaking of updates coming out and the immediate application of them. Can we get an event when an update is coming say 5-10 minutes prior to release? That way we can send a message to the server to ask people to rejoin. Instead of the update being pushed, dumping a full server, and then getting a notification that an update was pushed.

An event is posted at the time it is applied to your server. In most cases Dice requires us to deploy immediately so we don't have time to but in cases where we are allowed to schedule a time we do post an event letting customers know we have it and plan to apply it at this time.
