R8 Release Notes

[10-78 Busterking]

Strange, many hours went by since R8 and people complaining about crashes and no replies here from NFO.

I opened a support ticket to roll my server back to R7 but was told they can't do that.

Same.

@Busterking

EA are just making NFO look bad.. it's annoying (you can imagine how they feel)

[jaythegreat1]

Just think guys... China Rising shows up in less than a month. Guess what that means, MORE bugs and crashes on the way!

Lots-o-crashes with R8 now, it seems.

Look like all of your servers (and most of the signatures in this thread) crashed around the same time. Blaze dumps?

That was when NFO installed the patch on our servers

My server has been up now for 7 hours and 48 minutes. This morning it was constant crashes. It's been pretty much full all day since the crash. Not sure if something was changed either at the blaze side or at NFO or I am just getting lucky and I will be crashing again soon.

I have taken Lancang Dam out of rotation due to the insane rubber banding and the pubbers freaking out saying that our server sucks etc etc etc, Shanghai was removed from rotation due to the client crashes when the tower falls.

Sucks both of those maps are a blast

lol within 2 minutes of me posting that it had stayed up the server crashed

[ADKGamers]

Yeah this update has been really bad for 2 of my servers. . the others are acting as they usually have been.

[markym]

Please revert my server back to R7 because I crashed FOUR TIMES in 2 hours with R8. Server lasted 4 days with R7..........

I'm having the same problem too since R8 -- I can't keep the server up for more than 2 or three maps and it's crashing. R7 I was much more stable with, now this is almost worse then pre R7.

John, please let EA know that R8 has made our servers completely unstable again. Whatever they did brought back the crashing.

It has been 1 day and 20 minutes since the last crash. Now I realize that I just typed that that we will have a crash There was a weird issue where every single person was kicked at 3:00 PM CST on 11.13.13. Not sure what happened there, the server stayed up but I could see in procon everyone was booted in a matter of seconds right at 3:00 PM.

There's not much to be said that hasn't already been said. We continue to send all our logs and crash reports to DICE, and they tell us that they're investigating the crashes. There's simply nothing more that we can do but wait.

I do not have good statistics yet on whether R8 is more crash-prone than R7 overall, but from the logs, it has the same types of causes for the crashes.

Yeah I am sure NFO peeps are sick of dealing with the bug ridden server rollout of BF4. I am pretty sure it has been proven it is EA not NFO and all any of us can do including NFO is wait for EA to correct the issues. If only EA had not wanted to beat COD to the finish line.
