Server Not Filling? Try THIS!! (BF3)

[Daslol]

Sigh, look at all the mass DCs and even a crash.

Something done killed my servers at 4am pst. Trying to reset guid is not helping:(


Sadist of the sad face.

I believe John said something about some connectivity issues with Blaze in the early morning.

[Klikster]

My server seems to have had an issue at around 6/7AM PST.

But it started filling back up on its own. Super stoked.

The server browser was fixed so it doesn't show the same 150 servers all the time.. I posted about it on the last page.

I saw this posted on the EA forums..

"Battlefield 3 - Server Browser Fixes
Nov 07 2011 10:56:18 by Killing
DICE have given word that as of ~30mins ago there has been fixes to the server browser which should result in more servers getting a fair shot at being in the list of servers shown for any given criteria.
In essence the list is now larger, 300 servers, and is randomised."

Aww! Right when I had mine finally listed it goes and changes! I wonder if we'll be able to fill up even now. But, yeah, I do see that it now lists 300 servers. Wish us luck!

I may have to start using that incrementor again.

[TimSad]

I can confirm that it indeed has changed to random listings and I counted and it does indeed show 300 servers now rather than 150.

[globel]

does anyone have info on how they changed it or a link to the forum post that ea made about the Server Browser.

question...it looks like my server got up to 64 finally and then crashed...awesome...anyway im just wondering why the maxplayers didnt drop back down to 8 afterward? i had 4/64 on and i manually dropped it back down...

[Edge100x]

There's a delay in its dropping the value, in response to Battlelog not liking it going down.

Interestingly, I have a 64-slot test server in Seattle set up to run Rush and to use the auto-player-adjuster, adjusting from 4 to 64 slots. It never got to more than 32 players before, but now it's rocking 64 all the time. The game is returning 32 in serverInfo queries as the slot count, even though it has 64 players.

This demonstrates that, at least as of right now, the adjuster still works, and that Rush properly supports up to 64 players if you just set vars.maxplayers to 64. I'm betting that TDM is the same way with its support of up to 32 players (though serverInfo returns 24 at most).

Those of you with empty 64-slot servers, it might be worth trying this same setup. Rush seems to be a popular gametype.

I just noticed that clicking Quick Match does nothing.

Actually if you do quickmatch, I'm going to all normal preset servers.

[globel]

I used a crew of 16 and populated all my servers very quick. It seems though the qm now requires more players. It won't put people in empty servers like it use to. Hope they never crash. I hate seeding games.

[IcEWoLF]

Well MW3 is almost here and BF3 will start losing some popularity unless they can fix this browser issue.
Honestly I hate battlelog. I wish they stuck with a browser like steam in game...

The web browser is lame and weak.

[dapriest]

Try it, click quickmatch and see how many servers you get put in that are normal. If you run Hardcore you're not going to get Quick Match players.

[IcEWoLF]

We already tried non hardcore for quickmatch for our 64 slot for 2 hours today...no positive results.
