46 man server

If it persists two weeks from now, we will revisit. Until then, we let EA do their thing. They have had 4 server updates this week alone, and have a client update slated......they are working on it. No need to panic.

And lol.......stitches and bleeding....puh lease. Have a muffin.

What evidence do you have other than "this one time I played on a server and it didn't crash" that a 46, 32, or 12 player server is any more stable than a 64 player server?

Edit - saw your reply after I typed mine. Go read Wile's post in some other topic about our server being up for 7 hours and 5 maps the other day. This is no exact science, this is EA.

Nah, I'll just take my ball and play elsewhere thanks though. It's an analogy that was never meant to be taken as same sevarity. I guess it's just easier be a dick though. Funny since you got all over Blonde for that kinda snarky attitude. Enjoy that black kettle.

You're right. It was un-needed snarkyness. I appologize.

No matter about any of this, everyone should be trying some Obliteration servers, I'm looking at you Tenrou. If you can get a group of people following you around I find they can be more fun than conquest.

There is no rhyme or reason to the stability of the server. We've had long periods of stability followed by a couple hours of chaos. I have a plugin that records all server crashes. I activated it on Nov 1st... right around midnight.

Crashes were as follows:

Nov 1 1:22am
Nov 1 2:46am
Nov 1 11:06am
Nov 1 3:56pm
Nov 1 5:42pm
Nov 1 5:59pm
Nov 1 6:42pm
Nov 1 7:03pm
Nov 1 7:31pm
Nov 2 2:59am
Nov 2 3:01am
Nov 2 9:49am
Nov 2 10:53am
Nov 2 12:30pm
Nov 2 5:23pm
Nov 2 5:26pm
Nov 2 7:58pm
Nov 2 9:34pm
Nov 2 10:13pm
Nov 2 11:06pm
Nov 3 1:00am
Nov 3 1:18am
Nov 3 1:27am
Nov 3 1:41am
Nov 3 8:52am
Nov 3 9:40am
Nov 3 11:25am

Now, some of these were automated restarts. Any time after 2am daily, if our server is empty, it will re-start. Some were due to patches applied by DICE. R4 was deployed to our server sometime after 6pm on Nov 1 and R5 was deployed to our server this morning, some time after 11am.

Some of the clustered re-starts were on our part. If the server wasn't showing up in battlelog after a crash, I would manually re-start the server to try and kick-start the process.
