Patch update for the server -so hopefully this will fix a few issues. Make sure you go to evenbalance and run a punkbuster update as well R5 update has been applied Oct 28 2011 12:21:49 AM PT Now that the PB problems have been resolved, we are applying server version R5 to all empty servers. Your server was empty at this time and we took this opportunity now. R5 includes some crash fixes but many more remain, including several that occur on mapchange. We anxiously await version R6!
R6 Patch updated: BF3 server version R6 has been released, and we are starting to roll it out to empty servers now. The changelog from DICE for this version is: * Fix for crashes usually occurring during level switches. Server providers may see a little bit of memory leakage instead in this situation * Game servers should no longer quit in some situations where the online backend servers are down. Server will reconnect to the backend once it's up again * Fix for ghost servers which didn't accept connections * Kick reasons should better match situations where they are issued. This will help battlelog provide more accurate information to the player * Connection fixes to avoid players sometimes being rejected while joining the game server on one of the last slots * Security updates * Improved server logging
Looks as though they may have fixed some of my biggest problems, crashing at map changeover and problems joining servers. By the way I should mention that at 3:15 pm EST Saturday the server punted everyone but the game was still progressing where it was when we re-joined.
