SERVER

Post by BOBO » Sat Jul 09, 2011 1:18 pm

Are you guys ever going to fix the server? Crash's everyday, every hour for the last month now and you know every time it crash's you lose your points. Its not your Server host because our server is hosted by the same host as yours. Either you guys pissed someone off and they keep crashing the server, i dont know what it can be but gets old your down to 30 tickets and the fking server crash's, please get this fixed, thank you

@ BoBo Who host your server and out of what city?

The bots have been absent for some time now also. It has been hard to get games going now without them.

That does not really mean much. We can have same GSP, same location - but we can be on different server racks.

Due to the randomness of the crashes, we can safely exclude personal interference. Add to that the fact that multiple servers crash at the same time, from the same location - and the odds that this is a hardware issue, it's more logic. Once you dab into hardware, it can be anything - from a faulty NIC to a bad memory stick.

Nobody is more invested into resolving this, then us - who are devoting lot's of time and energy into this server. Like anybody else, we are expecting a return on our investment - and seeing the server empty or crashing, it's not our idea of good times.

If we were to switch racks or GSP's we would lose the IP and all the data on the server. Pretty dramatic with no guaranteed improvements.....All GSP's have issues from time to time.

Hopefully this will be resolved soon, and in the mean time I would like to thank all of our regulars who are helping the server going again, after a crash. Much appreciated!

Well written Mega, although one must also consider GS's (or any GSP for that matter) priorities to include logical as well as the physical hardware in resolving such issues. Considering BF2 is now 6 years old it is no doubt at the bottom of the food chain with a ton of huge resource hungry games hanging over it today. This can be said sadly for EA's support side as well :-(

As for the GSP offering to move the server to another rack or location, of course changing the IP and killing the server, is essentially them saying we are not willing to do anything further to resolve the issue. I personally have owned a BF2 server with GS and finally accepted that route to no avail. Actually two moves in all with the same issues every time. Furthermore, I am aware of other individuals and clans of whom suffered the exact same plight and with BFBC2 as well.

Sad but true, they just don't care and will never be truly honest with you :-(
