BFBC2 Server Crashes - -a2k- Appetite 2 Kill Gaming Community

Hades663 25 posts	Yeah, im wondering if there isnt a hardware issue with our server? I have noticed, that our server is fine when it ramps up, if it hits 32 man for a certain length of time it crashes, it then will continue to crash if you try to fill it back up. Sounds like over-heating? Sunday morning we had that server full in 20 minutes, was jam packed, lasted for about 45 minutes then crashed.. Got it back up to 16 then crash again.. Annoying as hell.

GooseRSV 195 posts	From GS "DICE has requested that all server providers hold off on creating new servers while they work on an issue that is causing heavy server load due to the large number of servers currently running. A fix is in development to prevent the server browser from causing the heavy server load and new servers will be able to be setup and launched as soon as possible. Please note that while there is a delay in activating your server, your billing start date will only start once your server has been activated" Posted Mar 8, 10

GooseRSV 195 posts	good to know, mine still CtDT on top of EA login problems and server crashes, so isn't this just wonderful, yet I still play it and yell profanities at my screen Posted Mar 8, 10

I could be wrong, but when a game is really popular and large amount of volume comes sporatically the server has trouble doing so. Things will work out. People just have to be patient. I know you gotta get your levels fast so your not behind. Heck, I dont' even have the game yet, so ill be 1 when you all will bel ike 30+ or whatever the cap is haha. Posted Mar 10, 10
