Error 12:4C when trying to Take Down Portal Server

I’m not sure if this is such a good idea.

i was running one of my own servers tonight and someone told me that someone else was running a duplicate of my server at the same time!

I looked on the browser screen and sure enough, someone was “hosting” my server!

I think the ability to host someone’s server is fine, but I think permission should be given before someone can host one of your servers.

They shouldn’t be able to just click “host this experience” and effectively clone your server without asking or getting permission.

I have no issues with someone hosting my servers, it’s kinda flattering.

some of my friends will host my servers if I can’t be online.

But the creator of the server should be able to agree to someone hosting their server.

Or, the server code should need to be provided by the creator in order for someone to be able to host a server that isn’t theirs.

Builder site map names still look like this:

Portal has some problems.

A server i opened last night is stil open.

It has no players in it.

And it will not let me shut it down.

So I can’t open a new server because it thinks I already have one open?! 

🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

Something is seriously wrong with portal since the update!

This needs urgent attention.

I opened a vehicle TDM server the other night.
I logged into the game the next day and saw the server was still active on the browser screen?!

I can’t close it. It won’t even give me the option to close it.

I can’t even join it.

There are no players in it, yet it is still open.

The game will not let me run any of my portal servers because it seems to think I still have a serve open. Error message says I have exceeded my personal quota - I assume it thinks I still have my vehicle tdm server open.

I cannot close it at all.
I’ve tried restarting the game.
Same thing.

I even duplicated the vehicle tdm server and then destroyed the original one, hoping it would clear it out the system.
But it hasn’t.

today, the old server is STILL showing on the browser screen?!

I need this looked at because I can no longer run ANY of my portal servers.
I had a large following of players that joined my servers. Now I can’t run them.

ad it stands, I can no longer play the game because I cannot run my servers.

the 3 or 4 dozen people that only play on my servers will also no longer be able to play the game now.

can I PLEASE have a response to this.

I have posted this issue on the update section of this forum but have had NO reply!

Please help!!!!!

Thanks

Update:

I’m on PS5 in the UK.

The server in question is called:

UK Hardcore - Vehicle TDM - 64 v 64

It’s still showing on the server browser and I can’t shut it!!

Update:

Map names on portal builder page are still wrong.

see attached.

Something is very wrong with portal.

Update:

Another thing:

Your bug reporting form is bugged.

you can’t select the platform you play on, which means you can’t submit the bug report!

What the hell is going on?!

🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

Update:

Suggestion to devs:

Can you take down my server.

You must have the ability to take down servers in the browser?

Please take it down because I am unable to do this myself.

Update:

So far:

I have posted several times about this issue with no response.

I have tried closing the server.

Closing the game.

duplicating the server and destroying the old one.

Nothing works!

I’ve reported my own server in the hope that someone will close it for me.

I’ve just phoned EA - I calmly explained the issue and said that someone needs to close my server. The guy talked over me, told me to talk to Sony?!  And then he hung up on me!!

What kind of Mickey Mouse outfit is EA?!

If this doesn’t get resolved, fine, I won’t buy your games. Simple.

joke

Update:

Just checked again.

My server is still jammed on the server browser.

That’s 4 days now.

Also noticed that there are currently 5 people playing any portal sever right now.

Update:

So today my jammed server is still on the browser screen.

Still no response from any EA person on this forum.

So I deleted game and reinstalled.

Retrieved all my game data.

Opened gane.

Much more of this and I will take the game disc and burn it out back.

The game is now unplayable for me - literally!
