mmm weird today 16nov18 on my 24/7 Zeebrugge server the skill based balancer works together with the mid-round balancer but on my st quentin server only the mid-round balancer works https://battlefieldtracker.com/bf1/servers?platform=pc&name=evdg so it is NOT always the case that the skill based balancer is deactivated by the mid-round balancer. So maybe it isn't like 5 months ago where the mid-round balancer disabled the skill based balancer. 27sep18 the patch changed something in the mid-round balancer > https://forums.battlefield.com/en-us/discussion/159285/battlefield-1-autumn-update#latest : "Fixed an issue where the mid-round team balancer wasn’t aware of players from pre-round."
I also made a reddit topic on this issue https://www.reddit.com/r/battlefield_live/comments/9tj531/no_october_patch_then_at_least_disable_the/ no 2 topics > https://www.reddit.com/r/battlefield_live/comments/9ozw2x/on_all_pc_servers_the_after_round_skill_based/
It seems the bug starts in the 1st round of the day and then never stops till the server becomes empty (also the other way around, when it has a good start where both balancer work then it stays working every round the rest if the day on that server) : https://www.reddit.com/r/battlefield_live/comments/9ybdus/battlefield_1_pc_i_found_something_out_about_the/ > with that knowledge I tried to go to "server admin" > actions tab : restart round, in 1 of my full servers this morning but it didn't fix the issue. I hoped it would activate the skill based squad balancer but it did not.
On 7 December 2018 the mid-round balancer has been deactivated on all pc servers and it had the opposite effect. In may 2018 that solved it for the more important skill based squad balancer, it became fully functional and maybe they thought it would be the same again. But it had the opposite effect now it never works. I made this topic on it https://www.reddit.com/r/battlefield_live/comments/a55m9w/pc_bf1_yeah_it_still_exists_on_all_servers_the/ So now it is from bad to worse.
14narch 2019 there was server maintenance it fixed this 2 balamcers being bugged problem on irish pc servers but my german server still has the problems. I made a topic here https://www.reddit.com/r/battlefield_live/comments/b8ziba/bf1_pc_14_march_2019_there_was_a_server/ it has been 6 months now. FIX IT. The majority of European servers are german. COPY PASTE the settings of the irish servers to the german servers.
2days ago I contacted some devs on the battlefield discord - first time I did that. And Indigowd said this about it : "Thanks. We're aware of these issues and are looking into them 😕miley:" plus danmitre also replyd and said this : "Hey! Thanks for notifying me. Have you put this into the Answers HQ bug tracker?" and then I gave him this topics link, so I have hope they will look into it. This evening I saw so many fullcaps again on my quentin scar server, so many unbalanced games since the 27se18 patch.
