Re: Battlefield 3 Server Issues Since Mar. 6, 2024

So, a server admin of a server I visit a lot had a bit of a test, and think they may have found the cause (possibly).

They had quite a few maps on, and with map voting on. They reduced the maps down to three, and turned map voting off.

All worked well, battlelog was showing correct people in, correct map. The server reboots daily, and it still worked for two or so weeks.

Then, they popped the map voting back on. Was working still that same night, but once the server was rebooted (its the hosting company that does it), the server had issues.

Taken map voting off again, and its seems to be working again.

So, for any of those admins out there, do you have map voting on? Just curious if that is the cause.

I'll ask when I'm next on which plugin they use (via Procon) so it may help others if there are a few versions etc.

We've known about it being a map voting issue. However, it's also a more than 1 map issue as the server still has to be restarted without votemap. Just takes a lot longer for the crash to happen. 

hello again, just adding more than one map to the server will create the problem even without the voting plugin,

the only way i'm changing maps during game time is waiting for the round to end then going to map list, remove the running map & adding another one, right click set as next map,

all this in this small window between rounds, this way the server will stay stable & accepting new player without issues,

if you do this during the round it will create a problem most of the time denying new players to join & back to square one, 

i hope they will fix this issue one day

EA / Battlelog / Dice ,, who ever * it up 

thanks

For the changing of the map in your server, do you only have one map on now by default, hence removing the current map and adding a new one?

If so, I'll suggest that to them, I'm assuming that also on server reboot it stays on that new current map (when they mentioned to the hosting company there was issues as they thought it was just them, the company reboots daily).

Hopefully they can fix this (I say hope, as they have issues of releasing a patch and breaking things)

yes i have only one map by default & i'm already have my server set to auto restart daily before this issue started to happen,

just leave one map, any map in procon map list always & change it in game if needed at the end of the round when count down starts for next round.

Bumping this back up to keep the server issues to ensure EA continues to ignore the issues. 

Okay EA, we will buy BF3 from you with your Battlelog servers. Just fix it and give us the price as money is all that counts for you

Battlefield 3, 4, and Hardline Being Delisted This Month on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 

"Servers for the PC version of Battlefield 3 will be unaffected by the sunsetting, EA clarified, as will Battlefield 4 and Battlefield: Hardline servers on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC."

We still have problems with our servers after last maintenance. 

Servers disappear from Battlelog, won`t let players join while everything looks good from admins/mods side. Our servers are not the culprit.

Come on, I know it`s marked as "solved" but it isn`t solved at all. We are aware BF3 will be killed by you one day, but let us enjoy this magnificent game to the very end. 

@EA_Leeuw please remove the solved status from this post until it's solved, we as admins & players still stressed facing an unknown form of problem caused by EA & who ever is running battlelog & you still didn't find that whole in the wall caused by some kind of nerd who thinks he did great by changing some kind of code since April WHAT A SHAME

get your *** to work & fix our game & what we paid for, what on earth you are waiting for ?????????????????? 

I guess they treat "solved" topics as a spam. Its probably pointless but how about making a new topic? 

yeah let's goooo

we moved this topic to a new one so they can see it's not solved :

https://answers.ea.com/t5/Battlefield-3/Battlefield-3-Server-Issues-Since-March-2024-quot-NOT-SOLVED/m-p/13864373/highlight/false#M141641

Still "under investigation" since March ?

No moves , no fix , no answer , no consideration , at all

I (we all) think that they just hope we gonna give up , and stop renting servers , then stop playing BF3 

For ? They can kill the game as planned

No regards , Bryan

from my side 

my server will still be running till the last minute

have friends that wants to buy the game & join again the bf3 community

they must fix this issue & start planning on relaunching BF3 2024   with same maps & game play but more resolution etc,,,

let's keep this post banging in their heads & ears

cheers
