Re: Not all servers or rented server shown in server browser
@EA_Blueberry, @EA_Atic ...
- Platform
Cyber: PS4 - Time of day (include timezone) of when your rental server disappears from the list (We recommend performing an Origin client restart/console restart first before confirming it's not showing up)
Cyber: It is 24/7 it can/will disappear. It happens as soon as the last player may quit the server. The server goes empty for players. When that happens, then instantly that server is no longer visible to anybody globally, no matter who, no matter day or time of day. No matter timezone.
- Origin ID or Gamertag or PSN ID
Cyber: Cyberdyme (for both) - SCREENSHOTS of the server browser filter from BOTH the favorites and regular universal server browser list with your filter selections.
- Have you tried resetting the server browser filter back to default and adjusted the player slot size to see it appear?
- Have you sorted the server list by ping, server player count, etc.?
Cyber: It has absolutely nothing to do with the local player's filter settings. We know the filter function is troublesome in BF4 but we do know how it works and have used it for years. And no matter the key data fields that you use for the filtering, the result is the same. Your empty server will never be found by anyone! Aka, use only the region field, aka use only server name field, aka use only BF4 map field, aka use only the game mode field. Our servers are gone, no matter! - I run a BF4 players community forum on PS4. Here I have approx 700 of my most regular players (global, so also some out of European region, where server is registered) communicating with me and my server admins. We have tested this with our community multiple times now. As soon as server is empty for players, then instantly it disappears visible to all our community globally. None can find it using their server search function. And it also disappears instantly from all those that have it on their server favorites list (also from my own list ;o).
- The symptom is EXACTLY the same actually what happens as you know happens when we as server owner do not pay for the server rental before the expiry date. Instantly the server disappears from the server search results and it also disappears instantly from all users's server favorites list! So you don't need to ask for screenshots. As this is how it appears for us all. Either the server is having players on it and all is normal. You can find it ion the server search screen and also its on the list when you go to your server favorites screen. And instantly when the server rental is expired and not paid for, then its instantly gone from those two directory lists of servers to play on. No error messages or anything. Its simply just not listed anymore.
