Post servers down
I know we've been complaining a lot about the connection problems but now EA is supposed to be working on it, that,s why the servers were down when me yeti and apey tried to play last night. Honestly, i remember when bf2 came out and we had the same problems and we had to deal with them for a whole lot longer... the game has been out for a week or 2 and im glad to see theyR'e working hard to fix it.

Quote:
Tomorrow, 12th March, and Saturday, 13th March at 8:00GMT/9:00 CET:12:00 (midnight) PST, EA will take the servers down, this time we will come up with even more hardware with more capacity to handle all the BFBC2 traffic. Once the maintenance is complete you will experience an improvement to your online experience.
...
Since launch a week ago, BFBC2 has already put EA servers through the following stress:
The 4 different soldier types have gathered a score of more than 34 Billion.
There's been more than 400M kills made.
1.3M roadkills
Squads and Teams have assisted each other to 6.2 Billion points.

those numbers are pretty crazy

I gotta say that EA is failing to provide the infrastructure that the game needs and that they required to provide. For a month of beta they should had a pretty good idea of the server load.
The BFBC2 team is not clean neither, they failed to fix the friends list with a month of time to fix it.

BF2 had the same thing. It did take them longer to work on a fix but I would assume that they would prepare better for a second big release rather than take a shorter time fixing the same problem they had years before.


On the bright side they ARE working on a fix and they ARE implementing special stuff for the PC version with the community feedback, which is a huge deal.

Questor is telling me on FB that his brother's RANKED server is up and running.

If you have the IP apparently you can connect directly, he's saying they were playing till 1am last night.....

Not sure if anyone's tried this - I'll get their IP today.

we were able to play all night last night using the server browser, the servers were still up at 2:30 am CST. They are just taking them down around 4am est for a few hours, they are normal the rest of the day

You can't connect by IP (for now, will be able in the future).

You can add a server to your favorites provided you have the unique hash code that the server has assigned and edit your GameSettings.ini with that code.
