Concerning stats being saved

[generaltiger]

Hi there. I've heard from a few people a while back that stats were only saved if you stayed in the game the entire round. So, basically if you have a bad score about half way in the round, you can exit the server and the stats won't be saved? Thanks for clearing up the confusion for me.

No. Leaving in the middle of the round doesnt matter. Your stats are still saved. Only if a server crash occurs, are stats forgotten in the round.

Is that so? I'm sure I read somewhere that the stats are cached on disk, and if the server crashes the stats are sent to EA upon restart (maybe losing a few stats from the moment of the crash).

Might be wrong - but would be a sensible way to work. It's just a database and basic data recovery after all.

Would be a good thing to find out for sure with all the crashing going on.

Thanks

I know if you exit before the round is over you dont get the points. Just like if you disconnect/ get disconnected before the round ends and you receive a badge/medal/ribbon, that you will not receive it.

Also, I have heard the rumor about the server crash stat save, but I dont think you get the points if the server crashes. At least evertime I have tested it, after a crash I do not receive those points.
