1.4 servers unstable?

[Quemical]

According to a guy on the official forums, this is the response he got from wolfservers.

"This is from Wolfservers:

We have just gotten confirmation that if your running PB with
Auto Screenshots enabled that this is a cause for server crashing.

If you have enabled this feature please turn of Auto Screenshots.
This should resolve a good deal of server crashing."

I have never run PB with Auto Screenshots enabled and my servers crash 2-3 times a night. My RSP Branzone stated that this is normal for 2142 servers.

Is anyone using another host which their servers are not crashing?

We're using Gameservers and have only had 1 crash since 1.4 came out, but our server isn't exactly what I'd call a high-traffic example. Pretty much the only time we've seen it active is when I and my buddies get on there together and bring it to life, then other people join and it fills up, but if we don't provide that critical mass to get it started, it stays dormant the rest of the week. Once in a great while I'll take a peek at it and see there's a game running, but not often.

I don't know if other people call it this or not but that's what the community that I came from started calling "seeding." It's like a fun game for me for some reason. I ask for help on TS or the forums to seed the server when it's at 0 players then with a few of us there it usually picks up pretty quickly.

Sorry for going off-topic. I just felt the need to say that. :)

We have had servers with MyIS, Insomnia, and now we are with Wolfservers. There are the same problems with all of them crashing which leads me to believe it has to do with the game, not the GSP. However, before 1.40 our Camp G server almost never crashed, while our titan server would crash 2-3 times a day. Now, our Camp G server will crash a couple times a day and our titan and Tampa AL servers crash 3-4 times a day.

We have never enabled auto PBSS and our server(s) is crashing a lot more since the latest patch was released. What the hell did they do during the extra months they postponed it for testing? Or better yet, what did they actually test during this time period? They said that this patch was supposed to improve server stability, something must of gone terribly wrong. If anyone finds any information regarding fixes for the servers please let me know. EA cannot leave the game in it's current state, it would die out faster than it already is.

Auto PBSS is not the cause. I don't know why Wolfservers would actually try to spread that BS.

It's the game itself. Before 1.40, my Gibraltar server would go 2-3 days before it would see a crash. Now it crashes about 4-9 times a day.

I cancelled both my ranked 2142 servers last week. We tried Crysis for a few days but the server and client problems are ten times worse than 2142 so that died fast. Our clan has moved on to Call of Duty 4 for now. At least that is a stable game to run servers for.

EA needs to actually test games and patches before releasing them but hell, they have been releasing defective games for years and making millions in the process.

We've got the same problem on our camp gib server, and we've just disabled auto PBSS, it hasn't crashed since and has been running for a few hours, so fingers crossed and hope that you're wrong about it not being the cause :P

Thanks For Speaking Up..........

Same old BS with EA, as I and many others have continued to speak out about the total lack of customer support. Most of the players realize that EA is only out for the quick $$$$$$ but we continue on playing hoping that conditions might change. Doubt it though........ sooner or later I'll get bored and just move on to another game.............with more support....maybe?

since 1.4 i have been getting kicked by lost connection, kicked by loss of connection to master server, kick for no reason given, and kicked by punk buster, no message. it does not happen every night, but it happens often enough, some nights its very bad and i've been kicked from some very good games. i dont know if its 1.4, but it never used to happen like this. i mean some nights its very unbearable.

[Minmaster]

yea is this related to the DST issue we had just prior to the patch's release?
