This is strictly a server side update and there is no client updates .
Here's the breakdown:
DICE have released Server Update R21 this evening to address issues with the in-game chat system. R21 has the following changelog:
- Spam filter for text-chat: If someone sends 5 messages in 10 seconds, that player is muted for 60 seconds
- Text chat can be muted across an entire server
- Individual players can be promoted to “admin” (cannot be muted, spam filter does not apply) and “muted” (never allowed to text chat)
- All settings configurable via Remote Admin
- New configurable text file: textchatmoderationlist.txt located under Default Config Files in the Game Panel. Please see docs for configuration.
- Updated server docs available here: http://static.cdn.ea.com/dice/u/f/bf..._Docs_ServerAd ministrator.zip
Some people are probably wondering what happened to R20, unfortunately there was a bug in R20 which prompted the immediate release of R21.
Although this is an optional update, all servers will be forced to R21 by Sunday, 29th at 6am BST (assuming no issues are found.)
*** I am glad to see that DICE is addressing the text chat priority, the lag, crappy hit boxes, lack of maps, and connection issues are NOTHING compared to chat spamming. :nod:
The above info is based on information given by one of out OTF admins.
