I just joined the 32man tfu server knowing it was empty, was hoping to get some practice flying heli's on my own for a while but it will not start the match without at least 8 players.

Does anyone know of a way round this? Nose diving a heli during a match is never cool.

Its annoying the hell out of me... I miss the days when you could just jump on an empty server and fly !!!
 
Some info on the servers:

These emails are from multiplay after asking why some servers can be so laggy:

Hi,

A fairly high cpu usage isn't surprising with a large server such as yours, we are currently aware of lag issues with Tehran Highway over about 30 players and DICE are working to resolve such problems. There has been a recent update to the server code, if you haven't already done so please stop your server, wait approximately 20 seconds and start it again via Clanforge > Servers. Please note a restart will not pick up any updates.

Please accept our apologies for any problems you have had so far and do let us know how you get on.

Hi,

The server seems to be running ok at the moment and with 63 players connected. The CPU usage for 63 players connected is at 63% which is not unusual.

Are you having any problems currently?

Hi,

There are unfortunately a number of crash bugs in the current server build as a result of coding glitches. We are logging all related crashes and have forwarded the issues to DICE.

One thing known to cause crashes is player kicks, so we would advise you to avoid kicking players for the time being. Proper banning syntax may work but also has some issues.

I'd be interested in this too. Was on a UK hardcore server yesterday and it was so much more fun. Just a team deathmatch on a smaller, restricted map. It was a lot slower paced and more tactical than the running around like idiots that tends to be the case in normal mode. I also love the fact that you don't have to keep shooting people for them to die. Often I am the first to spot an enemy and I still get killed. Here the guy who starts shooting usually wins the fight.

We have a Multiplay HC rush server with everything turned off...

Search TFU.
 
QUESTION TO TFU

Would you consider having your 64 man Conquest server a Hardcore server (instead of normal)
Seems your current hardcore servers are always more popular and you would then have 2 servers of each, just a request dont know how other people think with regards this?

Hey up mate,

This has been much debated amongst the clan, the issue we have is we want to compete in ladder matches etc... So we need to get used to the rubbish normal mode :( ... BC2 didn't have an active HC league so rather than mess about we decided to have a 64man CONQ server normal, for us to get used to the mode.

I know at this moment in time we dont have enough funds to fund another 64man HC server. However i'd love to have a 64man HC Back to KArkand server :D

2 of our servers will be going at the end of the month, i dont want the hassle of paying for them or filling them. Its easy to fill now, but months down the line will be different.
 
I tried playing on the TFU HC server last night and it wasn't that bad. However when the opposite team started filling up with TFU members and then when they proceeded to stack teams every game it got a little boring being ass whipped every single game. I gave up and went to a HC 16 man server. Oh and on the TFU HC 32 man there was hit reg problems too! Don't say its bad aiming because I can't exactly miss with someone right next to me...

There were 27 of us on mumble last nite and 19 in one room playing on our HC rush server, it would be kind of hard for us not to stack the teams. We don’t have the option to swap players, so when we eventually were able to join the server we were auto switched.

The hit reg is exactly the same on our serves as others, with the greatest respect it must be your aim as you’re the first person to mentioned about hit reg problems on our server. Whats more the HC server is most stable out of all 4 of our servers.

However if you feel pee’d off about us “stacking” I’l mention to the guys 2nite and remind them to try avoid stacking.

well they were kicking people who were owning them in the early afternoon so thank yourself lucky! :p

Very mature of you there Neo.

This couldn't be futher from the truth, only 3 - 4 people have kick right atm. The only people who have been kicked have been people who spend round after round using Mortar Strikes on base

That said none of you have to play on our server, there are plenty of other good servers out there. We like to play fair and keep the games fair. So if a few bitter ex members want to bad mouth us carry on ;)

So why were we losing every round when almost the entire opposite team had TFU tags? Ok maybe it wasn't mumble player stacking but it was TFU stacking or player skill stacking.

Like I said goon, I can't miss a person if they are next to me lying on the floor facing the opposite way to me no matter how much of a tard I am. To be honest I'm a pretty good player bragging or not.

Other people probably don't realise the hit reg is so bad but I'm very sensitive to it because I'm quite conservative with my ammo. I'm not a spray a whole clip into a person type of player.

Well ok mate thanks for letting me know, I’l keep an eye on it. But as I said you are literally the first person to mention it. We have some very good players in the clan who spend day in day out playing and not once have they mentioned about the hit reg. If you were stood next to him and you spun round to shoot, there is every chance that the bullet spray area would be huge which would explain why you missed? I'm well aware of how the bullet's and reg works and from my own opinion its spot on and tbh to me the whole "hit reg" problems on some servers is just a myth.

With regards to the stacking, like I said every1 in the server with the TFU tags on would have been on mumble, I can’t stop them wanting to play together. However team stacking is not what was going on last nite. Our member know the rules on team stacking.
 
hitreg tends to be as they done it depending on overall latency within some limits, some servers I hit really good, some its just not even close.
its better than bc2, but as far its not all around good IMO.

But again that comes down the stability of the server not this imfamous "hit reg" problems on some servers.

Like people say, "I get terrible hit reg on your server".... No you dont, its either your connection to the server is rubbish (latency) or the server is rubbish.
 
I've had some really enjoyable games on there but the admin team seem to be very inconsistant and hypocritical to say the least.

Hey mate, could you give me some examples? Very few people have kick rights, we only kick people to either make room or kick people who are spamming mortar strikes.

Can I also add that the game has only been out 5 days, we’ve not yet set any definitive rules in place, so yes things can be a little inconsistent atm.
 
The basic theme is around spammable explosion muntions, i.e. RPG/Mortar/M203.

THe few things which I can account for:

I play with flatmate who was kicked using the mortar, Though I told him he would probably be kicked. No issues there with him getting kicked, after it is announced that mortars aren't to be used... few maps later a TFU guy is using one.

Threatened with getting banned because I cleared a room of people with RPG and hit one of your guys as he ran in... I'd understand if I was spamming it, however he was just peeved at getting TK'd.

Then on the receiving end of M203's which doesn't bother me as it is all part of the game. But it is more or less in the same bracket as the RPG.

I'm Helier ingame btw.

Thanks for that info, its always good for me to hear these things outside of TFU.

We don’t actually have a rule against using mortars, nor would i wont to limited items that DICE have put in the game. However if someone is constantly spamming them and doesn’t seem to use anything else then we’ll warn a few times and then kick. If a member or admin threatened to ban you then like anyone who uses our server you can report them on our forums under “admin abuse section” and I’l take the necessary steps. All we want to do is give people a server which is fair and not make them rage quit :D

I for one use the RPG’s, I don’t spam it, however if there is a room full of people then too right I’l use the RPG!!

people then suck to counter them.
or they like to camp, move around then they are a no issue.
server admins that limit weapons basically just suck at the game and should go play mw3.

Dont know if this is aimed at me or not? But Did you read what i said?

Another server up and running,

BasstoMouth | CQ | Normal | OcUK

Could do with a couple of people on it tonight for testing how Tehran Highway performs with a 52 Player limit.

Also has a 1 player start limit, so if Caspian is on you can practice flying heli/jet's


Open to any suggestions for changes to the server, feel free to drop me a message in trust if needs be.


Just in case you weren't aware by putting the player start limited to 1... it removes you from the "quick match listing"

Let me know if you want your server adding to the front page, add it @ www.gametracker.com
