or they rebooted procon. dunno

Yea, I dont know, but I dont think it was because of a reboot, since I did that like 10 times since I installed the update. Thanks for all your time and looking into it.

It didn't show up for me right away in the Procon pluggin list either, but I went to my Procon Layer server and did a quick restart on each of the multiple layers I have and it showed up right after doing that.

Not to sound ignorant here but, here goes anyway. I have 2 questions. I had a player in-game last night whose country was N/A and had a weird looking flag. Selecting their name displayed an IP which I was able to trace to Barbados using a trace tool site. He stayed on the server for 2 full rounds of conquest and never displayed a country or proper flag.

 

Question, if I was able to trace the IP, why couldn't ProCon?

 

I noted "N/A" in the list of countries. Would adding N/A to my list of disallowed countries keep this type of player out?

The answer:

 

... the country code is based on the information about the ip of the player based on the GeoIP data provided in the GeoIP.dat. Source of that data is Maxmind.com. There is a chance that that information is not up2date or differs from what you can find by using RIPE database.

I think the datafile is outdated, but don't know if we can supply an updated version.

Are there advantages or disadvantages in selecting that?

But I don't know how frequently it is updated compared to MaxMind's commercial product.

 

Also you'd probably have to do some file format editing to turn it back to a .dat

public string GetPluginName() {

return "Latency Manager";

}

 

public string GetPluginVersion() {

return "1.0.1.7";

 

What's the problem?

The ping kicker has two methods of kicking, an instant kick, and an average kick. The average kick allows for you to define both the number of samples to use, and the minimum samples before acting on the average. In BF4, kicking is currently possible in Official mode.

Just want to double check...I thought kicking wasn't possible in Official mode currently?

Kicking via gameserver/RCON commands is not possible with "official" servers.

However, if the plugin is running under BF4, it defaults to a PunkBuster kick which still works for "official" servers.

I do not understand the question. Installed the plugin files are copied to the folder procon

Are you connecting DIRECTLY to the game server, or are you connecting to another procon hosted elsewhere, that is connected to the game server

We thought this plugin only kicked players but doesnt ban them.

Procon installed on my computer and connect to the game server remotely

Ah I see!

 

Why not make an option to enable/disable official mode?

Even easier, I should probably put a check on vars.preset, or whatever variable it is..

 

I'll do that tonight..

Well this pluggin pretty much just go screwed over on Official servers now...it was nice keeping the high pingers away while it lasted...

 

BF4 server version R11 (91697) has been sent to us and DICE has asked us to deploy it immediately. We're in the process of packaging it up and will be sending it to all servers within approximately 30 minutes.

 

The easily-determinable public portions of the changelog (which is all we can provide at this time):

 

- Admins can no longer kick players on Official servers using PunkBuster :mad::mad::mad:

- The tickets can be set to up to 400 on Ranked servers (up from 200) and 500 on unranked servers

- The idle timeout can be set up to 86400 (24 hours) on Ranked and Unranked servers

It would probably be better anyways so the pluggin doesn't have to "rekick" those high pingers that try to come right back in.

I put a BF4 post up about these restrictions they have on official servers and how trashed their balancing system is also...
