Yes, it is. They stated all kinds of configuration must haves in the documentation but they were not enforced. I was not conforming to their quickmatch rules and we routinely asked how people joined in the server and there were people who said they joined via quickmatch. So it seems you only need to be ranked - or at least that is the way it used to be.

Until you provide logs substantiating your claims, I don't believe you.

Disable Adaptive Quickmatch. It will be removed from the next release, as it has been documented that QuickMatch does not require specific values for these variables.

Oh ok.

 

So does quickmatch still include my server then even though the variables are changed?

Most likely. To see which servers are included, check out the docs yourself:

1) Download http://static.cdn.ea.com/dice/u/f/bf...inistrator.zip

2) Open "BF3 PC Server Administration"

3) Read the QuickMatch section on page 11.

Configure a Server filter in the Server Browser, and that filter will be used when using Quick match"

Right, but that has nothing to do with the round start values. That just means that, for example, if a player selects "Free slots: 1-5" and "Mode: Conquest Large", they will be taken to a server that matches those values when they click the Quick Match button.

Logs of the plugin console with debug messages turned on in the plugin and logs of the PRoCon console with Events turned on.

I don't know about you guys, but it always worries me just a wee little bit (in a back of your mind nagging kinda way) when the official documents from the developer tell you something like this DOES matter but it is determined that it isn't actually working. Kinda makes me wonder if we'll wake up some morning and without any annoucements the switch will be flipped so that it DOES work the way they intended it to in the documentation.

Well, it's not exactly like that in this situation. Originally, it was documented that the 8/4 values were required for QuickMatch, which is why I included this in the plugin. However, it was observed that it wasn't actually a requirement, after all. Subsequently, the supposed requirement was removed from the documentation, confirming that they never actually never intended on enforcing it.

1.3.0.0 (12/09/2011)

- added optional messages to encourage players to stay when server is just getting started

- removed QuickMatch options, since it's been documented that setting the variables to 8/4 is not required

- minimum server size no longer restricted

- fixed multiple restarts after server stops responding for a minute at the end of a round

I think he forgot to insert something like this into his code:

Code:

else if (strVariable.CompareTo("    Display messages until how many players are on_") == 0 && int.TryParse(strValue, out iValue) == true)
			{
				this.m_iMessageMaxUsers = iValue;
				
				if (iValue < 1)
				{
					this.m_iMessageMaxUsers = 1;
				}
				else if (iValue > 8)
				{
					this.m_iMessageMaxUsers = 8;
				}
			}

Is there an explanation exactly what you have to adjust? When I activate the plugin, everything is displayed correctly on the server-4/8/16/24 etc. but the players from joining, and can all have a black screen, und not come on the server.

All players have a black screen? If that's true, it's unrelated and you should restart your server. If it's not all players, you should provide more information about what type of server you're running, what the server size is set to when you start PRoCon, and when the error starts to occur. Turning on the debug messages may help you figure it out, too.

Your English is very difficult to understand. I still don't know what's wrong. No one else is having this problem.

The old QuickMatch options didn't take effect until after 12 players were already on the server, so the fact that your server remains empty isn't related to the fact that it was removed.

Ich schätze mal, dass du aus Deutschland kommst. Poste deine Frage mal in Deutsch hier, dann übersetze ich es.

 

@falcontx: I guess he's from Germany. I'll translate the question for you if he posts it in German.

I can confirm this, though i have not figured out why. Until recently, we received unlimited connections to the server using this plugin. Now it just doesn't seem to send the server quick-match players anymore.

 

Apparently higher ranked servers get quick-match players before other servers do, however my server is ranked quite high (among the top few hundreds) and yet the plugin doesn't seem to work as well as it used to.

 

If anyone else experiences this, or has an idea why this is happening, let us know here.
