I have now seen a problem similar to those reported above (details below), but I can confirm that it is not caused by Adaptive Server Size. The problem happened even when I had the plugin disabled and typed in vars.maxPlayers values manually. It may be a game server bug related to CTF.

 

I have CTF set up for 40 max, 6 min, with +4 increments, so when there are 6 players on the server the max is supposed to be increased to 10.

 

However, this morning I saw that serverInfo was reporting 6 players and 6 max. I disabled the plugin and tried manually entering vars.maxPlayers values greater than 6, no change. I restarted the round, no change. The value for vars.maxPlayers was being returned correctly, whatever I last set it to, e.g. 10, but serverInfo continued to report 6 players, 6 max. I wasn't able to clear it without rebooting the game server and dumping out those poor 6 players.

 

I haven't scanned the logs to see what sequence of events lead to 6/6, but I'm pretty sure it's not Adaptive Server Size's fault.

Months ago DICE has fixed this bug where the server got stuck an a certain amount of slots.

But if it's the case again, the 'old' maxPlayers-bug may have returned.

 

There might also have been a connectivity issue between your servers and Battlelog, causing the server to NOT change the slots.

 

I haven't had any issues with it though. My 3 servers are running CTF to start the server.

Every start of a round the server gets set back to maximum slots before scaling down again.

Personally, I found 64 player CTF to be a super camp fest and not very fun. 40 seems about right. Still a lot of camping to the point where I now call the mode "Camp The Flag", but at least once and a while someone can score a point. With 64 we went round after round at 0 vs 0.

Anyways, back to EBastard and PapaCharlie9, I had a feeling it might be something like that, as the code for the plugin has been working fine for months, now, and there should be no differentiation between game modes.

Stupid question, but have you guys made sure you didn't cap CTF to 32 players? Check the plugin settings on the bottom!

 

This is how I have mine set:

I'm getting the same problem where it reaches 32 players and becomes stuck until I disable it.

All my servers are running End Game at the moment: CQ, CTF and RUSH.

 

I never have an issue with this plugin NOT working. It never fails on the 64 slots server currently running CTF, our 64 CQ End Game or 32 CTF / RUSH server. It never fails. Never locks up the slots.

 

Really wondering why some of you have issues....?

Any way of adding a white list?

This has been answered many times before. The plugin just turns on/off the server-side idle kick and the server doesn't offer a white list.

Here is a link to my post on battlelog forum: http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3...4625503342826/

 

Please confirm that bug, so we get help quickly.

I've been helping DICE to fix this bug back in May - August 2012 and it is considered fixed.

 

Since the bug was fixed back in August 2012 with server R28 I never have encountered this issue ever again. And I'm using Adaptive Server Size every day since.

 

You have any more details about when it happens?

Do you use VIP slots with aggressive join? What's the server setup?

 

If this bug has returned, I would like to see if I can duplicate your issue.

 

But I guess this is just a hickup, happening when the server may not have contact with Blaze and the changing of the slots does not get registered by the Blaze backend.

I've fixed my server problem by deleting the server config file and started again, works a treat now.

However they have been doing maintenance the last couple of days and it may be the cause of it.

 

Edit: It got stuck again even without the procon layer and adaptive server size on

Once the server is back and accessible in Battlelog server browser, sometimes the slots get locked at the last known server slot size prior to the blaze. Sometimes it may be 8, 16, 46 slots or whatever other random number of players were playing on the server at the time shortly before the blaze incident. This doesn't happen often due to our servers being full most of the time. It has become a problem due to the frequent blazes during the last weeks. Maybe the plugin doesn't realize that the round started with 64 players although the settings are correct in the plugin itself. Also, sometimes the slots don't get locked in the server browser but upon joining the server only a random number of players can load into the round i.e. 8 players and the 9th, 10th, etc. joining players get stuck in a blackscreen and can't load into the round. That can only be fixed by pressing end current round.

me too! Only my aftermath server- this happens almost whenever the server restarts. It gets stuck on 16 or 18 or 36. Its really random on what number it gets stuck at and the only way to fix this is to rotate to the next round. This only appears to be happening mostly on Aftermath- all others do not get stuck as much.

How is the server popping working now and could someone show me an example of thier setup (.ie 44448888) for the Adaptive Server Size? Thanks a bunch and glad to be back in the community.

I tried manually changing the number on my hosts website control panel, even that didn't work. Didn't try the "change to next round" as some had suggested - I'll do that next time.

    • EZRCON Update (9/4/2021)

      Prophet731 posted a topic in News,

      Game Server Hosting:

      We're happy to announce that EZRCON will branch out into the game server provider scene. This is a big step for us so please having patience if something doesn't go right in this area. Now, what makes us different compared to other providers? Well, we're going with the idea of having a scaleable server hosting and providing more control in how you set up your server. For example, in Minecraft, you have the ability to control how many CPU cores you wish your server to have access to, how much RAM you want to use, how much disk space you want to use. This type of control can't be offered in a single service package so you're able to configure a custom package the way you want it.

      You can see all the available games here. Currently, we have the following games available.

      Valheim (From $1.50 USD)


      Rust (From $3.20 USD)


      Minecraft (Basic) (From $4.00 USD)


      Call of Duty 4X (From $7.00 USD)


      OpenTTD (From $4.00 USD)


      Squad (From $9.00 USD)


      Insurgency: Sandstorm (From $6.40 USD)


      Changes to US-East:

      Starting in January 2022, we will be moving to a different provider that has better support, better infrastructure, and better connectivity. We've noticed that the connection/routes to this location are not ideal and it's been hard getting support to correct this. Our contract for our two servers ends in March/April respectively. If you currently have servers in this location you will be migrated over to the new provider. We'll have more details when the time comes closer to January. The new location for this change will be based out of Atlanta, GA. If you have any questions/concerns please open a ticket and we'll do our best to answer them.

    • EZRCON Update 5/13/2021

      Prophet731 posted a topic in News,

      Hello All,

      I wanted to give an update to how EZRCON is doing. As of today we have 56 active customers using the services offered. I'm glad its doing so well and it hasn't been 1 year yet. To those that have services with EZRCON, I hope the service is doing well and if not please let us know so that we can improve it where possible. We've done quite a few changes behind the scenes to improve the performance hopefully. 

      We'll be launching a new location for hosting procon layers in either Los Angeles, USA or Chicago, IL. Still being decided on where the placement should be but these two locations are not set in stone yet. We would like to get feedback on where we should have a new location for hosting the Procon Layers, which you can do by replying to this topic. A poll will be created where people can vote on which location they would like to see.

      We're also looking for some suggestions on what else you would like to see for hosting provider options. So please let us know your thoughts on this matter.

    • Procon, Database & BFACP Hosting

      Prophet731 posted a topic in News,

      I wanted I let you know that I am starting to build out the foundation for the hosting services that I talked about here. The pricing model I was originally going for wasn't going to be suitable for how I want to build it. So instead I decided to offer each service as it's own product instead of a package deal. In the future, hopefully, I will be able to do this and offer discounts to those that choose it.

      Here is how the pricing is laid out for each service as well as information about each. This is as of 7/12/2020.

      Single MySQL database (up to 30 GB) is $10 USD per month.



      If you go over the 30 GB usage for the database then each additional gigabyte is charged at $0.10 USD each billing cycle. If you're under 30GB you don't need to worry about this.


      Databases are replicated across 3 zones (regions) for redundancy. One (1) on the east coast of the USA, One (1) in Frankfurt, and One (1) in Singapore. Depending on the demand, this would grow to more regions.


      Databases will also be backed up daily and retained for 7 days.




      Procon Layer will be $2 USD per month.


      Each layer will only allow one (1) game server connection. The reason behind this is for performance.


      Each layer will also come with all available plugins installed by default. This is to help facilitate faster deployments and get you up and running quickly.


      Each layer will automatically restart if Procon crashes. 


      Each layer will also automatically restart daily at midnight to make sure it stays in tip-top shape.


      Custom plugins can be installed by submitting a support ticket.




      Battlefield Admin Control Panel (BFACP) will be $5 USD per month


      As I am still working on building version 3 of the software, I will be installing the last version I did. Once I complete version 3 it will automatically be upgraded for you.





      All these services will be managed by me so you don't have to worry about the technical side of things to get up and going.

      If you would like to see how much it would cost for the services, I made a calculator that you can use. It can be found here https://ezrcon.com/calculator.html
