Battlefield Bad Company 2 - Turning Off Inactive Servers
Mar 11 2010 15:39:27 by Killing
Due to the continued issues with the EA master servers, DICE have requested we turn off servers which aren't actively being used by players.


As we want you guys to enjoy this excellent game with as little problems as possible, we are going to be turning off all servers which have had 0 players for over 8 hours.


Please note that this is a temporary measure, which we hope everyone will support; however we also appreciate that some of your may not want your servers turned off so if you would like exclude your server follow this simply process:-
Goto ClanForge -> Servers, select your server and Click Edit
Once in the edit screen configure your servers "Auto Restart Interval" to something other than None e.g. 1 Week
Save your server


Note: All restart intervals for BC2 have been reset so even if you already set this option you will need to set it again.


Just to confirm this will only effect servers if they haven't seen a single player for over 8 hours so there is no need to worry that your server will be turned off when its full.


done,anyway auto restart set.

EA has restated its "extensive paid digital content plan" for Battlefield: Bad Company 2.

During today's Wedbush Morgan financial conference, lead money-man Eric Brown said game owners will have "multiple opportunities to spend five, 10 or 15 dollars on additional content in the next six months or so".

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 was another high-profile champion of Project Ten Dollar - EA's new initiative to provide DLC codes to first-hand buyers, who can redeem them for extra content worth around $10.

Brown said 85 per cent of BFBC2 players had activated their codes.

Brown also mentioned "extensive" DLC plans for Mass Effect 2, another of EA's Project Ten Dollar games.




While EA and DICE have previously referred to an "extensive paid digital content plan" for Battlefield: Bad Company 2, the developer has said it wants to avoid charging for maps.

"We don't ever want to charge for our maps and insisted to EA that this attitude was crucial when it came to keeping our community happy and playing together," DICE senior producer Patrick Bach told Xbox World 360 (thanks CVG).

EA's Eric Brown has previously said that fans can expect "multiple opportunities to spend five, 10 or 15 dollars on additional content in the next six months or so".

Like Mass Effect 2, EA rolled out Bad Company 2 with a redeemable code that entitles users to free access to a certain amount of downloadable content - the first examples of which, the Arica Harbor and Laguna Presa maps, were due out on 30th March.
