Steam is down for maintenance from 6pm PST to 9pm PST

Nothing that involves Steam's network will work between these hours.

it shows lat/ping but you can't sort by it.

from what they say the server browser in release has more features, i would assume that is one.

the guy at mynetworkservices told me the server admin tool was going to be better than the one used for prior battlefield games. i think it is going to be all web based which will be nice for everyone.

CombatTesting is doing the tool...should be very good, from what I have seen.

Quote:
Combat Studios says:

We have also set-up a special website for this tool at bfbc2admin.com and of course we tweet as well twitter.com/bfbc2rcon. On our website we've already posted a preview screenshot of our work in progress.

We hope to publish our first alpha version (with GUI) within one - two weeks. This version will run on Windows, Mac and Linux!


Short update

bfbc2admin.com posted a short update on there website.

So, the GUI starts to come together quite fast now. I think it won't take much longer before I'll be able to release an alpha version into the world. There will be some known issues:

• Server can't send text messages to the server
• To enable ingame admin stuff you need to have the client running somewhere
• You can't ban by GUID
• You can ban by IP, but you can't see a players IP (thank you DICE)
• Everything will be case-sensitive, this will be fixed later
• You can't see what the current settings are.

Most of this issues (in fact, all of them) are caused by the current RCON protocol. Hopefully DICE implements some more features before the game gets released.

they have over 3 weeks. im sure they will fix all the biggies by then and release patches as things go.

so i decided to pre-order using steam. i REALLY hope they release the game immediately and not face some lame delay like they usually do.

btw, for those who bought from steam, can you not install it yet? normally with preorders you can install it but simply not run it until the date...

Just the beta is available for download for now. I’m sure we won't be able to pre load it till like the day before release like most games I’ve pre-purchased off steam.

yeah no pre-load. you can normally pre-load with Valve games, and every great once in awhile a different pub will allow it - but as a general rule if it's not Valve no pre-load

Basically yeah. When the Steam sale for the Crysis Maximum pack was available last month the shit really hit the fan as far as DL speed goes. People were getting 110k/s with 30mb connections.

just as an FYI - if you can install the game some other way (ie borrow a friends disk) , then

1)start your download on Steam , pause it immediately.
2)install the game into the directory steam made for it (Steam\SteamApps\Common\battlefield...)
3)right click the paused download in steam, and select "properties"
4)go to the local files tab, select "verify integrity of game cache"

steam will see that 99% of the files needed are there, replace the exe with the steam one, and you're done. I've done it many times to save from DL waits.

@PVT I highly doubt it. It is beta, not jump start or anything so the chances of any of our stats staying is less than none
