So people don't think i'm not trying to improve the server crashes, here is a list of forums I have posted in. I've tried everything that I have acess to try, besides changing server hosts. Which means starting our server rank and such from scratch.

And I have talked with 2 other canadian clans, who report there server hasn't been crashing this much.

Maybe some one is hacking our shit lol. There are 2 different crashes. The once when the server actually goes down and we cant join for 5 or 10 minutes. The other when we all get disconnected and the server does a quick restart. We can join right away. Just what i seen. There's a pattern here.

Brazone i think. but thats a uneducated guess

If it's any comfort I know you do a lot for the clan, even if we don't know everything you do, I for one know you are doing things to improve our clan experience.

While I'm at it, the officers in the clan also do much for us. It's all appreciated and I thank you all. If anyone knows what it takes to run a clan, they know what I'm talking about, anyone can do it, only a few can make it fun and memorable.

Bad compagny 2 has many bug. Maybe they are working on it. Crash server can be one of them. I hope it can be only that. If not canadaka i know you do your possible to fix it.

"All servers are being patched to server version R7 at this time. Changes/Fixes . Several common crash fixes. Especially those which have monitoring scripts that rely on the Remote Admin interface should see stability improvements. . PunkBuster can send commands to Remote Admin interface (so 'pb_sv_task 0 -1 ' works) . Veteran-rank handling corrected (it was broken in R6 and possibly earlier) . Switched back to Release version of the low-level networking library; less debug output but higher performance . Increased the initial server reconnection interval to 30+rand(30) seconds . PB GUID generation is now based on EA account IDs (it used to be based on persona names) If you have any questions or concerns please open a support ticket. Thank you. Branzone.com"

I really hope this stops all the crashing.

All servers are being patched to server version R8 at this time. Changes/Fixes - Workaround for the "player manages to join server twice" crash. Now the server detects this and refuses the player entry. Client might hang but it will not take down the server as well. - Workaround for the "cannot join player to any team" crash. Teams might get uneven, most notably SQDM sessions with 5v3 players, but the server should no longer crash. If you have any questions or concerns please open a support ticket. Thank you.

Might as well just skip to R20. Where the hell is the PB fixes!

Our server was upgraded to R9 this morning, hopefully that helps on the crashing!

Quote:

• admin.say command implemented - the output currently looks a bit funky on the game client, like so: Player: [Server]: <text> but with the next game client it will look like: Server: <text> • admin.yell to squad has changed (you need to specify both team and squad) • squad numbering has changed – the “no squad” squad has ID 0, and real squads are 1 and up. • Autobalance improved, it shuffles people both during and between rounds now, and does a better job. No way to turn it off via admin interface yet I think. • mapList* commands reworked • banList* commands reworked • listPlayers command added • admin.listPlayers command reworked (GUID, kills, deaths, ping and score added) • Players have non-PB GUIDs now (these are distinct from PB GUIDs) • onChat event reworked - now it specifies target player subset as well - shows text before profanity filtering - client-originated chat messages starting with “/” make it to the server, and broadcast via onChat, but are not broadcast to other game clients - use “/!<command>” if you want to be able to send commands to your homemade rcon tools without showing the commands to other players • player.onAuthenticated added (it’s triggered when a player receives GUID) • player.onSquadChange, player.onTeamChange implemented • Couple of crash fixes • Support for “region” setting

i don't see anything in their that relates to pb causing the server to crash.
