Thanks WIH dudes!!

Yes, that's how it works.

Yes


Also, Hows the lag?
Varies with the maps. In general the pubbers are happy when I surveyed them sporadically throughout the day.


also...I love WiH
HugZ! :)

[CHAOS]

french kisses WIH



Pretty picture ehh?


Thanks gents for putting this up there. I was getting lonely on the other ranks... plus real lonely on WIH unrank... DAMN EA!!!

[wihadmin]

Thanks guys! It ain't perfect b/c the server code is still a little laggy and unstable. Luckily, a ranked server won't have problems filling up again.

Hopefully ranked servers code will get a bit more attention from DICE development team than unranked server code....

I'm really hoping that with the patch will be a win32 server version that is more stable than what is out now.

[karl_58sow]

Aside from the crashes it was the smoothest 64 person ranked server I've played in yet. But yea, defenitely gonna be spending a shat ton of time in there. Thanks =)

I deleted my post here earlier thinking I couldn't comment in thread that said Anouncements...but anyways..AWESOME!!! At first I was against all the whole "Ranked" thing(still am a lil) but begin that the non ranked server are always empty(lastnight only a handful of people) It seems like a breath of fresh air now that as a community we can all play together again :D Thanks WiH!! :ban_dance01:

[jwolly2]

Awesome.

I actually played the server before I saw this post. Gotta say, its the best server I've played so far... Lag issues were minimal for me, and I actually killed some people.

Thanks to everyone involved for making this happen. I have a feeling this will make my BF2 experience much more satisfying.

[ResJudicata]

awsome!!

[dbodenheim]

Rats, Im at work all weekend. Glad to see its up Ill check it out in the morning.

[wihadmin]

We are going to change the player limit to 32 bc 64 is just too laggy with the current version of the code. If and when they come out with a patch that will fix the lag, we'll increase the limit back to 64.

[wihadmin]

Update: Our provider is aware of the issues our server is having. They are moving our server to a bigger piece of hardware to handle the load.

On the issue of stats not updating. I was told that new ranked servers information have to be send to EA master server and then once that info has been entered, then it'll start processing our stats.

[Father Goose]

That's good to know, wihadmin! Those of you with sharp eyes will remember shooting me many times yesterday, and yet it didn't update my stats ;) Just tryin' to get the medic secondary since it's almost all I play. Something addicting about reviving people.

Thanks for the ranked server, guys! I have only found one ranked server besides WiH that wasn't a total lagfest. It's cool to play on a server with friendly, tactically minded folks who don't...err...teleport over hills and such.

Sahweet :thumbsup: Also, I think 32players is too small. I was thinking maybe 50players would be good, that is if this better server is not so much better, just an opinion. :hehehe:

[wihadmin]

On the issue of stats not showing up... here's what our provider said


EA just needs to authorize your IP for rankings to proceed. You have the correct binary, else the server would not show up as ranked. I don't know how long they will take to auth IPs due to the holiday.

So we're going to have to wait it out.

[karl_58sow]

So it is currently on a bigger piece of hardware? Did it get upgraded already? If so, once again, good job on addressing these issues with such haste. I want to play ranked!

[wihadmin]

It was moved to a different and bigger beefier piece of hardware. What we saw on this new machine was something a little different. The server was throwing the "connection problems" all the time. This is typical with this version of the server code. So we had them change the limit down to 48 players. This seemed to have drastically reduced the "connection problems", but it still did not eliminated. We hope that Ea will have a patch for the server this coming week that will address this issue. If so, then we will increase the player size up to 64 again.

[karl_58sow]

Yea, I agree I'm upset that EA hasn't even publicly announced THEY have a problem and not the server owners. You feel like that at all?

...On the issue of stats not updating. I was told that new ranked servers information have to be send to EA master server and then once that info has been entered, then it'll start processing our stats.

Will they be back logging for this weekend so all our pts achieved this weekend will be added once EA does put the WiH IP in the main server?

[wihadmin]

That's what I've been told. I was told that the stats are logging since our server is running the ranked server files. But with anything from EA, seeing is believing. :)

[DemonEyes]

I go to chicago for 2 days and what happens we get a ranked server, I don't say it much, but "sweet ass sweet" WiH is the best!!! :thumbsup:

[wihadmin]

Update on the topic of stats....

I've been in contact again with our provider. They said the EA-approved method is to send EA an email with the IPs of all the ranked servers that's being activated. EA had just replied to them today that they have recieved the list of IPs. However, they are not sure if the stats are queued up at EA or if EA's going to start fresh....

:dunno: fellas. WiH is trying our best to bring you the latest news on this. But it sounds like it is out of our hands and also out of the hands of our provider.

We apologize in advance if the stats for the past several days are not tracked by EA. And we thank you again for playing on our server!

[wihadmin]

Stats is now tracking properly. I do not see the stats from the other days though. I'm not sure if they're lost or if they'll catch up in the next few days. :dunno:

Also, the 48-player server is running smooth after the provider replaced a faulty memory module. We will be bumping it back up to 64-players on 64-player maps, 1 round each.

Enjoy and thank you for supporting WiH!

[hamhawk]

awesome.. too bad its full almost all the time /cry

The new patch (due out sometime this week) will fix most of the latency issues :)

Hiya hamhawk. Don't be shy. Get on TS and find someone to make room for you. Even if we put up 10 Ranked Servers, they'll all be full. :)

[Nsane]

One more week then ill be able to get the full version, aghh (pulls out hair) im missing soo much.

[wihadmin]

Server lagging bad today. I have opened up a trouble-ticket with the provider for them to investigate. In the mean time, I'm going to restart the game server to see if that helps.

[CP[]Zangetsu]

Sometimes the server lags but for the most part its pretty stable. Its nice to play in a server that does not have a lot of problems once in a while. Any ways good job on the server guys

[Nsane]

WOOHOO ima go get it here in minutes, got some unexpected b-day money!!!!

Thanks Zangetsu! Yesterday was a strange one, the server had been running smoothly for the previous 2 days. Then all of a sudden it was lagging really bad. We restarted the server the lad went away. Our provider said that the server code has a memory leak, so the BF2 ranked servers will be rebooted every day at 9AM CDT.

Take a minute and drop a self-intro in the Meet and Greet forum. Again, welcome to the community.
