III/JG52_Llucmk Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 The servers are full in EU even at 4:00 am GMT +1... I don't like to fly normal servers with icons as many hardcore players and i would like to play in expert mode, but as you can see almost everyday it's full doesn't mind the hour... Please, expand the multiplayer server slots. They are not enough. At least 48 players in expert mode. P.D: 33 slots spared in two teams, it's not fair for one of them. 4
354thFG_Leifr Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 Agreed! This has been the weakest aspect of BoS so far, lack of servers.
Jason_Williams Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 Relax guys. We are still in early access. More servers will come after release. There are only 2 or 3 groups that we are working with to host non-company servers for testing purposes. You'll see more soon. In the meantime, just hop into the ones that do exist and have fun.

Jason Thank you for your answer. Release is still planned for September or we will have delay? 30% of development seems very much for 1 month... 1
FuriousMeow Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 Not more. Bigger please. Both will happen - but your plea matters nothing when there was a server that could hold 80+ players and there were typically less than 15 on it - and nothing more than 30 that I ever saw. Join the servers that support more players. 1
Felix58 Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 Wondering if the server can be adjusted so the maximum applies to pilots, allowing other players to jump in as gunners.
LizLemon Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 Whats the maximum number of people for a Rise of Flight server? I can't remember seeing a max player count beyond 40 or so.
=Valkyrja=Vikingr Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 Whats the maximum number of people for a Rise of Flight server? I can't remember seeing a max player count beyond 40 or so. There was servers with 100.
DoWSiq6Six Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 @ Jason. Quick fix to bring US server to 33 to match EU may help? Small, but it could make the difference Also, maybe in normal mode let us turn off automatic stuff, on an individual basis.

You can turn off automatic radiator and engine management with the appropriate keybinds under "Engine controls" tab in the controls menu.
SYN_Mike77 Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 Syndicate has had up to 75 on RoF server before. We had 60 playing today at one point.
DoWSiq6Six Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 You can turn off automatic radiator and engine management with the appropriate keybinds under "Engine controls" tab in the controls menu. I believe it still kicks in to stop you from blowing your engine. Normal mode, mind you.
AbortedMan Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 I believe it still kicks in to stop you from blowing your engine. Normal mode, mind you. Yeah throttle limit is server side, unfortunately.
Brano Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 (edited) I think 60 to max 70 players is more then enough for casual server with goal oriented missions.More players just cause more chaos on airfields (become overcrowded and when no taxi is forced,spawning one on each other and causing further chaos) Thats why I liked proper coop missions,players joining to fill in proper positions within fighter and bomber crews,massive take off for the objective etcetc.... In real,there were never so much planes in the air for given small area our maps represent.On standard day there were mostly individual sections of squadrons flying or more or less complet squadrons at most (staffels or otrjads as part of Istrebitelnyi polk).And often there was nothing in the air except some recce planes buzzing around. Only during big offensives you could see whole gruppen or mixed air divisions flying sorties.But that was really occasional.Most of time the sky was clear and blue Just look at records of best soviet fighter ace Ivan Kozhedub 326 combat missions, took part in 126 aerial combats, and achieved 62 kills = only every 3rd sortie there was some kind of contact with enemy planes and out of this he got 50% success of killing some enemy.And it was best soviet pilot! 2nd ranking soviet fighter ace A.I.Pokryshkin 550 sorties, participated in 139 air combats he scored officially 59 enemy planes Now imagine life of ordinary,average pilot....

6./ZG26_5tuka Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 (edited) Did you check the new Expert server? 65 people count. Yes you heared right ! Edited August 25, 2014 by [Jg26]5tuka
LuftManu Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 Yes, but with autobalance is the same.... they should disable autobalance on Expert servers
6./ZG26_5tuka Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 Yes, but with autobalance is the same.... they should disable autobalance on Expert servers True, after they tested it and didn't change it since than I fear it'll stay until user hosted servers are up again. Hopefully we'll get it removed from all servers some day (as well as the insane side change penalty...).
Brano Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 To put it other way around.We dont need bigger servers.We need MORE servers with goal oriented missions we can chose from. I am in mood to fly bomber interdiction of Don crossings near Kletskaya? I chose that server which runs it. I want to escort bombers on mission to stop advance of gen Raus 6th PzD at Verchnyie Kumsky? I chose that server which runs it. Am I in the mood to participate in mindless pew-pew online dogfight airquake arena (not likely)? I chose that server.... 1
BFsbonehead Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 We offered ages back to help out with dedicated server development.We we ran the very first IL2 servers in Europe and we still run the busiest ones now. Whats the chance of us getting the dedicated server code and helping out? If you dont want help just say so but the guys at Battle-fields.com have all invested in your product and they are all eager to get going with Battle of Stalingrad. So? 1
Phant0m Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 Did you check the new Expert server? 65 people count. Yes you heared right ! Fantastic! looks like it is filling up too. Wish I had the time to jump on and join in on the fun
III/JG52_Llucmk Posted August 25, 2014 Author Posted August 25, 2014 Did you check the new Expert server? 65 people count. Yes you heared right ! Well... you know what? I can't fly now... my PS3Eye is getting freezes all the time and f***cks my freetrack... I will have to buy another camera for 7$ xD...

Jason_Williams Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 We are not entertaining any more requests to host servers by third parties at the moment so please do not send any requests. Everyone will have the ability with the final product. Jason
BFsbonehead Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 (edited) So Jason, what was wrong with us testing servers? Edited August 25, 2014 by BFsbonehead
BFsSmurfy Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 ^^^^^ Especially as one of the longest running, best controlled and most populated IL2 server groups catering for all levels from virtually day one....dunno,,,pray tell.
SYN_Jedders Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 Im pretty sure that's not what Jason is saying. I suppose they are releasing software through the in house testing crew first. This is a controlled release as we know.
Jason_Williams Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 Guys, We are still in a testing and development phase. That is all. No one, I repeat no one should get worked up over this. For that we are working with only a couple people we have a deep history of working with to test things. Dserver is not ready for widespread usage and neither is the ME. This has to be extremely controlled. Jason
BFsSmurfy Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 Fair enough, that clears it up for us, thanks for the reply.
BlackDevil Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 (edited) 65 players EU experts looked stable, tested to up to 45 Edited August 25, 2014 by BlackDevil

I have never seen anything like it and i`m sure it makes the decisive difference. I mean, just look at the way the 190-threads imploded ( something that has gone on for..well, at least the last century). Kudos! 6 Edited August 26, 2014 by 6high
senseispcc Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 I did read in a magazine about PC games that no more than 5 to 6 % of gamers do play online, ok this make a lot of people but maybe it should be time to develop the single player side of this great game?! Possibble?! Maybe ?! 1
Chuck_Owl Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 Am I the only guy who fell out of his chair when he came upon the US Eagle Nest Server? We should organize a big sortie soon, Mastiff!
71st_AH_Hooves Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 Yes, the US Eagles Nest server is open! Weve worked out a few bugs, and more objective based missions will begin to populate as we test them. Please come play and give us your feedback!
Brano Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 Did not find that server yesterday evening.Looks like it is factory fresh Well,I am from central Europe = Timezone problem.Will check tonight how it goes.
JtD Posted August 29, 2014 Posted August 29, 2014 Just another case where I wonder if Jason has realized that there are a lot more competent people around than the very few guys he knows from RoF. We could have a working ME for release, if things weren't so controlled restricted.
