"Bonjour,Ce message est pour vous informer qu'EA opère présentement une maintenance sur leur master serveur, qui devrait aider à venir à bout des bugs vécus par plusieurs. Cette maintenance est déjà en cours, et afin d'aider à accélerer le processus, EA demande à tous les providers de fermer un total de 40 000 slot.
Nous allons fermer nos serveurs publics mais si vous voulez donner un coup de main à leurs techniciens qui travaillent jour et nuit depuis la sortie du jeu, nous vous demandons de considérer l'option de stopper vos serveurs par le game panel, et ce jusqu'à la fin de cette maintenance*.
Sachez que ceci n'est pas une obligation, mais plutôt un coup de pouce volontaire que pouvez choisir de leur donner. Nous espérons tous que ceci mettra fin aux problèmes de plantages de BFBC2.

*Fin de la maintenance: 3h am Amérique / 9h am/ France"

End of maintenance : 3AM in US, 8AM in UK, 9 AM in FR

Oui

I don't mind a lengthy delay in maintenance, id sooner they did that than have to stop start to get things rolling. I think they underestimated the rush on this, and it's all collapsed like a flan in a cupboard.

Anyway, I think that they will fix things, people really need to chill out and give them a chance.

And be very thankful you are not trying to join something called EANet haha !!!

Dedi servers ftw

If the game works when I wake up tomorrow, I think I can bottle the rage. If it doesn't, I will eat my cat.

Hardshock: some people have specific days when they can play and when they can't, so you can understand why they would like things they have paid for/anticipated to work at specific times.

[lollavid]

That explains it.

[Gut_You_Up]

Ok, I'm willing to wait and hope that it fixes certain issues.

[Fish225]

It sounds like you'll still be able to connect to SOME servers, just not all:

It is made all the harder by the fact of how great the game is, having played beta and loved it, felt withdrawl during the week between beta end and launch and then played through the awesome SP to now sit on my hands feeling like its been ripped from my grasp, is paaainfullll.

10 hours, that's a long time....
if they fix the annoying random disconnects and start up the ps3 store, i guess i can live with the wait..

[Bltz0r]

Man I hope it wont take that long, not played all day and thought I was going to have a all nighter.. damn it.

[Naminator236]

Why do we have to hear this from some French site?

Can't we get update people normally? Like say for instance, on all the official forums that are related to this?

Seriously lalala?

[scousejohno]

Doubt that, R5 rolled out this evening. Therefore all GSP's needed to update their servers. This would not have an effect upon the master server.

Also there would of been a communication on this forum, if there was going to be such a long downtime.

[showtime2391]

RIIIIIIIIIGHT WHY THE lalalala?? DICE would have told us. BUT ITS EA

[Tephra]

EA needs to stop choking on dollar bills and finally realize their master server needs to be untouchable.

They pull this lalalala every time a BF game releases.

[showtime2391]

WOW There are many swear words in this topic good for EA/DICE for that filter ^^

[MightyUcker]

I think we all should chil and go round to Bltz0r's house for a beer!!!!!!!
