Default UPDATED: EA server maintenance on Wednesday 08:00 COMPLETE

EAIT is working hard to improve server stability. They will do a restart of the master servers around 0800 GMT tomorrow (that is, in 6 hours time from now).

Sorry about the short notice.

UPDATE: This has completed and servers are back up and running now.

You really should sticky this stuff Mikael. If you don't have the power, Baza or whoever give it to him, lol.

The rest of the DICE crew is unfortunately asleep (it's 01:40AM in Sweden)... Bump it, folks!

And if some mod sees this, please sticky it.

thanks for the info, fingers crossed it will help somewhat to the current connection/freeze issues (doubtful, but hopeful).

Is this restart going to start allowing new servers to be started?

I hope so.

Thanks for the heads up! I'm glad the servers are restarted on the morning, when I'm asleep.

Does this explain why my Rackage server is now "disabled" and incapable of restarting?

Mikael, is there a place online that explain the squad leader system and order system for the noobs?

i give out orders and nobody follows them because they don't know any better. i figured out most of it but others have not and that makes the game frustrating.
There is no squad leader by default, anyone can give out orders and when an order is given the tactical point symbol changes to let you know where your squad leader wants you.

i think people need to know how much more fun the game is when following orders. also, reviving is not being done enough. i don't think people realize that usually the top guy, the guy getting promoted fastest is the one repairing, reviving, healing and supplying, or that the game gives more points when you do that for your squad members.

Just saying, DICE made a fundamental change to the play mechanics and nowhere does it talk about all this. should be a training mode or an obligatory movie out there or at least a site that breaks this down and is promoted in game.

Fausto, there is no squad leader. Anyone in the squad can give orders.

But I agree, it's not obvious how it works.

Guess not - I see plenty of others servers up (have submitted a support ticket).

Anyway thanks for the news Mikael.

Also thanks for the dedication you guys are showing - still hard at it after midnight. You deserve a coffee, a doughnut and a joint.
