Battlefield Bad Company 2 - Turning Off Inactive Servers
Mar 11 2010 15:39:27 by Killing
Due to the continued issues with the EA master servers, DICE have requested we turn off servers which aren't actively being used by players.

As we want you guys to enjoy this excellent game with as little problems as possible, we are going to be turning off all servers which have had 0 players for over 8 hours.

Please note that this is a temporary measure, which we hope everyone will support; however we also appreciate that some of your may not want your servers turned off so if you would like exclude your server follow this simply process:-

1. Goto ClanForge -> Servers, select your server and Click Edit
2. Once in the edit screen configure your servers "Auto Restart Interval" to something other than None e.g. 1 Week
3. Save your server


Note: All restart intervals for BC2 have been reset so even if you already set this option you will need to set it again.

Just to confirm this will only effect servers if they haven't seen a single player for over 8 hours so there is no need to worry that your server will be turned off when its full.



Of particular relevance to those of you with clanforge access this weekend
