Server Update This Week - Maxon - 04-04-2010

According to the Unofficial BFBC2 Blog...

Server update preview
The next Bad Company 2 server update is scheduled for next week, but there’s already a preview of the new fixes and changes, as posted on the EA UK forums by a server admin (we assume, as this is not an official DICE post):

admin.say command implemented
admin.yell to squad has changed (you need to specify both team and squad)
squad numbering has changed – the “no squad” squad has ID 0, and real squads are 1 and up.
Autobalance improved, it shuffles people both during and between rounds now, and does a better job. No way to turn it off via admin interface yet I think.
mapList* commands reworked
banList* commands reworked
listPlayers command added
admin.listPlayers command reworked (GUID, kills, deaths, ping and score added)
Players have non-PB GUIDs now (these are distinct from PB GUIDs)
onChat event reworked
player.onAuthenticated added (it’s triggered when a player receives GUID)
player.onSquadChange, player.onTeamChange implemented
Couple of crash fixes
Support for “region” setting

As mentioned earlier, the new update will be released next week. No news on when a new client update will be released, but expect at least one minor update this month.

omg yay and DICE is yet another step toward including the basic functionality that one would expect in a game that's any more recent than....doom.....  :-\

Hopefully this will fix some of the issues, especially related to people seeming to not "see" our server

That would be great so we can keep the server on Rush on Conquest instead of SD lol

Do you know when this is dropping? I really hope they fix the master server list refresh being so freaking long, I think that may be one of the main barriers to server populations.

Best part is PunkBuster sends a ping to EA's master server's every 20 minutes

Looks like it'll be next week for the update, which will bring a hopefully worthwhile client update.

"We mentioned last week that DICE would be releasing a new server update this week, it appears now that it has been moved to next week, with some added fixes, including a client update as well.  Details weren’t released, but according to DICE’s Barrie Tingle, they are in the process of testing the Server R9 update — with no word on the client update."
