Our BC2 server is up and running and the details are as follows:
Name Deadmen.co.uk - Dead Men Walking
IP address: 85.236.102.67:22067
Admin:
Admin details and other such stuff are being sorted, so be patient over the next couple of days so we can get things in order.
Tag:
Anyone with a current gaming section badge must use dMw. as their tag in BFBC2 - i.e. dMw. for existing badge members.
Anyone without a current gaming section badge must not wear any form of dMw tag.
edit: PEN - updating tag info
Thanks TL, great job as usual. :flirty:
Awesome, just simply awesome! :yahoo:
What might be the map/game mode rotation ?
Good news. It is not showing up in gametracker yet. Hopefully will be on a noce powerfull box there are 6 other servers on that IP at the moment. Multiplay are normally very good so I am sure they know what they are doing.
:D
Fantastic, excellent work TeaLeaf :)
Great News:yahoo::woot2:
Hmm, server keeps kicking me, is it patched up to date.
The game installed patches after startup and allowed me to connect to one MultiPlay server, but dMw and another just kicked without any reason.
Also hangs when trying to add it to favourites.
Although the server info shows no 'ping' either.

Same here, I managed to join there earlier but now even that doesn't work. Also the adding favorites just hangs.
I can connect to servers showing a ping, but -=[dMw]=- doesn't show a ping.
The game detected and installed patches upon first startup, so it may be a patch level issue.
Normally MP patch server automatically unless requested not to. Weird one. From the official forums it does seems some steam games are having issues with pings showing so it may effect other versions.
Try opening these ports and see if it helps
18390 TCP Outgoing
18395 TCP Outgoing
18395 UDP Outgoing
13505 TCP Outgoing
80 TCP Outgoing
This is from the official forums
The server seems to have been up since this morning without any downtime. Let's hope this is just a 'glitch' in the game code that will be sorted asap.
It must be to do with the "Connections problems" advertised on the news ticker that runs along the bottom of the main screen.
I just got onto our server to find another 11 peeps on there running around, so it looks like "Teething troubles".
I can now add it into 'favourites' and it's showing a ping.
That's good news. They are meant to be releasing a server patch to all GSP very soon if not already done. What is the ping and performance like?
Ping for me is 10ms and at idle it uses about 10% CPU. Not followed load yet when the server has all 16 slots filled, but it seemed fine with 14 on for most of this afternoon. But then my internet connection terminates about 6 yards from the Multiplay server racks :P
16 slots I thought the server was a 32 man server? The game plays much better with a full server.
If the game needs it and support warrants it we can increase it to 32 slots if needed.
hmm.. difficult finding it.. perhaps its to do with the ip thingy blunt gave me..
dMw's server is now 32 slot.

If this were Facebook I would click the "Like" button.
It's great news. Didn't want to seem ungrateful for the 16 slot, but for a lot of the maps the extra capacity will make a serious difference.
And we're having no problems filling it. 32/32 within the first map of the change.
Great News! :yahoo:
Excellent - my only problem is getting on its always full (which is good I know) :)
Is there any way to see the server without firing up the game?
HLSW won't see it:sad:
Awesome to see so many friendly names out there. But what does people think about the Friendly fire ? I think it is on atm so you can kill your own team mates.
In my own opinion it is better to be off as there are some narrow tubes we are running in and so easy to run on someones line of fire and get your self killed. This is just so run and gun type of game too. So what is the official decision ?
Am I right in thinking that HLSW doesn't work with BC2?
If so, is there a way to look at the server and online status?
Thanks

they added a new hamster to the server setup!

There's still a fair few people with tags other than the agreed dMw. prefix
Would they mind changing them to the agreed format before they level up too much and it becomes too much of a loss??
Thanks
You can change your tags without losing your stats, btw :)

some set the tag in their profile name, silly chaps
