That's actually my mental image of Cod, long ears and big teeth. Are you sure that's a costume?

Happy Bor-thday!

Actually not everyone has abandoned BF1. The defection seems to be more on the other side of the water. Plus, we have had some new blood in ts. But, I do agree that the stock maps are starting to get old, some newer ones are coming.

There is a small core of us who show up on TS every evening and play. A couple of clans, Banzore and to a lesser extent RTR and MOC have gotten their servers going. But that is it. Unless we have 20 people showing up everyday to get a server going there is no point in wasting money on BF1. I do like the game, but if this is EA's direction, I don't think there will be much of a following on PC.

Looks about right

Thanks Guys! Weed, that looks about right.

My post has been liked from the dead! Are you still alive Hell?

Happy Birthday!

Were you on when RTR crashed last night? "Server expired" It looks like you can't renew the server even if you want to. https://forums.battlefield.com/en-us/discussion/81698/the-server-has-expired-dice-eas-way-of-saying-we-dont-want-your-money

Happy Birthday, come and drop in some time.

What's your Origin name, there are plenty of peeps in TS. Come into the bf channel any evening and you will find us there.

Welcome to the wacky wonderful world of BF1. Do you have DX12 turned on? Turn it off in video settings, advanced. How much video ram to you have? 3 GB? You can try the memory limiter setting. Try turning down some of the other settings. Shadows, light effects, full screen AA, etc. Ask in team speak for a thorough list of everything you can try, and then let the next person answer with an even longer and somewhat conflicting list of other things to do!

That's the real trick, getting 10 people in teamspeak that all want to get a server started. Sometimes we can, sometimes we can't. The real issue is that we can sit there for an hour with 8 people and have no one join. Once started the server fills very slowly compared to BF4. The one server that everyone knows about seems to be the only BF1 server that fills, and that is because everyone knows about it. And it is not only BZ filling it up, NWG and RTR are also regulars along with XI, so they have at least 4 clans worth of players keeping it full. Plus all the regular pubs that keep coming back. Personally, I think BZ just got lucky.

Happy B-Day, get some rest!

Origin was down this morning, try re-loging back onto it.

You guys sound like a barber shop quartet

https://forums.battlefield.com/en-us/discussion/75357/an-update-on-the-rent-a-server-feature Dice announced some updates to the BF1 RSP, let's see how long they take to be implemented. Lazy Hi all, Now that the latest Battlefield 1 Game Update 121316 has been released, let’s look forward on what’s on our agenda for future updates. One of the key areas of focus for us has been the Rent-a-Server feature (RSP). We’re glad to inform you that we are kicking development into high-gear and hope to deliver a variety of requested functions to the feature. Additionally, we look to improve the overall flows on how to find and populate a rented server, and add some more settings for the admin to play with. Below you will find a brief summary of the functions we are looking to implement in future updates. Please note that this is not a list of guaranteed features. Rather, this is a list of functionality we are investigating and/or developing. Admin Control Panel A separate screen you can reach from inside the game where you will find functions such as Kick/Ban along with Ban and VIP lists. Kick/Ban You will be able to see a list of all current players on the servers and either kick or ban them. Once banned they will be stored in the Ban List. From there you can unban them or just view the list of all currently banned players. Ban & VIP Lists Here, you will be be able to view and edit the Ban & VIP List. The VIP List is a list of players that will have queue priority (even higher priority than Premium Pass owners). For instance, if you have a clan and the clan members contribute to the server cost, you can add them in the VIP List and they will put into the highest priority queue. Password Protected Servers We are looking to re-introduce this setting for Battlefield 1 rented servers that admins want to secure with a password. Setting a password will make the server run "Unranked", so players who join won’t receive any experience, gain medals, or progression of any kind, but they will have all equipment unlocked while playing on that server. New Settings Here is a list of some of the new server settings we are looking to implement in future updates: · Squad Leader Spawn Only A popular setting from previous titles. We are looking to add this in a future update so server admins can set this on their server. · Behemoth on/off toggle A new setting for admins where they can turn off the Behemoth from spawning on their servers. · Whole Magazine Reload A setting from previous Hardcore versions. Admins will have access to turn it on or off on their servers. We are also looking into a re-design of how the server browser displays servers. We currently feel that the DICE Official Servers are washing out all the quality rented servers and making it difficult for players to find their favorite servers. In an effort to address this, we are looking into giving all rented servers priority in the server browser. This means that rented servers will always be displayed at the top of the server browser. There are other functions that we are planning for the re-design that we are not ready to talk about just yet. These functions that are in development will make the overall experience to find and join a rented server much easier and making popular rented servers even more visible inside the game. Sincerely Alexander "Striterax" Hassoon

Nice kitchen, or is that the bar?

Congrats Corbie

Do you mean he was one of the Keating 5? So was John McCain.

I tried to do it and Origin charged me $50. I contacted Origin and they refunded the $50 and had me re-order it for $35. I will have to wait for my c/c statement to see what really happened. My wife is pissed at me for throwing a temper tantrum over fifteen bucks.

I don't know the full history, I was recruited by Hellkid when the BF4 server was already hardcore. The server population rose and fell as different changes and map rotations were made, but it was still going when BF1 came out. Many team speak regulars, at least, seem to have come into BF1, although there are a few that I miss. Everyone understands how hard it is to get the server started with a 20 player minimum, and the server browser that ignores custom servers. Hopefully things will improve once the server can actually be admined.
