Update:

After optimizations and restarts yesterday, we had been stable across all platforms. Unfortunately, we encountered another outage at approximately 9:30 AM PST today.

- X360 was severely impacted, and the service is being restarted. It should be back online and we are monitoring closely.

- PC had an outage, but the service is offline currently and the service is being restarted. It should be back online and we are monitoring closely. We will then start checking the quality of the customer experience to determine possible next steps.

- PS3 appeared to have a brief outage, but has quickly recovered and the services is functioning properly at this time.

All teams are actively engaged in diagnosis and remediation. We are adding additional services to alleviate load. Despite having a major infrastructure in place, the peak traffic this weekend has been huge, 400% higher than any other Battlefield's peak simultaneous users. The teams will continue to monitor the services closely. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and will provide further updates on the latest developments as they are relevant.

Holy crap! No wonder they're having all these issues. There's no way they could have predicated that

Well they better get it fixed by tomorrow because I have 3 nights off work. But this is beyond annoying at this point. What sucks is in the 360 version, it searches for matches but you can't back out or cancel. Have to go straight to dashboard. So then I have to restart the game and try again - yeah, no thanks.

I'm contemplating picking up MW2 just to get my war kicks laugh.gif

400%... that explains alot^^

Yeah it does, you would of thought that they would of had pre-order numbers through from publisher / sales channel. Still clicking your fingers and having the servers delivered and installed and configured is no easy task. Considering that when the login servers are not falling down the game is working great I can't wait for the next few weeks when all these little problems get ironed out.

I know that.... but then your psn is JohnBlaze and your website is GarretD.

So i was confused as it says "personal site" and john blaze would have to be some kind of alias. Thats all. If i didnt know what Rajput meant I would know what a "Sikh" was.. Btw, moms hindu before you make any remarks.

johnblaze is from an aaliyah song/method man is one of my fave rappers. garrett is the first name, middle and last you'll have to figure out yourself ;) no idea why you brought up your mother...

i just played for a bit, bring up the server list still takes a while and it was a little laggy but it wasn't too bad. i'll play again tonight after the habs game is over. that 400% stat is pretty crazy, that many people are playing it... and who says PC gaming is dieing???

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features

      Web search has been one of those crap ware that I try to get rid of asap. It's annoying and slow. It was a cheap way for Microsoft to drive traffic to Bing.
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By WaltC · Posted

      All I can say is that think the USB G8 is better in many ways, and costs the same or slightly less. I wouldn't part with mine. It's even a big improvement over the G6 USB. (You can also use studio phones (up to 600 OHMs I think) with the G8, but I have to say that even relatively cheap 30-50 OHM phones sound absolutely great--far better than through most internal motherboard sound!) Considering the difference in these products I am surprised that Creative is still making the PCIe internal card versions. https://www.headphoneer.com/cr...ve-sound-blaster-g8-review/
    • I have really been nerding out on my desktop icons and feel compelled to share...

      By Nick H. · Posted

      I missed this when you first posted it, but those are awesome icons! I would normally prefer things to be uniform, but each of those icons seems to fit perfectly for the game! If I may ask though, what was your thought process on which icons are circular - MK makes sense - and which ones should be rectangular or square?
    • Microsoft Paint used to be my favorite Windows app as a kid, and it's still pretty good

      By WaltC · Posted

      What I like about Paint is using it almost exclusively for cropping and resizing images I get elsewhere--it's quick, easy and cheap... I keep it glued to my taskbar, in fact. Also, the clipping tool comes in handy, as well (hit print scrn on the keyboard and it activates immediately.)

      I still remember it fondly today. It was so cool to work in 64-color Half Bright mode and 4.096-color HAM mode (interlaced) when x86 was still in 4-color CGA or 16-color EGA low res. C= never realized what it had until it was far too late--the failure of C= was the failure of its top management. The C= Amiga was 20 years ahead of its time, I always thought. It didn't hurt that in only 512k of chip memory, the Amiga could preemptively multitask when Apple was still doing gray scale graphics on tiny screens and along with everyone else was doing cooperative multitasking (running more than one app at a time in resident memory, but you could only run one of them at a time--had to manually switch between them.) I had a ball with AREXX scripting running between programs that had AREXX ports so that when you sent other applications data and instructions, those running applications could process the same in real time to output!
