Server stability/Issues thread

[LODE]

On the topic of overall progress and communication of the issues from EA, GameServers says:

Posted 03/07/10 3:43pm
R5 has been installed to all the servers. I'm afraid we do not have any further information as to when EA will fix these issues. They have been equally unresponsive to our requests as they have been on the forums.

ea just wants everything to be MW2 connect to client gayness. so make broken server and BAM. people will be wishing for the ease of the MW mockery. as lode would say..

They're making it gay, THE ONLY WAY THEY KNOW HOW!!!

p.s. why does your server keep blowing up lol admins

The whole master server problem has been escalated to new heights of incompetence.

Long downtime last night for a 'reboot'.
Increased problems today with logins, and people reporting not seeing friends list, or worse - no stats.

Then most presently:

My favorite quote on the UK board:

Funny thing is when you use the play now button it works fine. Of course by fine I mean it puts you in an empty server halfway across the earth.

Hey so I was on UDP1 for about... nine hours there. Eventually I did get dumped / Crash 2 Desktop (at the end of the snowy map with no tanks) but for nine hours, I did NOT get kicked, which is fucking amazing.

Incidentally one of the guys playing was named Crash To Desktop. I liked it.

I think they added servers to the master server cluster, there was a thread somewhere - they either did it last night or the night before i think.

Either way, now we can enjoy sort by ping!

I'm not playing it, my son is.

Update: So EA used a time honored tactic to masking code/design issues - they threw hardware at it. They added servers to the master server cluster, but obviously this does not fix the problem, it's occurrence is just reduced.

UDP1 got de-listed betwen 8-9pm last night after almost 24 hours of uptime with a full load. Gameservers confirmed the issue still persists albeit at a lower occurrence rate than it used to. It's been up since.

Well it's too bad he's not on PC. Because then, as a father, you could enjoy the irony of a game that doesn't allow him to type curse words in chat, but rewards him for stabbing people in the face.
