Quote from: MonkeyOld26 on February 21, 2021, 08:41:26 PMHey guys, I am still relatively new to these games and this community and have just now gotten the SWBFSpy patch installed on the original Battlefront 2. I don't use Discord so I can't just ask if anyone is available to play at any given moment. I think the idea of having scheduled times to play a few games is a good idea that should be expanded upon. Such as asking the community (Maybe on the homepage of this website?) if could play a few games at, say, 4:00 pm (CST) on a Saturday when (I'm assuming) more people would be able to get on for a few games of conquest or capture the flag. I think if you wanted to do some during weekdays that would also be pretty neat, but the drawback is that some people have sports practice or scouts for themselves or their kids, and during the school year people would have less time for things like this, especially during certain sports seasons where there's basically a competition or tournament every week/weekend. So maybe a few games on the weekend and a few spread throughout the week would get more people playing consistently. (Sorry for the rambling on about a simple concept, still new to using forums like this)

Good night MonkeyOld26,

I guess you probably haven't checked our info website, but I included fixed times for events in the games we support. Just go to the following link:

http://info.swbfgamers.com/events.html

Also, you don't need to be in our discord server, but I made sure to post the MP Sundays for SWBF2 and the MP Mondays for SWBF1 in our Steam website as well:

https://steamcommunity.com/groups/swbfspy/events

Please, if you want to organise any sort of events, reach anyone in the contact page and we'll do our best to run it 

Hey there! Welcome to SWBFGamers

No, this is a SWBF file as mentioned in the name.

MK released a newer version after the last update messing up the nickname changer.

Check file below

Thanks MK for the time to update this! 

Quote from: Bluetothestars on February 15, 2021, 05:17:31 AMThis is all I wanted to hear! Someone did know! Please understand that all it takes is to say something like this, this forum is basically dead, and people don't ask for much.

Most of the times we don't know stuff because we don't own the source code of the game, so at least to me, I find it useless to "spend" time replying just to say we can't know. If you dedicated more time to research, this would be something you'd have figured out on your own.

Also I recommend you being more polite to the forum/community. Thread's locked as of now.

Good evening guys!

Today GoG/Steam released a patch (well, actually two of them) which we could call a fail, since many controls are broken, resolution has certainly not been fixed, and therefore made their MP alternative unstable -- once again.
This means we had to update our files to revert from Steam to SWBFSpy. Download is temporarily hosted in our test-environment: http://swbf2.swbfgamers.net/info/downloads.html (SWBF2 Category - STEAM PATCH).

I did not have time to make sure whether I was missing any files or not, so until I do not get a positive from some community players, I will not post it in the official Info website.
If some SWBF2 Player wants to test it, feel free to do so and share your feedback with me here or through DM.

Thanks for your time!

This is what you need:

Quote from: CT-2187 on February 07, 2021, 05:56:43 AMMe and a number of other members from the 'official' BF2 discord servee, whicg for some reason is no longer dedicated to classic BF2, have recently joined your discord, and more are likely to join in the future. I believe most people from that discord played BF2 on steam or GOG, not on your SWBFspy servers. This is just to let you know what happened, might result in a few more new members.

Yeah, with this we hit 900+ players (12 new members). Feel welcome to our discord server.

All info regarding our steam servers is posted in the swbf2-steam channel or in announcements 

GGs everyone! Glad I could spend some time playing with you all 

Thanks for reporting Snake! I fixed the link -- working now 

Quote from: Dark_Phantom on February 01, 2021, 10:06:06 AMSweet, thanks for investigating this. 

You're welcome 

After getting the NFO CEO involved, he managed to solve the issue we reported.

Broken Linux kernel led to some downtime
Feb 01 2021 09:33:18 AM PT
Investigating why your VDS was not starting up properly this morning, we found that the most recent kernel version, which we had upgraded to yesterday, has a bug that prevents Xen from starting up virtual machines. We have rolled the machine back to a slightly older kernel release (from a couple of weeks ago) and your service is running properly now.

Please accept our apologies for the downtime this led to this morning.

I'm currently working on starting all servers 

Good morning guys!

Our US (Chicago) machine has been moved for some maintenance & upgrades, according our host, NFO.
However, the machine can't seem to start after they performed such action and we've reached them to fix it ASAP.

I'll keep you posted on how situation develops, but hopefully it'll be fixed soon.

Sorry for the inconvenience!

Edit: NFO Response -- Mon, Feb 1 2021 6:16am - answered by Charlie
Thanks for contacting us about this! I will need to escalate this to our CEO, John, for further investigation.

Please allow some time for his response here.

Good evening guys! 

After a long time of wanting to do this, we've finally done a significant update to our Discord server. The changes we've issued are the following:
 - New members must react to the #rules-and-info roles message to get the @Verified role and grant access to view the rest of the server.
 - After doing so, members can now get assigned @SWBF1-Player @SWBF2-Player @PS2-Gamer @Modding Area roles, by reacting to the buttons below -- also in the #rules-and-info page.
 - Channels have been updated and re-organized. To view SWBF1 channels (text or voice), you need the @SWBF1-Player role assigned, and the same applies to @SWBF2-Player.
 - Permissions have been updated for all roles.

All of this should allow the server to run more dynamically, although SCT members will check the newcomers to make sure nothing's wrong with their name or profile picture.
We hope you all like these changes -- else, use #discord-suggestions for new ideas!

Remember the link to our server is still http://discord.swbfspy.com

Ping players with the role assigned to let them know you're playing 

See you at the battlefront!

Don't worry Led, he joined the discord server and posted there as well about the issue
