original SWBF seems to have a master server issue

[Led]

Drunkin Master has been in contact with Kalle. 

It seems Kalle wants to keep hosting the master server, but not game servers.  The timing of his rant and the master server going bad may have been just a coincidence.

I guess the next step would be for someone to let him know the Master Server is not working for a couple of days now.

It would be nice to have own native master server too.

I sent Kalle a note clarifying if the intention is to shut the GameMaster Host servers in a few weeks or if he has already done it (since it is down). It might be a coincidence since the Master Server list still shows our servers up but no one is playing BF1 PC.  All other BF's have players right now.

for a temporary fix use this one and drop it in your GameData folder. backup the old one.

[Sonic]

You can try using my launcher (if you have the master server ip).

[oldsnake]

defiant you can get the german one here http://forum.gameshare.co/showthread.php?tid=483 get the usa version battlefront_america_deutsch

OK, here is the issue:

The original patch we made with 1.2 no-CD won't work anymore due to an IP address change at GameMaster.


Here is what you can do for now:
use the original Gamespy exe file and your CD/DVD.  If you use our patch autoinstaller, a backup copy of the original exe is in your GameData folder.

Use the NYC IP addresses in your hosts file
Gamemaster NYC IP list 
We will work on updating the patch auto-installer.

Kalle has an account here, but I am not sure which one it is.

He said it was domain settings change which he has now rolled back so the old modded exe should start working again if it isn't already.  I can only see that breaking it if the mod was actually using the wrong IP but perhaps my imagination is limited.

[~PFE~ Sam / Ply1]

Why kalle keeps modifying the gamemaster patch.. ? if he keeps doing it, his patch is not necessary omg.

[Drunken_Master]

Yes, it's been a confusing and a little frustrating experience.  I still don't understand exactly what caused the problem.  But although there is a problem, it sounds like Kalle wants to work with us and would like us to help him.  He has said he would like to communicate more, and with his idea of making the source code open source, it may help.  I think we are all wary of a game server that we don't have input on that may go away at any time.  Kalle's offer to make it open source and allow our community to help may be the answer.
