Hi guys, Just wondering if anyone has an idea on whats going on here.

When i restart the server it fills fine 18/18 No Spectators, No commanders. As the server goes on however eventually it will only allow 17 players in which gives uneven teams. Battlelog sometimes shows the empty spot 17/18 but if someone trys to join they can not join the game, The game starts but does not load the map and returns the player to battlelog with an error message. I have had to add a Spectator slot to keep the teams even. 8 vs 8 with 1 spectator = 17. This will continue untill i restart the server again.

Any ideas?

Edit: Also. Battlelog will also start showing 18/18 even when there is only 17 in the server.

I've been watching your server for a while now, and it does bounce around from 15-18 players, but I have seen it on 18/18.

If it happens again, please give me an exact time (to the minute) and the name of the player who tried to join and got the error message and I'll investigate further.

So it has been fine for a few days but is now doing it again.

Player name: xRandMx
Time: 9:43pm 26/11/2013
Error Message: Game disconnected: could not join server

Thank you!

Thanks, with that detail I've found the issue in the logs. It looks like a queue issue - the players are being popped off the queue and onto the server, but are then being removed from the server due to a loading timeout. I'll send the logs to DICE with the timestamps to investigate.
