EDIT: on a related note, BVSM will not accept timed bans until DICE patches BFV up to a patch version similar to the 1.6 patch for BF1942. right now, i think we're at 1.4 BF1942 patch for BFV.

I cannot tell from the post.. Do we need to update our personal BFSM? The one we use to kick/ban people?

it's the same server manager version, just a different build. i'm almost 100% sure you don't have to upgrade your remote manager.

Nope, just upgrade the Remote manager. It was corrupting the output .con files when a save was done. They didn't change the Linded BFSM as it doesn't write the cons, the BFRM does.

Ok. I'm confused now. What do we admins need to download again?

oh fak! didnt realize that was in the Windows section. i'm making a post on BBO now. we never had this problem until the EOD manager was upgraded to to beta 4d. DC server still uses beta 4b and does not have this problem. go post.

RE-DL the BFRM 4d.... That's what fixed the GC server.... On Window's Ded Servers you have to ALSO upgrade the BFSM. Here is how it works:

Server opens up basically a port for BFRM to connect directly to the server. And handles the starting/restarting/interpertation of cons/ and kicking on the server.

BFRM connects up to the BFSM server. Any changes you make to the maplist, player list, whatever are essentially written directly to the server con file from the BFRM client itself through the port opened by BFSM. The old BFRM however was writing out bad con files for the maplist.con and such causing the "map not found error" as it was writing garbage into some of the lines.

On Windows Ded Servers you have to upgrade the BFSM as well because Winded servers can edit the files directly on the server side as well as remotely so it's a CYA action to upgrade BFSM on those servers, in case in the future you edit it server side through BFSM and end up corrupting the files again.

Linux you can't edit them server side through BFSM thus you just need to upgrade BFRM.

Did I make that as clear as mud?

Meltdown, when did u reinstall 4d? i was playing on the GC server yesterday about 5:30 pm (EST) and still got that error.

also, the maplist was never touched when Packet installed 4d. afaik, it was imported, as was the banlist. everything else was "clobbered". i don't think i've edited the map rotation since bfsm 4b. maybe all BFSM 4d files need to be deleted, and a reinstall of 4d is neccessary.

EDIT: ok i see what u mean. i had not read the rest of that thread on BBO since i posted this. i never saw the "update bfrm" posts. i'll update it, and then go play with the maplist in the AM when server population is low. i would guess if saving the maplist after i mess with it doesn't fix anything, a clean install of bfsm 4d might still be neccessary. thanks for the heads up.

****To be safe, all admins should re-download and re-install BFRM, especially if you have map access. This only applies to admins on the EoD and GC servers. Make sure you delete your old Beta4d directory, and create a new one to be sure all old files are deleted. Playermenu.con file link has been added to the Connection Info thread.

Hrm that's odd because it was working fine post 5:30 EST and on Monday which is when I upgraded it. I just upgraded my BFRM and made the changes and it had fixed it.... wonder if Srtyker didn't update his and made changes because I know whenever BFRM connects and you make any changes it appears to rewrite ALL the con files out, even if you didn't change the maplist or whatnot.... will have to look at that and reload BFSM.... If you think you're up to it I can give you the path, and login ID to the linux server and you can give it a go yourself.
