BF4 Server details

I tried to order the procon server, but apparently the dataserver in Cape Town (the only one in SA) is unavailable. Does it matter if the procon server is hosted internationally? If not, I'll order today. It's $20 a year, so will buy the full period in order to match with our server subscription.

Good idea and approved from my side Jarrod. Lets find out if we can do the international thing first however.

Do we know other SA server owners with the layer?

That is an interesting question. I'm not 100% sure. I think BMW are running a layer I'll try get some answers from them and do some research and see if any issues would come up with int hosting.

any server where they have automated stuff happening including balancing is done with a layer server.

Anyone got an answer on this?

[Hubris]

Nope the BMW guys are running a south african one so they couldn't give any advice. I'll leave my PC on from today hopefully it stays up and nothing force majure happens. Last resort Eggy can admin until we get organised in the new year.

Can we think of any reason why an internationally hosted ProCon server would cause problems?

[SlipperyDuck]

Let me look into setting up a layer server on one of my custmer machines on the internet - always on- see if it's possible - and free

I'm worried it's going to introduce lag, but I'm not sure how the netcode works at all.
