Well, we're on R11 of the server release, and seems more stable than the past releases..  Procon and B3 both have been regularly updating their files to bring admin'ing and operations up to a stable standard and things seem pretty smooth on both of those platforms, minus the MULTIBalancer issues still.

     It is time, however, to bring up the ever delicate issue of funding :(  Server dues have come..  Need $30, hoping for $50 (get some buffer in for next month).  Any more greatly appreciated, anything you can offer will really help, even $5.  As I mentioned when we started the seed fund for BF4, it only takes a tiny bit from each member, it's just getting the masses to realize that.  While large donations are lovely and all, ANY amount will help the cause :)  Please consider donating today!  (donation link on main website page www.ChristianKeySmashers.com )

   Thanks and have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday!

BF4 Bumpy road continues..

The drama continues with our favorite new title..  The servers are on patch "R10" as of this writing.  They went from 1 to 5 in 4 days, stayed at 6 for a couple days, 7 came out and hundreds of server hosts reported non-stop crashing and from yesterday evening till this writing they have advanced to R10.  Oddly, DICE usually offers "minimal" output in terms of what they've been "Fixing", other than a generic blanket statement "improving server stability, bettering the experience" is usually what they say.  For R8-10, they've not said a word.

Today (11/14/13) the PC edition is getting a client update.  As of this writing, they are not releasing what was changed on the PC client end.  Their official statement reads "PC game update is now live!
Details on what the patch includes will be posted in a couple of hours."

We'll see.  How's the experience been for you?

Also wondering if the Commander App (iTunes AND Android) is still being released on schedule..  It was slated for an 11/19 release, but with all the other issues plaguing BF4, one wonders if they will pile onto the mess yet another potential catastrophe  in the making, or wait till all the other major issues get ironed out.  No one wants another Rockstar "iFruit" debacle...  It's just terrible press and exposure..

BF4 UP!

As you can see in our servers listing, BF4 is up and running!!

It's a HardCore, mixed gametype server currently running 36 maps of various types.  Tweaking and set up will be on-going for awhile, so please pardon the dust!  cKs members, hop on TS (or contact me in other ways if you don't use TS) and follow the instructions in the channel description I'm sitting in.  Get on and let's get this puppy rocking!  Setting suggestions/tweak ideas are ALWAYS welcome!

BF3 CTF Server gone, BF4 coming soon!

For those of you who don't read the forums ("Recent Posts" is your friend) the fella who had the BF3 server in his name shut it down in preperation of the BF4 server.  I've yet to get ahold of him online yet, but I had thought (as you can read on the forum) that we had agreed to run it with one month of crossover between BF3/BF4 for those not jumping over.  Guess he decided not to do it that way after all, it's not in my court, and it's already shut down so the IP will be gone anyway.  It wasn't on the cKs account and it was out of my hands.  That will not be the case with the BF4 server, however.  As you may recall, the BF3 server came to us when a couple fellas split off briefly and came back - Their server with the CTF settings that rocked was on their account, and we were faced with starting a server all over again (0 ranking) or running with theirs, which was highly popular (up till the BF$ beta release anyway).  That's all I know of the subject :)

Our BF4 server, as announced previously, is all set and will be online/live by launch day.  Server settings/config are still a hot topic of discussion in the forums - Please drop by and voice your opinions/thoughts.  It will be run the same way in that anyone who wants access will get it, but can't set any of that up yet till the server is online :)

Till that time, take this week to enjoy some Minecraft (lol), Borderlands 2, or Stronghold Kingdoms, a game many of your members secretly play (or not so secretly!!)
