Full Version: Provisioning of ranked IP's to EA Question

Spoke with Lreese lastnight and he said that our ranked BF2 servers would not be saving stats for awhile until EA receives and approves the BF2 Ranked server IP's from Insomnia365.

I do have a concern. My Insomnia365 Dual 2.8 Zeon, 2GB package includes five IP's: 70.84.25.58-62. When I configured Cortex after the OS reload I noticed that Cortex only had the host (70.84.25.58) IP enabled. I manually entered in the remaining four IP's (Don't recall doing this when I first used Cortex last November).

My question is this, Will you be providing EA all five IP's or just the single host IP address?? Since I'll be running BF2 ranked servers on the alternate IP's and not on the HOST IP??
lreese
We'll be submitting the full range to EA.

I had the best games tonight on the new ranked server with some amazingly high scores. Sadly the stats aren't updating icon_sad.gif

Has anyone had any experience with how long it takes EA to get your IP's input? I direct the question at the users here and not at the I365 staff as I know it's out of your hands.

It's a manual handoff, and form what I hear they have a staff dedicated to keeping thier ranked IP ranges up to date. That's all I know about it, but I cant give you an ETA from them. :/

edit: added to the FAQ

so you are saying there is a period that our ranked servers arent actually 'ranked'?

how long is this delay?

once EA add the IP do the scores from previous rounds get added then, or is all the data from the time the server went live to the time EA add it get lost?

Yes. After the server is re-provisioned we send the IP information to EA and they work their magic.

I really couldn't say. It's completely out of our hands at that point.

It's all lost, so don't play too hard during the transition period. icon_smile.gif
