I've been struggling with a problem since release, can't figure it out on my own. My startup.txt file looks right, it shows Round start player count: 4 and Preround start player count: 4
Yet at some point the server reverts to 8 players. I have to reset it in the control panel or Procon, and restart the round or server.
There is a server.cfg file somewhere, does it revert back to 8 on restart every night? It's killing our stats, we need 8 players to start the server off each day, and while I'd prefer 2, I think EA restricts us to 4.
Can you help me understand what might be happening to reset the server spec to 8?
Thanks in advance.
BF3 Config file?

Re: BF3 Config file?
There isn't another file on the server that you could be changing to adjust this, and it wouldn't be reset each night. It must be happening as the result of a tool that one of your admins is running =\.
Re: BF3 Config file?
I am pretty sure that "restart PlayerCount" needs to be half the value of StartPlayerCount
So if you wanted your server to start when you had 4 players
vars.roundRestartPlayerCount 2
vars.roundStartPlayerCount 4
You can actually get the server to start with just one player
vars.roundRestartPlayerCount 0
vars.roundStartPlayerCount 1

It doesn't need to be half of the other value, but it does need to be at least one number lower.

You guys are the greatest, thank you for helping me understand that piece better.
It was driving me nuts because I had those variables set to 4 and 4, which basically reverted to 8 players to start, 4 players to restart every day. I've changed the variables in the startup, so hopefully it will work now.
