Weirdness with player limits *READ THIS*

Right then, we all know the player limit for 1.4 has been changed.

The changelog states

Adjusted the minimum number of players to start the round on ranked servers.
The new values for 16, 32 and 64 players are 6, 8 and 8 respectively.

And the BFROE websites states

sv.numPlayersNeededToStart = (6 for 16-31 maxPlayers, 10 for 32-64)

Our server is 32 slots and setup to start on 6 players (AFAIK this has *NOT* been changed by one of us)

Needless to say, this concerns me more than a little, we don't wanna lose out due to ROE stuff we weren't involved with.

as such I HAVE STOPPED THE BF2 RANKED SERVER as a safety measure until i can get this cleared up with 4u.

Well judging from that quote it seems like the minimum is 10 for our server. Why it'd automatically change to 6 is beyond me

You cannot (or atleast could not) set it lower than the ranked server rules.

It is likely the person you quoted got it wrong or they changed it since.

I wouldn't worry. You wouldn't lose your server, they'd just say "oi!".

That

For now it's turned off, and i've hassled 4u and the BFROE forum about it, should be able to get stuff sorted asap.

Given the moneys involved, i wanna avoid any issues, i'm really just being overly cautious.

This, but y'know, better safe.

Though, no-one seems to know WTF is going on.

Information

Different (i suspect wrong) information

Given the total lack of information, i've stuck the server back on.

4U have been hassled, it's their problem now.
