• Tracker problems. Between 13.00 and 20.00 GMT we had some problems with our tracker. Only 75% of all European servers were tracked. The problems are solved now and we are again up at 99.99% tracking, as usual. ;-) Sorry for any inconveniences that this may have caused. :-(

2003-05-01

• New month, new stats! During the day your stats for April were converted into Veteran Bonus. As usual, you will still find your original stats under the April link on the Player page.
   
• New ranking formula! When the previous ranking formula was designed, we could never imagine KDR's above 10 or even 20. You proved us wrong. The new ranking formula is too advanced to explain here (see our FAQ for more details). It focuses on FTPM, KDR, KPM, PT and Maps Played and all these values are weighted and capped. Highly specialised players (e.g. pilots) will have to try to broaden their skills a bit to hit the #1 spot.
   
• New premises! Thanks to our hosting partners (K-Play) BF Tracks is now running on two fresh, eager and Linux-loaded machines. Together with the new bandwidth this will allow fancier site design (in the mean time, enjoy our in-game-inspired new stylesheet) and lots of other stuff. Stay tuned!

2003-04-22

• Database problems hopefully solved!

  Because of recent database troubles we have now moved to a parallel tracker database that we have had running at our hosting partners (K-Play) site.

  The parallel tracker has been running since last Wednesday. Tracking hasn't been 100% because almost all public Battlefield 1942 servers were flooded last Friday. Be prepared for some small differences, sometimes up to +/- 20 minutes of tracked play time.

2003-04-20

• Why hasn't my ranking position been updated?

  We are running the ranking calculations on a different server which has a replicated version of the DB. Unfortunately the replication stopped yesterday :-( We have just now restarted the replication again but it will probably take a couple of hours before the databases are in sync again.

2003-04-10

• The system is again up and running and no collected data was lost. :-)

2003-04-07

• Preliminary support for server rankings implemented. Click the server name on the Player or Live Server pages to view all stats for that specific server.
  Example: Mayhem - Squirrel Hunting Grounds

2003-04-01

• New month, new stats! During the day your stats for March were converted into Veteran Bonus. As usual, you will still find your original stats under the March link on the Player page. Ranking updates will be enabled again at 20:00 GMT

2003-03-27

• Due to high load on the database server our tracker was stopped between 22.00 - 23.00 GMT. Sorry for any inconveniences. :-(
• We are currently discussing hosting with a possible hosting partner. These discussions will probably bear fruit at the beginning of next week! :-)

2003-03-10

• We are very happy to announce that UDP Soft, the makers of the All-Seeing Eye software, has empowered us with BF Tracks customized access to their master servers. The result of this is that the BF Tracks server list is updated once every hour (and also, if you see the server in ASE, filtering by European servers, it is tracked by BF Tracks).

2003-03-07

• Peace and order has been restored. All servers and databases are online again. Thanks for your patience!
• We had some major database problems last night. Tracker was turned off from 21.15 to 23:35 GMT. We apologize for any inconveniences that this incident may have caused. :-(
• Because of the DB problems yesterday we moved the main database to a weaker server. While the old server is coming up we've removed the ability to do "contains" searches to lessen the load. Until the old server is up you will have to search based on End, Begin and Is instead.
  
  The old server will probably be online again at 15.00 GMT.

2003-03-03

• Old stats have now been moved to a history page available on the statistics page for each player. A veteran bonus for previous experience is also given to players that have played at least 45 minutes on six different maps.
• The criterias to gain a ranking position have changed. In addition to the minimum six hours a user must now also play at least 45 minutes on six different maps.
• The tracker was shut down during the update for the history function at 2003-03-03 12:30-16:30 GMT. Next time we will be much better prepared to avoid such and unnecessary interruption.
• Ranking Position updates will start again at 19.00.

2003-03-02

• Be prepared! Stats for February will tomorrow be moved to a separate page! Basically, we start with a clean slate for March but you will still be able to check all your previous stats from the February link on the player page. The ranking positions will initially be intact but based on less Play Time (PT). The effect of this is that positions will change quite rapidly as soon as people start playing. For more information, feedback and general flaming ;) - check the discussions in our Forums.
• Due to database maintenance that we had to perform for tomorrow there were some brief stops with the stats-tracker at 2003-03-02 12:30-13:30 GMT.

2003-02-25

• Ranking formula update - a player must have played on at least six different maps in order to be able to get a top 10 000 ranking position.
• Fixed some minor bugs and layout issues

2003-02-18

• Changing the ranking formula really opened the feedback flood gates! :) Thank you for all your feedback, some were angry, some were happy and some gave us lots of new ideas. We enjoyed them all! So much that the ranking formula has been updated again. PT is now part of what we rank and a player has to have more than six hours of play time in order to get a ranking position.
• We now rate the 10 000 top players in Europe.
• Play time must now be more than one hour for best maps and best servers in the player view.

2003-02-17

• You talked and we listened! A new ranking formula has been implemented (sorry [Mayhem]Mupp, former #1). This new formula focuses on three values (FTPM, KPM and KDR). Each value is weighted so that a player can get high rankings defending flags, fragging away in a plane or doing a little of both.
  
• Now you can click a server name in the list below to see the score and players for that server - live!
• Looking for your online buddies? Try the new search on this page. It searches for players currently playing!
• Fixed some bugs related to the display of player names

2003-02-16

• Update your bookmarks and call your friends, our address has changed!
