We have finally made some progress with the server crashes which I would like to share with you all. Firstly, we are not alone with these instability issues, there are loads of servers experiencing similar issues & far more severely than us. Big name servers such as Asylum, Olympus, Roleplay UK and even Zero-One (before it shut down ) have all been victim to mass kicks as frequently as every half an hour during peak time. After speaking with one of these communities we performed a few tests disabling parts of features on the server that we hadn't considered before. One of the tests had positive results, improving stability during peak time. It is important to remember that while we can fix the server crashes, we most likely can't stop the mass kicks ourselves. They can happen as low as 40 players, and if we were to lower the player cap that low we might as well not have a server. Many communities are experiencing mass kicks, even some who have completely rebuilt their mission file. This suggests that it may not be a piece of code causing the instability, but perhaps a method of achieving something or the result of an action. Some servers don't seem to have these problems. If they figured out what was wrong, fixed the cause without knowing it or never had the problem in the first place I do not know, but if someone did find a fix I'm sure it would have been shared by now. If not by them then by someone else. Last time we saw mass kicks on this scale it was an issue with animations which was fixed by Bohemia themselves. They have said their QA team is actively investigating the current mass kicks, so we just need to sit tight. As for our server crashes (which occur with the mass kicks), we have made decent progress in resolving them. Like I said above, one of the tests we performed had positive results which is good news. We've left the setup for that test active and over the past few days have been writing a replacement for the feature that was disabled. I won't go into detail about what this replacement is just yet, but I will say that it does need fine tuning which can only be done with data received from a decent number of players. Tomorrow we will be releasing an update to the server that includes what we need to get the data required for fine tuning, and then sometime next week we hope to release all aspects of this feature. TL;DR: Many servers are experiencing mass kicks, there is not a lot we can do about them, BI say they're looking into it. We have however improved stability during peak time which has resulted in the server recovering from mass kicks instead of freezing. There will be an update tomorrow which will help us get data required to release a replacement for a feature that had to be disabled for stability reasons. Thanks for reading!

So I've been told this is one of my best videos yet... What does everyone else think?

This is one of the most cringiest things I have ever seen

Are you bragging about 28-8

Wow. Awesome video dude. This made my day worthwhile. I am sure that this video will definitely attract more RP Seeking Players to the Straya Community. Its one of the best i have seen.

We were downed by an enemy attack boat and escaped.... quite well by this landing.
