It is EA activly shuting down the servers. After some time of leting server crash the playerbase wil naturly decline. This then gives them the right to take down the game, website and any support.

Very surprised that you even got in touch @EA_Leeuw since 6 March 2024, after your "update" our server goes down every 1-2 hours (disappears from Battlelog or cannot be connected to). All this happens exactly until we install one single map. In this case, the server can only go down in case of DDOS from players with "broken stats", a thing that also can't be fixed for 4 years(!). This has also been written about many times, for example on Reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/battlefield3/comments/lzkwua/servers_crashing/
It would be great if you finally fixed what you broke on the 6th of March and fixed players with broken stats (something that was fixed in bf4 about a year or two ago)

Also been having issues for weeks on two seperete PC's that nothing was changed, two separate accounts that I now have to log into the Battlelog page to play BF3 instead of just being directed to the BF3 Battlelog while signed into EA via the EA App.
Has become more then frustrating having to log in twice when I'm already logged into EA soon as the PC starts up.
Just get "Wrong E-Mail/Password" in pink when I start BF3 regardless if it's thru EA App or desktop BF3 icon. I do not and will not save any usernames or passwords in a browser, never have never will.
Whatever you did EA you royally broke BF3 and are preventing many players from enjoying the game.

Finally it is under investigation. Thanks.

This is just a theory though, but what if server admins disabled the OBVIOUS player count spoofing cr*p for a while just to see if MAYBE that has something to do with the crashes, huh? Just my 2 cents.

@Choombachero i never used this kind of plugin on my server & i'm seeing this weird unknown players in battlelog when this problem happens at the same time the numbers of players freezes on battlelog & no one can join the server & later the server will disappear from battlelog as well until a restart, then all goes back to normal for 1 or 2 rounds or more & then back to square one
