On a dedicated box, we have enabled PB (with the usual spamming of the console O/S exception notice message) and enabled the sv on the stats but the server list does not reflect the stats enabled now keeps stats.. We have upgraded (patched) the server..

Anyone know why?

I too have a dedicated server and am trying to get the stats to work. I have: +set punkbuster 1 +set sv_pure 1 +set sv_communitystats 1 set in my server.cfg file and yet it still won't show the stast tracking icon in the game browser. Did anyone else have problems enabling online stats tracking ?

Just posted this over in the MOHteam forums.

As you can see by this link EA stats page (http://www.eagames.com/official/moh/pacificassault/us/stats.jsp) is still empty. I'm wondering if they have these turned on yet.

Once I get an answer, I will post a followup ASAP

Thanks Rudedog,
I don't think the stats are depending on that site to work. I have stats showing up under the medals tab on the multiplayer side in my game. I even have 5 medals already, just from playing on servers that track stats. I'm sure when EA gets that site up and running it will display the top stats folks. Just my uneducated opinion.. lol

Just wondering though, I was reading through the readme file that came on the DVD and the MOHPA Supplemental Multiplayer Guide. I have found these:

Online Stat Tracking – By enabling this option, stats about your server and the players in it will be recorded persistently via Gamespy for viewing. If you wish to play games affecting your record, disable this option (requires Authentication through EA Online – not available in LAN Only games)


Kick Restriction – Use this setting to prevent players with kicks on their record from joining your game. Only available if the admin has logged into EA Online before starting a server (this will require clients to be stat-tracked, exposing any kicks that are on their persistent record)


"Required authentication through EA Online" They both mention EA Online. What does that mean ? Must we register our dedicated servers with EA Online ? If so, does anyone have a link ? This is the best I can find:http://www.eaonline.com/

I have also noticed that some servers have stats enabled but pure disabled. It states in the readme:

Track & Record Stats: +set sv_communitystats 1 (pure and
punkbuster must also be enabled in order
to track stats)

"Pure and punkbuster must also be enabled in order
to track stats"

Now what I have seen would contradict that. I would like to keep pure enabled but then I can't join my server because I use HLCRcon to change maps and stuff, and that file in your Main folder will make you "unpure".

Thanks in advance for the help.

I have a post about stats in the MOHteam forums. EA is looking into this ,once I have an answer I will post ASAP

The stats page on EA official site is still being worked on, they are keeping track of current stats and will be proactive once the page goes live.
