Vault F4 Gaming

Starting tomorrow, weekly maps will be changed to custom maps. This is due to both it being hard to constantly find 8-10 good (not counting ctf_4fort) maps weekly, as well as players seeming to prefer the all maps available mapcycle.

BUT!

This does not mean new maps wont be added. Weekly mapcycles will instead be replaced with map updates added every so often. There wont be a set amount of time in between them, so i can't guarantee how often it will be, but they will still be posted about in #servers in the TF2C Discord as well as here in the VaultF4 Announcements forum. We'll also be looking into accommodating the map voting system to work better for the huge selection of maps in the mapcycle, including changes to how many maps need to be played before a map can be nominated again, and looking into always including 1 new map in the map vote (unless nominations are chosen.)

As always, we appreciate feedback, hope this announcement is understood, and hope you enjoy the...

It is looking like the performance issues on VPS3 have been resolved, and the original EU standard (and a new EU randomizer) server are now up and running.

The former EU Exclusive (temporarily made a Standard server during the outage) will likely be configured to mirror our US "Weekly custom maps" server in the near future so that our EU denizens have something similar locally - stay tuned!

We recently upgraded our EU VPS with the intention of adding additional server capability. However, something seems to have gone wrong during the upgrade process, resulting in unacceptable performance from the server.

We're working to resolve the issue with our provider's support, and will update this thread with any new developments.

For the time being, we've taken the EU standard (and new EU randomizer) server offline as they were unplayable as-is.

Thanks for your patience and understanding!
