I think DICE is probably working on an app to help people who rent a dedicated server, change settings and or moderate the server.
It would be interesting what DICE comes up with. As Fearpoint noted, EA locked out the largest and in fact, all threads in the BF1 forums, pertaining to this subject. We'll see soon what kind of news it'll be.

Here we are less than a month away from release, EA/DICE still won't give the community a direct answer. Meanwhile just about every gaming news site is dead silent about it.

EA is now shutting down access and posting privileges for their forums to those who don't have said game on their account. Welcome to the echo chamber, guys. Server thread has returned but with a warning.....

This thread is re-opened. However, should it devolve into completely a non-constructive rumor-mill again, it will be locked.
Do not create additional threads. We will keep this open for discussion, questions, etc. all others will be locked.

They don't want to give possible consumers important information and they don't want to hear criticism. Welcome to the new EA forums. *bonus* Discussion of anti cheat and EA's abysmal history with it in Battlefield now being locked as well.

All anti-cheat threads in only the BF1 section? Or all anti-cheat threads in all sections including BF3, BF4, and Hardline sections? If it is all anti-cheat threads in only the BF1 section, then I completely understand why it would be appropriate to lock those threads since those threads would necessarily require speculation based on no known facts which no EA employee would be allowed to comment on for or against and would therefore end up spiralling out of control into rumor mill territory. Such thread would end up serving no purpose except to incite turmoil.

Well this is a Battlefield 1 thread...... Also everything pre-launch is speculation over there because they won't release basic information. Having been active on the Battlefield forums for years there is a clear change in what is allowed now, basically no criticism. I've seen game forums like that before such as Bioware and they recently shut down their forum entirely to prevent criticism from being seen.
Not my fault if you're offended.

Ok. Then totally justified according to that forum's rules. If people want to post there, they must follow their rules. They can follow other people's rules on other poeple's forums.
Everything pre-launch is not speculation. Was the beta played by people, or did they dream it? Are official announcements dreamt about as well? There is plenty of non-speculative content to discuss.

Thanks for the link Ty_ger.  It is quite lacking in info though it seems. lol
It is very lacking in information. But, it does indicate and confirm a number of things which were previously only rumors until now. A generally well informed and respected individual concluded this:
There will be no RCON. As I read it server management will be done through the new UI.
Just like consoles did with BF4.
There will neither be PunkBuster support. (It wasn't in the Beta either)
Brace yourself for a cesspool of abuse, since you cannot automate anything in BF1.
No more:
1. Chat logging
2. Stats logging
3. Language filters & punishment system
4. Banlist sharing across servers
5. Votemap
6. Votekick
7. Ping Kick
8. Ingame balancer (DICE balancer does only end-of-round balancing)
9. Custom scripts to catch cheaters
BF1 will be a cesspool of abuse. This does not come as a surprise to me though. I've hinted this would happen more than a month ago.

hahah Battlefield is now Call of Duty. From the gameplay to the horrific restrictions on servers.
Anyone that's played Call of Duty that seen the one server provider service in action knows what is coming with this.
Not my fault if you're offended.

And what is worse, if rentable servers do not have admin bans/kicks, this essentially means EA will be asking people to foot the bill on worthless servers that EA should be paying for themselves. I'm waiting to see what kind of admin control these servers will allow. Until then, EA is not getting a single cent from me.

It will probably be like it is on the consoles. Admins can kick/ban, but no 3rd party admin tools. It's possible that could change in the future.

You may be right, but until EA discloses everything about its server rentals, I am keeping my wallet closed. I have the feeling EA won't release any relevant information until way after release, to capture as much sales as possible. In the event that they release another set of bad news, then BF1 is off my list and will instead support RISING STORM VIETNAM.

If you like the game, i wouldn't let the dedicated server restrictions stop you from enjoying it.

I don't think I can remember a big multiplayer FPS game that didn't allow server information or rentals prior to launch.
That alone is worrying.

Without asking each friend individually how would you easily know? I have 88 friends, most who are EGC, many have set there games profile as private, more than 50%, and I see no easy way to check who has what unlike Steam. Of the ones who have made their games visible 3 have it and 2 are EGC. Most never bought BF4 which I will continue to play every weekend until BF1 has favorable reviews by players and has matured. I have no reason to doubt many will be disappointed and the start up will be rocky at best. By all indications EA is doing there very best to ruin the franchise as I would like to see it progress.

I wouldn't go that far to check friends profiles to see who bought it. Just see who's playing it, when you bring origin friends list up.

Looking at the player stats PC cumulative numbers are half that of xbox already, just like Battlefront and Hardline. No solid server information still except for prices. Official Battlefield 1 PC forums locked for non owners already.

The BF Forums has started to release some tidbits on the BF1 RSP (Rental Server Program): https://forums.battlefiel...-server-program#latestHere is the text of the update, for those of you without a BF sign on.This is not a full disclosure, but at least there is less guesswork to be done. I also took out the pricing info, as I am unsure if that violates EVGA's TOS: North American Community Manager Braddock512Braddock512 October 18 Hello Battlefield Community, We’d like to share a bit more information about the Rental Server program, coming this November. As you know, Rental Servers for PS4 and Xbox One have gone through EA. Now with Rental Servers going through EA, there’s quite a lot of questions. Let’s answer some now: When will the Rental Server Program Launch? We’re excited to bring RSP to Battlefield 1 this November. What types of features can I expect? The biggest question, of course. We will update this thread tomorrow with some of the features you will have in the RSP. Note: One of the top requested features if the Kick/Ban feature. We hear you and are working on rolling that out after the launch of the RSP. Thank you for your continued patience and stay tuned for more information regarding the Battlefield 1 Rental Server Program. The Teams at EA/DICE North American Community Manager - Braddock512 Flag Quote · 12Vote Up Braddock512Braddock512 9:20AM UPDATE 1: What types of features can I expect? Among many other settings, players renting servers will be able to adjust: ticket count bullet damage modes weapons maps More info to come! -Braddock512-

They always will be. That's how most of the people are, they want it to work, and just push the magic button for it to turn on (speaking of consoles). In other words, done for them.
