I use RequestLastXTicks (symbol, maxTicks) via COM with maxTicks sufficiently large to get a few days of tick data.

When I test on the new servers (-edited to remove server IP- in the hosts file), I get much less tick data - only a day or so rather than several days. My application wants at least three days, so it complains.

What has changed? Is this a bug with the new servers, or do the new servers limit the amount of tick history you can retreive?

The same applies if i use RequestTickHistory (symbol, days) via COM with the new servers. If I request 5 days of tick history, I just get a day or so.

What gives?

This is due to a hardware limitation in the Pre-Production system. This problem will not exist once the new servers go into Production.
