Ever since the release of the new "high performance servers", I haven't experienced rubber banding on any map. If you have experienced any rubberbanding, make sure your connection is alright.

cyclindk3645d ago

I have had, at most, one or two "jolts" thats it. Everything else is smooth for me

Azmatik3645d ago

I still experience lag and i even switched to a wired connection with DL speeds of 30mbps and UL of 10mbps (im located in canada). I guess some people are just lucky, although it is ALOT less than when the game first released. My biggest problem with the game is you do need a very solid connection to play and helicopters just seem to be broken, ive ran into lag issues when only flying in a helicopter. Overall its still a amazing game.

cyclindk3645d ago (Edited 3645d ago )

I retract my statement, i am now experiencing worse lag than i ever have before... Dam level... I firmly believe it has to do with having too few over capacity servers from EA being cheap, and now after the "upgrade" more people are trying to play and thus again over burdening the system...

ThatOneGuyThere3645d ago

dude, the Dam level never lags. something was up with that particular server or probably had too many users with bad connections. make sure you only connect to servers in your region.

Fiestabrian3645d ago

Ive had a few moments with abit of lag, nothing like the god awful naval strike maps. Ive played all dlc but naval strike since the new servers. Im glad half the battle is over now.

BEASELY3645d ago (Edited 3645d ago )

At first the supposed high performance servers ensured a steady, rubber bandless connection every round. However, after playing tonight (PS4) I see that the issues have come back.

I'm done.

Flotche3645d ago

Everythings fine now! Even naval strike maps are smooth! :).

GamerDad19873645d ago

I know. Thank GOD!!!! The naval maps have been unplayable since they released and now I can finally play them.

finito823645d ago

nevermind the rubber banding, im not getting that but that fact the ps3 version still freezes mid game random times having to hard reset my ps3 is a major reason i havnt played much.

KwietStorm_BLM3645d ago

Well that would happen even with BF3. Could easily just be the dated hardware and not being completely friendly with the engine.

Omegasyde3645d ago

Not to sound rude, but this game is best played on newer hardware(PC/PS4/Xbone). I suggest upgrading when you get the cash to do so.

candy_mafia3645d ago

Is this still an issue?

I just completed the story missions (PS4 Copy,) and after I'm done with Infamous SS' (replay being evil on expert) Platinum trophy, I totally wanna play BF4 mp.

KwietStorm_BLM3645d ago

It's playable now. That's about as much as I can say. I haven't had much rubberbanding for a while now, even before the new servers. I'm away this weekend, so I can't try it out, but this article is the first I've seen saying anything other than significant improvement.

And when someone asks you for ammo, drop ammo.

Omegasyde3645d ago

I spam the commarose "I need ammo" so #%@%@ often. When I play as support, and I hear it I'll drop the ammo immediately.

If they are near me, I'll even go to them.

ThatOneGuyThere3645d ago

same with health. and snipers, FREAKING MARK ARMOR. thanks,

someone who knows how to play

BaconBits3640d ago

Funny. Sometimes I have to run after people that need health - ask for it, and then run away!

Battlefield 1, Hardline, BF4 Servers Are Being Taken Offline by Cheaters; EA Silent on Issue

Cheaters & hackers have been causing grief on Battlefield 1, Hardline & BF4 servers, with nonstop DDoS attacks among other things. Unfortunately, EA has remained silent about it.

-Foxtrot751d ago

Course they are silent, they are hoping people flock to 2042

gamesftw250750d ago

Maybe it was a inside job then haha.

jeromeface749d ago

wouldnt be the first time, titanfall 1+2 anyone?

PapaBop750d ago

Not even if they paid me.. EA always do this with old games with less money potential, if this was Ultimate Team, they'd address and sort it faster than stories could spread. Why invest time in their products when they will just dump it in the following years? Then again EA never could see the forest for the trees.

Inverno750d ago

I imagine after those games were given out for free a couple months back through Amazon, anything that makes people go to 2042 is a plus for them

XiNatsuDragnel751d ago

They want people to go on 2042. My theory

excaliburps750d ago

Nah. I think they can't do anything about it or they want to sink money into fixing it.

Pudge102888750d ago (Edited 750d ago )

EA owns all BF servers so yes, they can do something about it but they refuse to because they dont want ppl playing their old games instead of the new one. Its EA we’re talking about here

pr33k33750d ago

if this happened in 2042, they'd have something to say. which is weird, considering battlefield 1 has more players on steam right now.

Pudge102888750d ago

Its so obvious that EA is doing this or hired ppl to mess up the games so that we’d be forced to have just 1 Battlefield working.

FPS_D3TH750d ago

Honestly it’s probably the devs themselves. They did an update to bf4 way back that kinda made assault rifles doo doo in hopes that people would flock to BF1 cuz BF4 was too perfect

There's a bunch of great shooters on gamepass; both legacy and new.

A recommendation I have is a work in progress preview title called Anacrusis. It's a lot of fun, and has a cool aesthetic.
