Battlefield 4

Rubber banding renders this unplayable. Not to mention some of the strange things that happen when it crashes.

PS4, fibre connection. I'm not one of natures moaners but this game is taking the piss.

The new servers should be an absolute number one priority. It has been going on for far too long. Anything above 32 players is virtually impossible to play smoothly.
 
I've just had a thought. They are bringing out new server hardware but are going to make us pay for it. Rent a server is due on the consoles soon.
 
Well they can do one as far as I'm concerned. They're not getting any more money from me.

What causes rubber banding, just the servers can't cope?
 
Normally, it's mainly your connection. Or joining a server with a high ping.

But it this case it seems the server hardware isn't up to scratch. They don't seem to be able to handle the massive amounts of data this game needs to calculate and then distribute to all the clients.

For me the only time that I get any lag/rubber banding issues is when I play the Naval Strike DLC, all other large maps on conquest run fine.

Yes the servers need to be updated to cope with BF4 but there's something about the NS maps that cause them to melt down - maybe they can't cope with the water dynamics (if that's the correct terminology)
 
The endless lag and server issues are the reasons I've shelved the game for now. Can't be arsed with the hassle. I want to be able to sit down and play a few games all the way through without being relentlessly kicked.

Such a sad state for the Battlefield series. When are EA going to learn not to rush a product? First Sim City was a massive clusterfuck, now it's their A1 FPS title.
 
Just played a couple of matches on NS with 64 players and had no lag after the server update this morning. Hopefully it's a permanent fix.
 
What time do people on here generally get online? We should start an Urban clan if there isn't one already.
 
I want to play more! you on PS4 Callum?

Does the game actually work properly yet? i.e. is it worth buying premium now?
 
Console players now have the ability to rent servers.

Just played a round of Conquest and the no DMR's/Shotguns/Semi-Auto pistols/Knife/This is my server and I'll ban you if I want rules are back in force :(
 
I think it's a double XP weekend too (for premium members). Perfect for you to rank up with :)

Also, it looks as though the CTE (Community Test Environment) is reaping some good rewards. The consensus is that it's really helping with the niggling "netcode" issues that still remain.

Lovely jubly!
 
Not BF4 related but it looks like someone has found some info on the next Battlefield release.



Worth it's own thread? And yeah I don't buy this was a real like, it looks like seed marketing to me...no take downs on the videos hours after it's gone live, a website reveal after a leak etc...
