I'm really surprised at that actually. I thought PC would have more players than a recently launched console. Huh.

yea the game is MAD popular on PS4. That's good though, I am enjoying it on both platforms

 

[SharpAttorney]

A dev on reddit claims all the new hardware is deployed. How about some carrier assault tonight boyos?

Yes, yes and more yes.

 

[Orcus]

Can't do Reddit at work. Can you copy his post over here to check out? I'm really excited to hear info on the new stuff rolling out. All the matches I played on the test servers were smooth as butter!

Here it is:

DICE_TheBikingVikingBattlelog Producer

"As I understand it, yes, the hardware improvements have been done today. Would love to hear some feedback on it."

 

[Fersis]

OMG!

See you guys tonight!

 

[ElzarTheBam]

Finally!

Hope it makes a difference.

 

[burnfout]

OMG!

See you guys tonight!

FUCK YES.

I have a quiet day in the office tomorrow, so playing untill 2 AM is fine

 

[skybald]

Ugh now I need to wait for my new glasses to get in on some of that no bandin' goodness

 

[Fersis]

Finally!

Hope it makes a difference.

People on reddit reporting that the 'rubber banding' is gone.

BASEDFIELD 4 is back? :0

 

[Omni]

They fixed it?

I swear I was getting shot around corners this afternoon still. *shrugs*

 

[Ark]

Just after I built a new rig and double-dipped for the game on PC, and already having 209 hours on PS4. LOL. Thank you DICE.

God dammit.

I see the newest maps are available now to non premiums.
Hows the rubberbanding situation with the new map pack on PS4 ?

That's latency, not rubberbanding.

 

[ItsGeeMcGee]

I think PS4 is by far the most popular platform for the game.

You can check http://bf4stats.com/ any time of the day and PS4 is almost always 2:1 ratio to PC.

That's pretty crazy. I'd always thought of BF as a PC-centric series. When I checked that site there were 35,000 on PS4 and only 18,000 on PC

It is/was, but the BF4 launch certainly didn't help matters.

With the server updates, apparently no longer an issue. Naval Strike was unplayable with conquest 64-players. Hopefully good now.

 

[Bailey 87]

Can confirm that the rubberbanding issue seems to be gone. I only tried the Naval Strike maps but they were so damn smooth. Looks like the OT needs a new name.

Will be on tonight to play with PS4 gaf. I'll be the guy at the top of the leaderboards

 

[Chabbles]

Ok, cheers guys.

Too bad Carrier Assault/Titan mode is awful. >:|

Time to get those 20 wins on PS4, though, I guess?

 

[mitchman]

Just played a round of conquest on Naval Strike. Started up good with no lag, but as the sides filled up, the rubberbanding was as bad as before. Will try a different server now.

Not like this, not like this.

Or maybe was pure BS from DICE.

6 hours here.

 

[Noisepurge]

Played for a few hours of 64 player conquests on default maps. No problems whatsoever. Not even any packetloss icons on screen!

 

[Orcus]

Does anyone know if the hardware that the BF4 game servers run on is used by multiple platforms? For example, do they have hosts in a cluster that multiple guests from different platforms reside on? Also, was this confirmed as as an actual hardware performance issue, or could it be overutilization of resources or poorly provisioned guests?

The servers are the same fo all platforms.

I believe there was an official post regarding the "Rubber banding" issues being Server related.

 

[RedAssedApe]

some thread on reddit claiming rubber banding fixed. i sold the game earlier this week tho

BASEDFIELD 4

THAT #BASEDFEEL

 

[SharpAttorney]

Everytime I try to join a NS server, I get a message that says I am disconnected from the session. Anyone else getting this? Happens with both Cq and carrier assault.

 

[SharpAttorney]

But I get on EU N S servers no problem

 

[Fersis]

No more rubber band lag on my end.

I did get the usual framerate during 15 seconds during the Hainan Resort levolution moment.
But man... im sooo rusty. Too much Hearthstone i guess!

 

[gl0w]

Rubber-banding is almost definitively gone, so I must retire what I said. Anyway, got 2 server crashes where everyone got kicked out, and the shitty netcode is still there.

But it just plays like a different game, so good.

 

[The Faceless Master]

we're almost out of beta guys!

the game could be out this summer!

finally played Carrier Assault... yeah, no DICE.

 

[nevernamed]

It's not just you. Sometimes I could only get in using quick match. Sometimes only the browser.

However. The game was buttery smooth the entire time I played it tonight. That's a first for me.

 

[TheSeks]

finally played Carrier Assault... yeah, no DICE.

Yep, Titan is a piece of shit this outing. Get the 20 wins via server hopping like I did if you want the dogtag and then forget it.

no worries, got 5 tonight just playing with GAF

I'll get the rest in time

Didn't have any rubberbanding but the crash on joining servers is definitely still there. Just a black screen with the blinking line in the corner for all eternity.
(or glitch or whatever, i'm not waiting 30+ minutes to see if it joins in on the next map)

 

[terrible]

This is what happens when my teammates upset me.

 

[JJD]

This fucking game...

Rubberbanding appears to be gone, or at least severely diminished, but on the other hand I'm still getting stuck on the loading screen a lot, and losing connection to the server...

This is what happens when my teammates upset me.

Man I hate people who do that, no matter the reason. They were going to capture a flag, and now you have not only killed then out of spite but helped the enemy, congrats!

Don't like your squad? Join another one. Your whole team is a piece of shit? Finish the game and quit, or just rage quit and search for a better one.

They finished 16th and 20th on my team while I got MVP. I still think I did more good than harm in the end lol. More importantly it was hilarious.
