Battlefield 4 server upgrade 'improves rubber-banding issues'

4.6
DICE has deployed new higher-performance servers to combat Battlefield 4 rubber-banding issues.

Earlier this month, following the release of the latest Battlefield 4 DLC, the studio acknowledged that problems with lag were affecting users on certain platforms during 64-player online matches.

"We've found that the root cause of the issue was a configuration of certain hardware types," DICE general manager Karl Magnus Troedsson explains in a new blog post. "We have invested in new hardware to resolve this issue and deployed new higher-performance servers this week.


"In preparation, we conducted a significant amount of testing before installing the new servers to ensure they would correct the issue. We are already seeing performance improvement with 64-player matches and expect this to continue.

"While the process took longer than we would've liked," Troedsson adds, "we wanted to be 100% sure it was done right and that the long-term solution was properly in place. Our objective is to deliver the best player experience possible. We feel this solution helps us deliver that to you."

In mid-April, DICE said it was investigating what has become known online as the Battlefield 4 'Death Shield' bug. As explained in the video below, the bug in question occurs when a revivable body acts as an invisible shield for projectiles

Miss I think they should just give up on this game already, it's sooo bad. This isn't even going to fix 1% of the problems it has.


Not with that attitude it won't :(


BF3 was a hundred times better than this garbage.



I agree, i had much more fun with friends on there


I actually prefer bf4 despite whatever flaws it has, must be because it is next gen.

I agree. BF4 is terrible, it's the same as BF3. They didn't make any changes/improvements.

Hollywood_Undead Still a better game than COD.


Each game is differnt... CoD and BF are both an alright game


I play cod more but I think battlefield is better. COD is just cod, it just has the feel when you play it.
