EA/DICE upgrading hardware to resolve Battlefield 4 rubber-banding issues

[freexavier]

We wanted to provide a quick update on the issues with Battlefield 4 “rubber-banding” some players on certain platforms experienced during matches with 64-players.

Looking into this further, we’re unhappy with our server performance, so we’ll be upgrading the hardware as soon as possible, investing more to deliver a better experience.

As soon as we know the exact timetable, we’ll let you know the ETA.  Reducing lag for these players is absolutely a TOP priority for us to solve and we expect to have the solution very soon.

EA DICE plans to upgrade its hardware to address "rubber-banding" issues some Battlefield 4 players are experiencing during 64-player matches, according to a post on the official Battlefield blog.

"We wanted to provide a quick update on the issues with Battlefield 4 "rubber-banding" some players on certain platforms experienced during matches with 64-players," the post reads. "Looking into this further, we're unhappy with our server performance, so we'll be upgrading the hardware as soon as possible, investing more to deliver a better experience.

"As soon as we know the exact timetable, we'll let you know the ETA. Reducing lag for these players is absolutely a TOP priority for us to solve and we expect to have the solution very soon."

DICE explained last month that fixing Battlefield 4's netcode issues is one of the developer's "top priorities." Netcode issues range from poor compensation for network latency, rubber-banding, glitches within the game and player-game world interaction bugs.

Good job DICE... just that you are a few months late and people have been asking for you to fix it ever since the game came out.

They had to play a couple hundred games of basketball and throw some rocks in a pond first. Ya' know, important stuff.

Here i am thinking "could this fix lag spikes and hit registration, or is it that i need to stop playing battlefield 4 with a 7750, i3 3220, and 4 gigs of RAM?"

They are updating servers?!
YESSSSSS.

They should've done this already in Bad Company 2 but at least we are getting a fix now.

Hey, HEY...don;t get to bloody excited...they said the net code was going to be much improved. They said a lot of things that didn't happen

Yes, but the netcode issue comes from the servers.

Better servers = No rubber banding/good netcode

not saying it won't be better, just saying it may not happen at all or take a lot longer than expected...
