BF4 Release Lag Issues

**slowmotionman** · 10-30-13, 11:17 AM

Anyone else experiencing lag issues and random server disconnect issues?

My hardware should be able to run BF4 no problem. Had the BETA running smooth on all US servers on MEDIUM so thought things would be better on release date. Not the case, I need to run the game on low just to be able to play a west coast server. I am getting serious lag on low on the TPG server and showing up to 200 ping. Anyone else having this and found a solution other than waiting for Patch #1?

I had some stutter on paracel storm, but none after that. What specs you have?

The lag, is likely due to overload on the EA Server Backend. It's not graphical lag. I was running a pretty steady 90-120 FPS on my rig. Same with the disconnects... There are also a number of issues with the server crash.

There were times last night that everyone in the squad would say something about lag. EA is going to be getting hammered the next week or 2.

As far as the ping goes, have you ran a tracert to the server yet? Might be something else.

Punkbuster is also another good candidate for lag issues as well. We had the issue in the beta caused by PB. (Well that's who DICE was blaming.)

If you haven't done so, install your latest graphics drivers. My game was unplayable until I installed the latest nVidia drivers. I too had great performance running the BF4 Beta release (with the older drivers).

Running AMD 8 core, 8MB of 1866 mem, AMD 7950 card with Win7 64bit . Running the latest catalyst driver set too. Like I said, BETA ran pretty good for all US servers but this release runs like garbage most of the time. For some reason it does seem to be server dependant. Like I noted, almost unplayable for me on TPG but playable on some west coast servers.
