It doesn't seem to effect the upload at all but going from none to high seems to have almost doubled the data uploaded.

None:
Average: 8-12kbs
Peak:15-16kbs

High:
Average: 15-19kbs
Peak:23-25kbs

So it's close to double the network strain.

I've noticed that it takes my PC longer to load..went from 45 seconds - 1 minute to 1 minute 30 seconds and sometimes longer after every round.

So if you didn't notice it they made a video of the differences. It is a little false advertising to me just a bit because both players had a stable ping of 50. How many times has the happened in the history of forever where everyone has a ping of 50 on a server. But I would be remiss to not point out there has been a measurable improvement.

You should get an ssd if you can, you'll be amazed and there's some good sale's on them right now.

zzzzz

How old is BF4 now?

GMG, if you can get the SSD ... HUGE difference in loading.

**GrandMasterGuess** · 06-05-14, 05:24 AM

Thanks for the SSD suggestion..I don't mind waiting a bit to load..I'd rather get a better video card to make me kill you guys better. The GT640 is a low end card for this game and it shows when I die needlessly from its slowness.

Here's my beef - I found it worked better than before, then people started going into the high speed bubbles... I'm back to where I was before. Except I don't die as much behind walls. I will say people with higher ping don't have an advantage, in fact it's the opposite. I can tell when someone has a lower ping, I'm clearly getting the drop on people and they kill me regardless. I've sat in TeamSpeak and been outraged at Allane, calling him out on some absolutely bullshit kill, and he'd be like "I was facing you, not turned away as you saw". This update has made the game minutely better for me, as now instadeath is back as my pc is constantly catching up.
