Battlefield 4 Our Servers

[Socretez]

Has anyone noticed that our servers suck? I don't know if it's hardwiring or bad coding on the server's end but our servers are god awful when it comes to latency. I have 30-50 ping and I'm watching dudes bounce off corners, rubberband, 1shot shotties around corners before they technically turn the corner. I do barely 1.2-1.5 kdr on our servers and the moment I move servers to, say ADK's 24/7 Metro 2.0, 3-5.0 kdr. I know it's not me. Other people have noticed the same thing.

As much to say I'd love to continue playing on our HOME servers... I just can't. It's entirely too frustrating and ridiculous. Not until we find and fix the issue that only we are having.

Now that you mention it I was noticing some lag issues last couple days. Some rubberbanding here and there. Mainly with chat though. Like if I type something its delayed before it posts to the chat box. Kind of weird. Where are the servers hosted from? Might need to contact who hosts them. Or just change hosts in general.

Here's the proof.

So unless our server's mysteriously attract professionals, tryhards, and hackers, our servers are sick and we need to fix them.

Mainly with chat though. Like if I type something its delayed before it posts to the chat box. Kind of weird.

Yeah having to wait 30 seconds for my chat to hit the box is annoying and only a symptom of our servers, others don't have this issue.

I would have to agree, I think it actually is our servers, because I've played games on other servers and the server doesn't crash as much, it isn't as laggy and my game doesn't crash either. so, I don't really know what to do, but I really want to keep playing on our servers.

I really don't want to agree here, because I don't want to be negative. The problem is that Socretez is absolutely right. I already posted about how my game crashes whenever I'm on an eGO server and I fire my grenade launcher. Today I was having issues where I was getting shot a full second and a half before the other guy was running into the room. I don't know how else to describe it. I'd fall dead and it would say that the guy shot me with a normal gun and then a second and a half later I'd see him run into the room and fire towards where my dead body lay. I've never had this on another server.

I really want to play eGO servers, and I have made it on them pretty much every day, but it's getting harder and harder to do so. From my perspective, I'm waiting in a queue to join a server with a game mode that I don't want to play knowing that when I finally get in I'm going to crash. But I still try to get on our servers because I want to help recruit and fill and all that good stuff. I haven't actually recruited at all on our servers because at this point I don't know what I'd tell people. The group itself is great, but our servers aren't much fun because of all the problems we have.

Hopefully this post and this thread come across as constructive criticism and not just complaining. I really appreciate all the hard work that leadership puts in to provide us with the best servers possible to play on. If anything that just adds to the frustration I feel.

I actually played a good solid 2-3 hours on the servers earlier. Didn't crash once. So the crashing may be a bit better. Still chat lag though. And a few instances of game lag. Also Scortch I feel your pain on the whole grenade launcher ordeal. I was playing on the server probably two days ago. Using the M320 LVG. Every time I fired a grenade I would crash. And at first I had no clue what was going on. I was pretty pissed to say the least after about crash number ten. So I looked up BF4 crashing problems and actually there was an entire thread.

Of how grenade launchers were making people crash. Specifically the LVG and FB variants causing the most crashing. So the grenade launcher crash/glitch isn't just going on with eGO servers. A lot of people have had issues with it. So I don't know if that one is fair to pin on just the eGO servers. I saw at least one post about it a couple days ago on the BF4 forums as being an issue for quite a few people. All I can say is it was annoying as hell. And I haven't used a grenade launcher since I found out that was an issue going on. Kind of lame too as I like blowing people up lol. But the paddles are more team beneficial so makes me a better team player leaving the grenade launcher on the bench.

What I was trying to do here was tell everyone that we need to figure out why this is happening, ie: our server host sucks; and then take care of the issue, ie: finding a competent server host.

imo the crashing isnt too bad. the times ive played lately it was just my game crashing (let it be maybe 4 times the past days?). what i have to agree on is the bad rubberbanding. ive actually had a bad experience with it last night when the server would rubberband like crazy. started on paracel storm and then took slowly over other maps. since i havent played on other servers yet maybe there should be a closer eye on the server setup.

 

[Scortch]

So the grenade launcher crash/glitch isn't just going on with eGO servers.

That's good news. Maybe I just got lucky on the other servers. I tested it out on a couple random servers after I figured out what was making me crash on eGO servers, and I didn't have any crashes. If it's a known problem across BF4 hopefully a patch will be out soon and get it fixed. Honestly, this is my biggest problem on our servers.

I'm no good with the paddles. I just get myself killed and get the poor patient killed again.

I know. I just know that when you put a lot of work into something, like I know our leadership has with our servers, and then people start pointing out flaws it can be hard to take sometimes. I feel like I've been complaining a lot on here about our servers with the game modes and the crashing. Overall I have a lot of fun on our servers despite the things that I post here. I just don't want the leadership to feel unappreciated for all the things that they do in their voluntary roles, that's all.

It is more a comment on my own posting than your thread. I see a lot more threads about what's wrong than threads showing gratitude that we even have servers to call home.

Mostly good times

Hello All,

I have played on the eGO servers several times and have not had any issues............until the last time. I crashed out of the game entirely in the heat of battle ! I have not had any issues on some of the other servers I have played on. Who can look into this? I usually have a latency of around 50-60 all the time. Maybe DruidSD can do something?

Sigh!>*
