Battlefield 4 The "Netcode" Patch

Are eGO servers enabling the higher tickrate?
I read that enabling the High Frequency Network Update has to be enabled on the server side in order to see the benefits of the 30 hz tickrate.

i believe that is player enabled
"The High Frequency Update is by default turned OFF in this release. You will have to enable this setting to take advantage of the improved networking. To support players with a limited bandwidth connection, we support three different levels: LOW, MEDIUM and HIGH. Most players with a connection faster than 1Mbit upload and 1Mbit download should be fine using the HIGH setting. If you experience any issues, lower or turn off the setting completely."

Yes, this is true. They said this about the servers though:

"PC Server Performance
On PC the RSPs are responsible for enabling the feature at their discretion, we expect most to do so as soon as possible."

What ZinDuo said. It is my understanding perusing the Battlelog forums enabling it on the client side won't matter much unless it is enabled serverside as well. So will eGO be enabling this on their servers?

Just a quick question. The last time I played BF4 was in December. So I was wondering if most of those netcode issues have been ironed out. It was pretty annoying playing against high pingers since the game ran so poorly.

It depends on your game play and try a different setting in game. The servers are not going to be affected as much as our client side will be. The servers are updated and flowing smoothly on a second note.
