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 should be fine using the HIGH setting. If you experience any issues, lower or turn off the setting completely. Playstation 4 and Xbox One Server PerformanceThe High Frequency Update will be rolled out to all 48 player servers and on a small set of 64 player servers immediately. We will then keep a close eye on the larger servers to make sure server performance stays good in the live environment. If all goes well, all servers will be supporting the high frequency update after 24 hours or rollout and testing. PC Server PerformanceOn PC the RSPs are responsible for enabling the feature at their discretion, we expect most to do so as soon as possible. Video ComparisonWhen testing our “High Frequency Bubble” changes to the network layer in Battlefield 4, we made sure to employ a measurable end-user experience metric. To do this, we have been using a 60fps video camera to capture two clients connected over the internet, and counting frames to get before and after results: Future PlansThis is the first release to contain CTE-tested “Netcode” fixes and improvements. We are still hard at work with additional improvements and tweaks to better our network experience that did not make this release. We hope to utilize the Community Test Environment for future release to ensure quality and stability across all platforms. If you wish to take part in this testing, the CTE still has slots open. The current requirement is to own a PC copy of Battlefield 4 with a Premium memebership to sign up at http://cte.battlelog.com Update Details PC• Improved/reduced explosion induced camera shake• Character collision improvements• Fix to reduce object damage mismatch between client/server.• Fix explosion packs not being able to be shot sometimes• Improvements for client side packet loss• Client crash fixes• AMD Mantle multi-GPU improvements• Carrier Assault game mode reports bug fix• High Frequency Network update- Added High frequency “bubble” updating player movement, stance, rotation, damage and projectiles at a separate rate on foot and in vehicles- Added option to control client side update rate setting Edited June 3, 2014 by DuckyofDeath123 The Flush and OddJob001 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For reference, if you do this test with an antique shooter like Half Life or indeed anything on the Unreal engine, the delay can be far lower than this. Also note they tested with a ping of 50. That makes no sense unless they're trying to hide the fact that ping 5 or ping 50 you're still waiting for 100+ milliseconds. Which is terrible for anything remotely considered a "serious" shooter. still, in the land of the blind... let's see what they broke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ping is an extremely important measure as this delay is added to the UDP packets on the upstream. Albeit the server will compensate via interpolating. I think this will be a very good update for us. However, as you say, lets see what else is broke due to the patch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially when shooting from a RHIB at a heli in the sky, the register is immediate. Shooting is more responsive, and the engine feels more responsive, as if they've removed lag/delay. Shouldn't have taken this long however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

I went from being in the middle of the score list on the US server to being in the top 5 consistently, surviving ambushes and actually killing people - that round went so much better than before, I was hoping it was the patch, cause it felt too good to be placebo.

I've been working late and then working out after and by the time I get home it's already 8-9 and I'm exhausted. Doctor told me I better start working out when I went about a month ago for my acid reflux, because he thought I was a bit overweight. I'll make sometime Saturday to hop in although during the week it's a bit more brutal for me. I do had some vaca time to take so when the dlc comes out I maybe around a bit more. I will say though my health has gotten better lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
