Hey guys,

BF3 is upon us and its excellent! However there are is a lot of server lag, which makes it hard to enjoy the game to its fullest.

Please provide us with info about any server lag you encounter. This topic is not limited to any of the providers, so please make sure you name the server you had the lag on.

Please note that server lag is the type of lag where you are pulled back a few steps every few seconds. Please also make sure that the lag you are experiencing is not due to your line or pc specs.

The intention is to keep the server providers informed so they can address the issues.
 
My first game on a 64 player map was horrible constant lagging (not rubberbanding as OP mentioned). After playing around with my settings and there being no change I realised it's either my line or the servers. Moved over to a 32 player map and can you believe it completely opposite experience than on the 64 player map. So my conclusion, 64 player servers are laggy and I'll stay clear from them until it's fixed. Played on both a mweb and igame 64 player map and both had the same amount of lag.
 
I only had issues on the mweb severs with 64 players. Other than that was fine. Cool game. Not to sure about origin though. I guess it works pretty well.

Hi I have only tried mweb, but I noticed when there was more than around 55 people it would start to lag, other than that it was pretty flawless.
 
Something really needs to be done about this.
I've been playing in 64player maps mostly, and the lag is terrible. Constant rubber banding, and lots of people in the chat complaining about the same (so it's not just me).

Pretty much all the iGame and WAGE servers are absolutely useless (come on, fix your sh** already!), and the mweb ones are mostly okay.

This is really ruining the game for a lot of people.
 
Lag everywhere, 64 player matches, 32 player matches, Wage servers, MWEB servers... It all started today, yesterday was perfect. Not sure what went wrong...
 
What Isen said. Although, the lag is worse on the 58+ slot servers. It's not ISP/host specific either. MWEB, iGame etc all lag...
 
Am I the only one not having these issues? :confused:

I played for about 2 hours last night and had no issues with lag, but I did stay away from the 64 player servers.
 
I wish I could play :( Stupid thing did not download properly and I am out of options.
 
Guys,

Maybe include connection specs and area in your posts so we can find any obvious ones popping up more often than others. Could be the servers, but could also be contention on the access point or specific ISP's.

Area: Fourways
Provider: iBurst
Connection: 2MB SilverSurfer
Package: 25Gb
Signal 100%
Error/Packet Loss < 1%

On all providers servers I have similar results(SGS, iGame, MWEB). Ping on the server list (filtered to SA) is usually between 67 and 110, but in-game the performance SWAK, with 40% of the time battling with lag (rubberbanding).

My experience has been on all game types regardless of 32 or 64 player maps.

Regards
 
I'm running a 4mb line and everything is running 60fps.
But on every 64-player map i have played there has been lag. Even some 32-player maps.
I think this is because overseas players are connecting to our servers.
Last night I played on a server where the admin was actively kicking and blocking every user or IP that wasn’t from ZA. It was the smoothest game i have played so far, no lag at all.

I suspect the same thing. The one server that was laggy had a level 38 player on it, now he might be a local that just used vpn to play early but I suspect he wasn't a local.

I played a 32 player rush game on Hypergamerz last night and there was zero lag.

For reference I'm running on a 1mb line and for more reference, on Saturday evening both my brother and myself were playing on a 64 player map on the same line and had no lag whatsoever.
 
My feedback. On the 64 player servers the only ones where i play without any lag is the iGame servers. The rest of the servers are all VERY LAGGY. On the 32 players servers there are some Wage ones thats fine but also a lot thats LAGGY. What i dont get is, i'm a MWEB customer, and i have the worst lag on the MWEB servers. Doesnt make sense, please fix this mweb.

I also have a lot of Server Disconnects. I must have unlocked my Heatseeker missiles 5 times yesterday just because of the stupid disconnects.

I played on Saturday night.
MWEB 64 player map was very laggy.
The 32 player was fine.
I only played in the MWEB and iGame servers and they were smooth enough.
I prefer the smaller maps. 64 player is just chaotic.

I was playing on a friends PC in Alberton on 4mb Afrihost Uncapped and it was laggy on the bigger servers as said above, The smaller ones were fine.

Does anyone know if there is a way to see the ms(latency) in game? i didnt get to play too long but i didnt see anywhere that shows the latecy or FPS?
 
hey guys

i have had a few rubberbanding, but nothing serious. worst of this was on 64 player maps. have had minimal issues when playing on 32 player servers. i play mostly on MWeb, but other ZA servers also come in to play.

Dare I say less lag on SGS than WAGE and MWeb?

Lag, nonetheless.

Yeps, I agree with that. Had the Least amount of lag on the SGS Servers. MWEB & WAGE failed badly with lag.

Only Server I had NO lag on, was on the iGame SS Brimstone clannie Server :) Had some Awesomeness fun there.
