Following the launch of their Community Test Environment<\/a>\u00a0(CTE), Dice and EA have released a Battlfield 4 netcode improvement patch for the PC, Xbox 360, and PS3. The update will be released for the PS4 and Xbox One later this week.<\/p>\n

The updates were developed using the CTE, and are as follows:<\/p>\n

High Frequency Network Update<\/strong><\/p>\n

“For the PC, PS4, and Xbox One platforms, we are adding something we nicknamed the \u201cHigh Frequency Bubble\u201d. Within a certain radius of the player, we add the possibility to update the clients at a higher rate from the server. What this essentially means is that the server will update the client on what is happening more often than before. This normally results in a smoother, more \u201ccorrect\u201d player experience.”<\/p>\n

This update is turned off by default, and the setting will have to be enabled. There are three levels – low, medium, and high – which you can select based on the speed of your internet connection.\u00a0On PC, the server owners\u00a0are responsible for enabling the feature.<\/p>\n
