Currently only 2 have Conquest running. Pigeons empty, yet occupying 3 or so servers…LUL
Didn’t they just roll these servers out this morning?
They were supposed to HK also but I’m guessing they sorted consoles first… I’ve seen a couple of HK test servers but the pings were again shitter than the Japanese ones.
I see a couple of ‘Africa’ Servers, they all still have 160+ ping. Not worth playing, can’t connect to the servers at all, tells me that there’s a technical error or that i’m not allowed to connect to the server.
There’s also only 2 servers that are full, with 10 people in queue to play, also at a disgusting 160 ping like the EU Servers.
I thought you guys(EA/DICE) deployed to South Africa, which will give us local ping…DOESN’T LOOK LIKE IT M8.
10 server of witch 3 is working.. then again.. why are we surprised.. EA/dice f__k up ever game some how. the BF1 launch was not to bad.. but now the just like usual disappointed again!
Come on guys lets not be too harsh on them they have a reputation to hold as the worst gaming company
Guys, come back in 2 days. It’ll be fine then. I guess their DevOps team just haven’t catered for the influx of players at the time the server was put into production mode.
ROFLMAO. Top Comment.
Come back in two days when the pings will still be the same?
no, come back in 2 days when they actually deployed to south africa, physically, and not some cheap peering EU service like they are now… total BS
And would you suggest that’s whats happening with the HK ones also?
Okay, So, Given the fact that they are deploying their dedicated servers to 3 different countries, in 3 different timezones, it’s not easy to complete them all at once. You need a big team of dudes to handle setting up the servers. These dudes, probably do it via SSH remotely and only have a specific time to put these servers into play. Thereafter they monitor logs of the server and ‘tweak’ it so that it works as expected by DICE Official.
Given that these are the freshest of fresh servers you can get, we do not know (or I don’t) what the actual status of each server is.
Patience is your friend.
Let’s hold thumbs they resolve their issues within the next 24h, other than that, all I can add is, go play CS:GO so long and practise your AWP skills 
Update:
Three of my mates on my contact list have confirmed that earlier today they were receiving 30ms Ping on ‘South Africa’ Servers for BF1. Confirmed.
This should roll out later tonight and/or tomorrow.
I take it they are still double-checking if everything is running fine after their first dry run earlier today (Like a ‘Pre Production’).
Same is happening with Dubai servers, its a small city and ppl are getting 150ms here LOL. Also if they’re a least bit smart they’ll put servers in singapore.
Its full now, theyre gonna need more servers wherever they have deployed them recently. And here we waited 5 months after the games release just so we can have Lag in our regions lol. Save your money kids, dont buy premium 
They might be trying to peer with more isp’s so they’ll keep changing routes until everyone can get decent latency. It might take a while tho
After the deployment of servers “console” are you able to play operations?
When i try to load operations it either gives me an error msg saying its either changing maps or it had been shut down.
So whats the point of having servers but no one plays operations by the looks of it.
No server rentals.
So i have a game i paid for R1800 including premium, uhm and i cant even play operations anymore have to wait in a que with 10 other only 2 servers per game play but like six custom servers “back to basics”.
Using quickmatch to find an operations server seems to work. It will slot you into a server that is populating, whereas selecting your chosen one via the Operations menu will probably get you into an empty server
Same prob in SEA we got HongKong server for SEA but only 2 haha and HK server ping is even worse than Japan server thks EA 
True what you saying but if I do a quick search that means i’m going to play a map I might probably don’t want to play meaning whats the point of having a search page for operations but you cant use it you have to play what Battlefield wants you to play.
