Maybe… Maybe not. Hopefully they can do something. Tone down the lag compensation or something. Save the oor ruining the game for the masses. They at least owe us that after the fiasco at launch.
Or possibly quick match could be fixed to only put you in your own region or close by.
I believe the quick match problem is a myth, everytime ive tested it it’s put me in a European server(UK player) unless it only works in certain regions. Test it out see what happens for you, would be interesting to see people’s results.
@Kev - quick match is something I have never used. But a few time I’ve joined pals, and the game has seemed a bit ‘off’. So checked where the server was and its been West Coast US, and Australian servers. We are in scotland. And I asked wtf u doing in Aussie servers etc. and they said they had just used quick match. Didn’t know it put u over the other side of the planet sometimes.
Quick match is something i rarely use tbh, but i have been placed in US servers before, so i will always use search now.
I’m Canadian, use server browser, always play in East US servers (set in filter). That being said…
The GF’s kid was visiting over the holidays and was playing, I noticed how horrible the game seemed to be running so I asked him how he chose his server. His reply, ‘Quick Match’…
I looked into it and it had put him in a European server. The next time he used QM, it was an Australian server. So I explained to him why the game seemed so bad and the difference playing within your own region makes. His reply, ‘to confusing and lengthy to pick a server’… Smh, kids these days
If QM applied the filter settings, it wouldn’t be a problem. Sadly, they don’t. This should never have been changed as this is how it worked in BF3. IMO, QM shouldn’t even be an option, or keep it ‘greyed out’ until browser filter settings are made. Then again, the later probably wouldn’t help as many would probably just check off any region other than their own
Your GF’s kid is exactly the type of gamer that DICE wants to capture with BF4.
With that said, I do agree that DICE needs to do a better job of simplifying it’s “easy” process.
DICE logic.
QM is interesting…
Anyone who plays in AU, if we choose a gametype not available here like say Rush, and QM to it, it will never put us OOR. It will put us in an empty local server.
Overseas it seems that’s not the case…
My theory is that QM will match you to any server where you have a <200ms ping.
It’s a strange one indeed, I’ve only tried it with conquest I think but when i was testing it out it only put me in Euro servers, maybe it’s because my server search settings are set on Europe, might test it out again next time I get on, hopefully soon if my missus would hurry up and pee off to bed 
It’s annoying when they won’t go to bed and let you play eh…
Some servers were weird tonight . One dice dragons teeth server was terrible. My ping to it was 337, tried it a few times, same every time. Took a second for a kill to register after shots had hit, same with hit markers.
Ping on other servers varied from 30 - 80. Game wasn’t all that bad until my last two games, where the hit detection just went to mush. Was 30-9 on sunken dragon, playing aggressive recon around d and e, then bullets just started going straight thru enemies, ended up 36-21. Then on Pearl market the hit detection was downright god awful, called it quits after that.
I want a dollar for every time I see a vapour trail go through a bad guy and then see him turn and kill me on 100%.
And another dollar for every bad guy literally 1 foot away from me who hipfire doesn’t hit.
Then I will buy EA.
…
Profit? 
Have not played this game or posted since the “big patch” dropped. A buddy of mine asked me to jump on. Same horrific lag to the point of comedy. Absolutely nothing has changed since back when I was posting about OORs and most had no clue, or did not believe what I was saying. Now everyone understands and agrees about the issues with BR, Japan, etc. However, in my testing I also believe fully that it does NOT work both ways. I can jump on Asia and still see the very same one frame deaths, full clip to get the kill and shot behind cover nonsense as I do when playing local with OORs. So, how can it be ping if when playing OOR and I am thousands of miles away supposedly? I have also tested choking my up and my down to dial-up AOL days and zero change. I do not know the true cuase or the fix but I do know no other FPS since the days of DOOM is forever broken and pure trash.
Peace all - have fun

these servers are getting wayyyyyyyyyyyy worse by the day more and more japan players , pisses me off game is misarable to play good thing theres new fps games coming 2015 and i wont be buying hardline bf games are a joke dealt with this sh!t since preorder , never again will i buy a anther game from this company lag lag lag lag in every dam server !! i might get a good game 1 in 20 anymore. this OOR stuff needs to be fixed ASAP!! its a bf4 plague and it will kill the game.
Love joing any NA Server mostly west 29-33ms ping. But when I do there mostly Europe an Asia players (25-40)with pings from 190-400ms. This just makes gameplay fustrating and unplayabe.
Lw ping Vs High ping players
Hit detection is horrible and delayed takes server longer then it shouls to give kill message because of ping thats if you even get hit markers and when you do there delayed about 6 rounds.
1 frame kills all enemy data gets to you at once cause there data not updateing as quick as it should.
100-0 health in cover or vehicle because of high ping player delay to server.
These are the most annoying things IMO.
I can deal with players from regions that dont have servers because they have no choice but to play with a high ping.
No its not my internet 0 packet loss and stable.
Nobody in a server with 300+ ping should be going 50-5. Since you shoulb be severley delayed due to the high ping.
It’s aweful today, me and my my mate started on conquest, absolutely disgraceful, tried rush for the less players still disgraceful, capture the flag so so poor, now we’re playing team death match because it’s the only playable game mode. They might as well just shut the servers down on the weekend, it’s like United Nations in each server
yep getting worse by the day the more they figure out that they get better games in U S servers the more that join its a huge problem that needs a fix ,
What’s ironic is that the majority of BF4 players are not American, yet the US is where a lot of these servers are located.
DICE logic.
According to the IP addresses of the servers I have traced, they are in fact located where they say to be. It boggles my mind because as I have said, playing OOR does not work both ways. Nor does throttling to dial-up both up and down or each alone. I have spent more time trying to find a fix then I care to admit. Simply put, nothing works. Placing a basic strain on your connection helped ease the one frame deaths and losing every fire fight you know you had the drop on but since the big patch, nothing works. I was very vocal with the devs and pushed for a level field and they promised change - it never came and the game is pure trash. The only fix is a plane ticket. The results of all the testing make me think the servers truly are in the US but the IPs say different.
ps. I should add that I have a method to alter my ping on the fly and I have found that high ping (every bar equals about 100ms) the higher your ping, your gun simply shoots air. So a synthetic high ping 100-500ms does not help, playing OOR does not help and bandwidth throttling does not help… that I have found. I would love nothing more then to find a fix to help others enjoy the game but… I give up lol
DICE should just relocate the servers to those regions where there are BF4 players left.
It’s not like there are that many US players left playing BF4.
Most have moved on to better games like Destiny and COD AW.
And why haven’t you then? If the games so broken, why do you keep playing and moaning about it!
Mang logic is indeed, broken.
He’s a troll that’s why.
