^^^^^^This…our rented clan server has been down since June 14th. Occasionally we have been able to join it only to have it crash multiple times. The platform is Xbox One and the message we receive when trying to join is “failed to connect to server, please try again”. As expensive as these servers are, they should at least be reliable. No reply from EA about what’s going on or if we will be given extended server time, so I’m giving this information to you guys since it seems you’re the only ones that care enough to ask the players about the problems we are having. ---

> [@](#): > > _mjay79 said:_ > I have a question. Why can’t you run a CTE for the new consoles? why is it just on the pc wouldn’t it make sense to have a test environment for ps4, xbox1 etc. That way your actually testing things for that platform, and it would have a better chance of working alot better. Also why can’t we see are ping on consoles. I know it’s on the battlelog on my laptop but wouldn’t make more sense to get rid of connection bar and put the ping there?? Thanks for keeping us up to date and thanks for keeping up the work to fix the game. Trust me - we want to. It’s just much harder getting something like that flying through the cert procedures and with the platform owners (PC no platform owner). In terms of testing, a majority of the testing is possible on PC (anything gameplay - which is our focus now for instance). Specific things like controller, autoaim, parties etc is of course not testable. But a majority of the things is. So we gain alot for all platforms by doing PC - and get good feedback too. It might not represent _everyone_ of course, but we are aware of that of course. ---

I’m sorry you guys experience that. I know there is communication coming about these issues with rental servers. The biggest problem right now is that there is not enough slots for 64 player servers I believe. Was your server a 64 player server? ---

I think the biggest FIX would be to A.) Provide severs for South America or B.) stop allowing them such advantage. I say this respectfully. I understand that there are planned fixes in the lag compensation and high ping abuse but does all of this jive with the poorly connected issue? Have any of the Devs played a simple Domination on a US server? Have you seen the constant high scores (40-4 for example) by Brazil and Mexico (for example) while others are struggling to break even? I read that you cannot force regional play and I understand but what about those without servers? The SA issue is spoken about nonstop on the forums. I just would like to know if Devs are aware and if something will be done. Kindly. ---

> [@](#): > > _Kintraills1993 said:_ > Are you aware of the automatic revive bug on PS3? If not, you need to know that sometimes when a teammate gets kill very close to you, when you shot to the guy that killed him with your primary weapon(and you are still close to the body), the soldier doesn’t fire, instead he takes the defibrillator and revive your teammate…of course that’s bad because it let you helpless in front of your enemy and it’s a secure death. For more information, I’ve seen that happen in conquest, domination and TDM, the loadout that I had in those moments were medic bag in the gadget 1, defibrillator in the gadget 2, combat medic in the field upgrade and several different weapons. Sorry for my english, I hope I made myself clear. Wait - which soldier gets the defibs? Your or the killer of your friend? ---

Explain to me what you mean there is not enough slots for 64 player servers.. I rented a PS4 server the day they came out and to this day.. Number 60 of 90 day rental, this server has yet to be used.. It has been set on official and not once has quick match been able to fill it.. Friends and I have sat in it for hours and it does nothing, administration of these rented servers are a joke, are you doing something about that?.. ---

Thanks for the quick reply. Yes, it is a 64 player server and we have not had any issues with it up until the 13th. On that day we had quite a few players report abnormal textures, objects floating in air, and shaking kill cards. Then the server would crash after the first few seconds of entering the match. Since then only a few players have been able to join the server and cannot complete a full match before a crash. Trying different game modes, map rotations, and player count does not resolve the issue. ---

Are you looking at the server browser fix? And are you looking at spawn trapping? I just posted a longer post on the last page. It seems like the spawn trapping is what is making players not like infantry based maps like metro and lockers. A fix for this would be to spawn them somewhere else other than their main spawn like on the other side of the map. It would also be a change in where your fighting on that map. This usually applies to conquest maps that are rectangular and not in a circle. If you do respond than thank you! ---

Ive noticed a constant overall frame rate drop on pearl market. Its quite similar to the lag problem the NS maps had, but its more constant. Also the new weapons (Bulldog, MPX) are a bit overpowered. The ballistic shield is very ineffective. Im on xbox one. Thanks ---

Every time you try to pick up a map weapon (M32 GL, USAS-12, etc.) you almost always drop it a buch of times before you finally end up picking it up. I have noticed this bug since I got the game a month after release and I would really like to see it fixed. ---

I have noticed this bug since I got the game a month after release and I would really like to see it fixed. If you hold the pick up button and while still holding the button, throw a grenade. You will keep the pick up every time. ---

Why cant you join as a commander in Chainlink? Whenever I join I get stuck in a weird glitch. After I quit the game, and start the multiplayer again I see the option for rented servers while normally I don’t have it. Why do I still get shot while I took cover behind a wall? Why cant we have the ping shown into the scoreboard? Why cant admins have an auto kick for high ping? Why can’t we have a votekick option? > [@](#): > > _nhow7108 said:_ > Also the new weapons (Bulldog, MPX) are a bit overpowered No they’re not. They’re fine, if you get owned by them it doesn’t mean they’re OP. Almost everybody uses now these new weapons because they’re new. Thats why it looks like they’re OP. ---
