Hey T1gge, I wanted to tell you something about what I told you regarding the weapon grips. Go put any kind of grip on the AR160 and look at the rail on the gun, and slide on the grip. They do not interlock, the grip just floats under the gun. It is like that on 85 - 90% of the guns. So if you could pass this on to the weapon guys for them to fix, I would appreciate it. ---

> [@](#): > > _iSpyRecon said:_ > Still no word about South American servers. You’ll make high ping no longer an advantage. Great. No what about those that are on near dial up but not truly OOR because they do not have servers? Has any Developer played a simply round of Domination East coast only to be "dominated" by Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, etc. Thanks for your time… nine moths later. Yes, you’ve guess correctly. I am beyond fed up! Oh, but recoil was tweaked. Wonderful. Hi! South american servers are in the works. What platform are you on? Regards, ---

t1gge, please see my question on page 17 and 20 (I think) regarding disconnects from EA online. As of yet, it has not changed. When playing DT, I get disconnected from EA right as the round ends (between “your team won” and the scoreboard. This only occurs for me on DT maps, most recently on propaganda rush.. Any feedback is appreciated. ---

> [@](#): > > _t1gge said:_ > And you’ve tried another webbrowser btu Chrome? We’ve seen some issues with chrome and the battlescreen feature too. > Hyper threading? I don’t think AMD CPU’s have hyperthreading, I know intels do and I’ve checked my bios and I saw no option for hyperthreading anywhere in the bios under various menu’s so I’m assuming it’s an intel only thing. I tried a different solution but it didn’t really help Launch BF4 using chrome and then close chrome to see if the stuttering reduced significantly or stopped.. It didn’t help ☹ ---

You can unload a full clip into the enemy point blank and they will not take any damage, they are only able to take damage after the knife animation has completed which means unloaded more ammo into them. > > #3 Is there any talk about changing the knifing system? I’m hoping the knifing system gets changed back to the slash system like from previous BF titles. The current knifing system of locking your character so they can’t do anything is very buggy and getting stopped from doing anything while it does the animation is very awkward, it takes away from the whole high paces experience. > > #4 I play North American servers and today experienced where the sound would stutter the whole match, my best guess on the cause is there were two Japanese players in the server, I also encountered the expected out of region player issues, getting killed behind cover etc which I know is being worked on but the sound stutter is extremely irritating, I played through with it going on the whole match and hoped it would stop when the next match came around but it continued through the whole next match, after the second match was over I ended up quitting the server and finding a different server and the sound stutter was gone. Please see above ---

> [@](#): > > _IvanTehFennec said:_ > t1gge, for the retail patches, can you guys start keeping exact patch-notes? Summarizing changes is fine, but can’t you just add "For a thorough changelog, click here" to the end of the "Generalized" patch-note posts? All we get now is "Fixed this issue. Fixed this. Balanced stuff." Why can’t we get "Fixed this issue with this hardware, where x caused y. Balanced AK12: "? SOE with Planetside 2’s patch-notes make a great example. > > One more thing, please, for the love of god, can you get the modelers to fix the Dirt Bike’s speedometer? Two of the buttons (Blue and green?) aren’t parented to the speedometer itself, so when you turn the handle-bars, only two of the buttons move with the box, the other two stay stationary. It looks awful. All coming patchnotes are more or less published on the CTE as we go (for the general changes and PC - per console platform will be separate of course). So what we publish there is what will go into the patchnotes (no secrets). Dirtbike? Can you show me what you mean? 🙂 ---

> [@](#): > > _Like30000ninjas said:_ > Thanks t1gge: one final question. I’ve had a rash of "disconnected from EA" since the patch… Seemingly ALWAYS at the end of the round before the scoreboard appears. Is this a new issue, or something on my end? I’m in the PS4, get 58/12 Mbps, and it’s always dead on when I check.. Thanks again! We’ve had both backend connectivity issues (ea login systems) - a hosting issue and some other more minor issues since friday, sadly. It has affected a lot of players negatively. I’m sorry for that. ---

I can confirm, the game feels completely off since Dragons teeth came out, like the abomination 2 months ago, before the netcode changes were applied. Hitreg is bad, the “dying behind cover” phenomenon is more frequent. I mostly play against people with 10-40 ping and I experience this all the time. ---

Hi t1gge Please be my earlier Santa Claus Here are my wishes: 1. Ping feature on scoreboard (may be add, if it’s possible, an option for private servers like auto kick for high ping. But at least the ping feature) 2. Decreasing the delay/lag comp a bit. right now it’s really horrible. It’s like those who have a better connection are really penalized. You, almost all the time, died against a player who’s not even in your screen or gettin the OHK feelin. 3)Character reactions is too slow (example: Delay between running to ADS) 3. Enemies characters animations are really buggy. It doesn’t show you where the enemies are lookin at. Those are my whises, specially the ping feature and delay/lang comp. I cant even enjoy the game. I have to stop playing after 2 or 3 game as the experience is horrible. I put the High freq update to high and Network smoothing to 0% but with the current situation is useless. Please i’m beggin you, i just want to enjoy a bit this game. Thx you P.S.: sorry for the bad english, hope you understand what i’m tryin to explain ---
