Hey everyone, this is the second weekend in a row that I have settled down for some Battlefield 4 and I am constantly lagging on what is supposed to be a 50mbs connection. Has anyone else been having issues with this? If I can find a fix without calling and dealing with Comcast that would be great.
Could be something with your modem. I’m not sure on the logistics of modems but I’ve had bad experiences with them.
I have comcast and I’m not experiencing any lag. You should try connecting directly into your modem as apposed to wifi, if that’s your setup.
Your speed is irrelevant. I play on a 2mbps connection smoothy (most of the time). What are your pings looking like?
I’m using the router/modem combo from Comcast.
There are settings you need to allow. I believe it is the firewall or ICSP or something. You need to set the settings to minimal or open. You can do this by first signing into the router settings via browser. This is how I fixed lag and ping issued for the PC.
Thanks. When I tried logging into my router yesterday nothing would load. I will try it again and see what happens.
With Comcast you have a user ID and Password. You type your IP into the URL box in your browser and it will allow you to change settings for your router and connection.
Much as many might want to blame Comcast, unlikely it is them. The biggest cause of lag is out of region players. If you’re on a USA server with lots of EU or Asia players, you’re gonna have bad lag guaranteed.
I’ll experiment with the server browser and try and get some “local” servers and see what happens tonight.
