So I went to hop on BF4 today and I went to the “My Rented Servers” tab to check on my servers population and it said something like: 48/64 [1] which if there’s that many open slots why are there is 1person in queue? Aside from that I joined it and got immediately welcomed with my own queue position of 36 out of 38. After it glitched all the way down to the point I joined my server I noticed about 5 minutes later that my server was set to “Official” after I set it to “Ranked”. I left the server, applied the settings again and re-joined and waited for the server to reset, when it did nothing changed. So I can’t change anything about the server and it’s stuck on Official. I contacted EA Support over a live chat and they restarted my server for me, in turn it would be empty and I’d have to re-populate it. After they did that, I restarted BF4 checked my server and it said there were still people playing. I should also mention I’ve restored content licenses on my PS4 and that hasn’t helped either. So at this point I’m frustrated at the fact that I have no idea how to fix it.
Edit: I’ve provided screenshots of what I’m talking about.
do you switch it back and forth from 64 to 32/20 player modes?
if so this issue has been around since they bought in the 45hz tick rate on servers up to 32 players.. contact ea help to reset the server… unfortunately the DEV’s dont care about a 3 year old game, that and they only care about the so called pc master race!!
My fix for this is to run 2 servers for your platoons one on small game modes @45hz (20 - 44 players) and one for large modes @30hz (64 player)
Nope, It stays on Conquest Large. It’s a Golmud 24/7 server. I haven’t changed the game mode, map or anything of the sort since I bought it.
ive spent countless hours war-ing about server bugs and they do nothing i even posted on these forums but the DEV team never respond or acknowledge that this is an issue on ps4..
good luck
Vikram
