I tried playing a game yesterday, had to quit right away. The stutter/lag on my PS4 Pro drove me up the wall!!
Well I mean, they gotta release something right? Before this unplayable stare everyone was raging about new weapons, maps etc. Now we have 6 maps coming through the span of 5 months with new weapons ans skins to boot
Same on PS4 pro and the German server is a lag fest. It gets even worse when destruction happens. This is unacceptable for a Dice game and UK and Ireland servers need to return.
If they got away with it in BF4, they’ll get away with it here … maybe … BF4 was rather overhyped, so that helped it recover faster than this game will.
Totally agree.
Playable for me ps4
The easy answer would be that the people making the maps aren’t the same people that would be working on bug and balance fixes. Plus the game really does need new content badly too.
DICE are working on the issue, if in the patch in two weeks time no progress has been made then I will 
Are you sure about these 5 months? Its a DICE, they know how make nasty suprises…Or you learned nothing?
It’s not just loss of datacenters that is causing this, it’s a widespread patching issue that introduced stutterring in April’s patch - then May’s patch compounded it with further performance issues. Even if AWS London comes back online we would still have performance issues.
It’s not unplayable stop being over dramatic. 100% agree the fps drops on console are bad and need sorting asap but it’s not unplayable by any means.
Just tried to play, and the lag and stuttering is the worst I have ever seen it. Couldn’t get out of a building I was in.
C’MON, Dice.
I’m sure people are playing a different game to me at times. I have got more and more fps drops since the change in server but playing since release day I’ve never experienced anything like this.
Do you mean you literally couldn’t move because of constant fps drops/lag? Is this PC or console?
No issues, PS4 slim
The are FPS drops on PS4 but far from unplayable.
It clearly IS loss of state of datacenters: next to FPS drops, the server performance issue icon (and everything that comes with that) is the other big issue with the game.
And that issue became a lot bigger after the removal of servers.
It’s not unplayable all the time, you are right, but I was playing Mercury this moring on my Xbox one X and just as always when the round starts it’s still fine but further on in the game, when more is going on and more being destructed the game becomes unplayable (at least for me) and it’s has nothing to do with a bad internet connection, I have a ping of 18/20. Hope they fix it soon.
I don’t pretend to know anything about data centers etc but these issues have really surfaced following the change in UK servers to German servers. Seems unlikely to just be a coincidence.
I’m on, ps4 and I kept jumping around from one room of the building to another. Would just get outside and then it would jump me back inside. Had to quit out it was so bad.
Finally get a new map to experience the same bugs + new ones.
Joins new map first awesome thing to experience is plane engine sound stuck.
Get update to game for fixes.
Joins new map get plane engine sound + stuck round ending music blasting off.
BF V is rising to the top of my list as the most frustrating game i have ever played and yet there is no good alternative to what battlefield is suppose to be.
