the 'when stood still sliding' seems to have made an un-welcome comeback from bad company 1

It's down to player numbers/server slots again.
With squad rush there's never any lag, maybe the odd spike now and again, but not as bad as the bigger games. But there are fewer players of Squad Rush.

It comes down to the same argument again, Why the hell are DICE doing the hosting, why not allow server rentals for the PS3? It might not be a big market for PS3 gamers, but it takes the strain off DICE, and gives us, and people like us who are willing to pay something a better gaming experience. Also if people knew we had our own server, you develop a community, people (public) tend to come back to well administered servers will little or no lag, and tend to want to communicate in other ways, ie, become forum members.

EPIC FAIL for going down the road of Bad Company 1, server wise at least.

Game crashing at the start of the round
Pfft.

same.....still seem to be getting alot of 'in game crashing'.

one of the reasons why i resorted to playing GTA 4 last week :face palm:

teambalance
I mean 4 vs 1?
WTH?

had no end of ps3 freezes and disconnects today, well annoying, i think out of the 30 games i played i disconnected from 25 of them.

Problem with your broadband? Packet loss?

well some is eas servers, on the router log says i have been connectin to asia04 and wcoastusa etc also the average server i get is based in switzerland.

many of the "check your connection" messages are from ea shit setup.

but yes, some is isp because today and last night i have pinged and checked the psn server ip's and i get 90% packet loss at some points, there is a isp issue with the psn.

also our isp is upgrading the UBR's and they wont be done till approx july ffs!
brhm-core-1b-ae1-0.network.virginmedia.net << over utilised and is causing me issues...these units cost 100,000 pounds, so it isnt a quick fix

the latency to psn exceeds 800ms at times! - so yes isp is huge factor right now.
but the game is just even worse, putting me on asian and swiss servers? then i freeze..then i disconnect..and freeze and disconnect and freeze and yeah.. disconnect.

I've suspected for a while that BFBC is sensitive to packet loss, but your situation is rediculous, you might not be able to play a decent game for months now!

Good time to hone your C&C skills then Sy, as we had 3 lag free games last night. Might be a different story if we played when all the little pricks are checking facebook or whatever the hell it is they do.

They need to sort out the spawn raping by moving the attackers field of play further forward.

I jumped on last night and this is the result... We turned it around in a couple of minutes, we still lost, but not because of me!
