OCE - Aussie servers

I've been talking to a large discord community of gamers, and people I meet while either in a squad in BF or playing REDSEC, and the gist is, Australian servers are just horrible. We have NZ and Australia playing on servers that would have been better left in 1990.

NZ has a much better network infrastructure than Australia, has the same priced data centres with VPS solutions that don't throttle users because of lack of bandwidth (have used for decades on multiple online FPS) but no, we're lumped in Australia, where half of their country, and any of us unlucky to have to connect to them just suffer from packet loss, PACKET LOSS, and packet loss. It gets so bad, you move left, half a second later it like of stutters you across. This only happens in normal BF modes like conquest etc, but the BR you get intermittent yellow flags but nothing like this.

Another thing of concern is, and I have checked this with many other users, it feels like after 10 minutes of gameplay when it starts to do this, our connections go from 1000MB/s down 500MB/s up to 50-100 down and 10 UP. It's like we're getting a packet attack and a DOS attack from your server.

What's going on with that? As soon as I close BF my network is fine again, and this is affecting many people in our region.

Would love for the team to actually give OCE users, not just Australians, servers we can actually play on because at the moment, we can't play. We literally have to quit the game. This is not affecting ALL users, probably more so the Aussies in NSW and QLD, but I do know a couple that are seeing the same as me. Perfectly fine network then 10 mins into a conquest/large scale mode match and the yellow circle and square is showing and your teleporting across the ground and unplayable.

  • nziced​ are you seeing yellow rectangles or squares? If you're seeing rectangles than your framerate is below 60fps and that's causing network lag.
