Battlefield 4 Rubberbanding Lag
I have had the same exact problem in the BF4 beta and I didn't think I would get the same problem in the full game. This lag seems to only affect me and it doesn't matter what game I'm in at all. T...

I've managed to play a few matches without any issues, but there's still rubberbanding in most matches I join and random crashing as well. My computer is more than capable of running the game on full with great FPS, so these must be server side issues.
I agree that it is a server side issue. My only question is why did this lag only start effecting me when they released server patch 3?
I was able to stop lagging by plugging in my ethernet cable. I bought a switch, and some more ethernet cables so i can have my laptop and desktop plugged in at the same time now.
We shouldnt have to buy hardware specifically for this game, but ya'know.. :P
I'm also one of the very few who suffer from this severe issue as shown in qqstrat's video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZx2QvF-_OY
Here's my pov from beta, I get the exact same experience with the full release of battlefield 4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0atOxjctGw0
I spent hours during the beta trying to troubleshoot the issue. First thing I did was rule out my connection.
I ran pathping and pingplotter to servers I was playing on at the time. I received anywhere from 30-50% incoming packet loss within battlefield 4 (via ingame performance test). Yet less than 1% packet loss outside of battlefield 4 through pathping and pingplotter to the server.
Ping is unaffected and is not the cause, as you can see from the video, our pings are fine both ingame and out. Jitter was minimal and plays no part in battlefield 4's incoming packet loss dilemma.
Grabbed a couple routers from work to test on my connection, same result.
Changed up my line profile through my ISP. Interleaving on/off, lowlatency/high reliability profiles, same result.
Went from windows 7, to 8, to 8.1. Updated, reinstalled and manually updated my NIC drivers.
As a final test , I downloaded battlefield 3 (even though all my other games were playing fine). Battlefield 3 played fine on all 64P servers I tried.
Next on my list is bringing home a complete PC with different hardware to my main machine for testing. Beyond that there is little more I could try honestly.
