BF4's server has been frequently attacked recently

In the past half month, there have been people using DDOS and EA server backend bugs to attack players' servers. During the game battle, all players suddenly experience severe lag and crashes, or simply collapse. The connection between the game prompt and the server was lost, and the server was cleared. This situation occurs on servers around the world, especially on Locker and Metro map loop servers, which have become targets for some people.

  • i'm also having the same issue. I am hoping EA is aware of the issue. cant even find where to submit a ticket to drive awareness. Hope they fix it. I really was looking forward to getting the grind on and having some fun in BF4 servers... its not like its the server host's fault its purely security on EA's end...

    yep, hackers found multiple exploits over the past 10 yrs to crash servers. It seems like this time they found one which cuts connection between the server backend and the servers. I see multiple server being hit at same time.

    but yes i'm afraid this will not be EA's priority. They had 10 yrs to find this bug and they haven't.

    I'm really afraid that this could become a new "you have been kicked by punkbuster" problem(

  • They actually join the server they crash without spawning. [Edited: Name and shame] is one of the many. 

    They join your server and before the actually connect to your server, they cut connection between your server and Blaze, which is why most kick reasons is connection failed.

    Here is the proof, the second that player clicks to join, automatically disconnects;

    [10:06:11]  [Edited: Name and shame] has joined the server..
    [10:06:11]  [Edited: Name and shame] has disconnected from the server (reason: Player failed to join from queue)..

    [10:09:12]  [Edited: Name and shame] has joined the server..
    [10:09:13]  [Edited: Name and shame] has disconnected from the server (reason: Player failed to join from queue)..

    [10:12:49]  [Edited: Name and shame]has joined the server..
    [10:12:49]  [Edited: Name and shame] has disconnected from the server (reason: Player failed to join from queue)..
    [10:12:50]  [Edited: Name and shame] has disconnected from the server (reason: Player failed to join from queue)..
