Reason: The CDN at akamai provides the DDS-Texture files for the users emblems. For some reason some servers respond with an HTTP Upgrade request, that will initiate a false payload. This usually happens 99.999% as plaintest HTTP.

Solution: Make sure the CDN will only respond with HTTP 100.00% at the time.

Edit: It's not an upgrade request. The provider sends a 0 byte payload instead. A DICE Battelog System Engineer is working at it. Thanks to DICE to make us happy again!

@IntelDCIBackdoor I think we found a problem. It's not a HTTP 4xx which is causing issues... It's a HTTP 200 with a 0 bytes response for the DDS-Texture files which is the problem (I suspect). thanks for these theories and insights though as it actually helped me pinpoint an issue at Akamai. Hoping to have it solved soon.

    Actually one of my previous post was shadow banned, because it contained more detailed informations including ip-adresses.

    Well, at least i was right with the corrupted payload, but i hope that the HTTPS Upgrade didn't cause much confusion  😇 

    Thank you for looking into this bug and making us happy again!
