High tickrate server

Hello all,

I am having some problems with connecting to the servers of Battlefield 4. Hopefully one of you guys recognizes the issue below and can tell me how to solve it.

Issue Summary:

Having problems connecting to Battlefield 4 servers due to a high tickrate server. (see picture attached) 

I really don't know what this means or how I can solve this problem. Every server I join shows me this message. (see issue details or picture attached)


I think the message shows me a way to solve this problem, but al the game related/technical definitions are hard for me to understand.


Issue Details:

This server is running a higher tickrate.

 Increased requirements for both client and server are in effect.

 We recommend playing with a framerate that exceeds the current tickrate setting.

 Bandwidth usage (up & down) will also be increased.

 Keep an eye out for any of these icons on your HUD.

 orange icons represents warnings, red icons represent severe issues which have a very negative effect on gameplay.

 It is recommended to try and find another server if you see any red icons!


Platform

PS4


Region:

Netherlands


Date & Time:

08-02-2016 untill now!

Hopefully you can help me.

  • Are you not able to connect to the server at all or does it just show you the message?  I think this is just a notification message and not an error.

    That is correct, in all higher ticket rate servers this message will be shown on the spawn screen to warn the player and show him what do error images mean.

    @PeetStrik-NL In case you are having problems and your system cant handle the servers you will be shown some images to warn you about that, this picture just gives you an explanation on what those images mean and to give you some perspective on should you stay or leave the server. Obviously if you get spammed by red images and you also see performance problems you should choose a lower ticket rate server.

    As for your connection problems judging from your image in the OP you are already in the server and in game, just close the image and continue to play as it does not do any game blocking but serves as a warning. Even if your system can fully handle the server with no problems you will get the warning anyway so dont worry as that is how it is supposed to work.

    I am able to connect to the server.

    But the strange thing is that I have never seen this message before and since a while every server I connect to shows me this message.

    I also have the feeling that my performance are less good as before...

    It's fairly new.  There was an update released awhile back to update the netcode to allow the servers to send out a faster update rate to players.  You are probably now just playing on servers that have began using this feature.  If you are having issues on these servers you may want to not use them anymore as your network may not be supporting the faster tickrate.

  • I get the same thing but I am getting rubber banding and lag on PC....I have Gig service so bandwidth isn't a problem.....I have a newer PC with a 1080 card......how do I adjust my system to match the high tick rate

    Hi @PeetStrik-NL ,

    I am located very near you and also on PS4/PS5.

    Never seen that error warning before previously, so eager to hear if you could share the name please on the server that you now experience this on?  I could then try and logon to the same server and see if also getting same result as you do.

    I'm closing this thread to stop it from being necroed.

    If you have any issues with Battlefield, please make a new topic about your problems and what kind of steps you have tried to solve them.
