so far ive noticed the only laggy games are the ones with 64 players in maybe it was a bad mistake to put this into the game they should have just stuck to 32 players per game

I leave for a week and now the game is unplayable.
My internet connection is good, I am getting a solid 10megs down and 1.5 up and my ping is in the 20-30ms range.
Whenever I am playing everyone bounces around on the screen, Vehicles disappear then reappear somewhere else, as well as people. I played with the network smoothing factor in the options as others had suggested this and that has improved my hit detection in game and I am getting kills but then people will appear out of nowhere and kill me.
The more players on the game the worse the problem becomes.
I have tried using a friends internet connection and the problem still persists. I am pretty sure I have eliminated the connection as the issue. What options do I have other than re-downloading the 35 gigabyte file and hoping it fixes this. Anyone else having this problem?
It is not the system or the game it is DICE's servers. They are cutting costs but will either have to spend more money to upgrade their servers or cut things out of the game....this is coming from and actual DICE server technician.
So, I spent 15 - 20 mins speaking with an EA Game Advisor.
Bottom line is that they are moniotring all issues after the new release while DICE is working on improving and fix the Rubberlagging , Frame Drops, and Sound drop issues. The guy with 0 helath and stil lrunning around? Same thing .. They are working on it.
All I can do is to ask you guys to be patience as all great things started off with many hiccups.
I know this is not the answer that you are looking for, but this is the best you are going to get from a player who have no associations what so ever with EA (except that they are only 10 miles away from where I am), and with no official responses from EA.

I've posted the same thing in the Battlelog Forum as well. http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf4/forum/threadview/2955064773308952974/
I am not sure if these have been reported or the devs are aware of the bugs. All of these started happening couple of days ago. I am on PS4 with latest SW updates for both BF4 and PS.
Just got off the chat with EA Game Advisor and he asked that I post here to let everyone know, especially devs about these possible new bugs. Were there any tweaks within last couple of days?
All Weapon Medals are not tracking properly or stopped tracking - For example: My Melee kills count show 19, but according to medal progress, it shows 0/50 (1 ribbon for 4 kills), Headshots Medal shows 46/50 (1 ribbon for 3 headshots, and I have 290).
Lots of sound dropping and stuttering – Happened on all Multiplayer maps, sound (Gun shots, Commander’s voice, squad orders, etc…) dropped off very frequently, and picture stutter a lot. Prior to last few days, it was not that pronounced as it happened once in a blue moon.
Rubberbanding is becoming more pronounced - Happened several times in Operation Locker while I was running away from someone who was shooting at me. Usually, my position on the map set me back about 3 seconds worth of running or dodging the spray of bullets. Another word, I am trying to run or hide, but put me right in front of the crosshairs as I was 3 seconds ago, then I kaput. Usually happened at Objective E (basement ally from E to D) and by Objective B (from the outside going into Objective B), and Objective C (Going from outside to Objective C through small narrow door way).
Loading screen – Stuck on loading screen from 30 seconds to 3 minutes while playing on “DICE “TEST” Operation Locker only”. By the way, this is a great idea as I love playing Operation Locker and I did not have to look for another Operation Locker when the server is specifically set up to play only “Operation Locker”. You should definitely have several servers for each map.
Missing weapons while spawning – Again, this started happening more and more within last couple of days. Prior to this, I may spawn without weapons 1/20 times but now, it is happening 1/3 times. Sometimes I chose to spawn in the HOT ZONE and had to wait about 5 to 10 sec before any weapons showing up. I tried cycling from Primary Weapon to Secondary Weapon to Option 1 Gadget to Option 2 Gadget but no weapons or gadget would show up, shoot, or deploy.
Server search function reset to default – Happened 3 times where my entire preset server searches (for Conquest, Operation Locker) were reset to default and all servers were showing up. This started happening yesterday.
Kicked out to another map while re spawning in Operation Locker – When I tried to re spawn in the Operation Locker (Used search feature to look for Conquest, Operation Locker), the server kicked me out to another map, Siege of Shanghai. Again, I was trying to re spawn with many tickets (over 300 tickets each team left). Not joining the server for the first time.
This is something I have never seen before and wish I took a screen shot – Yellow Triangle Exclamation Mark with no message in a blue box. I received this while joining another Conquest, Operation Locker server but I was able to join the server few minutes later. It showed up may be 3 times while loading(?) then let me join the server.

The large conquest maps are still horribly laggy. especially hainan resort,and the map with the dam. You can't travel more than 3 steps without stuttering and lagging. Trying to fly any kind of vehicle becomes nauseating because of the stuttering.
Also another small glitch is when flying the attack helicopter if you spawn into the pilot seat you won't be able to use the free look by pressing up on the d pad. However if you quickly get out and then back in or change seats you can...
Obviously there is still some serious work that needs to be done on this game in order to make it truly playable. I'd rate it at about 65% as is. This is 4 months after release people. Kind of upset at the amount of money I shelled out for this level of gameplay. How is it ok to sell a game that doesnt work?
Look your nat, if is restrict or moderate you will need opening ports at moden
check out portforwarding.com. make sure you have opened the ports on your router playstation requires. It completely fixed my problem that sounds identical to the one in this feed. also enable DMZ on your router and add your PS4 IP. (assuming you have made a static one already)
It is not the game...when you play is everyone else rubberbanding? no they are busy shooting you in the face :P its packet loss. my problem was my router. i think everyone should at least check and make sure it isnt the source of their problem to
I tried wifi/hardwire; bypassing router and going straight through the modem; no luck. I almost lag 100% of the time on Lancang Dam with 60+ players; other maps it comes and goes, but when it comes, it's bad. But on smaller scale maps, I don't see this problem that much.
EA, what's going on? This issue makes the game unenjoyable. I've had to turn off the system several times now, just because it was too much to bear.
Please push urgency on this matter.
Thanks!

UPDATE: It seems they're well aware of it.
