Recent update and new DLC, PS3

The new update has totally ruined my BF4 experience.  ALL of my kits, from soldiers to vehicles have changed/reverted back to the original settings, and had to be changed back to the guns/upgrades I had previously earned.  It's all still there, just had to be re-selected.  The problem I am most upset about however, is the lag I am experiencing, and it only seems to be a problem in conquest, which is basically all I play.  Come on DICE, get your act together!  How do I fix this?  So far, I see no fixes for it?  I am considering deleting all my BF4 data, and doing a fresh install, but don't want to lose all my progression(almost at 100).

SOME, PLEASE HELP!

Here is a quick youtube video of what is happening.  It looks like serious latencency.  But my son has a PS3, and his update seems to be fine, except for the issues with the new DLC(his does the same thing, but only on the new maps).  It only started happening after the update.  My speed test says I am getting just shy of 50mbps, and I use a LAN, not WiFi.

  • You are not alone. I'm a PS3 Premium member and since the update and DLC. BF4 has become unplayable.

    Rubberbanding and lag has become horrendous even though I only play in my own region on servers with the strongest possible connection. The problems are numerous, not just lag - random character movement with no input from me, when ADS my sights jump around like a tick making it impossible to lock onto or track enemies - it's happening on all weapons and all sights/scopes. Even using a bipod on a perfectly flat surface the weapon exhibits this strange desire to jump around as if someone is kicking it, or my prone character will start crawling for no apparent reason.

    I went to the test range to check it out - to find that not only did it happen there too, but that the Range itself is malfunctioning in a major way - targets not going down when hit, player randomly starting to rotate to the left, everything is just broken.

    Thefall patch made the game so much better in terms of hit detection and latency issues but now I have to say this is the worst BF4 has ever been for me. All maps and gamemodes seem to be affected, the update destroyed all my settings and loadouts as well.

    Plenty of answers seem to have been forthcoming for PC users regarding the rubberbanding but console players seem to be getting nowhere.

    2 weeks of early access are rendered worthless and the update has definitely been a major disaster if my experience is anything to go by.

    Maybe, just maybe, someone out there is listening to us and will get these problems resolved - and quickly?
