Worst PING I have ever seen in my life

Visited 10+ Servers including TDM, CONQUEST, RUSH and OBLITERATION on Russian, German, Spanish, French and Austrian servers and everytime the same problem. 

My ping randomly rises up to 999+ and then lowers down to 20-40 for some seconds. Very funny that the ping is stable in the spawn menu... 

This happened to me since the 10th Nov.

I really don't know why this crap happens since yesterday. I never had any other big problems with BF4. The only other problem are the failing shaders however I don't care too much about that while I can't even play the game. 


Any ideas how to solve this problem? 

Specs: 

  • 56 MBit/s WLAN Stick 
  • 3 MBit/s connection 
  • MSI GTX 680 Lightning 
  • Lastest Beta Drivers

No, I have no other applications running in the background than my Explorer(BF4 Website) and Origin.

    just gave up playing for the evening because of this, server brower showing all servers at 350 ping. Log in and spawn screen I'm sitting at my regular 95 on 48-64 player maps. Deploy and trying walking = 300 ping, run = 600 ping. constant rubberbanding. 10mins later your capped at 999+

    I have just started to experience this problem after getting a new computer. Server ping looks ok in menu (10-12) but spikes (300+) during gameplay every few seconds, often leading to me being kicked by punkbuster for high ping. I have tried many servers most of which I was playing on before my upgrade with no problems at all. I do not have this problem with other games.

    Previous computer (no issue):

    i5

    GTX 560ti

    8gb ram

    pci wireless card

    windows 7

    BT infinity

    Current (with issue):

    i7

    GTX 760

    8gb ram

    Dell wireless 1550

    windows 8

    BT infinity

    Edit:

    Have just used an Ethernet cable and this fixed the problem. In my case the issue was with my wireless, it is odd however that only bf4 was effected.

    I think most of us experienced the same issue... I've found that is a server HW issue.

    Have you tried an "NFOServer" server? (Could be NFOServer or any other server provider that actually has good HW and connection)...

    I have this kind of problems with most brazilian servers, which are BF3 servers running BF4 and are obviously not powerful enough to support 64 BF4 players...

    Try that and let us know 🙂
