Battlefield 4 Server Update Live; Hardware Improvements Fix Lags and 'Rubber-Banding'
Battlefield 4 is receiving hardware improvements to the servers to fix a lag problem called "Rubber-Banding."
Rubber-banding is when the player's lag and delay is so bad the game resets their character and respawns them before they can even really take more than a couple of steps with their character. It mostly happens when a server is stacked with a lot of players, reported SegmentNext.
It is also reported that the update may already be happening as players slowly will begin o see better results during gameplay. SegmentNext reported, the game's community manager, Dan Mitre said the company was, "Unhappy with [Battlefield 4's] server performance" and will "be upgrading the hardware as soon as possible, investing more to deliver a better experience."
