On console we can't see our exact ping to a server, only bars like cell service. I don't understand why. Does dice think console players are so dumb they can't understand ping values?
I was confused because my internet connection runs at or above 60 Mbps. After this video, I found out why that isn't relevant. This guy is smart and knows a thing or two about networking.
***** I ALWAYS prefer wired connections. I've always noticed data rate caps at 30 Mbit/s using WiFi. I use broadband to my router. My router uses MoCA via coax to the Optical Network Terminal, which then goes to my ISP via fiber optic cables.
Now that this information is finally out i can redo one of my older videos on the network graph and correct where i was wrong and misinformed. :D Thankyou friend for once again giving us such an informative video. Keep up the good work.
I play Battlefield 1 with a network cable, but I get alot of these symbols at the same time. Do I just have a cheap and twrrible wifi, or is there any way to fix it? Thanks.
I have this problem with the yellow and red warnings on bf 4 servers sometimes and in bf1 it doesnt let me play online it just kick me out when its just about to load the game HELP PLEASE
Another great and informative video. Thank you. One point - you did not demonstrate how we search servers. I may be doing it and not realizing it. However, it would be nice if you showed us how you do that. Many games I have played on, did not give you the choice of searching servers therefore, I am not familiar on how this endeavour is achieved. Thank you!
I have been playing BF1 on Xbox one and have experienced high "extra offset". My DL speed hovers around 35 and UL speed hovers around 20. Ping is around 11. It's odd because my packet loss is very low, usually 0 but sometimes jumps to 0.6. Even when I join other servers I still experience high extra offset, usually averages about 154 ms. Does anyone know why this may be and and how to fix it? Thanks in advance.
great video as always Chris. the number of people who use WiFi and powerline adapters is too damn high. also, your modem keeps has a diagnostic page that will alert you to issues. xdsl will display fec and crc errors while docis 3 uses codewords (corrected/uncorrectable). you always want a single run from the outside to your modem(home run).
Thanks for the video. It actually worked, the ping is always yellow and when I play it's super laggy. Hopefully now it runs smoothly cause the ping is all green now.
What are some possible reasons for packet loss? I have a pretty good computer with high speed internet (>75 Mbps) but still get the red packet loss icon. Could it be a router or driver problem on my end or a server problem? I never join a game with more than 80 ping. Thanks in advance!
+maogongzi I talked about it a bit at the end of the video :) @11:30 *But in general, Packet Loss is caused by:* - network congestion _(you don't have the required bandwidth - can happen easily on WiFi and PowerLine, or when someone else in your household eats up the whole bandwidth downloading something)_ - faulty drivers of you network card/chipset - faulty network hardware - faulty modem/router firmware _(consumer grade products are not the best - I recommend a restart of your router every 24hours)_ - routing issue by your ISP _(in that case the issue would be limited to servers of a specific provider, like lets say i3d. then the ISP would have to check its routing)_ - gameserver itselfe is failing / can't handle the load and thats why its dropping packets
Great video, all bf players should watch it at least twice so "we" play at "correct" servers. would fix som of the bad reputation of bf regarding lag, hitbox and so on. Realy hope dice links this movie from officiel site. Then your view count would spin 😎
is good that dice is resolving the network problems, but they should optimize their games better for consoles also. bf4 framerate for example drops alot to low 40fps. i hope battlefront doesn´t have unstable framerate.
great video and great tool to determine whether issue is on client or server. i like this :) i already stopped with bf4 recently, not because of "issues", but because of lack of teamplay. i do not have active friends or platoon so i switched to bf hardline. even without teamplay it is fun :) do you know if similar graph will be available there sometimes in futurre? i know that dice and visceral are in cooperation so i hope positive changes will be transformed to bfh.
I'm getting the framerate warning but I know for a solid FACT! That it isn't my machine. I had an I5-4690k 16 gig of good ram and an old 2 gig GTX 770, I used to run BF4 on the standard Ultra setting and get a comfortable 75-90 fps. My 770 died recently so I upgraded to a much more powerful 6 gig 1060 GTX, A much much better card and now I can't even run this game on high. Constant lag spikes and fps drops and the despite getting a low fps count of 80 on high it feels terrible, Iv'e done many of the fixes found online but it still is not working correctly. Any ideas?
This is an issue that was fixed recently in BF1 (fix wont come to BF4 as that is EoL). The reason why you see the FPS warning icon even though the FPS counter does not show a drop is a "micro freeze" of the game. Means the FPS warning icon is simply way too sensitive in BF4.
Iv'e posted my issue here in greater detail, If you have any ideas off the information I give please let me know. forums.battlefield.com/en-us/discussion/112837/bf4-issues/p1?new=1
I know this is an old video, but still very pertinent to me and hope I get a response. When i play BF4 on my new system I get huge lag spikes. Using the network graph I see lag spikes correlate to huge spikes in SrvOffset(ms). The graph can be perfect and game playing fine, then when someone joins the server (or something) or a new round begins the line for SrvOffset has intermittent spikes with accompanying lag. Any ideas?
The only reason EA is allowing DICE LA to use their company resources to improve BF4 netcode with all the re-engineering it requires is because it all will be reused for Battlefield 5. Battlefield 4 is basically a beta for battlefield 5, they are getting all this invaluable data they need from thousands of users already playing BF4 and willing to pay for hundreds of servers to their established providers to test 60-120 tickrate servers. Ya heard it here first. This is all around excellent news if this means flawless Battlefield 5 multiplayer release.
So if the graph is showing red and yellow for the ServerTick(ms) and ServerOffset it means that the servers are having problem? I thought that it was my internet connection.
+RandomCanEHdian Sony has a special relation with things that they deem _"too complex"_ or _"confusing"_ for the _"average gamer"_ As far as your theory goes - Microsoft allowed DICE LA to include the NetGraph - guess what Sony did?
+RandomCanEHdian I think it's simply because Microsoft's gaming division simply understand those requests better than Sony. it's all bout the right PR between companies.
7:06 So, i got this problem, i'm playing on a Locker (only infantry) server and the difference between CliHit and SrvDmgBnd is up to 23, that means 23 of my client bullets were not registered by the server right? i'm not shooting in anything but players, not tanks, not boats, not cars, only players. i'm not using splash damage, only a m416 assault rifle. that means the CliHit and SrvDmgBnd should match right?
my pubg always shows the clock sign orange, then few minutes later in will crashes, now I know.. all this time I thought my 1080ti is the problem. Thanks alot
Hey, at the end of the video.. How come there were no HUDs? did you do that manually? or every other player sees it like that as well? If so, that would make the game so immersive.
The yellow symbol comes up every game I play on BF1, I don't notice any lag or latency issues, I play on Xbox one as well, and my internet has 70.6 mbts download and 11.3 upload...so I have no clue why the symbol keeps coming up because I'm not noticing any changes or lag and my internet is perfectly fine.
Good video! I have a cuestion? What can I do or why is happen that wen I make any change settings and I coming back to battle is fress and get out of server always
I can't see my pings in the in game server and battlelog page, I tried everything but it not fixed. I get very ping stutters and can't even see the ping in scoreboard. Can someone help?
My game isnt laggy but ive been getting the latency variation icon in red on the side and my game is sometimes jumpy and my character stops. Ive been trying to look all over the internet for a fix but i couldnt find anything so i was wondering knew about a fix. Thanks
+warcroft gaming 1Mbit DSL is the absolute min. for normal BF4 @30Hz. Once high rates become available through RSPs I will look into the new requirements.
That because you have all these European players keep joining the US servers and spike up the pings. The only way to boot them is viva custom setting from private servers.
Andy Lam we have the same problem in Europe with People from USA / Middle East on our servers when it says Europe only 😡😨😃🍄👽☠❗️❗️Do people from outside Europe have a advantage??
Hi just question about monitor refresh rate. imo it's stupid that in BF4 to play at 120hz server u need 120hz monitor, this is the first time i ever heard about something like that. how is it different to cs go servers that are 128tick, and noone never said anything about monitors at last 120hz? only fps have to min 128 for them. i had 144hz monitor, i know the difference but in case of playing at 120hz/tick servers even 60hz monitor do the work.
+CrazyBuzzy1 While it does apply the ping-pong scheme, the term "pong" is not used. The correct terms are _"ICMP Echo Request"_ and _"ICMP Echo Reply"_
+Battle(non)sense ...sorry...I was referring only in the submarine world,not in the world of internet,but would not be illogical to call it too PONG in the internet world,would be nice PING-PONG,heheh
Thanks for the superb video! You mention it's not ideal to play on a 120+hz server with 120+fps using a 60hz screen. Why exactly is this, how big is the negative impact in this situation? I am currently using a 60hz screen but run the game at 120+fps, so I'd love to know the details on that :)
+Djiel it's not ideal as you only get 60 individual frames presented by your 60Hz monitor. The get the most out of a 120Hz tickrate server you need to play at min. 120FPS on a min. 120Hz RR monitor. :)
+Battle(non)sense Thanks, guess I'll have to stick to 60hz servers then. The price tag for the high refresh monitors is still a bit too high for my tastes.
hey battle non sense I have a problem with the icons. I dont have an epic PC neither a reasonable internet connection. I also live on a kinda remote island with no server close to me. I would like to know how to get rid of these icons since its not doing anything but annoy because for now I cannot do anything about it. Thank you!
I just recently bought BF4, what I don't understand is why there are no official servers provided by DICE. Compared to Csgo, how can such a huge franchise like DICE doesn't have optimum servers for their players. Instead relying on renting servers which cost so much? And these rented servers are not even enough for the community.
In order to be allowed to host a battlefield server the hoster has to fullfill certain requirements otherwise EA will not contract him. Those requirements include min. server hardware per Battlefield server instance, min. bandwidth per server instance, etc. EA/DICE do this to ensure that there are no "weak performance" servers. As a result performance (should) be the same across all hosters. Historically, the Battlefield franchise never had "official DICE" servers - at least on PC which had a thriving community with tons of clans that provided/paid for all servers. Console is a very different topic though - so is Battlefield 1 on PC.
Hi Chris I have problems with those icons I dont have a crappy PC here are my specs: i5 3470 4GB RAM plan to add more Gainward GTX 760 Phantom 2GB GDDR5 Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB Internet Connection 38/32 Mbps But I struggle in BF4 game dunno why...I experience after certain amount of time that my game start to loose packets and place all those icons all over the place I cant play longer than hour or so because it start loosing packets and display all icons like latency problems even though I have stable 17 ms ping and join strictly on 30 Hz servers due to my internet isnt fast enough for 60 hz servers which start to be messy even earlier..Many people suggested uprading punkbuster and game suggested me open certain port which I did both but these issues still ocur in my playtime and hurt my experience of the game can you tell me what should I do because I dont experience theese kind of issues in any other shooter and it starts to get frustrating how I get shot and killed only because when I am shooting somebody my packets arent deliverd to server
Can you do this for bf 5 there is a symbol for stacked boxes but not film roll type just plain boxes i don't know what that means but its always yellow
thanks, i thought my graphics card was gonna blow up when i saw these symbols
On console we can't see our exact ping to a server, only bars like cell service. I don't understand why. Does dice think console players are so dumb they can't understand ping values?
Calvin Curry Dont think thats the reason XD
Yes they are, PC Master Race bruh

Any fix
İ have same issue to when i play r6s fps drops and red circles appear top right corner about 3 seconds then return to normal frame rate

Did you try disabling one drive

I play other games like halo mcc and apex legends and I don’t lag. It’s pretty much the bf4 servers…….it’s a shame because I absolutely love bf4

I'm really hoping, that EA and Dice are going to implement ALL the fixed problems into their future games / game engine(s) (BF5, or Battlefront)

*But in general, Packet Loss is caused by:*
- network congestion _(you don't have the required bandwidth - can happen easily on WiFi and PowerLine, or when someone else in your household eats up the whole bandwidth downloading something)_
- faulty drivers of you network card/chipset
- faulty network hardware
- faulty modem/router firmware _(consumer grade products are not the best - I recommend a restart of your router every 24hours)_
- routing issue by your ISP _(in that case the issue would be limited to servers of a specific provider, like lets say i3d. then the ISP would have to check its routing)_
- gameserver itselfe is failing / can't handle the load and thats why its dropping packets
Nice work. Cleared up my questions on those icons.
I can only play conquest game mode. It says I lose connection to the server when I try to play any other game mode.
glad to say PS4 now has this feature!

only me or does these icons suck
i get fps warnings at 90 fps and i get connection warnings at 30 ping

As far as your theory goes - Microsoft allowed DICE LA to include the NetGraph - guess what Sony did?
Battle(non)sense I'm aware of that. They didn't allow PING numbers in _War Thunder_ because it was "too similar to a debug log". ;-;
RandomCanEHdian It's just so sad to see how Sony and MS can dictate what the devs are allowed to put into the game. :-/
+RandomCanEHdian I think it's simply because Microsoft's gaming division simply understand those requests better than Sony. it's all bout the right PR between companies.

I get a lot of server offset problems high ms but no problems anywhere else... is this a pc problem or server?
So basically as long as the txt on the graph is white its all good, yellow average and red bad?
o i have a qestion cris . im not geting why my game keeps crashing . everithing is good but still crashes
So the question is...
30, 60, 120 tick rate servers require what minimum ping and bandwidth, for individuals and everyone in the game, to be stable?
+warcroft gaming i would think for us gamers the increase of bandwidth shouldn't be a issue at all unless your internet connection is really bad
+warcroft gaming 1Mbit DSL is the absolute min. for normal BF4 @30Hz. Once high rates become available through RSPs I will look into the new requirements.
All my games except for BF4 have a good connection. Which is just weird to me
bf4 is shit
That because you have all these European players keep joining the US servers and spike up the pings. The only way to boot them is viva custom setting from private servers.
Andy Lam we have the same problem in Europe with People from USA / Middle East on our servers when it says Europe only 😡😨😃🍄👽☠❗️❗️Do people from outside Europe have a advantage??
Lol there's these Asian players joining our oceanian servers and are dominating them.
same here but with BF1
So if i have a 120hz refresh rate monitor and the server tick rate is 60hz
I will only see 60 hz?
CORRECT OR INCORRECT?
Menu says around 30-65 ping, but the warnings say around 200, and I have severe lag.
Using ps4 wifi

My ping is shown as a tilde. Is that bad? Normally my ping in other games is around 54ms.
The signal that you send is called PING and the signal that you receive is called PONG.

But I struggle in BF4 game dunno why...I experience after certain amount of time that my game start to loose packets and place all those icons all over the place I cant play longer than hour or so because it start loosing packets and display all icons like latency problems even though I have stable 17 ms ping and join strictly on 30 Hz servers due to my internet isnt fast enough for 60 hz servers which start to be messy even earlier..Many people suggested uprading punkbuster and game suggested me open certain port which I did both but these issues still ocur in my playtime and hurt my experience of the game can you tell me what should I do because I dont experience theese kind of issues in any other shooter and it starts to get frustrating how I get shot and killed only because when I am shooting somebody my packets arent deliverd to server
As Mr Burns would say...E x c e l e n t !!!!
So does this mean that your experience will be better on a server farther away with more pinf
No
