Battlefield 3 PS3 East Coast Servers Rubberbanding or DDOS on all servers?

★★★★★ Novice

I have 2 servers rented "Conquest Haven" and "Aftermath : Haven" Just recently they have been performing really bad to the point where all the players will experience the extreme rubberbanding. Only way to stop the rubberbanding is to have all the players leave and restart server with new match settings but even then the problem keeps persisting. It feels like someone is DDOS attacking the server as I have gone on other East Coast Servers and they too do the same things except for the European servers, I prefer to not play on European servers because of the high ping players. I have restarted my router, console, opened ports, deleted data, reinstalled the game and I Play on a wired connection. I dont know what else to think of except maybe it has something to do with the snow storm in the US or a DDOS attack. Please help as I and other players cant even play a single game without this problem ruining the game experience.

@EA_Atic Servers are now back to normal and have been doing to for about almost 2 weeks. Not sure if you or your team did anything but thank you.

Yes the problem is still occurring and it tends to happen after a 35-45 min play session. The rubberbanding can last up to 35 minutes before it goes away but then the pattern reoccurs. I have confirmed that when it happens it affects all east us servers even dice owned servers. I have documented the times at which it happens as well video proof of it occurring. I have checked the xbox east US servers and they are not having these problems therefore this is a isolated case only on the PS3. I hope there is something you can do as everything was working good before last week.

Timeline:  times are in GMT

@EA_Atic Also this happened again on 3/4/2022 started at 6pm GMT and continued all throughout the night. but every time when the rubberbanding begins there is always a disconnect icon that shows and pretty much every East Coast US server is affected including Dice owned servers. The servers were working better around 2pm up until 6pm with occasional disconnects were it kicks all players but there would be no rubberbanding just disconnects but as you see here the problem keeps coming back.

 

3/4/2022 GMT time
10am Server played good
12:39pm Server lost connection kicked all players
12:42pm Server lost connection kicked all players
12:46pm game begins but crashes within 45 seconds

12:54pm when the game starts there is a 45 second timeout and kicks all players.

@EA_Kent @EA_Atic Rubberbanding seems to be happening on a lot of servers now. The servers I can confirm are East US, European and West Us. It never really happens on Asia, Australia and West Us but today West was having these problems. Hope there is a fix a lot of people still play this game.

@EA_Kent @EA_Atic So on Saturday and today West Coast US, East Coast US, European and Australia servers were all rubberbanding and worst part is one of the Dice servers you just cant connect at all. here is some pictures of what is going on and it is only happening on PS3 and to all players. The Australian servers started to rubberband today and I hope you guys can look into this. It seems like the servers are being attacked.BF3 Server Status Red.pngBF3 Server Status Red.png

From my perspective as a European based player, all servers have suddenly got very low bars, except US west coast, and almost every game/server seem to lag severely and crash now .
