Patch 1.2 - "Slow internet connection, this might affect your gameplay" [ Edited ]

[Preacher327]

Since the latest patch I´m kinda going nuts with all the `slow internet connection` and `you lost connection to EA servers, so check your internet`

Used to see it a lot with the first Battlefront and was glad I didn't see it with Battlefront II........until this dreaded patch, a patch probably soaked in viper venom.

It's happening like all the time.

To EA, who is deaf to these kind of post so why do I even bother, YOU ARE LYING TO US.

My internet connection is fine, absolutely fantastic to be fair, and now since you're lame patch, loads of players are getting LBE's  (Lame B%ner Experience), even the female players. (my apologies, I tried to keep it civilized)

I've had this issue since this morning when I've started playing on patch 1.2.

Whenever I'm playing online the alert that says I have bad connectivity to the server is always on.

This wouldn't be a problem except that my connection is actually really good and I haven't had any issues with internet lag.

Is there any way to turn this alert off so I don't have to have it on my screen constantly?

Thank you.

I believe in the games settings there is an option to turn off connectivity warning symbols.

Please have the option to remove the annoying signal bar top right hand corner. No need to clutter up UI please!

I agree

Same here. I don't have blazing fast Fiber, but I am getting avg of 60Mb/25Mb with latency under 100ms, and am the only person using my connection, patched directly in with an Ethernet cable. Prior to 1.2 it ran fairly smooth outside of certain maps being a little laggy.

Now...it's just practically unplayable, even on Campaign. Nothing has changed on my end except being required to update my AMD driver. All my other EA games launch and play fine. BF1 runs smooth online with no lag or stutter.

Same here.

As a TCP/IP specialist, I can concur that EA developers added network protocols into their coding with Patch 1.2 My packet capture lit up like a christmas tree with Galactic Assault and Straighter Assault. Of course not Arcade mode, no need to have the signal strength persistently checked every nanosecond there.

If you can find that for us on PC that would be great, I doubt you will though.

If you are intelligent and capable, there are instructions for PC users with applications such as winshark. It is difficult if you have no knowledge of TCP/IP Protocols but not impossible.

I third this opinion.
