After this 1.8Gb Update the servers are much worse

Servers on bf4 are always rubbish for a while after an update, it might improve in the next 24hrs or so. Unless they've just goofed.

This might be because DICE update the game and server software at the same time. But whilst they have made some progress in releasing game patches that don't break everything, server patches were still pretty awful. You'll get a revision with the new features, but it will crash or perform poorly and then 2 days later you'll get another that actually works. It was a complete PITA for BF3 and BF4
I always assumed it was because the network bandwidth usage was high at the server providers while they copy over the new server software and high CPU load while they reboot VMs.

I hope so and this is why I am skeptical of BF games. One update and the server is considerably much worse.
I've learnt to always wait a couple of days after a server update before judging hit reg, lag or connection issues. Having said that, they may just have screwed up.

I was seriously looking forward to this after loving BF4 but, I have to say the graphics have really put me off and I am not liking them at all to the extent I doubt I am going to buy it this year. The graphics are just plain ugly and unimpressive from what I saw on the stream.
HahaPlayed a fair bit yesterday so not sure which victim you were
What is your origin name?
Pesttt.
Bizarrely, there was another Nexus tag player but as soon as I saw the Bot I knew it was you.

Be nice to play something different, tried bf4 last night for the first time in 8 months plus and it was essentially a chorus of locking on sounds for the start to the end of the game with my tank being targeted, gets old fast.

Yeah the severs are now specially laggy and takes ages to connect
on a plus note they fixed the keybind issues with vehicles not tested much more as it was giving me headache with the lag earlier

How does one go about getting into the alpha/beta for this game?
I loved BC2 but didn't really get on with BF3, I'm hoping it's more like BC2.
