Battlefield 4 Thread ~ Server details in opening post ~

Dear BF4 Clients,

DICE has just released patch R6 for Battlefield 4 Ranked Servers.
We have started a massive roll-out to all servers, as we speak.
Change Log:
* Crash fix

If any questions, please submit a support ticket!

Best Regards,
Fragnet Networks Operations Team

Rolling out now
 
This is so true.

I do incident & problem management for a medical software company. And the number of times we push out a buggy release is unbelievable. I've seen our customers ranting at us on twitter, they've had enough of us taking their system down multiple times and just introducing new bugs.

We know about these, but push on anyway. We've not even released version 4.2 of our software yet but still have a 4.2.1 release already planned to fix the bugs we'll be pushing out in 4.2
The testers know its buggy, the developers know its buggy, the support staff know its buggy, but external company pressures and deadlines means we carry on anyway due to pressure from the board.

indeed. its soo annying.
 
i work for a software company, as a Certified Software Tester & Software Developer. Make a Bug-less game is impossible. Making a Game with minor bugs is possible but takes time. Developers want the game to Be Good, Testers do. But What happens is There will be a number Meeting with Director to decide if its release worthy. Even if Testers/Developers Say it shouldnt be released Directors overrule them. Its EA Directors/Shareholders at fault not DICE.

Its True you eventually have to release it with some bugs. But sometimes releasing to the market in a bad way is better for the company as Whole. (Shareholders wise) stupid but true.

Dont Hate The Developers Hate the way companies work.


On your note about servers. Servers to get Perfect would cost 10s Millions more to make perfect at launch. Somthing they wont need in 2 weeks. How would you propse that to shareholders. you cant. We want to spend 10 million more for a better 2 weeks to the customer, with no return?:mad:

ive had to ask at work for 100,000s for equipment its hard to justify sometimes.

our team at work when we release products stamp our feets hard to stop them launching sometimes it works. but we normally push our testing so hard we find really bad bugs that stop release which cheers us up :D

Good insight, but surely there comes a point where trying to save money by putting out a buggy game/not buying extra servers becomes counter-productive for these companies?

Look at the amount of people they've ****ed off with this crap. At some point they will start losing customers for good because people don't want to put up with this.

I got out of commercial software development due to it - I take a lot of pride in my coding and won't release something I know has flaws in it. Bit of a snob but I have a lot of distain for career programmers - IMO anyone who is detached emotionally from their code has no place being in an IDE :P
 
Silly question probably, but using the IP addresses on Page #1
how do I connect or add them to my battlelog? :)

theyt just want to keep there shareholders happy = money.

we bought bf3 and it was shoody we bought this? its our problem really.

we should stop buying it when its buggy and it would stop but getting many people to do this is very hard:D

people will forget these when R6/R7 are out.

On the plus side, I've not had a crash on the last 2 servers I've played.

On the negative side, the hit reg for me is even worse. I just went 0-12 before I rage quit. I couldn't hit anyone even close up. Every time I spawned...dead.
