other games Server issues

[Axlerod]

Last few nights have been rough with almost everyone having high pings. Support ticket was submitted. Around midnight the pings finally got back down to normal. I do not believe it is only our server however. There have been a growing number of complaints in the battlelog forums with server issues. Some players can not log in and some can not even find servers. Tune in tomorrow to see what happens.

 

@midnight last night, server was fine finally. 

 

@today no idea. Using Chrome or IE11, pings do not show in battlelog.

 

This is definitly an EA issue.

Let me know if I can help, Axlerod.

Tell EA to quit what ever it is they are doing. LOL 

 

When the server is undergoing an abnormally high ping, please do the following.

 

Could you please ask the player(s) with these issues to download winMTR and fill in the IP address of the server?

Please let it run for atleast 10 minutes. ( As administrator )

 

Download link: http://sourceforge.net/projects/winmtr

Step 1: Fill in the IP address of the server (without any ports)

Step 2: Click on start

Step 3: Wait for 15 minutes

Step 4: Click on Stop

Step 5: Copy results to clipboard and paste them in this ticket.

 

Best regards,

 

Perry

If all else fails you could try some of these suggestions- 

 

- Uninstall the Plugin (in control panel>uninstall) then delete the containing folder placed in: C:\Program Files (x86)\Battlelog Web Plugins 

 

Fix for Mozilla FireFox: 

 

- Install the latest plugin 

- go to Addons (Firefox menu) -> Plugins 

- Search for ESN AND Battlelog 

- Set both to: always activated 

- close firefox, start it again and it should be fine then 

 

For Chrome: 

 

-Clear Browsing Data ( Settings/Privacy ) 

-Reinstalling the plugin by logging to Battlelog again 

-In the search bar typing the following command: chrome://plugins 

-Checking the box Always allowed for ESN Sonar API and Battlelog Game Launcher 

-Restarting the Browser 

-Log back into Battlelog via Origin (Play from Battlefield4 icon ) 

-Join a Server 

 

For Internet Explorer 11 

-Restart IE 11 

-From Internet Options/General tab -> Clear Browsing data -> Delete button 

-From Security tab, slide the bar to bottom -> Medium Protection 

-In Trusted Sites -> .battlefield.com should be added along with battlelog.battlefield.com/bf4/ and battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/ 

-It will require a System Restart in order for the 7 step to be applied. 

-Log in again into Battlelog and download again the plugin. 

-Join a server.
