BFBC2 still laggy...

EA released a statement a few days ago saying that the servers were going down for maitenance and that a new traffic routing system that sends players only to local servers would resolved "most or all" of the lag issues. I tried mine out today, but there has been no change that I can see. I'm still rubber banding, seeing screen blackouts, and lagging through doors and windows. Has this fix worked for anyone, or is it just a load of crap?

yeah man ive been on it for like 4 days straight and I havent seen like any change yet - although it got REALLLY bad on Wednesday which i later found out was the xbox community playdate - but yeah there is definately still lag

For the most part it has been the same, if not worse at times, but yesterday I got in some matches where the lag was fairly minimal

I have not noticed any change in the last few days. Every now and again I get a match that is playable, but most of the time it takes me 3 tries to walk through a door.

agreed - i must admit BC2 is one of my favoite online shooters to date but considering the investment i made of 60$ it should be free of most if not all lag and yes if it contineues to be this hard to walk up stairs or go through a door we should at least get points for it XD

I dont think that EA can be blamed for this but xbox live as a whole. I dont personally own BFBC2 so i dont know how bad it is on that specific game altohugh on RDR i used to instantly respawn once i died but now thaere is like a 20-30 second load time after death sometimes when i play in the evening. On mw2 the servers have been timing out a lot more than usual aswell. I think it is pretty unfair to throw all this hate onto one game for a problem that seems to be happening on numerous games of recent.

They are specifically EA's servers, so yes EA/Dice are to blame for the lag.

MW2 uses P2P, so you blame whoever is host or the host finding system the game uses

Your issues on RDR should be blamed on Rockstar's online handling, not MS. Commonality does not prove causality, my friend. There may be similar issues in other games caused by totally differentproblems with different companies' handling of their online support. And besides, if you don't own BC2 what are you doing on this thread? You just decided to come here to defend EA on an issue you know nothing about?

I still don't know what you guys are talking about. I've encountered virtually no lag since launch.

There was one day where every game I played in BFBC2 (no matter what game mode) was laggy - a few were so bad I could barely do anything. The next day it was fine. Thought this only limited to the PS3 servers, but my friends on XBL are complaining too.
