Server Latency Update

Posted by Bonnie Armstrong | 2013 Mar 15 17:07 -0400 GMT
We are happy to announce that due to a lot of hard work and all the players feedback we have found a major cause for the lag everyone has been experiencing.  We are publishing a fix for this and you will receive it after your normal maintenance cycle.  If you do experience any lag over the weekend please send barmstrong@ea.com the following information to help us in resolving the problem:

  • Shard:
  • What you are doing when you experience the lag:
  • Time of day:
  • Location on shard when you experienced the lag:


We appreciate you guys being patient with us while we resolve this.  Thank you!!  BTW if we yelled April Fool’s right now would you string us up and burn us?
