What's your take on the matchmaking after the December 15 update?
I reside in the Philippines and my friends and I are experiencing a tough time with Battlefront right now. It's so frustrating we can't even launch any games. I believe the latest update is to blame. Around 3am it's actually simple to locate any game through the matchmaking feature. To be honest, even BF4 servers in the SEA area are busy. Just a heads up—no need for anyone to say "well, you shouldn't have bought it."
It hasn't been the 15th yet for me, and I haven't played the game in a while. But I recall matchmaking was really poor when I tried last week. It would show a countdown saying "searching xx% full games" and put you into a game with just two players. You'd have to wait until the lobby got big enough for people to join. That was even Walker Assault, which is the most popular game mode.
Must try some changes... Using 192.168.1.254 as the router DNS gives me only US servers with delays over 220ms. Switching to 8.8.8.8 works for local games but messes up Blackops3 matchmaking and lobbies, so it keeps going back and forth for me. (Until a patch fixes the connection problem with my current DNS settings)
