Any plans for new patch releases? (R17)

[IcEWoLF]

I haven't heard much since R16.
Any plans for EA to release R17 anytime soon?
I know people are still having issues with rubber banding and terrible lag sometimes.

No word on a release yet.

We don't see many complaints of lag/rubber-banding, but Blaze issues are common, and we still see various crashes (one that's more likely on servers that use high ticket counts and one that occurs with large banlists, for instance). There are also mounting problems with cheating. We'll welcome any new release that addresses these.

It seems R17 is going out in the morning with trials tonight?

How to we test early, just enter support ticket as usual like for R16?

Also Mikael did not provide change log, can you fill us in on what this is 'supposed' to fix? I am assuming #1 is stability (memory leak) fixes?

DICE released that in the middle of the night (well, their day), and I'll be performing some tests today. We have not been cleared to release the changelog.

Has anyone who is running R17 seen any difference, positive or negative?

We installed it last night, but our guys didn't play much last night to get the server going.
Noticed a new lag that when your in the helicoptor, it's much more noticable, where the helicoptor seems to skip or pulsate across the screen. Seems to be a constant every 2 secs. Noticed it slightly on the ground too, where at times it felt you got stuck on a rock, but it was just a skip in the game. This was on Caspian border and Firestorm, but other maps without air vehicles, didn't seem to bad.

We were all on mostly for maybe 3-4 hours, and no drops, but still people getting the loading screen lockup on map changes.

I would have loved to give it a go but I am not keen on installing something with no description other than 'security fixes'. We do not have haxor problems but stability problems.

Pain, if you continue to see that tonight, please let me know, and I'll pass it on to DICE.

We ran a full server most of the night, and no dumps.

Did see lag tonight but different this time.
Extreme rubber banding on Strike of Karkland.
Others appeared to be ok.

Same here - ran all night.

We are seeing some minor hitching we haven't seen before but nothing that we can't deal with.

Not installing R17 until we see some good reports.

Well, we only had to ban one person last night when we typically have to ban 3-4. And they were an aimbotter and not a global kill hacker.

[Edge100x]

DICE is now requiring that we roll out R17. We'll start this process shortly, updating servers as they empty out.

Did they ever release the change log ?
