Battlefield Bad Company 2 saw 400 per cent higher peak traffic over the weekend than any other Battlefield game, developer DICE has revealed.
The immense popularity of the first-person shooter would normally be a cause for celebration, but in this case it’s resulted in server problems across all three versions of the game.
In an update on the Battlefield blog, producer Gordon Van Dyke said DICE was adding “additional services to alleviate load”.
“All teams are actively engaged in diagnosis and remediation,” he said.
“We are adding additional services to alleviate load. Despite having a major infrastructure in place, the peak traffic this weekend has been huge, 400% higher than any other Battlefield’s peak simultaneous users. The teams will continue to monitor the services closely. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and will provide further updates on the latest developments as they are relevant.”
