THE BUZZ: DICE has announced that it is currently in the process of rolling out several server updates and fixes in order to rectify some connection problems that players have been experiencing.

The updates include:

Fix for crashes usually occurring during level switches. Server providers may see a little bit of memory leakage instead in this situation
Game servers should no longer quit in some situations where the online back-end servers are down. Server will reconnect to the backend once it’s up again
Fix for ghost servers which didn’t accept connections
Kick reasons should better match situations where they are issued. This will help battlelog provide more accurate information to the player
Connection fixes to avoid players sometimes being rejected while joining the game server on one of the last slots
Security updates- Improved server logging

EGM’s TAKE: DICE is working hard to rectify the launch issues that Battlefield 3 is experiencing. Hopefully they can make all the fixes quickly to keep fans happy.
