What happens when the bug occurs? DDoS attacks to EU and US servers are currently ruining the game, I have video proof that two players are behind the DDoS attacks, I'm very happy to forward this proof to anyone at EA/ Respawn dealing with this issue. This is something that has been occurring more and more regularly over the past couple weeks and I am almost certain there are more than two players who are doing the DDoS attacks, I have proof of one more team doing this but only have one occasion for proof, I am very happy to share these details where I can help, this is a very urgent matter, so many players are suffering quit penalties because of this. If banning these players is not a viable solution, the reconnect feature needs to be turned off until it can be solved, they are taking advantage of this reconnect feature. It's a very simple attack, they DDoS the current server, overload it for say a couple of minutes then stop flooding it with packets, once they stop they can rejoin without anyone else in the game moving, giving them a lot of free kills/ RP.
What should be happening instead? DDoS Protected servers or another alternative solution such as disabling the reconnect feature.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Get in contact with me, I will be very happy to show you exactly what we've experienced (I have an Elgato HD60S) and show you the names of the players we are certain are causing these attacks.
Private message me for more information, I want to help as best I can with this issue
