Hey,
Nice nickname first of all, haha!
Yea mate, this sucks. Seems like there's no permanent fix for many many people.
People who find hotfixes to work are lucky, and I envy ppl who can play this without issues.
Let's hope this post gets some friction, maybe we can get Devs to make a move on that. Optimistic!!!
Yeah, let's count on that?
Anyone who looks into this thread, maybe has same setup and has found a fix?

All of this is just hail mary passes in the hope of it fixing things, sadly.
I'm in the same boat as you "FckMeSideways". tried so many steps and nothing works for more than a match and usually not even a single match.
Frustrating when you love a game so much but it doesn't work.
I'd fricking pay $60 usd or whatever a regular AAA game costs these days just to have the damn think work the way it did for me before I was dumb enough to update my nvidia drivers from 417.71 to 418.81. Thats how addicted to the game I am, but alas that isn't a "magical" option.
Even stranger for me, rolling back to driver ver. 417.71 or even earlier doesn't fix the issue. I was convinced at first back on Sun Feb 9th when I updated to the newest drivers it was the nvidia driver that fux'd things up. But now after 3 days of troubleshooting, hour after hour after hour of trying fixes and reading msg boards, I am not so sure it's the driver anymore. And instead something with the game itself.
If it helps I get the impression Respawn is well aware of the issue, it's EA that is being opaque. Though as you said Respawn could be more transparent and communicative with their troubleshooting steps. Any sort of frank communication goes a long way to placate the fans imo.
P.S. I also work in IT. We'd call it a Tier 1 Incident. Large number of clients affected a large amount of the time. So it would be a top priority issue to fix, all hands on deck, all dev on other work halted till the incident/issue is resolved. But as the game is a massive hit and making money I suspect hand over fist the incentive to treat the issue that way is weakened.
If the numbers they report are true and 25million downloads total by last weekend, 2 million concurrent players, and I'm sure it's even more now. If it was 25mil and only 10% of your player base is affected with these issues, that's still 2.5 MILLION customers who are pooched. How many video game companies dream of having 2.5 million customers, let alone 25 million.
