When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm) 10/16/2019
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
How severe is your issue? Major impacts to gameplay
What happens when the bug occurs? I try to play the game. Whenever I get near enemies my frames freeze and i skip 2~3 seconds of game, thus 98% of the time when I get in combat I can't fight correctly because the frames I needed in order to be victorious, I DIE INSTEAD, or lose track of the enemy long enough to miss completely.
What should be happening instead? NOT LOSING FRAMES
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Play the game? No idea why its occurring. Wasn't present yesterday on first day of the event, but suddenly now I can't play a single match without rubber banding or losing frames. I tried different data center's but often it just had more awful results.

A prime example is this match I am playing in during Halloween event. I have a golden shield, lots of energy cells, easy gear to defend with or at least fight back with. The second the enemies started swinging at the door, I lost 2-5 frames, and only picked back up on them AFTER I DIED.

Think I found the issue and fix. Apparently my wifi connection with console has decided to kaput on me, don't seem to be stuttering on cable.
Haven't had that issue in years.
@SpyrosFPS Thanks for being critical of a latency situation instead of suggesting possible issues.......
I did say I more cared that I could put up a fight in a match than whether I won or not......
You missed the detail where It was switched to anvil rounds btw, so my fire rate was slower and couldn't kill them at the appropriate speed.
You also missed the detail where every single shot actually missed despite being point blank (funny right?)
I don't mean to be rude but I was looking for help with the connectivity issue that I managed to figure out a fix for, not a play by play on a situation where I couldn't even shoot enemies because rubber-banding in combat.
Anyway. Wifi acting up. Wired cable seems to have fixed. My apologies for thinking it was on Respawn / EA server / game side issues.
I managed to get both my shadow and legend win for the event & am only missing dailies (easy) and legend kills (45/50 as of this post).
@SpyrosFPS Have a good one.
@EA_Blueberry Looking forward to Revenant as a legend. His abilities look like they fit right into my playstyle / theme.
