@EA_Kent Also having same issue here, opened ports and connection is solid but every few games this happens. Usually changing servers fixes it
I also had some days to test the issue, the specific problem is gone, meaning I don't get unplayable games with heavy packet loss that end in crashes.
Anyway, I still get packet loss as seen in the new FPS/Connection data in settings menu, going from 3 to 15 packet lost.

It seems worse on days and times where there's more server traffic, on weekends and in evening.
Since the last patch (Aftermarket Event) I also noticed that the issue isn't appearing that regular anymore. I still get it from time to time (maybe once an evening) and the symptoms are the same when it does happen.
Since the Halloween event issues got more frequent again. Almost every other match is now with packet loss, but sometimes, if I am lucky to survive this mess long enough, after 5 minutes or so it goes back to normal.
Got even worse for me in season 7. Each 4th game or so it is unplayable...
@EA_Kent Yes since season 7 it got even more frequent and I now always need to Alt+F4 the game because it stays stuck in "connecting to lobby" forever.
