@EA_Kent I'm chiming in to report that I'm having issues of this sort on the PC as well; There seems to be something stopping a lot of people from connecting reliably to EA's servers.
I'm on PC using Steam:
Processor
AMD Ryzen 7 - 2700 (8-Core 3.2 Ghz)
Graphics Card
ASRock Phantom Gaming D Radeon RX 5500 XT 8G OC Video Card, RX5500XT PGD 8GO
RAM
64 GB (4x16 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 2666)
I have 1Gbps Internet with very little packet loss. I can play Boarderlands 3 - Dead By Daylight, etc without lag or any other issues.
I've troubleshot extensively, and no matter what happens, it's always the same for me:
Servers report good ping 20-40ms; I connect to my default, The ping wildly goes from ~30-200ms.
The game seems smooth, but when interactions happen, it gets choppy and laggy. It obviously makes gameplay tedious, if not, impossible.
I've never had issues like this before; this is new (since the last patch).
Other games work just fine.
Cleanbooting my PC yeilds the same performance issues.
I've checked with my ISP and there aren't congestion / performance issues
I was using CloudFire Public DNS; Have removed it to using whatever Window's default is, no change.
I tried launching the program as Admin outside of Steam; the issue is the same.
Interesting thing is there's certain hours, usually in the morning / early afternoon that the game runs flawlessly. But later in the evening, it drops to unplayable.
This seems like a server-load issue, But I don't have the data to confirm that. There ARE people that seem to be able to play without issue, so I may be at a loss for what to do. I'm an IT guy, and have exhausted everything my brain, google and these forums could offer.
When I contacted Technical support, all I got was the same info I googled and a refusal to provide anything concrete that these issues are being addressed beyond "Yes, they know about it, and you just have to wait." I'm still a little angered by that interaction because I want to be able to play my game and get the lofty 100 Knockouts goal before Fight Night is over for good. I can't do it with this lag... I'm pretty upset and kinda regret sinking hundreds of dollars into this game to receive this kind of support. Kashish really should re-evaluate his Customer Service skills... Anywho. Do we have any update on this?
