Battlefield 2042 laggy on ps5
Bought the game to play over the holidays without checking any reviews or so on (probably was my first mistake lol). I’ve played it for 12H in total and have had massive lags like every minute there ...

I've managed to fix it by changing the wifi settings in the ps5 to 5Ghz.
For some reason, my wifi setting was set to 2.4Ghz by default. Also changing the DNS to Googles public one helped the process. (I think)
8.8.8.8
8.8 4.4
Hope this helps
@MmoFanaitc Its funny I’ve been looking into the DNS today. I’ve never had any problems finding or connecting to a match on my PS5 and I’ve always use the Google DNS 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. Is there any chance you could put it back to auto? And see if you get problems again
I’m trying out 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1 currently to see. I tried auto myself but it worked as good. I can’t seem to reproduce the connection issues that people are having. Thanks
Yeah I hear you. I dont think DNS would make a huge difference anyways but I do it as a precaution.
However, if you go to your network settings on the ps5 and press square on your SSID, toggling it to 5Ghz seemed to be the fix for me.
Have you tried setting wifi to 2.4Ghz?
I can almost swear this is the issue.
@MmoFanaitc I’m connected via Ethernet, but I did have a look and switched it to Wi-Fi. It was already on 5GHz so moved it to 2.4GHz and had a game of breakthrough 64. Ran at 28ms full 32v32 but had some weird random rubberbanding at times.
I have quite a modern router only 10 feet away but I wonder how many out there are on 2.4 unknowingly. I did notice a difference though.
