Connection timeout error every single game

I cannot play an entire BF2042 match to completion. Every game, I lose connection to BF2042 servers with a Connection Timeout error. It plays flawlessly for 5 - 15 minutes max.

Error code: 1:~891751198O:500156999B

I purchased the game through Epic Games Store. I am starting the game through EA.

PC Specs:

  • Windows 10 Pro - fully patched
  • Ryzen 5 5600X
  • Nvidia RTX 2080 : Drivers 31.0.15.2756
  • M.2 NVME SSD at 500 MB/s
  • Ethernet connection 300 mbps w/ 10 - 15 latency and 0 packet drops

Steps I've taken attempting to self-help:

  1. Uninstall and reinstall game
  2. Uninstall and reinstall EA app
  3. Reinstall Nvidia drivers
  4. Delete windows firewall rules and set new rule for BF2042
  5. Reset router, set DNS to 1.1.1.1, set DHCP reservation for the PC.
  6. Restart PC
  7. Restart app
  8. Restart router

Nothing has worked. Please help

    Do you have a 4g device that you can use as a network hub to test and see if the same issue happends. Make sure its not connected to the wifi at the same time. @ChairmanDao27,
