I just brought the game off Steam. Whenever I'm in game, when deployed, I get constant lag, as if I am missing packets, with the 3 orange squares in the top left. I have no other problems with any other online games, on Steam or Origin. I also have a wired connection with 500mbps download and 100mbps upload. I have been through the self-hep troubleshooting but nothing seems to work. I've tried restarting my game, PC and internet, verifying files through Steam and using the repair function on Origin. I've tried troubleshooting with the Windows network but that came up with nothing. Nothing seems to have fixed the problem and can't find any solution that works. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I dont think it really needs a recording, he said it doesnt happens in other games and that he have good connection, so it is probably the Desync/Time Nudge problem, that is deffinely related to server/netcode issue, so the devs really needs to look at it asap, especially cause a lot of people are repporting this, my self included, and its just a pain to play when it starts, really anoying, not fun at all.

It has nothing to do with CPU or GPU, don't waste people's time to do some stupid unneeded fixes that can only make things worse. It is clearly about server performance. I have 5900x and 3070ti, playing on low resolution at 144 and one game it works as smooth as silk and then another game it lags insanely.

0:06 I teleport forward0:10 my gun feels and sounds like it stuttering 0:16 I tried to go up the stairs but the game lagged me around them?0:20 very winnable gun fight but my bullets don't seem to connect on the server side I guess0:49 I teleport forward and bullets don't seem to connect againThis is what it is like every time I deploy.

I have this as well sometimes, my FPS is 144 and no bottleneck but it keeps lagging and stuttering.

Not entirely sure that is the case. There might be a underlaying problem.I have a i7-8700K (No OC), RTX 3080 and 32 GB Ram.On 29th Sept. starting getting these issues, without updating my Nvidia drivers or anything. I tried everything, went from 90+ FPS to 30-45 FPS with tons of these warnings. CPU is not thermal throttling, GPU is not neither. I have changed nothing in-game or installed any software in Windows. So I tried to move the game from my "gaming SSD", Samsung EVO 850 SSD to my dedicated m.2 SSD, with still nothing.I have to friends, both with same RAMs, CPUs, Windows 10 and same harddrives run over the settings. One is running everything on low with 2070 Super card, getting around 70 FPS, while the other have 3070 and getting 80-90 FPS and runs the game on ULTRA with the same RAM, and CPU (!!!!!)I used to run the game around 95 FPS, maybe a bit less with tons of explosions and what ever could happen. I tried updating the Nvidia to the newest driver (had the next-newest before I updated) with no results. I even tried setting everything to LOW, and still have the same FPS. I do not understand how I can play this game fine, one day and then suddenly getting these issues. Settings attached.

@TwitchAndo BF2042 also at c: ?
Hmmm , euuhmmm , personally i would make D: the boot drive, switch cables, install windows on it , and install only BF2042 on it.
Use the normal hdd for all other data. Disconnect your 3th drive if ya play game !

Bot do first a cleanboot, start Origin /Steam as adminstrator, test game !
Did already try a cleanboot?

@Rokebo73Only got the game yesterday so wouldn't be able to compare different windows updates. Just tried the cleanboot and didn't change anything, if anything -5fps. Also BF2042 is the only thing stored on the SSD, It was on my hard drive before but moved it as that seems to solve other problems people are having but clearly not mine.
