Lag, packet loss, stuttering since patch

Lag, packet loss, stuttering.. all happened since the update. See attached network graph. I also have two 4-minute replays of gameplay from same round. Unplayable.

I have been one of the lucky ones and for the most part, everything worked since launch.

    Hi, 

    Depending on which, if any, cloud service you use, you may find that your documents folder is being backed up to the cloud. This is what causes latency issues for me.

    Personally, I use Mega, so it's relatively straight forward to deselect this folder "Battlefield 2042".

    But it could be any service: OneDrive, Dropbox, etc etc. If you are not syncing anything to the cloud, then follow the EA teams instructions. 

    Good luck! 😊

  • @EA_Aljo i attached a screenshot of my game that shows all the info like packet loss in and out, and the TN (time nudge) i never heard of it till now, it was in my BF 2042 network settings that breaks down all the abbreviations on the screenshot, you'll see it between LAT after 4ms and before the SFT its will show TN 1,389

    @FullMetalR0nin 

    The time nudge is 1389 MS. That's really bad and is indicating an issue with your connection or CPU. Can you run a DXDiag report and attach it here? You can find those instructions in this article.

  • @EA_Aljo i have attached it for you, and as a heads up i have also wiped my pc last night and reformatted the hard drives, and did a clean install of all drivers and still have the same issue.

    I'm not noticing anything that unusual except for some errors with Cheat Engine. Can you try performing a clean boot and see if you still have the same issue?

  • @EA_Aljo i did go through that before re installing everything, so the only things that were running after my clean boot were steam and origin, and BF 2042, and i still had the same issue with the lag, i had not installed anything else till after i tried bf for a few hours, had the same issue before i reinstalled anything else.

    @FullMetalR0nin 

    Thanks for those details. There are some more current Nvidia drivers available. Could you try those? Also, check your router to see if there's a firmware update.

  • @EA_Aljo good evening, so i did make sure i am up to date with all current Nvidia drivers, and my modem is up to date firmware wise, my ISP gave me a new one and made sure it was updated as well as i just double checked with them to be sure as they said it is all good and updated 🙂
