LATE SPAWN AT START OF GAME

In about 75% of games I play, I spawn in several seconds later than everybody else, which prevents me from securing any vehicle. This should not happen with my configuration, and I have determined it is an issue with the Battlefield 2042 servers. 

I’m playing the game on a wired Ethernet connection that is very stable with speeds approaching 100 MB/s. My PC was built in 2019 with high end parts including an X570 motherboard, 3700X, and recently installed a 6700XT GPU. There is nothing in my hardware setup that would cause this issue. I am also certain it is not a network issue as I do not experience anything like this in any other game. 

I have noticed this issue for at least a year, although it’s possible it has been happening since I began playing the game when it launched and just didn’t notice. 

Vehicles are the reason I play battlefield, and not having a chance most of the time to secure one at the start of a game is beyond frustrating. I have seen others post threads about this issue, and moderators reply with overly simplistic troubleshooting tips that are not relevant, such as “restart your device”, or “uninstall and reinstall the game”. These are unacceptable solutions. This is currently one of the most significant issues with the game and I can’t believe it has not been addressed yet.

    I noticed my profile was demoted from a 3 star newbie to a 1 star novice. I’m not sure if this is a glitch or if moderators are intentionally trying to suppress this post, but either way it’s alarming. You cannot silence issues, we will persist in voicing these items.

    @ChungusBaka I’ve noticed at the start of Season 5 that my match load time seems to be a bit longer than previously- but typically I still load in prior to being able to select vehicles.

    What type of drive do you have the game installed to?

    @ChungusBaka Don't have any great suggestions for your issue I'm afraid (I don't play on PC, but in past titles you spawned earlier when using an SSD so that might be a reason potentially), but just wanted to let you know that Novice is above Newbie rank, so you have actually been promoted on AHQ.

    This guide lists the ranks, in case you wanted to check:

    I have the game downloaded on a 5000+ MB/s nvme read/write SSD. No other game has loading issues.

    That’s weird, I lost stars for some reason after I made this post. I don’t really care about my rank on an EA forum, just thought it was silly
