packet loss
When I am in matches with 128 players, I have terrible packet loss. The connection to the server is so terrible that I cannot shoot enemy players, or move effectively in combat. I cannot use vehicles...

It's literally unplayable in its current state. I have exactly the same issue. No issues with my connection but my lord there's a massive issue when playing on 128 people servers.
I've gone as far as opening any port I can think of that relates to this game and it has not helped. I have reset my modem and my router and no success either.
Just like you, I can play literally any other game that I want to without any issues. As soon as I load into the game, it starts immediately. I actually got a few flashes of my latency and its well over 250 and seems to be constantly fluctuating.

Just don't I have spent 35+ hours trying to troubleshoot this issue with EA Support, this is the same link they send time and time again. This morning I hit rock bottom and reinstall windows and all I have installed on this device is BF 2042 and Origin and still see the same issue. @EA_Atic here a list of almost all Troubleshooting I have done and see no changes. There is a major issue with the game not working according to your minimum specs...
- Restarted all network devices.
- Attempted to see if I had packet loss or odd latency to several servers located in the US. (L.A., Dallas, Huston, Chicago, Newyork)
- All results are pings within expected milliseconds.
- No packet loss
- Attempted traceroutes to the same servers.
- No ISP loops to the data centres
- No failed routes
- Verified all network and video drivers were up to date.
- Disabled all firewalls on the device.
- Changed my DSN servers to multiple providers.
- Google: 8.8.8.8 & 8.8.4.4
- OpenDNS: 208.67.222.222 & 208.67.220.220
- Cloudflare: 1.1.1.1 & 1.0.0.1
- Verified no ports from the following list were blocked.
- purevpn.com/port-forwarding/battlefield-2042
- Utilizing the same port information set up forwarding for all ports on my network.
- Disabled all other start-up services on the device.
- Attempted a game session using safe mode with networking.
- Played other games, including Battlefield V and 1, to see if I experienced packet loss
- No network issues were detected on servers with acceptable ping 32ms-100ms
For the record my specs are:
Ryzen 7 1700x Overclocked to 3.6 GHz32 GB of Ram
GTX 1060 6gb
Windows 10
BF 2042 minimum specs:OS: 64-bit Windows 10
Processor (AMD): AMD Ryzen 5 1600
Processor (Intel): Core i5 6600K
Memory: 8GB
Video Memory: 4GB
Graphics card (NVIDIA): Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti
Graphics card (AMD): AMD Radeon RX 560
DirectX: 12
Online Connection Requirements: 512 KBPS or faster Internet connection

If my experience is anything to judge by minimum specs people shouldn't even be able to play this game if I can't.
