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...

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.

DICE TeamHey, @BowHunterforlife @Krakkenbus @AegisJaeger @Tika27093 have you tried our connective guide and see if that helps?
Let us know what you tried.

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
Hard-drive space: 100GB
If my experience is anything to judge by minimum specs people shouldn't even be able to play this game if I can't.
@EA_Atic Here is an example of our experience, a few days old but I still have the same experience today
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Z7xVMRA1DUYou are experincing exactly same problems as me, Have you noticed any similar wack going on in the 32/64 player server in the portal?
Same exact thing going on with me as well. Done everything that I can think of besides reinstall the OS which I see that you did, so I figure that isn't going to help any. Each day I play at least 3 matches and then I can't take the lag anymore. I want to enjoy this game, I really do, but this lag is terrible.
@EA_Atic
No, I have not because it is not worth my time when my connection is perfectly fine and works in LITTERRALLY EVERY OTHER GAME THAT I PLAY!
I don't mean to be rude here... but I am an IT Professional and I know when things are haywire on my end. My home setup is dedicated to video games and streaming and I have ensured that all of my internet connectivity is working as it should for this purpose.The video posted by @Over2Take sums it up perfectly. The flashing yellow boxes remain flashing and everything moves around so unpredictably in the game it's unplayable.
I am honestly on the verge of requesting a refund for this mess and going back to Battlefield 4 if EA cannot get this resolved soon because this is ridiculous. The day1 patch resolved my ping fluctuation but the packet loss is still there.
Hey @EA_Atic I tried the connective guide, nothing happened, here is the video ; https://youtu.be/sON0WwWfNmU
You can see i have 5 ms ping, but insane packet loss
Me too i have 100 mb in download and 100 mb in upload i restart my router, i call mi ISP and hes tell me its fine, i play other games and i not have this problem, its only in BTF 2042, and in all servers hes tell me package loss, i do a DMZ in my IP and i open all ports from this game... And nothing the problem its stay here
- EA_AticThats not network issues that hardware performance issues @Tika27093
The red/yellow marker is FPS issue warnings.
What platform are you on?

@MrHaydiePoothis looks like internet problems, especially cause you got the symbol for latency.
i found this one here which explained, atleast for bf4, the meaning of the symbols:
http://www.battlefield-inside.de/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/bf4_server_client_icons.pngI thought so too but every other multiplayer game runs completely fine, even other battlefield games with full 64 player lobbies. But on 2042 I can barely get through a rush game without intense lag. Appreciate the reply tho
