I've been playing the game on my PC since launch and, though there were some hiccups at the start, after the first major update things were well optimized and the game ran fine. However, after the recent update (season 3), my game is virtually unplayable with a constant issue of packet loss. Whenever I enter a "busy" part of any map, the yellow packet loss icon appears, and remains on until I leave to the outskirts of the map. Now, my PC is not the best, but it always ran the game fine on LOW settings. And it's not my internet because my wife's PC (which isn't as new) runs the game without any issues. I'll also add that when experiencing the packet loss, I have no drop in frames.I've tried rebooting the PC and the modem. I've flushed the DNS on the PC. I can't figure it out. . .

I've been having the same issue as well since the season 3 update. Every match I get into shows the 3 red boxes on the top left corner. Before this update, the game used to run just fine. Now we're getting packet losses all of a sudden. Can we get a fix please.

Yes, i still have the same issues with high tn etc, ill upload another video so you can see actually ill link video 3.0 and the new 3.1 for you to see.it's a fresh install of the game and windows on both videos2700xRTX 2070windows 103.5t (2 1t drives 1 hdd and 2 ssd ) Battlefield its alone on 1T sdd M.2I did what you guys suggested on Twitter and the forum of playing 3 rounds to see the differences of 3.1 patch and let me tell you the last video is after those rounds. So I've been playing 2h like you saw on the video. It's torture guys this cost me 2h of my life for nothing (not total game time) and 70€ down the hole, of a game I was playing regularly before season 3 90/100 fps no problems on high.3.0 patch season 3 🏈 Battlefield 2042 performance issues - YouTube 3.1 patch season 3 after 3 Battlefield 2042 patch 3.1.0, performance isseus remain PT2. - YouTube

@EA_Leeuw Hi, I am having the same issue and have recorded as requested. The video will be at this link once uploaded and processed: https://youtu.be/YQQtC6WYl_0I have been having these issues since the patch. It feels like lots of micro lag and packet loss - often people will be jumping around a few meters when you're trying to hit them. I'm not the best player but the significant lag doesn't make things easier.A few key times:01:46 - Grenade02:50 - Delayed shots04:05 - Can see the glitchy enemy movement. Happens more often in close quarters.05:25 - Stuttering05:50 - Door confusion06:05 - Delay to bullets - fully auto almost sounds burst07:10 - Grenade delaysCheers, Jack

Atleast we getting a brake from video games for prob more then a monthTN over 1000 , game slowmotion, teleportation sliding back and forth.While others have 0% problems , didnt see any esport streamers having this issue.But seen the people they are shooting at having this issue so prob many dont report on this.If only we could help whit this fix , its as if ISP blocked some Ip host names for the servers.

@Rokebo73 My friend, since before the latest patch I haven't had to have a single concern about background tasks, even installing other games while playing without instability 🙂If I have to treat my PC as a battlefield-specific bubble for it to run properly (which I don't think will fix the issue, when you look at the numbers) it stops being worth the hassle I'm afraid. We need to focus on fixing the sudden hunger for resources, rather than bending over backwards to accommodate it.

@BertHandsome can you make a movie/screenshots with network/fps graphs displayed please!
Also try a cleanboot to make sure no background software is causing those issues.
Update us please !

Hey @BertHandsome,

Sorry to hear that you're having this issue.

Could you maybe play a few rounds & record these rounds with the in-game Network Performance graph enabled? This how-to describes how you can enable that in-game graph.

If you want to share the recording, we recommend uploading it to either YT or Streamable and pasting the share link here.

Thanks.

@Rokebo73 I did a cleanboot and still had the same issues. Also not to forget the 100% CPU usage. That's also happening to me as well.

Here's a round of mine showing the 3 red boxes along with the network performance graphs as well.
