(PC) Severe Packet Loss After Season 3 Update
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 ...

Community Manager@BertHandsome, thanks for the video! I can indeed see the packet loss. Jeez, it sometimes goes up to the 20%+ packet loss. That is not good.
@Dissidian84, packet loss as well, hmm.
Did this happen to both of you after Season 3 went live and have you never had this issue before?
@BigJackJones, @Sam_The_Bear_xD, @Rockumo, I can indeed see that you suffer from high TN. I have the feeling that this can be related to the CPU constantly at a 100% usage issue, that the teams are investigating. When you have a high TN, have you also ever checked your Task Manager > Performance to check if you can see if your CPU is also constantly at 100% usage?
@EA_Leeuw I’ve always had random bouts of pocket loss because I’m on DSL, but they would only last a second or two. But after Season 3, it is easily replicated by running to a congested part of a map, and it usually lasts until I die or leave (slowly, by lagging 😂) to a different part of the map.
- EA_Leeuw@BertHandsome, so... you always had packet loss because of your connection, because you are playing via DSL you say, but it got worse with Season 3, right?
@EA_LeeuwCorrect. Significantly worse.
Again, I've always dealt with occasional packet loss, but it would only last for a second, not minutes, and never to the extent of not being able to reload or crouch or throw a grenade or having enemies pop in and out of my screen, etc.
Also. As stated in the original post, I have another PC on the same network, and it runs fine without constant packet loss, so while the DSL speed may be a factor, I highly doubt it is the main factor.
I will also add that I do NOT run into the issue at all when playing Solo/Co-Op with bots, even with both PCs playing.
And. The issue isn't nearly as prevalent when playing on smaller game modes such as Rush.Edit: I have attached a copy of DxDiag if that helps.
- @BertHandsome season 3 is a heavy one, it realy makes your cpu work !
And in combo with dsl it can give issues. Some got profi by reserving cpu fro system and game (check forum). Also make sure there is nothing else in the background running with network, windows updates , trorren downloader ecxt ect ect. Best way to find out if other software make it a bit harder is by executing a CLEAN BOOT !
then test game again !
