(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 ...

Hi @EA_Leeuw,
Attached a screenshot for you - I got 85% CPU usage just booting to the game menu, no actual gameplay in progress and no other games or intense applications running, so I would suggest that this linked. I've also included a DxDiag for info.
FYI I also have an open and long-standing ticket where I can only access Sundance's scatter grenade. No idea if this is relevant but thought i'd mention.
Cheers,
Jack
@BigJackJones, this topic is about packet loss after the Season 3 update, not a CPU issue. It looks like you mention 2 different, unrelated, issues in one post, that you posted in the wrong thread. Please don't do this, as this will mess up the flow of the thread and will make it go off-topic. I would recommend using the search function of the forums to check if there are any existing threads about the issues that you are experiencing.
So far it looks to be quiet in this thread with fewer new reports from people who are experiencing network-related packet loss. I even see some posts mentioning that it has been resolved.
Question; are you now still experiencing packet loss? If so, can you record a video with the in-game network graph enabled and share this video here?
Hi @EA_Leeuw, i was answering your question about the CPU usage, not intending to mess up the thread.
I am still having playability issues. I would say it's marginally better, but that is possibly because I was playing a smaller map (TDM). It's still an issue.
I recorded a new video for you today: https://youtu.be/qGzUQXYe41s
For a particularly bad spike, see when the timer in the top left is at about 02:50.
Can you confirm that the tech team are investigating?
This could help some of you for more/better performance
Its about the User.cfg , about save location and edit instructions.
try it and see if it is any good for you:

Ah thanks, updated 👍
- EA_Leeuw@BigJackJones, thanks, I see it now.
Could you mention the timestamp of the video where you think you saw a big packet loss spike? I haven't been able to spot it so far, everything looks to be okay judging by the video. I am also unable to spot a high TN, for example. @EA_Leeuw the big freeze/spike is at 1:25 but not sure if it was packet loss. Some packet loss at 1:40 and around 6:00
Cheers,
Jack
- EA_Leeuw@BigJackJones, ah yeah I can definitely see it now, jeez that doesn't look good. And you never had this before the Season 3 update went live a couple of weeks ago?
@EA_Leeuw No, never had that issue before go-live. I played a bit over the weekend. I was seeing it pretty regularly on Friday and a few times on Saturday. I don't remember it happening on Sunday though and I don't recall seeing it specifically followed by high packet loss on the graph thing. I've stopped recording everything bc it's pretty time consuming but it might not be packet loss related.
