(PC) Severe Packet Loss After Season 3 Update

@EA_Atic In regards to the icons, gotcha. That's what everyone told me they were, so that's what I assumed they were, but an unstable FPS sounds more reasonable.

My CPU: 11th Gen Intel Core i5-11260H @ 2.60GHz (12 CPUs), ~2.6GHz

I've also reattached a copy of dxdiag

@EA_Atic Tested today with the 3.1.2 update. Problem continues to occur. Very disappointed.

I have the same problem, I can't even record the screen in the game, so I can only take screenshots, first of all, I can guarantee that my computer configuration, network has no problems, I swear, I have tried many methods, whether it is The methods on Google, or the methods of people here, still can't play normally. After I bought this game from the third season, I can't play every game normally, every game! I haven't had the same issue with any other Battlefield series, ever! Only Battlefield 2042 has this problem, I love this game but I can't play it properly!

@EA_Leeuw Anything...?

Hi everyone,

With the release of Update 3.2, which was released today (31 Jan. 2023, 9 am UTC), are you still experiencing this issue or do you notice any improvements?

Thanks.

when will this be fixed? everything is the same, and this is how it happens with a lot of players

This happens every time with 128 players

Played for 2 hours after the newest update, and the game seems to run perfectly fine now. Cheers

nothing changed

@EA_Leeuw  When will this problem be resolved? season four? season five? Or should we wait until the next generation of Battlefield comes out? please do something

You schould try this :

I have a Ryzen 7 3800X CPU (8 cores, 16 threads) so I set the file like that :

...6

...6

...0

...0

...16

and it works almost perfectly for me : 60/80% CPU usage instead of 100% and almost all TN desapear along with the lag/bugs it induced.

You might need to try different numbers to find the best settings depending of your CPU.

I tried it once with other settings and thought the solution didn't work because I tried wrong numbers.

I have tested all combinations of numbers and Nothing has changed, I've had enough, I won't be playing this game again, I'm tired, have fun.

@PHounet in the end, I want to say that it helped me a lot, it's incredible

After trying all the tips on the forum (cfg file, clean boot, disabling antivirus, using a VPN etc...) I finally found a solution that removed the time nudge problem.

My problem was the easy anti-cheat!

I played 3 games with 128 players without losing any packets

Here is the method I used :

1) Close Battlefield and Origin or EA App.

2) Delete this:
  -Folder %appdata%/EasyAntiCheat
  -Folder EasyAntiCheat in game folder
  -File BF2042_launcher.exe

3) Run Origin/EA App and repair Battlefield.

4) Run EasyAntiCheat_Setup.exe from Game_Folder/EasyAntiCheat/
    and Repair (I don't know if it is useful but it doesn't cost anything)

After I don't know if this solution is temporary (return of the bug at the next restart/update of the game) if the bug returns I will edit the topic

Well... beginning of the season 4 and return of the TN bug...

I tried to redo the trick and it doesn't work anymore ....

I tested my packet loss on line on https://packetlosstest.com/ and the results are good whatever the configuration (about 25ms) we are far from the 650ms that I have on the 128 players maps...

I give up, I tested all the possible tricks and there is nothing that works... I will test again with the next update but I don't have much hope for this game...

Good luck to those who will try to make this game work

Hey all,

To keep everything organized, I'm closing this topic because Season 3 has ended.

If you experience the same problem in Season 4, it is recommended that you create a new topic for it.

Feel free to link this thread if needed.

Thank you!
