Performance Icons
When I play, I get a constant performance icon on the left side. It's 3 squares stacked up on top of each other. What does this mean? is it something likely on my end? Any chance of knowing how I can...

Community ManagerGot it, thanks!
Would you mind if we try changing the Windows DNS settings to see if that makes any difference? Sometimes using a different DNS can help with issues like this.
You can update the DNS through the Windows TCP/IP Settings. You can find more details on how to get there at the Microsoft Support website. Choosing the Manual option will let you enter a DNS of your choice. I usually recommend the public Google DNS (Primary DNS: 8.8.8.8; Secondary DNS: 8.8.4.4), but some people have mentioned that using the public Cloudflare DNS can also help (Primary DNS: 1.1.1.1).
Let me know if you're still seeing any of the icons popping up after that. Thanks!
Sadly, there was no change at all.

Thank you for giving it a shot.
What happens if you start your PC in a Clean Boot before you launch BF2042? That way if there's something else running that could be related to the issues that might help get around it.
You can find more details on how to set up a Clean Boot at the EA Help website. Once you've had the chance to give it a shot please let me know how it goes. Thanks!
I do a clean boot and probably the first 3 or so minutes of a match, it runs fine then it's yet again, nothing but packet loss.

Hmm, gotcha. Are there any other devices connecting to the same network around the time you're seeing it happen?
