The game is fairly unplayable im experiencing extreme lag and rubberbanding on PS5. the little icons on the left of the screen are yellow and red.I don’t experience this with any other game not even other battlefield games. My connection speed is over 180mbps. my ping is always between 19ms and 30ms and i think it spikes every 5 seconds or so. enemies teleport to different areas so i lose gun fights. Even when i play solo against AI its stuttering. It seems to be okay the day after a patch but then it just goes back to stuttering. please help EA

@ColdFire1 I had issue on old PS4 until the disc drive failed so I bought a PS4 pro and installed a brand new SSD drive in it, still getting rubber banding. EA support email has said they are aware of the issue, it's not our end. Not internet or console.

@ColdFire1 Loads of people are having the issues, it's their end. My kids have been on all morning on Fortnite and now playing rocket league with no problems.i don't have it with battlefield 5 either. I've had an engineer out several times and nothing wrong with connection, they're even going to repull the cable from house to cabinet in January for me. I had a few games other night and no rubber banding but then next game it got rubber banding.

@EA_LeeuwGetting sick of it now, had a few rounds and it was ok, then next round it rubber bands, it's either your game or the servers. Making me rage and starting to hate the game.Oh and the graphics seem to have changed, looks rubbish now on PS4 pro on a 4k TV, didn't look that bad a week ago.

Other people are having same issue, I've tried a 5gmobile broadband hub with good speeds and still getting the issue. I've got another ISP installing in January to see if that works. According to your support it's not my internet.

Here is my post from another topic copy pasted with some things I have tried. I have the same issue playing from Xbox one x with a Samsung t5 SSD, since I cannot find a series x to buy yet. I call it lag, jerking or stuttering, but I do not believe it is internet related, as I have done multiple tests and have not had issues with any other game. I have 80-100mb down and 40mb upload. Ping generally around 30-40ms in most games that have the option to show internet details on screen. I believe it is strictly related to poor or incorrect coding or game design/execution. It can get really bad in helicopters, jerking back forth while trying to fly and aim. It also happens on foot just when running and basic movements are being made and of course during gunfights and aiming and sometimes the game literally stalls for a fraction of a second while I engage in a gunfight, substantially putting me at a disadvantage. I have tried many things to improve this from blowing out the Xbox to insure no excess dust creating heat, repositioning the Xbox for better airflow with external fans to promote better cooling....to letting a friend be the party leader, and even turning my FOV from 90 were I like to run, down to the lowest 50, and turning off all extra graphic options such as screen shake, extra HUD details, chromeratic abberation, vignette, etc.... All settings that I can possibly think MIGHT give me a chance in having an enjoyable game instead of an aggravating one. I am about ready to call it quits if they can't fix this game as this is only 1 issue out of many with BF2042 (I have reported some of them, but am starting to feel like I should be a paid game tester and not an end user). I have also been an avid battlefield player way back to when the first battlefield on PC was modded for modern combat, but I will choose to play a less desirable game to me that is stable and working over one that I want to play, but it is broken. I do understand games have bugs and problems that need to be fixed and I try to be understanding, but it seems overwhelming for this game, and an overly excessive amount of major core issues from such a large company. If you want to see video evidence, all of my past streams can be found on my twitch. I would even be willing to conduct tests or show this happening live if it would be helpful or speed up the fixing process. Admin edit: advertising not allowed.

I'm having the same issues on PC. The game is completely unplayable. I can't even run 10 feet in the game with severe lag. Says I'm getting 100fps but feels more like 10

I'm on PS4 Pro with SSD drive and fast connection and been getting this since release, not been on for a week or so but I take it it's not fixed.

Hey all,

Which specific icons do you see on-screen?

Definitely all the client side icons, high latency and packet loss. Sometimes I see the server icon in yellow. When i check my ping it’s usually only 20ms on PS5 but every 5 seconds or so it will stutter. I have a hard time believing its just my connection when i can play other games fine and stream videos on multiple devices with no issue. And its always smooth with no stuttering right after the most recent patches.
A video with no icons but still stuttering.

@mrdaxx15, hmm, alright. So pretty much all the client-side icons and one server-side icon from time to time? This unfortunately allows me to believe that it still could be your local connection.

To test a few things, I would like to ask you to go to this website http://www.dslreports.com/speedtest and run a test (preferably via ethernet cable) from your pc/laptop that is connected on the same network as your console, and please post a screenshot of the results if you can. I am curious to see if it could be your bufferbloat.

@EA_Leeuw I'm getting the packet loss, high latency, and the latency variation. All three in orange and red. I'm also getting numbers that pop up in orange and red.

I tried running the test on my computer and it failed, also tried my phone and the test wouldn't even start

@ColdFire1, oh wow, never experienced this before with this website. Could be that there's something seriously wrong with your connection. Can you give it a try via another browser on your computer?

@EA_Leeuw I tried it with Chrome and Edge. Chrome would not start the test at all and the picture is from when I tried Edge

@ColdFire1, do you have some kind of content blocker/ad blocker installed? Becase I kinda need the results from the website in order to perform further troubleshooting... :/
