High Simulation Latency (Time Nudge issue) in Battlefield 6 Beta

Hello,

I have been testing the Battlefield 6 Beta on PC (i9-13980HX, RTX 4080 Laptop, 32GB RAM, Windows 11, EA App and Steam) and I’ve run into a serious issue.

My ping (LAT) is stable around 40–50 ms.
My FPS are stable (100+).
My temperatures are normal (CPU and GPU under control, no thermal throttling).
But the Simulation Latency (TN) spikes extremely high (900–1200 ms, sometimes up to 2000 ms). This makes the entire game run in slow motion.

This issue happens only with Battlefield 6. Other online and demanding games run normally without latency problems.

To try and fix it, I have already reinstalled the game (EA App and Steam), updated Windows, GPU drivers and all system drivers, reinstalled GPU drivers clean, updated BIOS and chipset, tweaked NVIDIA Control Panel, set the game to minimum settings, tested power plans and high performance mode, and monitored hardware temps. All are fine.

The only workaround I’ve found is limiting FPS to 30, which reduces TN spikes a little (instead of 1000 ms it stays around 300–500 ms, still with spikes up to 2000 ms). But this does not solve the issue and makes the game almost unplayable.

Out of all the matches I’ve played during the closed and open beta, only 3 matches have stayed under 100 ms TN. The majority of servers show this high simulation latency problem, suggesting a server-side issue.

It is a pity cause I like the game, at least the few battles I played. When I turn some graphics settings up, the game runs consistently in 1900–2000 TN.

Please investigate this issue, as it makes most matches completely unplayable despite having good hardware, stable temps, and a solid internet connection.

Thanks.

  • Ive been experiencing what I perceive as mouse input lag. Not sure if its related, but it was fine last weekend pre the update..unplayable....almost as if the mouse is intermittently disconnecting and connecting....Only this game as well..
