Severe latency spikes near enemies in BF6 beta – stable FPS, low ping

I've been playing the Battlefield 6 Open Beta on PC for a couple of days now, and I’m running into a frustrating issue that I haven’t been able to resolve despite extensive troubleshooting.

System Specs:

CPU: Intel i7-11800H (8-core, 16-thread)

GPU: RTX 3060 Laptop GPU

RAM: 16 GB DDR4

Connection: Wired Ethernet – stable ~55ms ping

FPS: Stable throughout gameplay

The Problem:

In Conquest mode (or any large-scale match), I consistently get latency variation and packet loss, especially when I approach enemy players or enter combat-heavy zones. The issue seems tied to proximity to other players. My FPS stays stable, and ping remains around 55ms, but gameplay becomes choppy and unresponsive during these moments.

This does not happen in smaller game modes like domination. The issue is clearly linked to the size of the match or intensity of action.

What I’ve Tried So Far:

Enabled NVIDIA Reflex Low Latency (On + Boost) and set the game to "high performance" in the GPU settings – reduced the issue slightly

Closed all background browser while playing.

Disabled Xbox Game Bar and Game Mode

Ran both the game and Task Manager as administrator

Cannot change process priority due to anti-cheat restrictions (I think this may be important)

Enabled hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling

    I've been having these issues with battlefield games for a long time, i've literally tried everything, even upgrading pc recently.

  • Same issue here, I'm on a Asus G14 with a 4060, everything is updated too.

    I got the same issue. Literally unplayable, spikes every 5 seconds. RTX 3080 + i7 10700K + 32 GB RAM.
