Anyone experiencing major lag?

I don't know what to do. I stepped away for a couple of months and now, for the past week, every match I play is full of rubberbanding, glitching through walls/terrain and enemy players straight up dissapearing. I feel like everyone is seeing me 3 seconds before they appear on my screen. According to the game my ping hovers around 12-20ms and there's no major packet loss. On top of this, half the time I start matchmaking I get into a game and then immediately get sent back to the title screen. I've tested my network numerous times and other games work fine. 

  • Hi xxRickSanchezx​,

    Sorry you’re dealing with that.

    If you’re seeing heavy rubberbanding, players disappearing, and even getting kicked back to the title screen despite normal ping and no obvious packet loss, that does sound frustrating, especially if other games are working fine on the same connection.

    If you haven’t already, it may also be worth going through this guide here:
    Troubleshoot ping and connection issues in Battlefield 6

    If you’re able to, could you also let us know whether you’re seeing any error code when it sends you back to the title screen?

    Thanks for taking the time to describe it so clearly.

  • EA, fix your Battlefield servers. They are so terrible and laggy that they make your already bug-riddled game unplayable. Alternatively, find a way to limit the connections of VPN players joining our servers (specifically the European ones) from other parts of the world. There are constantly players with massive ping affecting the server's overall performance, making the game feel laggy and impossible to play. I know your servers aren't exactly the fastest, but you need to do something about these players—mainly from China and Russia—who regularly show up with insane pings of 150, 200, or even 250. The overall impact is disastrous for people just trying to have fun with your game!

    Hi xxRickSanchezx​, 

    Thanks for the update.

    I’m glad to hear things have improved at least somewhat. For the part where it still occasionally sends you back to the title screen, a few things may still be worth trying if it continues:

    • Manually checking or changing the data center/server region before queueing
    • Avoiding any VPN, accelerator, or similar network-routing tools while testing
    • Power cycling the router/modem again after the driver changes, just to rule out any older connection state being cached
    • Keeping an eye on whether it happens at a specific time of day or only in certain modes

    If it does happen again, it would also help to note the exact time and whether the brief “server unavailable” message appeared right before it, since that may help narrow things down a bit more.

    Thanks again for coming back with the extra detail.

    I can't confirm whether it was the network or something I did, but the issues seem to have dwindled. I changed my DNS at first to Google and that helped a little, but I was still experiencing lag and glitches despite having no packet loss and a constant 14ms ping according to the in game graph.

    I just updated my chip set drivers after trying to fix an audio issue and I just played a match. There still seem to be some server issues, but it was minimal compared to what I was experiencing before. 

    Edit: I meant to add that I am not given an error code when it sends me back to the title screen, but I do see that "server unavailable" error at the start of every match but it goes away within seconds.
