Battlefield 6 broken lag / LAT DEV spikes

Hi, I’m on a wired gigabit connection with a Netgear Nighthawk router and everything else online runs perfectly.   In Battlefield 6 (PC, US-East), I’m getting severe LAT DEV (jitter) spikes even th...

    OskooI_007​ I think i have solved my issue. I kept the user.cfg file, I guess I understand what your saying, but my results with the custom file cut cpu usage in half across all cores, if I dont use the file it really runs at 95-100% causing a bottleneck. With that said, I switched my xmp profile to 2, found out my ryzen 5 5600g its only officially rated for ram speeds at 3200mhz, thats why when I enabled xmp it was defaulting to 3200mhz when I had it on auto. I switched that to 3733mhz which is what the ram is rated for. That also somehow fixed the issue with the incorrect timing of ram aswell. 

    Im not sure if this is also related but i believe it did help a lot, i had my main monitor plugged into my mobo hdmi slot instead of my GPU because with both my primary and secondary monitor plugged into my GPU, bf6 would load in with my resolution set wrong even when I had the correct settings in game. I opened up Nvidia control panel and forced the display to render on the GPU not display, and checked rhe box to override any game setting. I also set the 3d settings for ultra performance. After all that the game is actually running how it should, thank you for all your help.

exoticblaze420​ thank you for posting screenshots.

The yellow icon with 3 stacked rectangles in the top left corner of the screen is indicating the framerate is dropping below 60fps.

The blue client frame time (CFT) line in the network graph is your framerate. The line is jumping up to 18ms which calculates to 55fps.

1,000ms ÷ 18ms = 55fps

There's 1,000ms in a second. The game's taking 18ms to render a frame. Which mean the game can render 55 frames per second.

Notice how the blue time nudge (TN) line in the LAT/ALAT graph jumps up at the exact same time as the blue CFT line whenever CFT goes above 16ms which is 60fps?

The time nudge (TN) network lag is being caused by the game's framerate dropping below 60fps. A low framerate can cause network lag.

You can read more about time nudge (TN) in the link below.

To continue troubleshooting why the framerate is dropping below 60fps, please download HWiNFO and post a screenshot of your System Summary.

    exoticblaze420​ the answer to your question is to keep troubleshooting until we resolve the low framerate issue. Your system is powerful enough to run BF6 at over 60fps.

    The memory timings are loose in HWiNFO. The timings are 22-23-23-55-78 instead of the XMP timings of 16-18-18-38-57.

    It doesn't appear XMP/A-XMP is enabled in motherboard BIOS settings.

    Please post a screenshot with the FPS Performance Overlay on-screen. Set it to Advanced.

    This will tell us what the game's framerate is and if there's a CPU or GPU bottleneck.
