Battlefield 6 Latency and Lag

I am getting all kinds of server side lag. My name on the scoreboard constantly shows a wifi symbol with an exclamation point through it. Here are some of things I am experiencing:

  1. Sliding in different directions like I am drifting.
  2. Severely delayed ADS
  3. Rubber-banding back and forth and watching friendlies and enemies do the same.
  4. When firing or receiving fire I die instantly with no one there.

This problem existed in the beta and I assumed it was a server load problem. I tried various fixes and speedtests on my end and I have no problem in any other online game, including Battlefield 5. 

Is this a known issue? Is there a fix? Can we change are server location?

    Hey, folks

    Thanks for taking the time to let us know that the servers are connecting to different locations. We appreciate all the info you posted. Can we get the following from you so that we can pass it along to the team to have a look at?

    • EA ID:
    • Steam ID:
    • Platform:
    • Which console generation do you have? (NA if on PC)
    • What is your Gamertag/PSN ID? 
    • Date/time issue occurred?
    • What type of issue do you have? Server connection issues, Lag/Latency, etc
    • Summarize your bug: Be as specific as you can

    Update: We wanted to get more info from everyone on what may help and if it does or does not change anything on your end. When you get a chance, follow the steps below and change your DNS to see if it helps with this concern.

    Your Internet Service Provider (ISP) uses the Domain Name System (DNS) to translate internet addresses from a human-readable address (like help.ea.com) to a computer-readable one (a string of numbers).

    If something goes wrong with the DNS you’re using, you may run into issues trying to connect to the internet.

    If your DNS is unreliable, switching to a different one might help fix your connection issues. Here are a couple of free options that are available if you want to switch:

    Me and my friend were also experiencing this. Both of us had no problem with our internet connection. It mainly is a problem on the bigger modes. We played tdm and sqdm and they worked completely fine without lag. But when we went to play conquest it was borderline unplayable.

    I’m having a similar issue. Game shows packet loss and server lag and I move in slow motion with jittery laggy aim and everyone on my screen is rubber banding all over the place.

    I too am having some awful rubber banding. It's causing me to wildly clip through the environment/buildings etc. when I run forward I keep strafing to the left and right. I don't know where to report this.

    Yah, I noticed when I played on smaller maps it is better. If I play any big team or map mode it I am getting the above problems. I am not sure what the fix is truthfully. I hope they address this.

    Things I have tried: restarts, overclocks, disabling all other wifi frequencies except one, and turning up priority. I also used this guide I found randomly for other stuff.

    I have no idea how successful this will be. I just want to play some game x_x

    Did a couple of trace tests and found 9ms ping until I hit EA servers, it spiked to 85ms at its lowest and 312ms at its highest. I was being routed to US servers based in Virginia!! I've tried NoPing, Cloud flare, even VPN's to try and force EA's server routing to keep me in Europe but nope, I'd initially hit Europe (London or Frankfurt) on some of my attempts and then bang straight across the Atlantic ocean to Virginia servers again!

    1gbps connection
    9ms local ping to Google servers
    85-312ms in BF6 due to [removed] poor server routing
    Let's be fair, this is a [removed] poor attempt at a [removed] launch if a third of your player base can't play 🤦

    (cm edit removed language - let's keep it clean)
