BF6 suddenly became extremely stuttery/slow-motion since October 20
Platform: PC
Launcher: Steam

Hi,
I’m experiencing a sudden and severe stuttering/slow-motion problem in Battlefield 6 that started on October 20, 2026.
Before October 20, the game was completely playable on my laptop. My FPS was usually around 48-60 FPS, and although I know my GPU isn’t particularly powerful for BF6, I never had serious problems with the game.
Since October 20, the gameplay has become extremely bad. The problem happens immediately after joining a match and occurs across every multiplayer map and mode I’ve tested. I also experience the same problem in REDSEC.
My FPS is still around 48-60 FPS, which is roughly what I was getting before the problem started. The issue isn’t that my FPS suddenly dropped dramatically. Instead, the actual gameplay becomes extremely stuttery and sometimes feels like slow motion.
During the stuttering, three small rectangle warning indicators repeatedly appear in the upper-left corner.
I have tested Battlefield 1 on the same laptop and internet connection, and BF1 runs normally. Other games are also working normally.
I haven’t changed my hardware. The important point is that the same laptop, GPU and approximately 48-60 FPS were perfectly playable in BF6 before October 20.
Could this be related to a recent BF6 update, a server-side change, a simulation/Time Nudge issue, or another BF6-specific problem?
Could you please let me know if this is a known issue or what diagnostic information I can provide to help determine the cause?
Thank you
