Hi Anteriass ,
Sorry to hear you’ve been running into severe packet loss so consistently, especially after putting so much time into the game without this issue before.
From what you’ve described, this does sound less like a general hardware or bandwidth problem and more like something specific to routing, server conditions, or game-side behavior, especially if your ping remains stable and this is only happening in BF6.
If you haven’t already, please try the following:
- Temporarily disable any VPNs, overlays, boosters, or background network-related tools, then test again.
- Try a different server region or mode for comparison.
- Test on another network if possible, such as a mobile hotspot. If the packet loss improves there, that may point more toward the home network or ISP routing.
- On PC, verify the game files through Steam or the EA app.
Since you mentioned this started around the Hagental update and is now happening in almost every match, that context is especially helpful. If you’re able to share your platform, region, and whether it happens equally across all modes or server regions, that may help narrow things down further.
Also, this article may be helpful to you.
Thanks for the report.

- I don't have VPN, boosters, or anything running in the background except steam and AMD, but I doubt they are causing the issue as they have been on since I've started playing the game.
- I tried a portal game where I had 230 ping, I still got packet loss eventually.
- I'm on a wired connection, mobile provider is same as internet provider and my PC's Wifi card doesn't work right, again doubtful that wireless would be better than wired connection for packet loss
- Did this, however still getting packet loss
- I glanced the article and the only thing I can try there is change DNS but again this seems like an issue caused by the game updates, not something with my ISP, since no other games are affected.
It's just too annoying for now, so I uninstalled, perhaps in future patches I'll try again, hopefully it will somehow be resolved.
