Consistent severe packet loss every game since Hagental update.

I've played the game for 347 hours, a large portion of those hours were completely packet loss free.

Around the Hagental base update, I started getting packet loss almost every game, it's now a rarity to have a packet loss free game. It's with the red icon indicating severe. It makes me crash while playing jet, makes me miss flares as heli, loses air fights, loses gun fights when on the ground, overall it makes the game **bleep** to play. 

I have 1gb download 550 MB upload speed, I have no latency, consistent below 40 ping, always around 35 or 38. My PC is 7800X3D 32GB RAM and 9070 XT.

Why is this a thing now after some update and how do I fix this, I already tried  resetting router etc. It's also Bf6 specific.

    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:

    1. Temporarily disable any VPNs, overlays, boosters, or background network-related tools, then test again.
    2. Try a different server region or mode for comparison.
    3. 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.
    4. 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.
