Constant latency spikes, packet loss, or just poor connection to servers

I'll be honest, I am a HUGE BF fan, played all of them (though not so much BF1, V or 2042) and was VERY excited for the release of BF6. My excitement was in the clouds on launch.

I say all this because my experience the last 48 hours in BF6 has NOT been great, I can play for hours and have a great connection, great ping, no packet loss. Then suddenly, server after server after server of 200 ping with heavy packet loss. "Just do the custom search" this doesn't fix the issue. As someone that has friends in EU I am used to playing games while having a 120ish ping, I can deal with that.

What I can't deal with, is 200 ping spikes that jump up as high as 350. And when its going on, it appears to go on for hours, and you can't get away from it. At the end of the day, this is an issue I think that SERIOUSLY needs to be focused. QUALITY of service is a huge importance to us. PLEASE dig hard into this and fix it fast! And before anyone says, "you should check your internet," I have gigabyte fiber, literally do speed tests the moment I start having issues, WITH the game running, and I am aways pushing, well Gig up and down with no jitter or noise.

    Normally I just go to multiplayer and go to conquest and "play," I suspect sometimes the game just throws you into whatever region it wants to.

    That being said, i have seen this issue using filters before too, for only North America. So region doesn't matter, I have friends in EU so sometimes I am connected to them with a ping around 120 (which is playable) sometimes the pocket loss isn't there, sometimes it's insanely high.

  • PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF EVERYTHING HOLY, OPTIMIZE YOUR SERVERS! I just played 3 in a row and my ping was bouncing between 35 and 400....  and constant packet loss, this is UNPLAYABLE.

    I tried to do a server look up instead because ya know, WE WANT A SERVER BROWSER LIKE YOU HAD IN LITERALLY EVERY OTHER BF. But look, another bug, it won't join ANY servers if I do a browse.... so I am stuck just going to the "Conquest" button and then hitting "Play" and waiting for more insane lag.

    Online is wishy washy never stable? why? My OMEN Gaming PC is the top of the line Gaming PC on the market right now! RTX5070 running all the the bells and whistles but still runs up and down. Have to leave come back over and over? Man I am a level 54 and have left and came back over 100 times. Please for the love of all that is holy. Fix your severs.

  • Yeah I mean, I probably spend as much time in queue trying to connect to a STABLE match as I am actually IN a match...
