FPS drops and persistent desync symbol after several matches

I’ve been having a consistent issue with performance and desync in the full release of Battlefield 6. During the first few matches, the game runs smoothly at around 90–100 FPS on High settings, but after playing for a while, FPS becomes unstable and can drop to 60 or below. I also get the circular desync icon with an X on it for the entire match, even though my connection is stable and my ping is low. If I restart the game, performance goes back to normal for a few rounds and then degrades again. Lowering settings to Medium improves stability, but visually the game feels less smooth, even when FPS is high.

What I’ve tried:

Updated drivers, disabled FG and DLSS, lowered graphics settings, checked for overheating or CPU throttling (temps are fine) and verified files.

    Hi. I also had some issues yesterday with that desync icon, for 2-3 games in a row it kept popping up even tho the connection was good and stable, but performance was still ok, no fps drops. 

    And 2 times in other games where that icon didn't even showed up i had a bad delay where i shot a dude , he died and after 2-3 sec i was moved back and actually he killed me... i checked the connection and again everything was fine, no lag,no latency, no packet losses, that was very strange.

    It's a hidden metric called Time Nudge. Lot's of people have this problem, no one knows how to fix it or what it is. If you want to see what your TN is, enable the network graph stats.
