High ping and packet loss after 1000+ hours

Hello,

 

I have over 1000 hours in Battlefield 6 and never had network issues before. Recently I started getting high ping and packet loss in both Multiplayer and RedSec.

The problem appeared suddenly and makes the game almost unplayable.

 What I experience:

High and unstable ping

Packet loss during matches

Lag and delayed hit registration

Happens in all game modes

 What I checked:

My internet is stable and works fine in other games

No packet loss outside Battlefield

Restarted router and PC

Tested wired and wireless connection

No background downloads

 

PC specs:

RTX 5070 2X OC

Ryzen 7 7800X3D

 

Additional info:

Traceroute shows a latency jump from about 16ms to 118ms on a backbone hop (Deutsche Telekom), followed by packet loss towards AWS server 100.24.248.96.

 

This looks like a routing or server issue, not a local problem.

 

Is anyone else experiencing this?

  • Yes, Amis -> A1 -> DTAG -> Amazon. The problem is probably: 

     

    "Deutsche Telekom (DTAG) frequently routes European traffic destined for Amazon services through North America instead of keeping it within Europe, causing increased latency. This behavior is primarily a result of ongoing, unresolved peering disputes." 

     

    "As a dominant ISP, DTAG often demands high, specialized interconnection fees from large content delivery networks (CDNs) and, in some cases, AWS, leading to re-routing to cheaper, non-premium routes that often cross the Atlantic."

    Hit reg feels worse again and damage is inconsistent but would if it is because of server pings and packet loss . Feels like I'm 2 seconds behind anyone i shoot at . The scoreboard says ping is 23most games but i don't believe it at all . 

  • Yep everyone pretty much is its horrible I can barely kill anyone cause of it my ping stays in the mid 30s but the net code and packet loss symbols show up everything I try to have a good fight with someone over a point
