I can't play conquest because of the lag

I have done so much but I just cannot play this game right now. Anytime I try playing a bigger mode like conquest, and I get into heated action, the ping goes crazy. Packet loss skyrockets. Heck, the animations like reloads start literally going into slow-motion. Everyone starts rubber-banding. And my internet is fine, and my computer can and should be able to handle the game. I have an 11th gen i9 and RTX 4070, with 32 gigs of ddr4. I am running the game on an SSD. My location shouldn't be an issue. For past battlefield games, it has been completely fine. I live in North Dakota in the US which isn't the problem because for battlefield 1, V, and 4 it has been fine. I just don't know what to do. I can get video proof if need be.

  • Hello, sorry to hear you're dealing with lag issues.

    First, please take a look at our general troubleshooting guide.

    If you've already gone through those steps, I'd like to ask whether you've noticed anything unusual about your CPU usage while the issue is occurring.

    I'd also like to share a few temporary workarounds that may help improve performance:

    1. Close unnecessary background applications before launching the game
    2. Uninstall the HD Texture Packs

    If you're on Steam, open your game library and locate Battlefield 6

    Right-click the game and select Properties

    Go to the DLC tab and uncheck the following items:

    • Single Player HD Textures
    • HD Textures
    • Combined Multiplayer & Single Player HD Textures
    • Multiplayer HD Textures
    • Single Player (if you don't plan to play the campaign for now)
    • REDSEC HD Textures

    3. Limit your frame rate

    4. Disable the Windows Game Bar (Win + G / GameBar.exe)

    5. Disable Core Isolation by going to Windows Security → Device Security

    These aren't guaranteed fixes, but some players have reported improvements after trying them.
