Since yesterday I have been trying to understand why my game is so laggy due to high latency and packet loss. I had absolutely no problem during open BETA, game ran flawlessly. Now I cant engage any close quarter combat/map bcs it's literally unplayable, people are teleporting all around me, i cant move around or aim smoothly, everythingfeels like ♥♥♥♥. I read that more people are facing the same problem so if anyone has found out what's wrong pls let me know. Thanks in advance!RTX 4060Intel Core i5-11400F 2.6GHz

Having the same issue but for me it’s only on the large maps/game modes! Only thing I can play are the CQB maps and modes, runs smoothly with little to no issues. Running a 13th gen i7 with a 4070

So I've spent majority of the day drilling through the walls of my house routing a hard-line ethernet cable from my loft to my router to fix what I thought was packet loss across my mesh system.This clearly wasn't the case, extremely high packet loss and rubber banding. I ran a trace through CMD prompt on windows and it seems we're being routed through US servers. Usually Virginia based. I've installed 'NoPing' and forced a route to London or Frankfurt servers and STILL my connection is being rerouted to US servers. Can I get a response from EA! C'mon man. I've never bought a game at launch, simply because I can't really afford too, but this launch landed on my birthday week so I treated myself as I was full of anticipation since the Beta. As it stands I spent £60 on a basic Main menu UI 🤦

Yeah — that’s a frustrating situation, especially since it worked perfectly during the open beta. Based on what you’re describing — teleporting players, rubberbanding, delayed movement/aiming, and high latency/packet loss — the issue sounds network-related rather than GPU/CPU performance. Let’s go through the most likely causes and fixes step-by-step:🔍 1. Confirm it’s not your connectionEven good hardware can’t overcome network instability.Test ping & packet lossOpen Command Prompt and run:ping 8.8.8.8 -n 50Then run:tracert ea.comIf you see timeouts or high spikes, there’s packet loss between you and the EA/Battlefield servers.Run a speed test (speedtest.net).Look for consistent upload/download and ping under ~50 ms.Try a wired connection (Ethernet) if you’re on Wi-Fi — Wi-Fi interference often causes packet loss in games.🌐 2. Check Battlefield 6 server locationSometimes the full release connects you to different data centres than the open beta did.In Battlefield 6, go to Settings → Network Graph (if available) or enable it via console/launch parameters:-networkGraph 1Check your latency (should be under ~60 ms).If you’re being connected to a far-away region (like Asia/US servers instead of Australia), that’s likely the cause.➡️ Workaround: use a VPN set to Sydney/Melbourne or try the in-game server browser (if it exists) to force AU servers.⚙️ 3. Background network trafficEnsure no one else on your network is:Streaming 4K video,Downloading large updates,Using cloud backup (OneDrive, Steam, Windows Update).You can check with Resource Monitor → Network tab to see what’s using your connection.🧩 4. Game-specific or server-side issuesSince you mentioned others are reporting the same symptoms — this might be on EA’s side.Check @BattlefieldComm on X/Twitter or EA Help forums for outage or latency reports.During open beta, EA often used different test servers — now you’re likely on production servers with regional load balancing issues.💻 5. System and driver checksEven though this doesn’t sound like a performance issue, still good to confirm:Update to the latest NVIDIA driver (clean install using DDU if needed).Ensure Windows Update and network drivers are current.Disable NVIDIA Reflex Low Latency Mode temporarily — sometimes it makes things worse under high packet loss.🧠 6. Extra troubleshootingTry flushing DNS cache:ipconfig /flushdnsReset your network adapter:netsh winsock resetReboot your router/modem afterward.If you’d like, I can help you pinpoint the exact issue — just tell me:Your average latency and packet loss % (from the in-game graph or ping test),Your ISP and region (e.g. Melbourne, Sydney, etc.),Whether you’re on Wi-Fi or Ethernet.Once I have that, I can tell you if the issue is likely your end or EA’s servers.

Nice informative reply! I did everything you mentioned and more yesterday. Even traced a hard-line into my wall and down the outside of my house to ensure my mesh system wasn't losing packets.I've submitted a ticket to EA breaking down everything I found. Along with screenshots.It's a bad routing issue on EA's side. Consistent 9ms ping to googles 8.8.8.8. when pinging EA 10-20ms consistent until the handover from zayo to EA. Sometimes I would make initial contact with Either London LHR or Frankfurt initially, but then would be instantly rerouted across the Atlantic the US VA. Most of the time EA would just route me straight to US VA without the initial EU contact. I've exhausted everything I can do on my end. It's not over to EA to sort this calamity out

I have oneSorry its a bit bright because of HDR :DLat is 18ms but TN(?) is 374ms

I have the same problem. Had no issues during the beta but experiencing super high latency and packet loss. I have 1gb internet and have no issues with that in any other game. Get disconnected after about 10 min in a match, lowkey unplayable. I have an i7 and 4050 with 32gb of RAM, running on low settings.

I have the same problem with my i7 12700k and an RTX 5070Ti. I had no problems during Beta and now it can't reach stable 60FPS. I tried changing all kinds of graphic settings, but it still wouldn't run without latency and package losses. I turned on FrameGen 2x and that seems to take of load from my CPU and the game runs more stable now. But still not smooth...
