Latency is a joke

In the evenings this game is unplayable. The latency is crazy. I don't know what's going on or if many players from europe are redirected to other servers. I can have latency from 60-120 and my netowork performance bar are showing constantly due to problems. 

1000 mbit connection at home and my ISP is not the issue here.

    It’s not my ISP. Been doing all kind of tests, cannot find any issues.

    All other games works flawless. CS2 etc. It’s just BF6 that has this latency issue.

    In CS I usually have latency around 2-4 ms. If I join servers in Europe I get around 10-20 ms.

    In BF I get 40-120 ms with warnings about packetloss in the game.

     

     

  • I have 38 to 40ms Ping to the servers. But the yellow circle with the x is on my screen almost all the time top left. The servers are bad. Very bad.

  • What you're describing is a symptom of cable internet, and likely not of the servers. What I'm saying is not guaranteed, but this is likely the case. And unfortunately bandwidth sharing (and associated packet reordering/jitter) is a feature of the DOCSIS standards, so while your ISP can choose to add more bandwidth to your area, they are not required to for cable internet to still "work."

    You should try running some speed tests and/or bufferbloat tests around the time you see issues, and show them to your ISP. Whether or not they can actually fix them is a different matter.

    Pc. Has nothing to do with my hardware or network. This is only happening in the evenings for me. Either the servers has to big load due to many players or we are transfered to servers running in another continent.

    Can be shot through walls, jumping around, lag spikes etc. Can see in my network graph in the game that PL jumps up and down from time to time.

    Couldn’t even play tonight. Disadvantage with high latency makes the game unplayable.

  • I have also crazy latencies there in game! Although my networks palys nicely. Top left corner show very often the yellow circle with cross on it.
