Packet Loss and Latency Issues on Large Scale Battle Maps/Gamemodes

I’ve been experiencing constant packet loss and latency issues mainly when playing the large scale battle maps/game modes but when switching to the smaller scale maps the issue is gone completely. It’s like playing the game in slow motion basically when I just try to deal with it on the bigger maps/modes.

I’m running the game on a gaming laptop with a 13th gen i7, rtx 4070 and 16 GB RAM. When the packet loss/latency issues aren’t happening (rarely) I’m running the game smoothly with around 100+ fps and my connection is completely fine (tested other games and conducted internet speed tests).

I've posted about this on Reddit and have found that many others are experiencing this issue as well even with better PC set ups also. Hopefully this gets fixed, pretty bummed out that I can’t experience the craziness of the large scale battles BF is known for.

EDIT: A work around for this issue for me is the community servers. I’ve played large scale maps and battles with little to no issues. Hopefully this helps you guys out. Still sucks that we can’t play the official servers without having to deal with this.

This is not a AAA exp. You were paid, now provide the service.

2 months and still not solved. What a shame for a game this size.

What's wild is that my 1080ti and Ryzen 7 1700 are keeping up just fine on low settings EXCEPT for Large scale maps. Shoot, even the large scale maps would be mostly okay until I entered the construction site or things got really chaotic. With the most recent "update", however, it's gone to crap. Hit Reg is atrocious, large battles are hardly playable, and even smaller more historically reliable game modes are showing signs of issues. It's a shame.

Hey everyone, sharing a solution that completely fixed the lag and packet loss for me in Battlefield 6.
Do two things:
Flush your DNS cache. Open Command Prompt as Administrator and type:
ipconfig /flushdns
Set compatibility mode to Windows 8 for the game's executable file (bf6.exe). Right-click -> Properties -> Compatibility tab.
For me, the game became perfectly smooth after this. Give it a try, hope it helps you too.

This has been going on since launch. Check this thread: Battlefield 6 connects to Chile servers instead of U.S. East | EA Forums - 12737681

Hundreds of people have submitted connection and game data and all EA can do is point the finger back at us.
