[PC] "Kicked for inactivity" - No solution; Devs need to fix
Adding to the existing posts on "Kicked for Inactivity" bug:
Like many others, I can play anywhere from 1 - 10+ matches then all of a sudden, mid gameplay, everything goes "heavy lag" (not sure how else to describe the visual).
I have a few seconds where I can shoot, interact and move about. But friendly / enemy player models are stuck in place (playing animations). Then I'm disconnected, followed by "Kicked for inactivity" message.
Resulting symptoms after the "bug" / Inactivity message:
1. Trying to join a match after been "kicked for inactivity" results in a "hang". The Sound effect / Menu animation plays (Character moving forward), indicating a match has been found. However, the match never loads in (waited for 5mins+, nothing).
2. Alt-f4'ing from the "kicked for inactivity" message screen and reopening the game immediately after presents the message; "CONNECTION FAILED: Unable to connect to EA Servers..."
I have experimented with the following "fixes" in various combinations.
Still, no luck whatsoever in resolving the issue:
‣ Repairing Battlefield 6 Via Steam
‣ Switched from Ethernet to Wifi (vice versa)
‣ Configuring manual DNS to 1.1.1.1 / 8.8.8.8 (Both PC and Router)
‣ Turning OFF UPnP and manually Port-Forwarding EA services, Port 3659 UDP
‣ Turning ON UPnP and removing Port-Forwarding entry
‣ Restarting the router
‣ Manually adding the game (despite being already there) to BitDefenders Firewall
‣ Opened EA client whilst playing
‣ Remove various services from "Running", and or "Automatic"
‣ Rechecked for any applications that launch at "start up" of PC
‣ Monitored (via ProcessExplorer) and removed "process hungry" background applications
‣ Turned off all background applications where viable
‣ Disabling ShadowPlay outright
‣ Turned off & On Nvidia Frame Gen/DLSS (You never know)
‣ Disabling Steam Overlay while in-game
‣ Disabled VoiceChat
‣ Reinstalling/Checking for new; BIOS update, GPU Drivers, RealTek Audio Drivers etc.
As you can see from this list of attempted fixes, I've tried a few - My theory is that it IS NOT a client issue, but instead EA/Server side. If it is the Anti-Cheat (as theorised), then that is loosing connection to the EA servers?
There is suggestions that CPU bottle-necking is causing this error. For reference, my PC Specs fall well within the devs recommended system requirements. So I don't believe it to be that:
9800x3d (X870E Mobo)
64gb DDR5
RTX 4090
1000w PSU
NVME 2TB x2 drives (Separate for OS / Games & Files).
