i just went though a complete fresh w10 install, a complete drive wipe. after ill test this, then ill try the tether with a phone. Ill have to look up how to do that though. Im not messing with any of the settings in windows except the obvious things it wont hurt. thank you for the help, really i hope EA just fixes the issue. Im not the only one facing disconnects, its only BF1 for what ever reason. Battlefront and BF3 and 4 run fine. However this issue has been discussed sense OCT on serveral forums with several threads. Only the community has been helping others out. EA has dropped the ball with it.
