Hey @CaptainCheetah,Welcome. It's unfortunate to hear that you're having connection issues and that you're getting such a high ping.Playing with VPN enabled can indeed increase your latency and packet loss quite a bit, even if it worked okay for one time, it does not have to mean it also works okay every time you try it.We have basic and advanced troubleshooting steps on EA Help to help you with your connection.

@CaptainCheetah so it's the internet company.
i was having the same issue sometimes and i contact internet company and contacted EA help both of them told me it's not our issue but in the end it was the internet company issue.
call them and tell them that your bing used to be low and now very high and you need urgent fix.
hope that works with you. good luck

not sure if this is correct, because I have 31ms to ping google.com and the bf1 servers clain to be 64 or 93 ms ping. Even though, when I join a server, it's always pingtimes like 160-230 m.
That cannot be correct. I see other players at lower ping times.

also this is not the case in BFV, ping times there are low.
In BF1 I've seen looping servers always resetting the game when some have joined and want to play- bang reset - new game. And quick match brought me there again and again reliably.
The BF1 servers seem strange. The number of official servers is too low. On customized servers I often get kicked for my high rank or kd.

Between February 15-16, in-game lag times are far from normal. My normal ping values are 48-56. It's between 150-400 now. When I contacted my internet provider, they did not encounter any problems. Is there a solution I can implement? "There is a problem with your account" I also get such an issue.

Today on 18 March 2023, Saturday, same thing. From South-Africa, so ping to European servers (only servers that we can still kinda play on) is usually 150-160ish. Today I'm hitting 300? But, funny thing, ping to other countries is still the same? It is NOT my ISP. And neither Downdetector nor Speedtest shows abnormalities.

It's EA. EA did something with their servers. Their servers are running like crap. I've been experiencing this ping issue for the past year. Never had a problem before. I've tested on two different ISPs and still having these ping issues. For me, it started a few months after Battlefield 2042 released. Leads me to think that they're running BF1 on low end servers or something. I don't know.
