BF4 Sudden high ping problem on all my normally good servers. No PC changes.

Just about 2 weeks ago i suddenly had my ping jump from a normal below 100 to 800+. No matter what servers in my favorites list i try, the result is always the same. Time of day doesn't matter and Windstream came out and tested my line. No packet loss and a ping of like 30. Also use a ping test website someone had recommended to someone else and it gives me great ping. Any ideas? Nobody seems to have answered this in other forum responses. Someone said to make sure browser .exe's weren't running in the Task Manager but my BF4 runs in Chrome! I get like 3 instances of chrome.exe running but they all seem to be doing different aspects of Chrome.

  • Well... Thank you so much! I have lost this game for months and I have finally come back to it but it didn't work. Once I tried you solutions again I FINALLY HAVE MY *TY AUSTRALIAN PING BACK! I can live with 200-300 not 1200-2000.

    I got the same issue here. My minimum ping went from ~20 ms to more than 120 ms for no reason.
    When I TRACERT easo.ea.com I get at least 180 ms.

    Enable/disabling UPnP doesn't do anything

    Resetting my Wi-Fi settings neither

    Forwarding specific ports neither

    What am I supposed to do now ?

    EDIT : using an OpenVPN client seems to fix the issue. (note that I never had this kind of issue while playing BF1 or BFV)

    Same issue for me on PS4. In game it only seems to affect my connection to US-W servers in BF4 (but not BF1). Will try to post my traceroute tomorrow. So frustrating that they refuse to even acknowledge this issue.

    Hey guys, 

    This is a super old thread that hasn't been touched in quite a while, so I've gone ahead and locked it. 

    If you're having trouble with a similar issue please create a new thread, and we can take a look. Thanks!
