Getting lag spikes all the time

Hi obogo!

At first, download and install the latest version of Origin at www.origin.com/download (and make sure you have your Origin account ready as well).
If that doesn’t helped, close the origin client and go directly to you origin folder  C:\Program Files\Origin Games. Run the origin.exe in this folder with a rightclick -> run as administrator. 

Add BF3 and Origin to the exception list of your antivirus/firewall software. Launch a match with disabled software protection, just to verify if your software is blocking your application even while disabled (some programs running still from the background).

This worked out in the most cases, if not, try to deactivate your firewall/antivirus software and/or check the online ports of your connection:

TCP: 80, 443, 9988, 20000-20100, 22990, 17502, 42127
UDP: 3659, 14000-14016, 22990-23006, 25200-25300
For specific instructions on how to open your ports, please visit http://www.portforward.com/ or contact your router manufacturer.

Please let us now, if this problem after this workaround still exist.

Cheers
Basti

Im using Windows 7, plus origin.exe is not in Origin games but in the Origin folder alone. 

I did everything you said I even forwarded the ports, the lag is just the same, but seems to start after one game and doesn't go away when I change servers

some people are having this stuttering performance problem.  but ea / dice still hasn't acknowledged it...

Lag spikes affecting every origin online game titan fall and BF4 for me. i'm going to return titan fall if this isn't going to get fixed or is a common problem. i bought the game to play it not have to deal with lag issues. its nothing to do with the current version (because i have it) of the game and or origin. its just EA's services have been pretty **bleep** lately and its a big dissapointment the lack of care you guys give.

your suggestions are terrible just tried everything you said before i posted and nothing works. instead of insisting its your customers fault maybe you should just fix it.

in my experience, these can also cause stuttering or laggy gameplay...

1) an overheating CPU or GPU due to too much dust buildup.  trying using compressed air to dust off your heatsinks.

2) lack of RAM.  BF3 plays fine with 4GB RAM.  but some newer games, like BF4, need 8GB RAM to avoid stuttering.  [note that to use more than 4GB RAM, you will need a 64 bit Windows.]
