[PC] Unplayable 60-75% packet loss on Oceania servers

Since at least Sunday Sep 2nd (but possibly earlier), the Oceania servers have been suffering up to 75% packet loss depending on server load. In evenings packet loss is around 60-75%, during the day 10-25%. The more people playing, the higher the packet loss. The only time I've been able to get 0% packet loss is in the early morning (after 2AM) when there is only one or two games running. This results in failed hit detection and feeling like you're "wading through sand" due to the constant position resets (rubber banding). Battlefield 4 has no problems (0% packet loss), it is exclusively a problem with Battlefield 1.

Every time I ask other players in in-game chat, every response is that the same: Persistent "packet loss" icon in top right and rubber banding.

There have already been numerous reports on various channels without any acknowledgement from EA:

I have already followed the Connection Troubleshooting guide (here and here) and it hasn't made a difference. (Why would it? This is clearly a server issue.)

  • If you're reading because you have the issue use the "me too" button so EA relises how big the problem is
  • Hey @jesseschalken,

    Unfortunately this is an issue at the moment, and it's being looked into.

    Hopefully there will be an update regarding this soon.

    In the meantime, feel free to keep a look out here for more information.

    Thank you 🙂

    only last couple of days this has been resolved,not by there end either or have they responded in anyway.

    And resolved would not be the right word as there is still massive packet loss and speradic bandwidth issues..not as frequent as there was but saying this is fixed is a lie.

    Still almost unplayable packet loss when there's plenty of people playing. Just need some honest feedback really. Like obviously EA know this but if they're not going to fix it they just need to say so... I miss BF1 when the servers were good.

    This is back.  Exactly the same, you fixed nothing.
