Re: Windows 10 high ping

I can confirm that i have the same problem on Windows 10. It didn't happen before on Windows 8.1 nor Windows 7. I have the latest drivers, as well as up to date punkbuster. The problem doesn't occur on other PB games as for example Red Orchestra 2.

    Switching back to Windows 8.1 does fix the problem, but I want to stay at Windows 10 ☹️

  • Wait i had just found the solution on other forum. You must run the game as administrator. Check compatibility option for Battlefield 4 shortcut and select run as administrator, then click ok. It solved the problem for me.

    I tried to change the compability and run the game as administrator but I'm still getting ping spikes.... This is getting annoying. Some say that I have to buy a new Network Card

    So, this is a hard issue to diagnose. If this is a general issue you should probably try and provide as much information as possible to see if we can find a common reason for this. I can think of this information:
     
    • How did you install Windows 10, upgrade with programs, clean upgrade or clean install?
    • What motherboard do you have and what network card does it have or do you use an external network card? Which chipset does your network card utilize?
    • How did you install Battlefield on Win 10? Was it already installed because you upgraded or did you install from backup or did you download and install the game fresh?
    • How fast is your internet normally? (speedtest.net link might be nice)
    • Link to image of a pingspike using commands NetworkPerfOverlay.Enable 1 and NetworkPerfOverlay.DrawGraph 1 in BF4
    • What have you tried to fix this?
    • What antivirus and other programs are running in the background?
  • Hi, thanks for you reply. I'm calling my ISP tomorrow to say that my download speed has dropped really bad since I bought their new router for improvement.... I will keep you guys updated. It seems that I'm having ping issues on my PS4 too. I'm definetly going to tell my ISP

    My internet is fine in all other games. BF4 gives me a great ping in the browser, but a 999 ping in game.
    I am also sporting windows 10 with all the latest drivers installed...

    With Battlefield 4 CTE it won't even let me connect.
    My speedtest result.
