Spawning late after everyone else

A problem started for me today in that when I finish a game and am ready to start the next one, I spawn in a good 5-10  seconds  else after everyone else and the countdown. I'm quite a good pilot so I like to go for a plane but carnt. I carnt get no vehicles or cavalry because they are all setting off from the spawn when my screen loads in. It's only started happening today. I carnt even get any points for capping the closest flag as it is already captured by the time I get there. It's quite annoying. Is anyone else having this problem. I'm on Xbox and mostly play German servers and east coast USA. All my team already moving across the map when I'm able to join and spawn really dampens the experience. Which is a shame as I grind this game out every day for multiple hours. Don't know if it's dice/ea messing around again or it's just connection issues or something

    Sorry to hear about this.

    Have you tried these Connection Steps just in case?

    https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/console/connection-troubleshooting-advanced-xbox/

    I would also recommend trying to clear your MAC Address, and do a hard reset on your Console.

    Go to Settings, Network, Advanced Settings, Alternate MAC Address, and Clear. Then fully turn off your Console for 30 seconds or so, and turn it back on.

    Let us know if you see any progress.

    Thanks 🙂

    Thanks for the reply. I've tried all these steps. And still does it. About 1 match out of 20 is normal spawn. I don't know why it started out of nowhere a few days ago. It happened one game then just carried on doing it. I just spawned In a game then from the loading screen of previous round and the clock said 1:03 so I missed over a minute. It's annoying because I miss planes (as I'm a good pilot) and miss the points capping first flag (even second) luckily I'm good at the game and still finish top or top 3. It's more the principle that I'm having to miss the first minute or so of the game. Do you think uninstalling and reinstalling will help. Thanks

    Hey @BadWellzy89

    Usually long loading times is a connection issue, but you said those steps didn't help.

    If you'd like, you can try uninstalling/reinstalling, but I'm not quite sure if that would help the situation. It doesn't hurt anything to try though, but that's up to you.

    I managed to fix it (touch wood) I hard reset and cleared cache and that blue ray bit when you clear that. Then I altered my DNS actually in my router and on my Xbox to the cloudfare one as I'm told that's the best free one. Then put my Xbox on my WIFI. Before I had it on BT Broadband Extender 600 Kit Adapter - 600 Mbps. My router into one and the other in my bedroom plugged into my Xbox. And it cut my ping in half straight away. Back to normal 25ms. Do you know how to get my Xbox back on 3074 port selection as that's completely gone now. It comes back for 2 seconds if I choose manual then automatic in the port selection bit then changes to 5000 odd.

    I’m on a hard wired connection on a high end PC and I have this exact same issue. I often join games several seconds after everybody else. Any ideas?
