Currently less servers available then usual, like Breakthrough got 4 games with 4 in queue waiting.
There is also more lagg then before. The icon is now full match at the right.
But it's playable.

@iigloo Yes I'm bit disappointed. Wondering for what the maintenance was, for me as player it broke more then that we benefit from it.

So why the lack of response from EA regarding this issue?
We are many who are affected with the problems that occure after the maintenence.
When the round ends and start i get flashing red server symbol followed by packetloss and ping symbol while loading the new map. When the round starts packetloss warning is flashing red for some min and the stutter, lag and rubberbanding is horrible.
I have requested an answer via forum and pm. No respons from EA or any of the Community Managers about the issue.
The support in India does not understand my issue and have zero knowledge regarding the game it self and how a pc works. They force you through some articles they get on their screen that pops up when they type "connectivity issue" etc.
The support says "there is no such issue you are describing and the game has no other report about any issues at the moment. Please follow the steps im telling you to repair your PC's connection".
My PC is working flawless. Im getting tierd, angry and frustrated and im not alone.
Is it so hard to have an constructive discussion with paying customers to solve a common issue?

@iigloo Currently not tracking any issues with our servers. If you haven't I recommend taking a look on our connective guide. Also if you are getting packed loss icon in the game it means that you are losing data towards the server not the server that's losing data.

There is only one icon for server issues and that is the performance of the server. The rest are connections to the servers.

@flyinghorse101

You are currently the only one I have seen having this issues on multiplayer servers for BFV. (Co-op is different)

What connection and isp do you have?

@EA_Atic I have a cable (coax) 250 MBIT connection, ping normally around 19-20ms in BFV . Currently on a Dutch provider : Ziggo
This week no cannot fetch messages, so it's not every day.
But it's like deadbug returned more often, Issue with bandages / ammo patches , everything get stuck, use mouse scroll to weapon inventory then it's solved. And in September first patch was really worse causing latency and lagg. Meanwhile I changed graphical card. -
This brought improvement. But don't forget with the older card a 1080TI I played for more then a year. And noticed differences after last maintenance.

@EA_Atic Hi and thanks for the answer!

The problems only occure in BFV and started after the "Server Maintenance. I am not alone because there are several post in this forum and BFV forum. Some of my buddies i play with have the same issue and it occure at the same time for us when we play even though we are at different locations with different PC´s and connections.
So i find it rather strange when you say that there is no issue regarding this problem in the community,

When the server round ends and start i get a severe icon for server performance followed with a severe icon for Latency Variation and Packet Loss.
This always happen when the round ends and the server starts to load a new map. Visual issues are lag, rubberbanding, stuttering etc.

I have fiber with 250 Mbit down and 100 Mbit up at 3ms stable connection even when i get problems in BFV. I tab out to test my connection when i get the symbols ingame.

I have tested my hardware and software outside BFV and it works the way it suppose to.

I have called your support in India and they couldn´t help me because we did the "connectivity guide" and no fault occure (I did it because they require it, not because i needed it).

So what is the next step?
