Freeze then Disconnect to Menu

I am struggling to play BFV without getting disconnected from servers at random times. The game will be playing fine then all of a suidden it will freeze and either recover after 5 seconds or so or more often than not i will get disconnected from the server and have to find another game again.

Sometimes i can get through a few matches sometimes its a few minutes into a match, there does not seem to be a pattern to it. When it does recover there is no latancy catchup, its almost as if everyone on the server had a freeze. 

It is making the game almost unplayable because i am getting sick of getting pulled out of a match all the time and im fairly certain this is not a problem my side, unless anyone can shed any light on what might be my issue?

  • @Foley8910 I had the same problem, and it looks like I managed to solve it.

    1. Be sure to run both Origin and BFV as Administrator.
    2. Do a clean boot. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/929135/how-to-perform-a-clean-boot-in-windows

    I left the clean boot settings as it is for now, since I only had some unnecessary programs running (and I'm too lazy to test it tbh), but if you want to eliminate that specific program what's messing with your game, you have to experiment with those stuffs one-by-one. It's tedious as hell.

    With these steps, I've just finished a 2,5 hour long session, and I had no problem with the game.

    Please tell me if it worked for you!

    Cheers!

  • @Foley89103 times tonight i have tried to play matches and 3 times i have been disconnected mid game. No other games have this problem, i can play battlefield 3/4/1 no issue among other games. From searching this forum and playing in groups with others its clear im not the only person having this problem and it often results in mass disconnects. The game is broken...

    BFV has just been a disaster from the start and now it is at the point where i want to play it because its finally getting decent but can't from getting ripped out mid game. What a shame... but its just not possible to play a game like this not knowing when it will rip you out of a match.

  • @Foley8910 Yeah I have the same issue. I recall having that sometimes a few months back. Then it started to occur two weeks ago, where I would almost always recover after the freeze and since yesterday I have that in most rounds and get disconnected after the 20s freeze. I have no idea what this is, either.
  • @Foley8910 I have the same problem. It's very frustrating and it seems like a lot of people encountered that problem. Perhaps there's a problem with the servers, I have yet to find a solution for it.
    If an EA staff reads this thread, please help us.

  • Having the same exact issue. I've never had any real performance problems until this week. The game is constantly lagging and getting me killed, and it will randomly freeze and boot me from the game. I’ll get the message “This server is no longer available” blah blah blah. It has happened to me 4 times today, the last two being in a row before I finally gave up and shut my Xbox off. The worst part is it doesn’t save your stats, I literally played an entire game on defense and we were down to the last 40 tickets and I had racked up 15,000 XP and this happened. The game is literally unplayable.
