@EA_Aljo
Thanks again for looking into it. Just to be clear, I'm not disconnecting, just awful lag spikes several times per match. All other multiplayer games are fine (Overwatch, Valorant, Warzone etc etc)
Results do look more normal this time. I shall try playing another match now and keep you posted. (EDIT- played half a match with no issues then sadly rubberbanding all over the place again).
TLDR -Windows 10 Anti-malware might be causing disconnects. I was following the recommend network resets via command line and other things in the past. The latest one only stopped after I disabled some 'protection' but that was alast resort after following all other recommendations.
I have a pretty solid connection considering its DSL over phone line its not much slower than when I was paying for cable. My system is built on older hardware and even small fluctuations in system resources can be noticable. But overall for the past year its been stable but only with wragling after major windows 10 updates. The last Windows10 rollout was a few weeks ago but it was not obvious whether the two were related. It took a while but I finally traced down the app which seemed to proc simultaneously with disconnects. It turns out it was a windows system call and it may have been triggered by the anti-malware. Instead oof rolling back any features I just disabled some of the more advanced protections that might have been associated but I am not sure. However, the problem has not returned yet and its been a few days.
Everything would be fine and then I would start getting disconnected every few minutes so it was unplayable. If it comes back Ill ppost more details, Mostly adding this for notes and comparison experiences.
@lightz0ut Any chance you can remember exactly which windows processes you killed? I don't use windows defender but perhaps there's more windows security features running in the background.
The system is super stable in other applications/games. Only issue is with Battlefield 5.
(Again, not getting disconnected like OP, just bad rubberbanding from high ping spikes every game. I can get through maybe half a game with it playing perfectly but then massive lag spikes which last perhaps a minute or so. Definately something up).
Hopefully @EA_Aljo can come up with a few more things to try. What I have managed to play I've really enjoyed.
Thanks for the input!
@EA_Aljo Thanks again for responding.
I did try switching to the google DNS on first seeing that guide. No luck sadly.
I think my second test results maybe show the connection in it's stable state. Just every 5 minutes it will spike to the high levels shown in the first results. Network monitoring in-game shows a similar pattern/ping.
Struggling to think of what else to try! I don't think the closest servers being in Germany helps.
Community ManagerHi again. I'm noticing now with your most recent test that the second hop is quite high. This is the node in your neighborhood. It really shouldn't be at 89. It should be closer to the teens. It would really help to see a test when you're experiencing a spike, but obviously, that's going to be hard to get. Does your router support QoS (Quality of Service)? If so, make sure it's enabled. Also, there are some other troubleshooting steps here. Let me know if any of those help. Thanks!
