On top of the ongoing chat bug (for well over 3 weeks now, basically nobody can type/send messages), there’s a new major issue since the last 1–2 days: the servers are almost unplayable.
What’s happening:
This is not limited to one region — it affects both EU and Asian servers, and it happens on community servers as well as official DICE servers.
Not sure if you still need videos, thanks for looking into it.

Hope this gets solved soon. Starts to really annoy... At the start of every game MASSIVE stuttering about 10+ seconds, then the rest of the game is random stuttering.
This won't help.
The Server seems to freeze a second EVERYTIME someone with a triple digit ping joins the server, or any other players ping suddenly shoots up. So basically, they have f.king high ping and we have to suffer for it. Why can't we just ban people with a ping over 90?
Hi everyone,
I’m posting here because I’ve been experiencing severe stuttering and freezing issues in Battlefield V recently, and after extensive testing I’m convinced this is not a local hardware problem.
My setup:
-i9-12900K
-RTX 3090
-32GB RAM
-NVMe SSD
-Windows 11
-270 Hz monitor
Symptoms:
-Massive stutters / short freezes when loading into maps (especially 64-player Conquest)
-Periodic freezes during gameplay (sometimes mid-fight, lasting ~0.5–2 seconds)
-Packet loss / network warning icons appearing randomly
-Issue is significantly worse in full 32v32 servers
-Much smoother in smaller modes (16v16), especially once all players are loaded
-Once a match stabilizes (no new players joining), performance becomes mostly smooth
Important observations:
-Other games (including newer Battlefield titles) run perfectly smooth → no system issue
-Clean reinstall, driver changes, BIOS tweaks, network checks → no real fix
-Ping is stable, no spikes during freezes
-Removing custom configs (user.cfg) improves things slightly but does not solve it
-Issue seems to have started recently (around EA App / anti-cheat updates?)
My conclusion:
This looks like a combination of:
-Shader compilation / asset streaming (worse when new players/assets appear)
-Server-side instability or packet handling issues (packet loss icon + mid-game freezes)
-Possibly interaction with EA AntiCheat on older Frostbite engine
Key point:
This does NOT appear to be a hardware issue. Other players (including console users) are reporting similar behavior, which strongly suggests a game/server-side problem.
Is anyone else experiencing:
-periodic freezes every few seconds at match start?
-stutters when new players or vehicles appear?
-packet loss icons with otherwise stable connection?
Would really appreciate confirmation or any official acknowledgement if this is being looked at.
Thanks.

Bla bla bla its about 3-4 weeks now and nothing happened. Same as the last ban wave where they kept us banned for 12days without a single sorry after that. Disrespectful behavior towards the community.
The problem is getting even worse. I play on European servers, and every single one of them has this issue! EA, why haven't you fixed this yet? It's been almost a month since this started.

stuttering
Today I try play BfV and I cant find server without stuttering, 2-3 days ago I found 2 server where game was ok without lag.
EA is a joke.
