Battlefront 2 server lag (even is single player)

Battlefront 2 servers need urgent checkup.

I play on PC and the game has been running fine on ULTRA settings for months already but now I'm having random, intense lags.

Lagging starts a minute into a match and gets so bad the game kicks me from the match and I'm back in the menu.

This has happened now for around the tenth time between yesterday and today. The issue started about a day ago.

Why is this problem serious?

  • THE SAME LAGGING HAPPENS IN SINGLE PLAYER MODES.
  • I asked the lobby in HVV and 4 people already confirmed having the same experience, so this is most likely a wider, server side problem.
  • Matches cannot be properly finished, as people just leave or are set back to the main menu out of their control.

What I have already done to troubleshoot:

  • cleared EA app chache
  • repaired BF2 in the app
  • checked region settings. Mine was set to default (closest), I set it to Germany (equally close) but that didn't help (!)
  • restarted PC multiple times
  • checked internet connection (fine outside of game) (!)
  • set BF2 as a high priority in task manager
  • made sure no other program runs in the backgound
  • installed anti cheat mod that protects against screenshot spammers (that can cause lag too apparently), I'm desperate at this point...

Ea, please check your servers. The game is unstable right now, barely playable at all. Thank you in advance.

  • I've had this exact issue almost for a month now! There are only few times I receive no lag, but most of the time it's around. All the game modes feel unplayable because of this. I've tried reinstalling the game and for a moment it worked, but after the second time running the game I started receiving lag again. I honestly don't know what to do anymore. I have tried everything to fix it and nothing helps so it has to be a server issue. My internet connection works completely fine on other games.

    I don't really have high hopes for it getting fixed anytime soon (because it's EA) unless a lot more people will make reports about this maybe then they'll look into it.

  • I'm sorry you have the same issue. It's a really frustrating situation. In the meantime if you have friends who also play BF2 perhaps you could direct them here to endorse this report so it can actually be seen by EA. I will try and ask people in the game and in my friend group to do so. let us hope it's going to be resolved. May the Force be with you always.
