The lag is most likely because you are being routed to the California IP of 159.153.38.49. Open the game, sit in the main menu, open Windows Resource Monitor, go to the Network tab, select "starwarsbattlefrontii.exe" in the "Processes with Network Activity" section, then under "TCP Connections" the top item in the list will show what IP you are connected to under "Remote Address". If you are connecting to that IP, and your game is set to a server somewhere not in Calif, that is why you are lagging.
have no issues with any other game. Only this one. Why? because I am being sent to an IP in CALIFORNIA at a massive 200 - 9000ms, instead of the selected IP in OHIO at a minimum of 60ms!
I'm not the only one. Many others have checked and confirmed this.
No amount of loot box, pay to win, bug, or balance fixes is going to change the fact that this game is gong to continue down hill until this problem is taken care of.
