Community ManagerHi, @Rynigin
How have things improved for you in the last month? I'm sorry we couldn't get out to your post earlier about this. I want to make sure you're having a great time playing the game.
Well, things still have been freezing for me.
Just yesterday on HVV I was fighting and then everyone was doing the running in the air running motion again.
Then everything caught up to itself and I was surrounded getting hit by 3 players. I got killed.
one time during the same match no one was around me and I tried to move down the hallway and I couldn't move and then I realized it's the lag again.
I was the target. Before the lag was even gone I knew I was being hit. My controller was shaking from hits. It wasn't on the screen yet but I knew.
By the time Real Time came into play, I was dead. I would have to say no to the improvements on the anti-lag fix you did. It didn't work.
I had this issue a few months ago. All I did was just turn off the share data button in the ea-account settings in battlefront 2. (I see your on Xbox so I don't think the option is there). But I would say 25mb/s is the bare minimum to play a game, at least for pc. I don't know how it is for xbox though.
Hope this help.
I know its been a long time since you last wrote here but I did this and nothing changed. Also, what platform were you on?
Community ManagerHave you tried opening up ports listed for Star Wars Battlefront II in your router's admin panel, @Rynigin ?
We have them listed in here: https://help.ea.com/en/help/faq/opening-tcp-or-udp-ports-for-connection-issues/
That should help the flow of data going back and forth from our servers and your network. Hope that helps too!
@Rynigin- what region are you in and what ping site are you using? Check via game options & note the Milliseconds.
I regularly get this message despite having a high end fibre connection etc etc. But the game is still playable
When it first occurred I scoured the FAQs looking for potential solutions to no avail.
The data below shows to problem servers at the time … may be total rubbish now?

The server IP addresses may be recognisable? Apologies if this is useless.
I play GA & HvV on Xbox Australian region with ping site time around 23ms and 50mb/s cable and never have lag problems. Other game modes are not accessible unless I use a different ping site such as US Oregon @190ms or US Virginia @ 243ms.If there is lag via these sites, it is barely noticeable. Anything over these, lag makes the game unplayable. @chuntery I would expect the examples in you post would be also unplayable.
When you are playing, is there a message on the top right of screen such as a small bar graph highlighting "X" number of bars and stating "slow internet connection may effect gameplay"?
Anything under 3 bars & lag/dropouts would be a problem.
@CrimsonLeader88- If it was a game bug then I would have the same problem. I think the original bug was when the selected ping site in options would not be maintained. That was fixed and the "Default" ping added.
What ping site are you using and what region are you & have you tried other ping sites (taking account of time zones)?
