Slow Internet Connection. This Might Affect Your Gameplay Over & Over Again

I have had this issue for as long as I've had the game. I got the game when it first came out. I paid for the Ultimate version for it. For some time I thought it was me. I worked with my ISP and now after months, I have 5G running through my house. I fixed my Xbox One so that I have over 25 download and over 4 upload. My NAT is Open. All of my other 133 games work fine online and off. So by process of elimination if I did all I could on my end and it's not me or any of my other Xbox games with issues then it has to be the game.

I have been trying to play with this lag thing forever now. I and others will see some people running in place as if they are on ice. We would walk around them. They soon disappear or are killed where they are stuck running in place. I have been caught up in this. I have been killed many, many, many times by this weird lag. Yesterday I was stuck in the stupid lad. It was the worst I have ever been in. I couldn't move anywhere. It was like being under Rey's spell constantly. Every time I tried to move I would move a little or a lot in the opposite direction. I had to go slow to move in the right direction I wanted to go. Of course, going slow means I got killed a lot. I was getting shot and I couldn't duck. I couldn't move to get out of the way. If anything I ended up moving closer to the shooter then dying. You know with all of this going on a lot of words came out of my mouth. Words that would make the military blush. I was that mad. I then had a thought. When I play an Arcade Scenario and then played any other type of game like HVV I won't see any data after the match at all. Everything will say 0. It will say no data available. (On Xbox) But if I exit the game and then quit the game and then relaunch it I will see data and information on HVV and GA and any other game mode. So I tried this technique to see if it would work for the lag and it did to a point. I wasn't out of control anymore. I could move my character the way I wanted to. But I still kept getting the warning "Slow Internet Connection, This Might Affect Your Gameplay. It just keeps flashing or it stays on non-stop. Yes, I saw people running in place and people disappearing but at least I could move again.  Can You please fix this game lag issue? It's not my Internet, It's not my Xbox either.

I want to be able to move as a group at the beginning of a match not at the beginning people disappear or can't move or are stuck running in place. It's stupid. People have left many, many matches because they were frustrated which leaves my team short-handed. Please fix the issue. Thank You.

    I have been getting the same issue for the past day:

    Seems to be either high ping on comcast or the ea servers.

  • @ggibb65  Normally it will crash out of the round and go to the game main menu screen. I'm speculating that the interruption is quickly recovered but not sufficiently to stay in the game round.  I again stress this doesn't happen very often. The * flahing "your connection may affect gameplay" does happen often.

    Its interesting to see that others have seen similar "connection" issues. I suspect ...stress suspect ... that potentially the Root Cause is with the servers that EA buffers the incoming user prior to the actual game server. These servers act as EAs first line of protection/defence. Possibly they struggle occasionally and this would be different for different regions.

    As regards my gameplay … sadly I can only describe myself at best as average. Have I ever topped the leader board? - yes. Have I ever played a whole game and ended up bottom? - yes. Am I levelled up troopers at 70 and starfighters at 40 - you bet I am!

    I readily admit to struggling when competing with those players who are one shot wonders or manage to hit their target with a lowly sidearm/shotgun at a distance that my best sniper rifle isn't accurate. But hey that the nature of the game and we compensate. 🙂

  • @ggibb65 Your right, I remember now about the ping site. Sorry, I don't keep the best track. I use the europe ping site and I'm in the UK, I haven't tried other ping sites due to them usually looking worse. I'm never usually below three bars but there's still moments where I'm stuck standing still.

    @chuntery  - I'm with you - It's tough being an average player so when we do well and have one of those good games, you feel great but when you have the opposite you can only laugh - Read my posts on this link - https://answers.ea.com/t5/Game-Information/Community-Calendar-December/m-p/7277889/highlight/true#M7903 - they really tell you how good a player I am.
    I forgot to mention, there are people playing with modded controllers that take some of the skill out of the game and don't forget the hackers that appear every now & again.
    Also, I too get the occasional dropout but usually on heavy traffic times (Sunday afternoon in Aust mostly). Guess all the kids are getting their game time.
    @CrimsonLeader88 
    Re: slow internet & lag - I have seen & replied to many posts on this forum referring to problems on the UK ping site. Maybe heavy traffic at certain times could be a cause!! It's hard to find an answer due to varied platforms and a lot of different PC setups. Everyone tends to blame the EA servers (they might be right) but if they were at fault, wouldn't everyone have the same problem, not just a few in particular regions? I spent a lot of time on researching this problem and still no permanent fix comes to light. Sometimes even though all looks right, a hard reset of your console or router fixes the problem. I am still looking for an answer.

    The game is utterly unplayable for me. I play on EU servers as I’m from South Africa and the 

    game is dead here. The problem is that my character would freeze, but everything else is still moving as per usual and I can move my camera around with the mouse. After a few seconds my character moves, as if he were standing in place the whole time. Or I die while I can’t move and it does it again when I spawn in. Happens ever since launch but not beta. 

  • 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?

  • I'm closing this thread to stop it from being necroed.

    If you have any issues with SWBF2, please make a new topic about your problems and what kind of steps you have tried to solve them.
