For some odd reason, and it seems like it started after Jakku-- I am having periodic freezing issues.At first I though it was an EA server issue, but the same thing happens in single player battles.What happens is on average of once a minute or so, the game will completely freeze up for between 0.5 and as long as 3-4 seconds, and then resume as normal.I am running Windows 10 64-bit.980 tii5 3570k16GB RAMThe game is installed on my SSD, and I have tried running at 2560x1440, 1440p and 3200x1800 upscaled.I have also tried multiple Nvidia drivers 359.06, 359.00 and 358.91. Nothing seems to work, and I do not see anything like this occur in any other games.My hardware hasn't changed since or before Jakku, and the game did not seem to do this before this DLC.

@SquireEwok Hey, do you monitor temperatures? Can you see if things are spiking up before the freezes? Your machine should be able to handle everything turned up pretty high, but can you try lowering the settings and see if that has any effect?Also, can you try restarting with a Clean Boot and see if that has any effect. https://help.ea.com/tr/article/how-to-clean-boot-your-pc/Thanks.

Do you overclock your graphics card? If yes, try to run the game without overclocking and see if it works without freezing.

I monitor with MSI Afterburner. Temperatures stay well within tolerance levels-- around 60-65 degrees.As I haven't changed anything with my hardware, and as other games don't have issues-- I can only conclude that there is some change perhaps in the patch that came with Jakku DLC, which has caused a conflict-- as I believe I also said I have tried rolling back to a driver that I know I was using previously without issue.There doesn't seem to be any correlation between a lot going on onscreen, so it's not a case of video memory or loading/streaming stuttering, they are random freezes.The VRAM usage always stays at about 5.1GB, and my card is a 6GB solution.I'd like to thank you for the quick response.

As I said, nothing has changed at all. It is a stock 980 ti. I never OC my system.It's a very unusual problem, and for some time I thought maybe it was lag spikes-- but surely spikes wouldn't freeze the game still, but rather animations and such would continue.It also occurs on single player battles and survival so that seems to disconfirm the problem being a net related one.

I had such kind of problems on other games, not this one (cause I already included it at antivirus exception list), but sometimes an antivirus is responsible for that "lag"... try to put game directory in exception list... or maybe disable it just while you're in game.

I've already done all that kind of stuff, as really all it really seems it can be is a driver and/or latest patch update conflict.

Since Battlefield 3 / 4, the new Frostbite-Engine reacts very, very sensitive to overclocking. Regardless of whether CPU or GPU! So if anybody have trouble with Battlefront, first try do downclock your graphic card to factory standards. (Even if this card is a buyed OC-Version) In most cases this will stop freezing your game, if nothings helps.
Alternative try this 3 Windows-commands in admin-command prompt:
sfc /scannow
DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth
DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
This will find and repair any issues in Windows.

I am dealing with the same exact thing--sudden problems after the Jakku update, single-player affected as well, it's only Battlefront that's buggy, etc.
It's definitely not a PC-tech issue; I have had no problems with Battlefront until Jakku, so something went wrong with this update.

Same here, since Jakku, I keep getting rubberbanding lags. It's really annoying.

Tried different resolutions, DDU, everything and I've read many posts about this, I doubt it's a tech/hardware issue.
All the ports needed are forwarded everything on my end is perfect.
