1st the game goes really REALLY slow then freezes then crashes with the error message ReadPacketEntities: Failed After dismissing the error message you are back at the Main Menu. This has just started to happen, but now happens with each game today. No changes in my System, Which was working fine with TF2 for months. It smells like the same kind of shenanigans that eventually took down the TF1 game and made it unplayable. I certainly hope not.

This is happening to larger player base, its not a client issue.

It is impossible to play Titanfall 2 multiplayer. The same hacker from Titanfall 1 has brought their serves down. You either can't connect or once you do there is so much lag the game is not playable. This is NOT a problem with my connection many other players have reported this.Who's doing this?As far as we are aware, it's still the same person who's been doing the same thing for the past 3 years. Their name is Jeanue, they've used many different Origin usernames, the first being jeanue. The current name of their main Origin account is xxxTitanfailxxx, and from what we can tell, they're now in control of the Origin account NtrlBornKilla as well.The exploit has been used for years by Jeanue, which he himself lovingly called the "Atomic Bomb" in the bot's name when it joined lobbies and wasn't using the exploit to crash users. It's caused by a buffer overflow caused by the name provided by Jeanue's bots.While it's possible to fix the buffer overflow, there's a separate exploit deployed since December 2020 which crashes users even if they have the Little Boy exploit patched. This will cause the server to kick the player, and so far we're not aware of a way to fix that issue. Because this new exploit uses more bots and has a larger impact while similar to the older Atomic Bomb exploit, I opted to call it the Fat Man.Joining any global multiplayer server will result in speed mods that make it really slow to move. We have tons of reports open and EA/respawn is just ignoring the problem.

This isn't a client side issue. These are server attacks by the same person who rendered TItanfall 1 unplayable. https://twitter.com/ImGaze_/status/1398440300897398784?This individual has "blacklisted" specific players/creators from playing the game altogether. These are the attacks being referred to in the below tweets from Respawnhttps://twitter.com/Respawn/status/1395446711682838530?https://twitter.com/RKRigney/status/1403041047106756610?https://twitter.com/Respawn/status/1403041380902055940?https://twitter.com/Respawn/status/1379204515748929538I have been unable to play since April Rendering my account with 4000 hours unusable and meaningless. Respawn has said they are working on the issue however It has approx 3 MONTHS since the issue has been brought to their attention.

@EA_Atic Seems like it's happening to everyone. Everyone in the games I queue into reports serious lag, and then I disconnect with the error. Seems like it's a server-side issue

Here's a better snapshot of the error message

Titanfall 2 on Playstation is getting DDOSed for 3 straight hours now. A status report by @EAHelp would be helpful tbh..

Happening to me as well. I deleted the game, then turned off the ps4, then Re-installed Titafall2. No Dice, it keeps on failing

Same issue, paired with 2500 ping every time i join a multiplayer game. Its either that error message, or insanely high ping.

same thing is happening here with titanfall2
lots of friends that play online here in San Bernardino County, Southern California...
Hope we can get an update on the fix..
anyway this hacker can be identified and hung... he's pathetic....I'm with the idea of titanfall 3 but the hacking the servers is not the way to go... we would like to play....
