PSA: Mouse Input is broken in this game (looks similar to bad frame timing)
Mouse input is broken, which ruins an otherwise well optimised game. This looks to be getting confused with poor frame timing in a lot of threads, but controller input is unaffected. For reference, I easily average over 100fps even on the bigger maps, but panning the camera with mouse input makes the game feel like it's running at 15fps despite no drops. In-game reporting confirms it's running perfectly, as CPU/GPU are always rendering within 10fps of eachother. Connect a controller though? Buttery smooth camera panning, and easy to track enemies. No hitches or stutters, just butter. I've tried: - All polling rates, from 125hz up to 4000hz - Toggling raw input on/off - Enabling/disabling Nvidia reflex - Changing USB ports, changing to different mice, wired/wireless - USB power saving etc all turned off - I even tried a driver/Nvidia CP restore, but as controller is super smooth, this was a long shot in the first place Unfortunately the game is unplayable using a mouse on PC due to this. It's next to impossible to track targets, and you quickly get a headache from the micro stuttering when panning. The effect is very similar to Helldivers 2 on PC, when you turn off 'Mouse Smoothing', as that game has serious issues with raw mouse input. Happy to hear suggestions on how to fix this. Mice tried: - Keychron M4 - Logitech G305 - Logitech G604 - Razer Naga Hyperspeed - AttackShark M1 I've also tried on an entirely different PC, same results. OLED as always exhacerbates the issue too, due to the awesome pixel response times. I fear many won't see it due to slower LCDs. Specs are: 5700x3d 3060ti 8GB 32GB DDR4 3600 CL16 AW3423DW (Gsync module version) This is on a fresh Windows install, up to date drivers (tried DDU as well to be sure), but honestly since it's running beautifully with a controller, this looks to be purely a mouse input issue. No other games exhibit this issue other than... Helldivers 2, and Battlefield V. BF1 is butter on mouse, as are BF3 and BF4. Helldivers 2 can be fixed by turning on mouse smoothing in game. I almost bought a GPU upgrade before testing the Xbox controller, saved myself £600. Latest CM post: Hi everyone, Thanks for sharing your experiences and feedback so far. We understand this issue is especially frustrating when it impacts your ability to play smoothly with a mouse. While we’ve asked for similar information before (here), to move forward and make meaningful progress, it is absolutely essential that you provide detailed and precise information responding to the specific request below. Giving vague comments without concrete details won’t help us troubleshoot, escalate, or investigate effectively. If you’re able to, please reply directly to this post by clicking the Reply button on this post. This keeps your info neatly organised and makes it much easier for us (and the studio) to track everything. Please avoid replying to the original post or posting at the bottom of the thread, as this makes it harder for everyone to follow the conversation. Here’s what would be super helpful for us to know: Mouse mode (wired or wireless) Mouse polling rate (e.g. 1000Hz) Whether you’re using mouse software (like Razer Synapse) Where your mouse is plugged in (PC, monitor, hub, etc.) Keyboard model and connection type (wired/wireless) Keyboard polling rate Whether you’re using keyboard software Where your keyboard is plugged in Monitor model Full PC specs (CPU, GPU with driver version, RAM) Full Windows OS version (not just "Windows 11") Whether Gsync or VRR is enabled Full screen mode (fullscreen, borderless, windowed) Which platform do you play on (EA app or Steam) Any overlays active during play (Discord, EA app, Nvidia overlay, etc.) CPU and GPU usage percentages while playing Whether the issue improves with a framerate cap (e.g. 125 FPS) The more details you can share, the better we can help. We know it’s a lot to ask, but this is the only way we can ensure the right information reaches the team and move things forward. Thanks so much for your patience and for helping us out with this. We really appreciate it!

Battlefield 6 Latency and Lag
I am getting all kinds of server side lag. My name on the scoreboard constantly shows a wifi symbol with an exclamation point through it. Here are some of things I am experiencing: Sliding in different directions like I am drifting. Severely delayed ADS Rubber-banding back and forth and watching friendlies and enemies do the same. When firing or receiving fire I die instantly with no one there. This problem existed in the beta and I assumed it was a server load problem. I tried various fixes and speedtests on my end and I have no problem in any other online game, including Battlefield 5. Is this a known issue? Is there a fix? Can we change are server location?

Battlefield 6 connects to Chile servers instead of U.S. East
TLDR: I live in Maryland USA but Battlefield 6 keeps routing me to the Santiago Chile data center every time I launch the game. It causes constant connection issues and high ping. I have done every possible local fix. This looks like an EA backend tenancy issue that needs a reset. I’m hoping to find out if anyone else is running into this same issue or if EA staff can take a look. I’m located in Maryland USA and my IP geolocation is confirmed by multiple lookup sites. However, every time I launch Battlefield 6 on PC (Steam plus EA App), my in-game tenancy shows: PROD_DEFAULT-SANTIAGO-COMMON That’s the Chile data center, roughly 4000 miles away from me. As a result, every server I join has high latency, constant orange connection icons, and severe desync, making the game nearly unplayable. I can’t join my US friends without connection problems. Here’s what I’ve already done (none of this fixed it): Confirmed my EA Account regional settings are set to United States Cleared all EA App caches (ProgramData, AppData, LocalAppData) Deleted and rebuilt all Battlefield 6 settings files Flushed DNS, Winsock, and IP stack Set DNS to 8.8.8.8 and 1.1.1.1 Verified game files in Steam Switched between automatic and manual IP assignment Tested multiple VPN endpoints (New York, Virginia, Chicago) Confirmed my public IP geolocates to Maryland on multiple services Even after all that, the game still forces me to the Santiago tenancy every login What I’ve concluded: This appears to be an EA backend issue where my account’s tenancy token is stuck on the wrong data center. Other users have reported similar problems in previous Battlefield titles when their accounts were cached to the wrong region. My account region and network are fine. It seems to be a stale entry in EA’s matchmaking or tenancy database that needs a server-ops reset. What I’ve tried with EA Support: Submitted two tickets (they don’t show up in My Cases) No visible confirmation or escalation yet What I’m hoping for: To find out if anyone else is also being routed to Santiago or another far-away data center despite being in the US Maybe get visibility from an EA community manager or support agent who can flag this for a tenancy reset on my account If you’re having this issue too, please reply with your location, platform, and what data center your game shows (bottom-right corner of the main menu). It will help demonstrate that this is a wider backend bug, not just a local problem.

People abusing high ping
I noticed since the last update that there are a lot of peopel with the red wifi symbol next to their name. They have high ranks and a very high kill count. They shoot like they have lasers . But they are hard to kill. I start to believe they abuse this on purpose.

Lag and synchronization issues in the game.
I'm having an extremely annoying problem, especially in RedSec Battle Royale. I land several shots when an enemy appears, but I can't kill them; instead, I take 2 or 3 shots and die very quickly. Does anyone else have the same problem or know if there's a solution? I play on PlayStation 5 and PC (using the EA app), and apparently it's even worse on PC than on PlayStation.

Rail cover attachments
I've noticed recently the rail cover attachment if you have it equipped and look down on the ground there it is and it will follow you around might be something to look into also the helicopters are a little glitchy with the blades not moving and helicopter just hoping around

Battlefield 6 — Incorrect Server Region (EU player routed to US/Japan servers)
Hello EA Support and Battlefield Community, I'm experiencing a frustrating issue with Battlefield 6. Despite living in Estonia (EU), the game constantly connects me to servers in the US-East (Virginia) or Asia (Japan) regions, which results in high ping and noticeable input lag, when I try to play via official servers... But when I play from Portal or just browse through community servers I don't have have any issues. I've tried all recommended troubleshooting steps: Port check with netstat — no active connections to EU servers on port 30000 EA App is working fine Portal and Community servers load correctly Game server connection is always routed far from my actual location I believe my account is being locked or prioritized to the wrong data center, and I kindly ask for this to be reviewed or reset. Can you please investigate and confirm which data centers my account is associated with, and correct the matchmaking region if possible?

Constant Latency Variation and Time Nudge
I've seen this posted around quite a bit, with differing solutions each time. All game modes have a constant latency variation and time nudge issue that makes the game feel sluggish. I've attached a HWInfo screenshot as well as in game screenshots with network graphs for anyone who can decipher them. Please help!
