[BF6] Share Your Experience: Hitreg, Rubberbanding, and Connection Icons
Hey everyone 👋 We’re taking a closer look at reports related to hit registration issues, rubberbanding, and how the current connection warning icons behave during matches. Some players have mentioned that these issues occur consistently for them, and we’d love to gather more real-world in-game examples to help us understand what’s happening in different situations. If you experience these issues regularly and are willing to share screenshots or short videos, your contribution would be extremely helpful. What We’re Looking For 1. Rubberbanding or connection-feeling issues If you see warning icons frequently or experience movement stutters/teleporting: Please share: A screenshot or short video If you’re sharing screenshots, make sure to attach them to your post -- do not embed them. This helps ensure they display correctly for everyone. With the Simple Performance Overview enabled With the Full Network Overlay enabled These help us understand whether the in-game icons match what’s actually happening with your performance or connection at that moment. 2. Consistent hit registration problems If hitreg regularly feels off for you: Please share: A short video showing the moment(s) where it happens With both overlays enabled (Simple Performance + Network Overlay) This allows us to distinguish between true network issues and client-side performance issues that can sometimes appear similar. How to Enable the Overlays Below are the steps for both PC and console players. 🎮 Console (PS5 / Xbox Series) Simple Performance Overview Open Settings in the game menu. Go to Graphics. Scroll to Performance Overlay (sometimes under “Advanced”). Turn it On, choosing either: Simple, or Advanced/Extended (if available) Network Overlay Open Settings. Go to Network, or Gameplay → Advanced, depending on your layout. Enable Network Performance Overlay or Network Graph. Once enabled, you’ll see indicators like latency, packet loss, and connection stability. 🖥️ PC Simple Performance Overview Open Settings. Go to Graphics. Scroll to Advanced. Enable Performance Overlay. Choose Simple or Advanced/Extended. Full Network Overlay Open Settings. Go to Network or Gameplay → Advanced. Enable Network Performance Overlay or Network Graph. Optional PC console command method (Only if you’ve enabled the console in settings.) Go to Settings → System, enable Command Console. Press ~ (tilde) in-game. Use the command: PerfOverlay.DrawFps 1 To turn it off: PerfOverlay.DrawFps 0 How to Share Your Screenshots/Videos Please upload your clips using: Google Drive OneDrive Dropbox Imgur Streamable YouTube (unlisted is fine) Important: Ensure your link is set to public or “Anyone with the link can view.” Private links cannot be opened. If you’re sharing screenshots, make sure to attach them to your post -- do not embed them. This helps ensure they display correctly for everyone. What Happens After You Share We may reply with follow-up questions or ask if you are open to trying a couple of small tests (like adjusting FPS caps or checking CPU usage). This is completely optional and intended only to help narrow down the causes. We’re not making promises about outcomes -- the goal here is simply to gather clear, consistent examples so we can better understand what players are experiencing. How to Participate When posting your report, please include: A public link to your screenshot/video A short description of what happened Your platform (PC, PS5, Xbox Series) Whether the issue is consistent/reproducible for you Thanks to everyone who takes the time to share examples -- it genuinely helps move these investigations forward and improves the experience for all players.5.1KViews17likes155CommentsBattlefield 6 Scoreboard & Death Freeze (Glitch)
System: Steam-PC While playing Battlefield 6, I would view the scoreboard during gameplay to determine points, stats, report suspicious players, etc. However, today I played two consecutive games where I viewed the scoreboard upon respawning or death and was stuck on the scoreboard. The background either showed black or the game playing behind me. My player was allowed to be shot during this time. The only action that led to me becoming “unstuck” was the game ending. While in the scoreboard glitch, I was unable to press escape to exit. However, I was able to report, view profile, etc. in any player profile I clicked. It appeared the issue was purely exiting the scoreboard to play. One player in chat mentioned I should try to hit the “L” key, which I did. However, this too did not work. The only way out of this was either wait for the match to complete or restart my game. While waiting for one of the games to end, my computer also crashed (something it's never done before and I'm well over the recommended specifications). Similarly, approximately 1.5 weeks ago, I died in game and could not be revived. Once dead, I was unable to access the respawn screen. My screen stayed grayed out, and the only action that removed this glitch was the game ending. I am posting so the EA technical team can review. This appears to be triggered by deaths.Severe Team Balancing Issues Are Ruining Match Outcomes
For the last few seasons I am pretty much playing in terribly unbalanced games where victory seems nearly impossible just for doing well on my part. In a lot of games, I come close to the top with tons of kills good objective work and a respectable K/D and yet like half of our team is coming out with nothing or just about nothing at the end of matches. Meanwhile, the enemy team is significantly filled with good players who coordinate and push objectives and keep pressure for a full game. This has happened so often in fact that I really can't remember the last time I was on a balanced or fair team. The upshot is a long string of losses that feel entirely beyond my influence. If the matches at least are competitive it's ok to lose, but for now we find ourselves losing because there was never a match before even starting since teams are imbalanced. It’s very discouraged for that they don’t feel rewarded for playing good. One person carrying shouldn't lead to continual loss because match making does not balance skills among the teams. Please review: Skill-based team distribution Mid-match team rebalancing Squad composition logic The distribution of new or low-contributing players across the teams By far, team balance right now sucks the most joy out of this game for me.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!Solved65KViews219likes878CommentsWest Coast routing bug — BF6 matchmaking forcing us-east
Hey EA team, I’m based in Washington State (West Coast) and my setup is rock-solid — fiber connection, sub-15 ms local latency, 0 % packet loss, Smart Queues enabled on my UDM. Despite that, Battlefield 6 matchmaking keeps assigning me to AWS us-east-1 (Virginia) servers, resulting in a constant 85 – 95 ms ping even though nearby West-coast servers are clearly reachable and performing great. I’ve been running a PowerShell network analyzer, and the data makes it obvious: Local Akamai / CDN edge: 10 – 20 ms ping, perfectly stable Once matched on East-coast AWS nodes (e.g. 54.210.180.10, 54.197.155.195), latency jumps to 90 ms + 0 % packet loss, all TCP/UDP 3544, DNS, and IPv4 diagnostics are clean No local congestion — fq_codel Smart Queues active (900 / 38 Mbps) Issue: purely matchmaking region assignment, not my network The Problem West-coast players like me are being routed to East-coast AWS relays, even when local West-coast or Akamai servers are available and reachable at low latency. That’s adding 70 – 80 ms of unnecessary delay, hurting hit-reg and gameplay fluidity. This looks like a matchmaking region bias or misconfiguration on EA’s side. Technical Context Location: Woodinville, WA (West Coast US) ISP: Comcast Gigabit (wired Ethernet) Router: UniFi Dream Machine (Smart Queues = 900 / 38 Mbps) IPv6: Disabled, Teredo Off OS: Windows 10 Pro Game: Battlefield 6 (EA App – latest build) I can provide full logs showing: server IP + reverse DNS (AWS us-east-1) latency, jitter, loss, timestamp samples auto-detection when matchmaking hops regions Request Please escalate this to the Battlefield 6 server ops / matchmaking routing team. West-coast players are being unfairly routed across the country, adding massive latency that shouldn’t exist when closer servers are online. For Other Players If you’re also on the West Coast (CA, WA, OR, NV) and getting 80 ms+ pings on BF6, please: Reply with your city/state and average ping. Include your server IP (found under Options → Network Details or via Resource Monitor). Click “Me Too” / XP / Upvote so EA can see how widespread this is. Let’s get this fixed — the data proves it’s not a user-side issue. EA, please pass this up to the matchmaking routing / server region configuration team. Thanks for taking it seriously.167Views3likes2CommentsBF6 crashing and causing PC to restart
I'm having a problem where every single time I enter into a match I'm able to play for maybe 30 seconds and then my entire computer crashes and forces a restart. I played the beta in august and had absolutely 0 issues with running the game, but now the game releases and this happens. Is anyone else experiencing this? Please fix this EA.Solved30KViews68likes415CommentsSpent 2550 Battlefield coins on Winter Offensive Tier Skip with nothing unlocked
I tried to spend my coins to unlock the Support skin on the winter offensive bonus path. The game was more than happy to take my coins with nothing being unlocked. I tried twice to tier skip up to that point, and tried to tier skip the first unlock but nothing has changed. Nobody should have their money wasted because you can't make your game work. I fully expect to receive my wasted coins back, this is unacceptable.Skipped 2 levels into the new Battlepass but I didn't receive the levels?
I just bought 2 tier skips for 300 BF points but I didn't receive my 2 levels? What? I had 4.050 points, now I have 3.750, and my Winter Offensive BP is on the same level What's going on? I wish had some kind of transaction to show, but we can't even see those. And I'm not one of those players that record everything so...4Views0likes0CommentsSteam - Unknown Error 1:86001S:51009S:11468332130:1073807360Q
