Packet loss can happen on wireless connections when there’s interference. Packet loss shows up more severely in gaming than it does in things like video streaming or internet browsing, mostly because there’s no caching or buffering in-game to counteract it. What you’ll see with packet loss is what most players refer to as input lag - keystrokes or button presses that don’t register properly in-game (mostly because they’re not all making it through to us). You’ll see an orange warning from 2-4% packet loss, and a red one once your connection hits 5% or above. This means that info coming from you to us is incomplete, some of it is being lost along the way.

If it hits red, you’re likely to see disconnects until we can isolate and replace or reboot the server that’s underperforming. When Server performance shows as orange, we’ve been alerted that there’s a problem.

Watch out for these warnings on-screen, since they will give you the best indicator of what’s happening when you’re seeing a performance decrease in-game. Find out what to check if you’re getting timeouts, disconnects or other connection errors in Battlefield V.īattlefield V has a number of tools in-game to help you identify when something (your connection, our servers, your graphics performance) is not working as it should.
