They tried to run more BF5 server instances (VMs) on lower amount of physical servers which makes less CPU resources per VM so server lag because insufficient computing resources. Dice just switch it off- it will be cheapest right away.
Played several hours last night (EU Servers). (Almost) no lags, but (almost) one or more cheaters in every game.
Please bring back the lags,that's less annoying.
Even Sunday has passed.... the lag has not been resolved..... I think we will have to get used to the new "standard" game.... with servers powered by wood
The game went from pretty smooth and playable to a terrible lumbering lag fest - in all game modes. Feels like I'm running around in slow mo, lag compensation is appalling and getting hit by bullets seems to stop my movements somehow. Constant server packet loss and latency icons showing in the hud. Tried this evening and same so this isn't fixed. I'm not sure what they were trying to fix with maintenance but since the game is unplayable. I suspect more cost cutting?
Any news yet, EA? I´m in Sweden and i joined a server in EU. First map was Hamada, no problemo. Second was Aerodrome, no problemo. Third was Iwo Jima, mucho problemo and i quit playing.
Symbol for packetloss was flashing red like it was the last time he had on earth. Everything lagged. Like playing BFV on 4K ultra settings on a Casio wrist watch from 1982.
Platform - PC Gamemode - Strategic Conquest Map - Hamada - ok, Aerodrome - ok, Iwo Jima - packetloss
I called EA support, ended up in India that say that BFV does not currently have any issue so the problem was on my PC. I laughed so hard my teeth fell out.
This game keeps going from bad to worse every time, i thought it couldn't get any worse... but now the game is in an unplayable state. I think this is it for BFV putting last nails into coffin.

Now working again :-)

”Let’s turn a blind eye to the massive cheating in BFV on pc. That probably won’t hurt our future sales of BF6!”

I still have the same ~40 to the East Coast and ~70 to the West Coast servers on PS4, that I had before said maintenance.

Mind you the multiple hackers in EVERY game kind of spoils it anyway.
Over and out and goodbye, it was fun
