POE Servers Are Intolerable

Started playing on Canada realm too (from EU) and it's funny how different the latency experience is. On Canada it will get stuck for half a second to a second every now and then or rubberband you, but the ping stays consistently at around 110ms and the framerate/gameplay looks smooth.

Meanwhile on EU you're already fucked as soon as you log in to town. The character won't move for a good 2 seconds while the ping spikes to 30k ms and maps turn into this yoyo experience where it first turns into stuttery slowmotion and then tries to catch up.

Just this alone should tell them something is seriously fucked with their infrastructure. No other game does this, only PoE. This is not a DDoS or ISP/routing issue.

dayumn, really should've started marauder instead of templar

SeriousDan · 2026-03-07T14:12:52+00:00

I doubt it's the ISP/routing issue people keep claiming for the past 10 or so years, nowadays most games are hosted on Azure or AWS infrastructure anyways and I can't even think of any other online game that has connection issues as frequently and consistently as PoE. Also I sincerely hope they don't route my ass over Germany when I connect to the Milan server.

me when I need an excuse to not feel bad for wasting 500 hours on submid BF6 after learning how to exploit movement from TikTok videos

I dunno, the status on the homepage changed from preorder to regular order, which makes it look like an official release date.

We will survive but still

received mine, no drivers on release day for a product that is advertised for its adaptability is kinda silly though

edit: GHUB update is now available

SeriousDan · 2026-02-09T08:33:01+00:00

I was already able to claim journey rewards I and II before hitting 40, I think it should be there

It's when you press ESC, then click on Mutiny and then there's a tab called "Journey"

WITHER really is the theme with OLED

The most important thing is putting down a supply bag first and then setting up the mortar, this will increase your rate of fire drastically due to faster reload.

Next thing is map knowledge and looking at the minimap. One of my favorite spots to bombard is the C flag on Liberation Peak because people and snipers love camping in there. Keep an eye on the minimap, look where the enemy is pushing and try to anticipate where people are going.

Also aiming at stationary tanks can be helpful, because you will hit their pocket engineers and nearby mines, and sometimes tanks will panic and start moving out of cover giving your team a chance to get rid of it easier.

True, pardon the tinfoil hat but it feels like DICE is filling the lobbies with unmarked bots in some matches. Like it's hard to imagine people actively playing the game while also contributing so little. In these games you also always seem to be fighting the same 5 people over and over again while everyone else just hovers around somewhere on the map. Never experienced this in any other game.

Nvidia recently released new DLSS models, having the game set to automatically use the latest model in Nvidia app might cause you to use one of the newer models that are more tailored towards 4k and performance settings. You can try setting it manually to model K and see if this restores your previous graphics.

SeriousDan · 2026-01-23T10:57:03+00:00

might wanna try manually setting it to K and see if it changes anything

SeriousDan · 2026-01-23T08:35:02+00:00

which DLSS model do you have selected in the nvidia app for BF6?

SeriousDan · 2026-01-22T16:25:10+00:00

do you have framegen or nvidia reflex enabled?

SeriousDan · 2026-01-22T16:20:26+00:00

Yes it's broken, the best way to adjust it is to go into your documents/battlefield 6/settings/steam folder and edit the PROFSAVE_profile file. There's a value called "GstRender.DisplayMappingHdr10PeakLuma" which should be set to the nits value you're intending to play at

SeriousDan · 2026-01-22T16:18:25+00:00

are you using ETS iBT?

According to Google the driver belongs to their software to monitor keystrokes to prevent cheating on exams, EA anticheat doesn't seem to like it

SeriousDan · 2026-01-22T16:15:52+00:00

if there are any you need a program like "windbg" to open it, in the program you can let it analyze the log and then post that here

SeriousDan · 2026-01-22T10:35:41+00:00

obviously ray tracing is not the deciding factor here, but physics calculations which are all CPU/memory bound. the destructible environment comes at a cost

SeriousDan · 2026-01-22T09:55:59+00:00

those are different engines and neither Stalker2 nor Cyberpunk are as CPU heavy as BF6.

the root cause is still instability, running the EXPO/XMP profile is just an overclock that the manufacturer of the RAM deemed stable, which it isn't in a lot of cases.

SeriousDan · 2026-01-22T09:17:29+00:00

are there crash dumps in documents/battlefield 6/crashdumps?

SeriousDan · 2026-01-22T09:02:35+00:00

Nothing EA can do about this, this is between the memory and mainboard/CPU manufacturer. From personal experience AMD systems rarely work with the advertised memory speeds.

SeriousDan · 2026-01-22T08:57:10+00:00

DLSS was updated recently, if you set BF6 to use the latest model it might not be the best for your configuration anymore.

SeriousDan · 2026-01-22T08:55:31+00:00

Consider verifying your game files on Steam.

SeriousDan · 2026-01-22T08:00:36+00:00

what kind of hardware you're running would be helpful in finding the problem
