The game is almost stuttering at some points, like it’s choking (online domination maps) this on all my Xbox one, which includes Xbox one X and Xbox one S.

On the Xbox One X the game looks a lot better, but the gameplay is on most servers very slow and almost playable. Even on low ping servers.

Thanx!

Well you might be sensitive to FPS drops. Are you playing on 4k? The frame rate dips more on 4k. I’ve got an FPS counter on screen and it’s pretty big drops. I went back to 1080p for better performance.

I never play this game for 24 hours after an update. The servers never seem to run right. After 24 hours all goes back to normal. Been this way since launch.

Ok seems i found the culprit, party chat makes the game lag very bad. Quite party chat and its back to normal

Yep, party chat screws this update over. I play with lots of other players who have the same issue.

The Platoon I’m in are ALL having this issue when in Xbox party chat. When not in chat it runs ok, no FPS lag. We have Xbox one, one S and one X users who are all having this issue. Seems like there is a conflict between BF1 (from this update) and the Xbox OS now. Even when an Xbox notification pops up the game lags really bad. This has only started happening from the update and we have done the usual things like hard reset and router restarts etc…

Did you do the XB1 update? There was an asterisk in the patch notes about doing an actual Xbox update.

I have both Xbox One and Xbox One X.  
Having this issue with both consoles.  
Trying to reinstall all the over.  
Well, if the framedrops stops when leaving party I guess I’ll do that.

Also, thing to capture a vid or getting back from Xbox System configurations to the game also makes it become a slideshow.

Hope they fix it soon..

To me it’s impossible to play! I use the 100% of sensitivity and this update make bf1 unplayable for me! DICE PLEASE DO SOMETHING VERY QUICKLY! I have a Xbox elite with SSD hardrive and I have lost a lot of FPS ans my crosshair just teleport because of lags and fast sensitivity! I don’t even need this update but it kills my game! There are so many problems with each update! It’s getting to be boring…

Been playing on 4K since i got my Xbox One X, and only used the Xbox one S on 4K monitors as well. I doubt that is the issues, Since just about any game that runs native 4K works just fine, it’s more like a choke of the system not being able to handle to many requests rather than framedrops.

I will wait until they hotfix it before playing it then.

I had this problem when I was in party chat when I switch to game chat it went away and I didn’t have the frame loss.

Try turning down your field of you and those three options for film grain effect and so forth turn them off.

Funny how EA advisors aren’t around for support after such a buggy update.. I can confirm Party chat is bugged out.

Yeah I’m seeing terrible frame rate issues as well. I WAS in a party, I’m trying without being in a party right now to see if it helps..If anything and this works at least we know that it can be fixed and we can all eventually play in 4k without issue…hopefully.

I think it’s been established it’s a issues with Xbox OS and BF1 as the issue is 100% reproduced by entering party chat, quit party chat and the game works just as before on all my xbox consoles (4 units)

Let’s hope there is a fix coming soon!

To bad EA doesn’t care enough to post a reply here to let us know they are aware of the issue.

OK so we tested with Skype on XBOX and the exact same issue, so it’s something going on, BF1 seems to want all the resources if not it won’t play nice.. 🙂

My monitor is showing higher FPS dips on the counter Vs 1080p. Runs fine but if you’re sensitive to dips the frame rate does drop below 60 a lot more! Do you have an FPS counter? Does it show different for you?
