What the hell is going on? The game is full of fps drop and stuttering after the last patch, In addition to this much more serious problem that drops to 1fps. He says please release a flash update for this fantastic game. Standard PS4. (Slim) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4266pmFGuKg](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4266pmFGuKg) ---

I had this happen numerous times last night. My teammate said my ping was @ 400 during the issue. I have never had this happen until this patch. Normally run @ 25 on my ping. ---

Also on PS4 Pro. Game suddenly runs at 1 FPS for about half a minute. Aside from this problem, I didn´t notice any hard FPS drops. ---

Same issue for me.. I’m playing on PS4 Pro and played Team Deathmatch just fine. As soon as I tried conquest or frontlines about 2 mins in it just dropped to about 1FPS as mentioned in the posts above. They better fix this fast. ---

Never had an issue like this since owning a PS4 Now since this “patch” the game has become unplayable at times. Video below was from last night (thought it might be due to heavy traffic my end) no one else in the party experienced it BUT same happened tonight, not only to myself but @Trokey66 @KaasWoljaap @Sciolist Different maps, hardlined and usually stable Internet, went up to 300+ ping?

I had the same issue on Twisted Steel last night on PS Pro. First time I’ve had the issue. Another friend had the same issue on a different map the night before. ---

Ps4, same thing happened on twisted steel near A flag had just spawned in game. It only happened once that game but for me that was enough haven’t played since I’ll wait to see if they acknowledge it in next patch I’m not going to wait and see if this kills or damages my ps4 graphics card. ---

Just had this 3 times in about 5 mins playing breakthrough on Arras. The only other time it’s happened to me was on the same map on the day of the last patch. ---

It’s happened to me four times now since the patch last week. I have a few other videos of the infamous drop in frames but this is the first one with the network graph running. During the drop in frames you can see that the Extr Offset goes through the roof but the ping etc stays the same. Hopefully this might be of some help to DICE.

Same. Jumped from 9 ping to 400, and I’m experiencing micro stuttering. ---

Yep happening with me also the last few days. Even in squad conquest :s Jumps to as high as 800 Only since the last patch.. Prior to that it was running beautifully. ---

I had this on Rotterdam and Aerodrome. It happened at the beginning of each match and settled down after a minute or so. Definitely needs fixing. ---

Managed to record some footage with the network graph running. When the infamous frame drop happens you can see the Extr Offset goes through the roof. This is the fourth time the framerate has dropped out since the patch last week. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwJqCbsuwPk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwJqCbsuwPk) ---

Same here ps4 pro. Considering this game looks way worse than BF1 one might think that it should run better.. To bad it doesn’t. Ping spikes, massive fps drops, stuttering. There’s definitely something that’s really of with the netcode. I can definitely tell that i’m about to die before even getting shot. The game stutters and i can’t move, then i’m dead. It was like that against high ping players in bf1 but in this game it happens randomly. Really annoying.
