It's only noticeable sometimes to be honest - perhaps more in 64 player maps.

"netcode" in Frostbite 3 (engine used by BF1, etc.) is pretty garbage at the best of times TBH unless you are seeing the red icons it often doesn't seem to be consistent with whether there are problems at all.
Wifi and powerline connections can quite often be the cause of latency inconsistency and packet loss, etc. when gaming though.

I'll maybe try and run my cat6 ethernet cable direct from my router and see if that clears it up.
If it does i'll invest in new powerlines - not sure what sort of speeds I'll need on them though.

I was getting this quite a bit recently using wifi, so I installed another powerline networking adapter to my existing ones and it's performing much better now. Consistent ping under 20 and no noticeable issues with lag or latency. Also speedtest is reporting much more consistent download and upload speeds.

Are you sure it isn't the dropped frames icon? It's small yellow boxes onto top of one another. I get that with a 1080 at 1080p yet frame rate feel solid.
Like most things when it comes to coding and Dice they don't seem to care beyond it appearing to work - so you get the icons quite a bit for no reason because the code is buggy - used to happen a lot more when they first implemented it but slowly someone has worked out some of the kinks in it.
Sure all code can take awhile to fully debug, etc. but this is something else where a lot is avoidable if whoever was programming actually cared a ****.

It's definitely the latency ones.

If your ping isn't too high ant it feels fine I wouldn't worry about it. Like Roff said above the icons are a bit broke on the game.
Been having framerate issues this morning.
I haven't played this for a week. Logged on this morning and joined a game, was getting 40 - 80fps.
I used to get 120+ on Ultra when this released!
Anyone else having a similar issue?
Debating whether to give my machine a fresh windows install soon.

same for me, when I first got this game I was getting great frames, nowa days I have big drops to high 30s on some maps and overall dosnt run as good
Yeah same. Im not one to usually call hacking either but its been blatant. From what i read fairfight is statistic based so wallhacks dont get found aslong as the user is a bit clever about it.
Cheeky little Six man kill right off the bat on Ballroom blitz.
Tank on flag, someone layed down mines for your team and your flechettes set them off?
This game is doing my head in!! You get no reward at all for actually playing your class!!
Yep its a very thankless task playing the objective or helping the team with health/revives/ammo.
What i get most annoyed about is if a tank is causing havoc no one switches to assault just to take it out. Yes it will cost you a life but 20+ assault firing AT rockets at a tank its not going to last very long.
I'd prefer to do away from K/D on the scoreboard and up points for vehicle destroy assists. Doing 90% of the damage to kill a tank or behemoth but not getting the final hit and basically not getting any points for it is fustraating.
I agree 100%.. People just want to have the best K/D ratio and thats it.. Don't worry about that fact we are losing the bloody game!! "no I want to sit all the way over here with 0-0 with a sniper"... I mean how is that fun?
