Recently, some of the servers have been being broken by hackers. Their mods essentially make people teleport, but if you do it too fast you can stop the other team from spawning, for example (as they did), and generally after a while the server appears to 'clog up'. This causes legitimate player requests to be ignored - moving, shooting, using Star Cards - and gives the experience of a VERY laggy connection. Unfortunately, when in this state, it appears that only headshots can deal damage, and nobody can be lowered below 1 hitpoint, making the game unplayable. This condition appears to persist on the server for a fair amount of time even after the hacker has left, and even brand-new sparkling-clean lobbies created with the intent of avoiding this can be 'bricked'. Please can this be brought to the attention of the EA devs, such that they might fix the servers, adequately hacker-proof their netcode, and punish those responsible? I can't fathom what the hackers get out of causing this - even less than I can fathom their usual selfish stupidity. I know lots of people have experienced this - I have been in lobbies with at least 80 different players where the server has been bricked - I just hope we can make enough noise to get this fixed again, like last time. This has happened on every server region that I have tried, and for many game modes.

This has been going on for days and regardless of how many times I send EA feedback and try to open tickets for support, EA is doing nothing to fix the problem. EA needs to get their S**t together.

Yeah this is a widespread issue, and it’s going to keep happening unless EA can shut down these rampant hackers. It’s not just people messing with servers, one shot, wall hack, and hero power ups on characters are all a big thorn in the side of the community.

EA please fix this or it might suffer the same fate as Titanfall did!

I agree, this must be fixed.

yup still going on today. Tried moving to other modes, outer rim etc, no luck. Surely there are a lot more than 16 people having this problem judging by all the lobbies I've tried to use last couple days

Yeah every time i go on the game I encounter a hacker that just ruins the experience. I understand that this is an 8 year old game however something needs to be done with this issue. PLEASE EA

Everyone knows that this game lost support long time ago but universal and working anticheat should be a foundation of every multiplayer game in existance
