"Prediction error" symbol in EVERY GAME

@iBlockHead 

It isnt something local on my side. I play with people from all over my country I have 20-25 ping on a 1000/100 mbit connection and whenever I have the symbol flashing on my screen, 100% of times, my team mates also have it. 

"A prediction error icon is the one with two parallel lines with dots on them. This indicates that the server has failed to predict the movement of another player, generally one you’re looking at. The game tries to calculate and predict such behaviors to a certain extent to show them to other players faster, but a prediction error shows that these predictions are wrong. This is also a server-side problem that you generally can’t do anything about. "

Hrm I noticed something strange. The symbol flashes in perfect sync with the damage tick when I was outside the circle today. Watch this video; as soon as I walk into the safe side of the circle, it stops, then I walk out just for a couple of seconds again and the symbol reappears. It just CANT be a coincident hrmmm.

This has happened to me since time began.

I too have noticed this becoming more frequent; mostly at the start of matches.

It effects my team mates too, which precludes it being a client-side issue; I guess it's just a different manifestation of the servers being under provisioned for the early game.

It's irritating (especially when it's bad enough to cause warping & missed pickups), but certainly not as bad as either the slow mo we had originally, nor the code net/leaf dropped servers that we had after that.

I don't get this every game but it has been happening frequently since the shadowfall update. It's extremely frustrating; PUBG didn't even have this much of an unplayable experience and they've lost their entire playerbase...

I agree it's frequent at the start of matches. Have you dropped onto Mirage's Voyage in the first few seconds of a game and opened the supply bins to find nothing in them and enemies aiming empty hands at you while you aim empty hands at them? Clearly the server isn't drawing all the objects, but I've had it happen often enough that now I just plan on it. It makes a big difference firing an invisible weapon if it's an auto or a charge rifle or a shotgun. It's frustrating, but I think it's just packet loss or prediction error.
