"Prediction error" symbol in EVERY GAME

This in EVERY game the first crucial minutes of the game when most fighting is happening..... Can you fix the servers or is it yet another measure (like reduced loot) to discourage people jumping ho...

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.

    @TheJumpingJawa Basically the server trying to execute everything that’s going on with 60 players dropping at the same time. All the Tactical abilities, guns and hop-ups and everything else. The servers are just too bad to handle it so they lag.

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.
