EA/Respawn does not own the servers?
I actually didn't know that EA/Respawn rents their servers from a 3rd party company, Multiplay which I think is owned by Unity. Their 6 year contract with Multiplay will end on August around the time...

@Koochi-Q Wasn't the fundamental issue with topic essentially that respawn doesn't feel that the improvement from 20hz to 60hz will be substantial enough to make the extra cost viable.
There was a blog written on this where same duc gives an example basically stating;
"player with a 50-millisecond ping would experience a 75-millisecond delay, getting 5 frames of lag if running the game at 60 FPS while on a 20Hz tick rate. If the tick rate was boosted to 60 Hz, the same math would see 3 frames of lag."
So essentially the bottom line is I doubt they'll make the jump to 60hz as they view it as a pointless expense. Which means they'll probably either renew the multiplay contract or jump to another provider offering 20hz aswell lol. >.>
I would expect since the contract expires soon they already have a plan for what is next. Imperialhal has mentioned on stream that good things are coming in regards to servers and ddosers so maybe he knows something.
@hayhor well I sincerely hope your predictions better than mine, improved servers would be lovely.
- @MandatoryIDtag I actually agree with your assessment based on what they said previously so I dont really have hope. 🤣
@hayhor hope is just a tool for creating disappointment, keep up the pessimism dude it's much healthier.
I'd rather be pleasantly surprised than constantly disappointed lol.xD
- @hayhor Let's go, Hal! It would be needed. Since we got our regular playlists back I've had so many prediction errors, just prediction errors, ruining many games as it gets so laggy and choppy throughout the entire match.
