Disconnect: Client hardware mismatch.

I have a 3080 Nvidia GPU. But my motherdoard is AMD and CPU AMD. I have 32GB RAM.

It gets worse now because i uninstalled origin to see if it makes a difference and now i realise it is no loger available. You have to use the new EA APP. Now the game in stuck on loading and does not even launch. I cant find anyone else with this issue.

EA are killing this game.

just an update: i will let you know if installing the new app makes a difference: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues/stuck-at-launching-game-after-start-the-game-from-launcher/m-p/11986275/highlight/false#M159973

Hello again,

I may have figured out that Client hardware mismatch error. It will happen, if you will change graphics settings (new driver, change some of the driver settings etc). Game is unable to make the gameplay even close to fairness and the game knows it. Miserable last resort is to try measure the internal delays and lags related to this mess of incoming udp packets, outgoing udp packets, internal input lag etc.

So if you change your settings, you are most likely being matched quite soon to a game with ridigulously fast ping (game maybe run even locally in your computers, or closes possible data center available). Game is trying (read: trying, but not succeeding) to measure the real delays inside the engine and network and if "regular" server detects that your hardware is changed, it will kick you out after the current game and you are most likely being put to a measurement/statistics server where you are playing some kind of trial and error game where those internal measurements are being updated.

Respawn is still failing a big part of the equation. They are most likely not at all thinking of the fact that incoming and outgoing udp packets have a potentially very different and constantly changing routes so there could be a huge difference in delays for incoming and outgoing udp packets. This WILL cause unfairness to players which are far from the actual game server. When think that nothing works, opponents are killing you instantly in one clip you not even noticing anything happening, it is very likely that your outgoing udp (input lag increases)are taking a * of longer path to the game server compared to the incoming udp packet which will eventually describe your client to show your game state.

VPN is not a solutions as Respawn is randomizing the match making regardless of the actual game server you are picking up so ALWAYS IN EVERY SITUATION PLAYERS FAR FROM THE GAME SERVER will suffer and feel that the game is unfair.

Have fun playing.

ps. I know nothing about computers or network infrastructure... Please challenge this resolution.

I'd assume this would've had something to do with HWID's, though I doubt any of you would have made changes to this.

(Especially due to the fact that this isn't a consistent error)

I assume you all never changed any hardware recently? 

(Let's include BIOS updates/changes too)
