What did that do with Aim Assist? It seems really OP right now. I would curious to see how console players are doing now since the 1.2 patch?Every encounter with a console player is a death now. I got some trade kills, but if I get hit with one bullet, no matter what, I am dead. Has any else noticed this? I finally got a lag free game in and then every engagement is a death by console player.

I tought it would never happen, but i have to agree with Atic here. Both pc and console have their own problems and i believe the trouble lays network/patches/update etc wise, and not person wise. I hope this will be fix for both sides, so we all can play the game how its ment to be. I for one don't mind playing with console players...they kill me and i kill them..i see no differents. I totaly understand that some console players prefer to play only against other console players, so i hope for them there wil be a console only option. In the end...we are all gamers and we like to play..no matter if you are a noob( like me ) or a ace. Specialy now with what's going on with this game, we have to stand united.

I have to laugh at you PC players whining.The only thing they did was remove the aim slow down bubble that was making it damn near impossible to track moving targets.The snap aim still doesn't work 80% of the time, there is no horizontal tracking/assitAs a Series X player the only noticable difference after patch my aim isn't stuck in lag do to the aim assit bubble anymore.So if your losing to a console player its because they out shot you not to aim assit. The only difference now is console players aren't being even more handicapped by the old aim assit.

@xXHappy_PuppyXxTotally agree that the net code via cross play is creating much of the TTK/TTD/hit reg/desync/lag compensation/etc issues with BF 2042, along with the fact there are not enough players online at one time consistently for the MM system to fill a game server with players in localized low latency zones. So add packet loss and 300ms and higher pings to the net code equation formula of online chaos.As it stands, BF 2042 net code is like the Heisenberg uncertainty principle...sometimes it is impossible to predict outcomes so it just manufactures player reality from nothingness..😛Honestly the PC/Console "Aim-Assist" debate is is just predictable tribal human nature, but is mostly a distraction from logical reality that BF 2042 contains a few dozen major net code issues that create a system of inconsistently fair gameplay.And other games have similar issues. For example, I play a game that is PVE with players across the entire globe, running 200ms to 300ms pings, and it worked great until the Devs recently added "cross play". Now PC/Playstation/Xbox players can't even go one round without someone dropping, new weird lag effects are constant, basically ruined the game as the net code can't handle both the high latency and the different platforms now, and it was fine with high latency and the same platforms previously.BF 2042 running five different platforms was a neat idea, but the idea is better than reality with 128 player modes full of high and low ping players using a MM system only really works well with tens of thousands of players, not a couple of thousand online....Dice knows this, but the game was sold as 128 player, so no easy way to reverse it completely at this point. What is needed is 32-64 player max with latency limits and a higher tick rates, or even maybe even just total map variable refresh per tick like Apex Legends, not the zoned approach used currently with BF 2042...Even better, just dump the MM system and go back to server browsers...but at this point, I'm guessing that isn't even possible as it seems to be the number one requested feature for the last 8-9 months, yet not a single comment from either Dice or EA concerning server browsers...🤔

@RaginSam /facepalm the console aim assit is not the same as pc... hence in the patch notes it was a fix to console aim assit.I have played both full aim assit and with it off. There is no discernable difference.In fact do to the slow bubble effect I had to turn it off as it was that detrimental to gameplay.

Try playing with a controller and see if it's really as OP as you think. Aim assist doesn't work like it does in CoD. It doesn't stick to players and 'aimbots' targets. It literally slows down your reticle when you're already on the target. The person is still having to aim.For what it's worth I'm playing worse than before the update. The aim assist still doesn't function well enough.

@lionking7001yep, it seems the only way to resolve these issues.

More players are onto this now, even streamers:

@Adamonic That video is a bit misleading as he explains in a later tweet. All the aiming and the the amount he has to move the stick is player controlled. He can just feel when the aim assist kicks in and use it, and it definitely isn't as easy as he makes it look as my efforts would demonstrate (I would've liked to have got into a portal server to get a test but the game wouldn't have it, but that's another issue).

There is a setting that will snap when ADSing but in all honesty it's very weak, unless it got a massive buff (I've not used it for years so wouldn't know). It will aim at the nearest limb if you are a bit of target, I'm talking cm here not something you'd see in single player games where the game aims for you. The same person has a yt video explaining that lots of times it will hurt your play as much as help it.

@Ironhead841 as seen with other parts of the game, there is definitely a skill gap, which is impossible to overcome.

All you have to do, is put up with it until they screw it up for console players with the next update.

To compensate. YCC 2:2:2 can fix that issue but, you’re just canceling it out because of the compression. YCC isn’t considered a overlay but will still negatively impact your performance. YCC should only be used for resolution priority.

No it does not. As long as you have 512kbps available you shouldn't be seeing any added benefit of extra bandwidth. Bandwidth, ping, jitter, packet loss are independent. It's the last three that really matter for gaming.
If you are on PC you can monitor bandwidth usage by connection. When I've done this in the past for Battlefield I recall seeing typical usage of around 100-200kbps. EA lists 512kbps as the requirement.
Also 45Hz means 45 cycles per second. Or 22ms. In other words if you are running at 45FPS you are generally getting a fresh packet for each frame. You are not getting 45 packets 'per frame' (assuming you are running 60FPS that be equivalent to a 2700Hz tickrate!)

@AngrySquid270 Its quite obvious to you I made a mistake on that part, I did not mean 45 packets per frame 😂 that would be outrageous lol
Thank you for the correction.

@Adamonic I play on ps5 and there isn't a difference. Some streamers have claimed its actually worse and while I won't go that far the aim assist on console is FAR weaker in 2042 than in BF4, BFV and BF1 for sure. Personally I hate playing against PC players...maybe they should implement something like a server browser so that both sides can play against their native players...just a thought.
