Battlefield 2042 Tick Rate

Actually he does not @carsono311.  

But it does give us some indicators at best...  😋

If @Maj_Meerkat refers to "BF2042 Tick Rate", as meaning Server Tick Rate, then the best way to describe it with the current meaning attached to it, is that it's generally the frequency that things update on the server itself.

Because when looking at multiplayer shooter games like BF, there are 3 tech values that are important:

• The Server Tick Rate (server simulation rate) - This is how often the server updates the game world.  And please note, that this is not how often it receives/sends data.  It is the frequency by which it simulates/calculates the data in the game world. This value has typically been 30Hz in recent BF games on console, some higher at 45Hz or even 60Hz.  PC have often been at 60Hz or even higher at 120-144Hz (sorry, not followed this tech recently, so not aware what latest and best have been for PC on aka BFV).  Such Server Tick Rate cannot easily be changed or just turned up at will, as many things in the game engine and interdepending infrastructure rely on this value.
• The Client to Server Send Rate - This is how often each client sends an update to the game server. This is the value that was confirmed to be 45Hz during our Beta.
• The Server to Client Send Rate - This is how often the server sends an update to your game client on your local platform. This value was also confirmed to be 45Hz during our Beta.

By increasing the server to client send rate, we would see a more accurate and updated version of the game world.  However, it cannot be increased above the Server Tick Rate, as it would just be sending the same information twice then, if the the server simulation rate is just at the same 45Hz.

So it would be fair to say that the Server Tick Rate was most probably 45Hz or more during our Beta gameplay.

It could have been better and higher.  But we don't know for sure.

Actually in most past BF games, there we had a slower Server to Client Send Rate than the Server Tick Rate.

And I definitely hope that we will get minimum 60Hz Server Tick Rate on our regular BF2042 game servers.

EA, please do not go cheap on us here, as it directly impacts the gaming experience in a bad way if you do!  🙏
