Battlefield 2042 Tick Rate
Thank you for having a look at my question. I am hoping that someone could tell me what the tick rate of the servers will be for Battlefield 2042. I am thinking of pre-ordering the Gold edition, but ...

Hello, since Battlefield 2042 is out now since a couple of weeks and Chris from Battlennsense did not yet make a video to test the server tick rate was i looking for it myself on google. this threat is the first that comes up. I know in early Battlefield 5 days the server tick rate was 30 i think, and the community was complaining alot (getting killed behind cover etc) so they increased the tick rate to 60hz.
Now i read that battelfield 2042 beta had probably 45hz makes me solalal happy/sad, its still higher than competitors like pubg and call of duty who use 30hz tick rate, but i can still feel and notice the low 45hz tick rate in battlefield 2042 or am i wrong?! so what is now the actual server tick rate of battelfield 2042, i feel that todays servers would be fast enough to have 60hz tick rate even if there are 128 players nowadays. But it would come at an increase cost for servers. am i wrong am i right i dont know.
But i do know that some older and smaller games like counterstrike, has 92hz tick rate and unreal tournament has a tick rate of 120hz. let me tell you something, 120hz tick rate feels amazing to play at, yes i know there is only 10 players at once.
IS EA SAVING ON SERVERS, BECAUSE THE COMPETITION DOES NOT DO IT BETTER, OR ARE WE ALREADY AT THE TECHNICAL LIMIT?
Ran some WireShark captures and verified that the maximum network tick rate for both send and receive is 45Hz.
Receive rate from server = 45Hz
Send rate to server = 45Hz
I can understand why Chris from Battle(non)Sense stopped providing feedback. He's done all kinds of photoshop mockups with user interface improvements and netcode videos. DICE never implemented a single one of his ideas.
