Can somebody from developers explain in to details DELTATICK? What that numbers mean? Lower better? Higher better? Why some damage have red color? If higher worst from which number you can say "that its problem" - 50 ? 99+ ?
Thanks
DICE TeamThere is some info in game @hambaci_kuranger
Red means you received a headshot.
High number means more time has passed in frames.

so for me that graph don't bring any useful information? I just can know from this only how much bullets or times hit me and how much damage every bullet deal?
The damage graph is for people experiencing insta-deaths due to bundled bullet damage.
Video recording the insta-death with the graph up will allow slow motion playback of the video to troubleshoot the issue.
I dying many time instantly like in one frame or first bullet or couple meters behind cover (I'm on 1Gbit/s fiber)
Too like situations when I just peek in half second for spot someone then hide and I received damage like crazy or die instantly from any gun.
In many situations is impossible react to enemy fire so I have on this only two solutions.
1) Throwing grenades as much I can. Simple spam.
2) using VPN for get higher ping and then "replying" on enemy fire is possible (if you don't get headshot)
On the issue of damage logs, I replied on a couple of other threads that the log makes no sense. I put together a short vid of clips taken of the log. Here's the breakdown:
1. (0 to 12 secs) First Death, against bots (notice the insanely low ALAT). I took this as a "baseline". Kill log adds up to 99.78
2. (12 to 18 seconds) Second death. LAT = 37 ALAT = 78. Kill log adds up to 99.79
3. (19 to 26 seconds) Third death. LAT = 36 ALAT = 80. Kill log adds up to 88.03. Notice I was hit for 3.91, then healed to 100 before taking the next damage.
4. (26 to 33 seconds) Fourth death. LAT = 36 ALAT = 82. Kill log adds up to 83.88
5. (33 to 40 seconds) Fifth death. LAT = 38 ALAT = 131. Kill log adds up to 86.94. Notice that CountryBoy get the last damage in the log, but Firestorm get credit for the kill.
6. (40 to 49 seconds) Sixth death. LAT = 34 ALAT = 130. Kill log adds up to 77.96.
7. (49 to 56 seconds) Seventh death. LAT = 36 ALAT = 78. Kill log adds up to 100. HOWEVER, notice I'm wearing a plate before I get damaged. Shouldn't it take 120 to kill me?
8. (56 to 65 seconds) Eight death. LAT = 40 ALAT = 80. Kill log adds up to 64.02. I'm wearing a plate, so 120 again and it doesn't add up to 100 to begin with.
9. (65 to end) Ninth death. LAT = 36 ALAT = ~200 (it was in flux at the moment. Kill log adds up to 99.89, but I'm wearing a plate. Should be 120 no?
Can someone explain this a bit better? Are we missing info or frames from the server?
@Echo6Echo Good call on the missing info or frames from the server.
It appears the server isn't sending all the damage events to the client. Meaning if someone shoots you with 5 bullets, you'll only feel 3 or 4 bullets hit before you die.
It's appears the server is killing you before it finishes sending all the bullet damage events to you.

I'm also disturbed by the fact that a plate seems to make ZERO difference. Why even have it in the game?

That's how I'm feeling after using it for a round. I understand it shows how much damage and how much of it you received over time, but I don't think that's the problem. If it was a "super bullet" scenario then you'd get 100 dmg in one tick update? It feels different than that though. You begin to take damage, you get back into cover, then die.
I actually want to know what players connections look like. What are their pings? I watched the ALAT jump all over the place wildly. That's the average latency of the server?
So the server says I'm receiving damage correctly, but what I'm seeing on screen correct? Is what I'm seeing actually synced properly to what's actually happening?

We just discovered from Echo's video that the server isn't sending damage notifications correctly. Damage numbers are not adding up to 100.
What you're seeing on your screen is not properly synced with the server. For example, the server sees you get shot 5 times but only tells you about 4 of the shots.
@Echo
Armor plates are most likely making a difference and increasing your health to 120. Where things appear to be going wrong is the server isn't correctly sending all the damage events to the client. This is what's causing insta deaths.
Example:
You're wearing armor plates and have 120 health. The server sees you get shot 6 times which causes 125 damage and you die, but the server only sends you 4 damage notifications which only add up to 80 damage in the damage log on your screen.
