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 ...

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?

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.

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.
@OskooI_007 I agree. It's got to be a server side thing. Going back and looking at it again, I notice that some of the first hits to dmg are at server tick 0 instead of 99+ like it should be. Go back and watch and you'll see what I mean. Maybe it's the first hit that's missing? And then if that's the case the fact that the next hit is 0 is even more telling as you get hit twice in the same server tick....
I've been saying the whole time this feels like bad server/netcode. The other thing getting to me is the fact that this is all happening sub 40ms ping and sub 90ms ALAT...
@Echo6Echo Yup, the desync is in the server code itself or perhaps it's being caused by incorrect server-side settings.
Such as choosing a 45Hz network tick rate which doesn't evenly divide into the 60fps frame rate target on console and PC.
