Dice, you need to be more transparent
What is going on with this hit reg? What are your design principles for the network? Apex had an article explaining their design philosophy regarding their networking. While I completely disagreed w...

@RaginSam Oh and the 45hz servers do not help at all. That’s a major contributing factor. It’s still ridiculous that they rent 45hz servers.

This honestly is so much of the problems with this game. If we could just get to 60Hz, it would feel like night and day. Just to serve last-gen consoles, that was the max they could go (normally 30Hz for last gen, so they hedged between 60Hz for PC and 30Hz for last gen). That is also why things are so weird for crossplay.
I would love a Portal option for 60Hz that excludes last-gen consoles. That is all I would play.

This game doesn't feel better than Apex Legends which runs on 20 hz servers and that game is "competitive." I doubt EA would be willing to invest in better servers on a game like Battlefield nor would it provide much tangible benefit even if they did.
I always wondered about this, 20 Hz servers running better than 45 Hz servers. What did DICE do to the game to make it so technically challenged?

I'm not sure if Apex is a great example either. It's a BR and it has hit reg issues as well.
60hz would definitely improve the feel of 2042. People who play games like CSGO where you can have servers ranging from 64-128, players claim they can feel the difference. The higher the refresh, the more accurate the game will feel. The cost is that it takes more CPU power for the player.
It's a complex issue, one that I don't have a deep understanding of. Big companies will have a person, or even a team of specialist working on just that element of a game. So I don't think it can be reduced to just increasing the server tick, but it would definitely make the game feel better. It's just not everything.
Next BF is coming up this year or next year. Vote with your wallet.
I think many people would not like to see the return of cross play. (I am on console) Vote with your wallet!

What makes less sense is that crossplay with old gen consoles doesn’t play with new gen and PC. New gen and PC could have 60 hz servers which would not affect the older generation consoles. It’s already separate, so we could have 60hz, I think it’s been a money decision by Dice. Or they just didn’t realize how f’d it would be on 45. With this dev team it’s hard to guess if its poor decision making or incompetent decision making.
