EA/DICE Increase Server Tick Rates

Why can't we have these settings in AOW as the official server tick rates and in Portal as customizable settings?

For servers up to 24 slots, tickrate should equal 144Hz


For servers up to 48 slots, tickrate should equal 120Hz


For servers up to 64 slots, tickrate should equal 60Hz

For servers up to 128 slots, tickrate should equal 45Hz

My assumption is you went with the lowest common denominator in 45Hz due to 128 players and/or because of last-gen consoles. The other server tick rates have been available for previous titles (BF4 from a decade ago), and STR is listed as a network statistic, which implies it can be changed. I think we have gone long enough with bad hit reg and lag compensation with 45Hz servers. 


These should be the default settings in both AOW and customizable in Portal. At this point, the players that are still playing deserve as much.

    Pretty sure the tweet from Florian stated that last gen was at 20Hz, so it seems DICE can adjust tick rates independently.

    Good post, very informative and anything that can be done to improve hit reg / lag compensation should be given priority.
