Hit reg issues, TTK vs TTD inconsistency.

I would also normally say that the turbo kill is at the 150ms at the end of the video. But my experience is that it would have happened the same way with 15ms.

Here's an example from just now:

How to play BF2042 like this?

Here is another scene:

I count at least 3 hits and the opponent still has 65hp. Is it wanted like that?

I can second this. I also had such moments in the game. Now at least I know it wasn't completely my fault.

@EA_Aticthey are somewhat correlated though. If you have fast TTD but slow TTK, that is a huge problem. That means you are sending more data to the server than you are receiving from it on the enemy player.

It feels like lag compensation is too generous for high-ping players. 

@EA_Atic

I suspect this is all related.

Sick and tired of players just appearing out of thin air it’s getting just silly now!

Is having a cloaking device a premium exclusive or can we all get it!

TTD Fast

TTK slow, way too many bullets to kill, all with hit markers:

Start with 31 bullets, down to 9, only one kill, 22 bullets, should easily kill 2 players with that many hit markers.

I've been a Battlefield player since day one. I've played BF2 for ~5000 hours. But now the time has come: I throw in the towel. I really don't know which community the developers listen to? I don't seem to be part of this community.

Nah man it ain't just you they ignore just about everyone, unless you're a Youtuber/streamer and even then the only time they seem to actually  engage with anybody is on Twitter not here in the "official" forums.

Apparently these forums are just a way to keep the peons and peasants distracted, I mean are you not entertained?

There are several posts on here that are 5 months old or older without even an acknowledgement that they are even looking at the questions or issues being raised within them.

I was hoping for an official answer: "Yes buddy, your Game looks totally weird. We as developers have to do something about that!"

Facts:

1.) I want to play!

2.) I can't play like that!

3.) It was 6 months no problem!

4.) WTF

@Adamonic you're probably right about lag compensation punishing low ping players. Battlefield 1 has a special lag compensation setting to help out low ping players.

It says, "Enable if you have low ping and other players are jittery." Does bundles bullets count as jitter? It might!

I read about how lag compensation works. It time travels high ping players into the future. It's weird stuff. Playing with a high ping can feel smoother and give you increased reaction time too.

...and that's exactly how MY BF2042 feels.

I am 0.1 seconds in the past
and or
My opponents are 0.1 seconds in the future

It's crazy and frustrating.

What I always notice:

1.) When I push around the corner with a low ping (~12ms), it seems as if the opponent has been waiting for me for a LONG time. They just sit there with their visors up and kill me very easily.

2.) When I play with high ping (70ms to 150ms) it seems like the opponents are completely surprised and everything feels right.

It's not normal what dice is doing to us.

We should not be penalized for having a low ping, especially when we can't choose the server we play on. 

Ok friends, try the following:

Windows 10 + 11

1.) Download TCP Optimizer 4 (https://www.speedguide.net/downloads.php)

2.) Run TCPOptimizer.exe

3.) Then select "Optimal" below and click on "apply" (do not set anything else!)

Note: If possible set the LAN settings to default (Device Manager) and do not use tools such as "Asus GameFirst" or "Intel Killer". You can download your LAN driver and uninstall the current driver from Device Manager and reinstall the Lan driver. Then it is 100% on standard.

4.) Reboot the PC

5.) Regedit

6.) Go to: Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Multimedia\SystemProfile

7.) NetworkThrottlingIndex = 45 (decimal)

8.) Reboot the PC

9.) Tell me about your experience

As soon as I set NetworkThrottlingIndex to "ffffffff" the game is unplayable!

PS: I played a round and didn't see any of my squadmates. So I went to see what they were doing...

Today it finally went well again.

That's a very good point actually.

I wish I didnt feel like they saw me before I saw them

X-Box-Players can definitely see you earlier because it was programmed that way by DICE.

Why?

To compensate for their disadvantage (artificially).

Is that fair?

It's a slap in the face for all PC gamers!
