Hit reg issues, TTK vs TTD inconsistency.
Just left another game for the same reason as i left the last 3 games. you can shoot a whole clip on an enemy, well aimed, only getting 2 or 3 hitmarkers, the enemy turns around, 1 or 2 bullets and i...

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 futureIt'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.
- @OskooI_007 time to clog my bandwidth with trash then.At least I'll get equal experience as others.
We should not be penalized for having a low ping, especially when we can't choose the server we play on.
- @Adamonic One can dream. But lag switching is a thing for a long time now.
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.
I wish I didnt feel like they saw me before I saw them
- @TeiIzeitREKTor best representation of the game RN. Especially with Hind on the picture.

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!
- some other video on topic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2hYCeRijkM
- @DuaneDibbley That first hit with the shot gun tells you all you need to know to the devs. About hitreg. And the look on his face was hilarious!!!
- @Sc0tch_Whiskey
Exactly. This is so bad and in that case (with shotgun pellets) SO obvious how bad hitreg is.
But also: both players are STATIONARY, so ping should not matter here at all.
Furthermore, Enders got hit by the guy that was still facing in a completely wrong direction.
@EA_Atic please confirm that you saw this video and agree that this is not intended and being looked at.

My words are slight different and i go full throttle voodoo
- @Mackstan71 Since he is a YouTuber maybe dice will listen. You and I say something and they just laugh and don’t care.
- @Sc0tch_Whiskey True that
https://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion/Hit-Reg-still-a-massive-problem/m-p/11598145#M115572
I continued testing.
NetworkThrottlingIndex = 70 (Decimal) or 46 (Hexadecimal)
nVidia Reflex = Off (in game)
My best results so far.
- @EA_Atic
Another nice example of how this often looks like is this part here (from the same clip): https://youtu.be/r2hYCeRijkM?t=315 the games just not worth playing anymore
I thought the hitreg on exposure was bad. I just played kaleidoscope and manifest and OMFG!!!! As much as I like some of the older maps, if I cannot play exposure it’s not worth playing for me.
Said it ages ago that it shouldn’t matter how long you have played the game for a refund because one simple patch like this can make it unplayable and ea/dice should be made accountable!
What they have done is made it more playable for high ping players and a lot less playable for low ping players and that’s completely unacceptable.
I won’t forget ea/dice and I will be reminding people about this game when your next instalment is due out!

And that's exactly what i am gonna do also.
What you see is NOT! what you get!
- @Mackstan71 You can say that again!

That sucks for us PC player
@GrizzGolfI would like to see some evidence of that but it wouldn’t surprise me if it’s true.
It really did feel like you was a second behind everyone else and my ping was only 20ms lolThere are some serious desync issues present in this game. I'm sure this leads to many hitreg failures.
Look at this example. where two players recorded there output and syncronized them to the same timestamp for play back. The player is in a completely different location/position vs what the other player is seeing. We're shooting ghosts.
