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...

@Sc0tch_Whiskey It is still terrible today. For me it is when I am playing against a console player with a high ping. They are basically aimbots that are invincible. I have to reload after every kill because I need 20+ rounds to kill someone and I die instantly.
@Adamonic I have BF 2042 on both PC and xbox series X, and the high ping players are a nightmare for both console and PC, and it is is both ping ping/latency PC AND console players that laser me for insta-kills after I put 10 bullets into their back and they somehow turn and kill me with an smg/assult rifle before my console/PC even begins to register any player damage to myself. The curse of my 40ms ping is they 150ms to 350ms guys can melt you 15 feet around corners...which is funny as back in the day, high ping got you killed, not low ping. It is beyond silly, to the point I had to unload the game until either Season 2 arrives or I read it is fixed in patch...
That said, how can they fix it long term as I suspect the change was due to player count death spiral, so local servers with low ping players isn't an option 24/7 as not enough players exist to keep the servers 1/4 human player occupied.
For example, the game is so lacking actual humans late at night, I got a 205 kill round in 128 player conquest on Exposure in a stealth helicopter (I took a scoreboard screenshot if Dice wants to confirm)...so we might as well play offline with 100% bots as that is what late night has turned into at present...and I'm guessing daytime will fast follow...

I shoot someone:
He can run for cover. He can hop around. He can shoot back. He can eat an entire magazine.
Someone shoots me:

Tell me why?
Unfortunately still there. No change from before this patch. Hit reg and lag compensation were not addressed. Still worse than Minecraft.
Games absolutely broken for me with a huge 20ms ping…..the game must be only for cheaters and triple digit pings….never seen so many headshot deaths in a game ever!
Back to uninstalling and back to literally anything else

It is sad to hear so many players are leaving the game because of this critical issue.
DICE really need to address this matter urgently and apply a hotfix.
- @RayD_O1 I have a feeling it got worse after patch. Apparently I struggle to kill anyone at all.
Yesterday i witness it from the opposite side. In de map exposure B2 i was on the ledge above the platform when a player tried to shoot me in de back from +- 5 meters. turned...he kept shooting at me...i geve one burst and he died. He must have had a rage from exposure to wake island.
As long as EA/DICE run the game with so few servers worldwide, then they obviously also do not put restrictions on how high a ping some of your fellow gamers on the same server connects with.
Hit registration will always be bad as long as you have enemies with high ping in the game.

- @GrizzGolf You was the one I've struggled to kill? XD
IDK, either my fingers and eyes degraded overnight or hitreg got worse for some reason (or maybe I just pay more attention to it now).
Really thinking to get VPN just to increase my ping to match those "pros". - @LlamaWithKatana Is that how the streamers do it? VPN? Because I watch some and they never seem to have hitreg issues.
- @Sc0tch_Whiskey might be stream itself clog their bandwidth. Otherwise I have no idea rly. It never helped me rly so rerouting might more reliable option.
- @LlamaWithKatana I just asked a streamer who is live right now if he has hitreg issues and he said he doesn’t see an issue for himself. So either he is one of the lucky ones or he knows something we don’t lol.
- @Sc0tch_Whiskey or maybe has in general higher ping since we already know that mostly low ping players affected.
- @LlamaWithKatana That is very true but. I forgot about that.
I bet....
1.) The game is designed for 100 ms
2.) Lag-Compensation (or other parts of the netcode) are set differently on the platforms

Cleared out a few comments out of the topic, this is not a complain about everything thread. Focus on the topic is regarding Hit reg, TTK vs TTD conversations.
Lets keep it to the topic.

Hi @TeiIzeitREKTor, the video you uploaded is a good example of TTD being very fast.
One thing to note, if network is good one day and bad another, it means majority of the time the routing of your network are hitting bad hubs towards our servers. (I see this in all games)
/Atic - @EA_Atic after patch it got even worse. Both hitreg and TTD. I died from SFAR-M in under a second from full HP. Even with all headshots (which weren't the case since it is not in kill feed) it is way too fast for that gun. And my ping below 15 most of the time and below 20 all the time. Depending where exactly servers are hosted I live few hours (in average) from em.
- EA_AticHi @LlamaWithKatana, video examples of it would be great. If you have Nvidia card using shadow play can make it a lot easier
/Atic - @EA_Atic I will try to capture today such moments but yesterday was really bad in this regard.
Also I hope you saw and passed the info about season badge. I'm almost level 70 but have only 602 points in badge progression. Each game I get at least one token but for the whole 4h of BF yesterday I've got 1 or 2 points of progression for badge. - EA_AticBadge not tracking as it should is a known issue. @LlamaWithKatana,
Main topic here: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/Bug-Possible-Season-1-Badge-Not-Leveling/m-p/11597641#M17704
/Atic My issues most definitely started after v1.0.0 that stated net code improvements for all guns.
In reality it’s made my 20ms connection feel like a 200ms connection and it’s not playable due to one bullet deaths constantly and deaths literally seconds behind cover oh and my bullets turning into marshmallow’s.
It’s very clear EA has got rid of load of servers so to compensate for players that now have higher ping the lag compensation has been increased but at a detriment to the local players game.

What are you going to do about it?

I wish it were a routing problem.
I have a subscription for...
1.) NordVPN
2.) CyberGhost
3.) Exitlag
All so I can play BF2042!
- EA_AticHi @TeiIzeitREKTor, let see if we can figure out what that issue is, can you make a new topic here: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues/bd-p/battlefield-2042-technical-issues-en
If its from one game to another, something else is at play. Is it high Ping in one game or is always the same ping?
I'm now not talking about TTD or TTK, sounds more like network issues if you have to have VPN to play.
/Atic - @TeiIzeitREKTor Does that help a lot? The three you mentioned?
