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...

3 known issues added to #Battlefield2042's fix list 🐛
🔸 Irish's APS-36 Shootdown Sentinel cannot block Lis' G-84 TGM.
🔸 XP indicator shows 0/0 in the game menu.
🔸 Match round start cinematic: Some players immediately crash into the ground/objects if deploying with aircraft.
So happy they put there focus on these and specially the 0/0 in game menu issue and not hitreg and stuttering. Thank you Dice!!!!
It still feels like my bullets are made of rubber. I had to switch to a weapon with a bigger mag so I can at least kill 2 players with one clip before having to reload. That has helped, but man, why should it take me that many rounds (with hit markers) to take someone down when I am dead almost instantly when shot at?
- @RaginSam Just had a match and it was the worst ever. I couldn’t kill a player if I was two inches away. When will a true dev fix this if there is any left for this game!
150 ms in other games: Catastrophe
150 ms in BF2042: It's starting to get playable
How can DICE employees sleep at night?
Played: ~40% of the round
- @Adamonic Played last night (Jul 12). First round felt slow, ended up 2-12. Next round, went 21-4 and it felt way smoother. How can that even be explained? How can one round be shooting popcorn and swimming in mud then the next round is 3 hit kills and running normally. It’s been worse since the last patch. My past games I was a consistent top 15 with about 18-17 kd (I die lots pushing points). It’s the inconsistency that irritates the F out of me.
@ATFGunr
Sometimes it's like this for me: I start the game. In the beginning I'm only 1-shot-victim and my shots don't seem to get through. After 1/4 (sometimes 2/4) of the round, I suddenly don't fall over as quickly, but my opponents do. Then I can play really well.
BF2042 = visit to the dentist (or urologist)A quick update on Time Nudge. I found a YouTube video of someone on PS4 showing TN increasing with packet loss on outbound packets being sent to the game server.
What this means is my past statement about time nudge being the same as extrapolation offset is wrong. Extrapolation offset increases with inbound packet loss, not outbound.
TN appears to be a server-side buffer for game controller inputs being sent from clients to the server. So if time nudge is increasing it means there's a connection problem with outbound packets being sent from your PC to the server.
Everything I said about extrapolation offset is correct and still applies to BF4-BFV and 2042, but I was incorrect about time nudge being the same thing as extrapolation offset. Time nudge affects outbound packets and extrapolation offset affects incoming packets. They're two seperate buffers and I probably would have caught this if I still owned a copy of 2042 and tested it before posting. Oops! 🙂
YouTube video showing time nudge increasing when there's outbound packet loss.
This Overwatch netcode slide shows the time nudge buffer at the bottom. It's a server-side buffer for incoming game controller inputs.

- @OskooI_007 I had that same thing the other night in a container that was being moved by a crane. When I moved inside, I teleported to the ground. When I tried to then move away, I popped back into the container. This went on a good 5 times popping back and forth. I was about to quit when it suddenly sorted itself.

I also agree it has deteriorated since the recent patch whatever they changed and it certainly needs addressing asap.
Last night 7/13 was one of the worse nights I have had playing. The hit marker would show me landing 6-7 shots without the player going down. They were 1-2 hits and would kill me. I played 5 rounds and finally gave up. The night before on the 12th felt good and I was doing my normal 20ish kills 10 deaths
- @ATFGunr All depends how many high ping players are in the lobby.
@Sc0tch_WhiskeyAnother thing we all forget with this issue and why it needs to be fixed asap is we cannot determine who is hacking or not.
@Sc0tch_WhiskeyIt’s working as intended nothing will be fixed.
Shutting down tons of servers due to low player count means many players now have no local servers so more lag compensation is needed.
More lag compensation was introduced in June 6th update v1.0.0 but they just call it netcode improvementsThis is exactly when my 20ms ping felt like 200ms ping
- @emerson1975 I fear that this method is going to be the norm for most multiplayer games going forward, which is going to suck.
It is so weird that an online gaming experience is worse in 2022 than in 2012. - @Adamonic Yep it’s been going in this direction for some time now.

I had a similar experience last night, not sure what changed but something was going super weird.
Emptied an entire clip into an AI player right in front of me, nothing. Then they single shot me with shotty. My network is solid, average about 15ms to 2042 servers (Oceania).
Another way I know the TTD vs TTK is off, I have way more assists than kills. My bullets don't kill anyone, but I am killed instantly. They need to reduce the lag comp and add a Server Browser.

Yeah I had exactly the same experience earlier today, seriously like none of my bullets were registering at all on two different rounds of Exposure.
Tried one more round and as if by magic it was fine again and hit reg seemed on point, go figure. !
My ping ranges from 20 - 25ms, I am based in the UK.
