I'm reluctant to invest in a router though as friends who ran with a NetGear NightHawk (I'm assuming this is good? 🤷♂️) during BFV had the same problems I had.
If it was a problem across any other game titles I absolutely would, but Battlefield is the only game to consistently give me these issues.
@BFB-PraetorianMy setup has (almost) no bufferbloat (A+ according to dslreports), stable 21ms ping, no packet-loss etc, but I'm having the same issues with insta-deaths, killed behind corners etc etc.
The game has issues that no matter how good your connection are.
BFV had the TTK/TTD-bug that was never fixed and older titles were not perfect as well (BF4 has horrible netcode).
Bufferbloat is mostly a problem when multiple "clients" are using your internet at once (streaming video on a tv while gaming etc), especially with slower internet-connections (ADSL, 3G). If you are the only one using your internet while gaming it shouldn't be a problem.

BFB-Praetorian,
I am disabled Veteran and I am the only one home during the day when I play BF 2042. So your comment about playing 2042 while watching TV and gaming is BS, sorry only thing I could think of. I don't watch TV while I game and there is nothing else on my internet. The issue is with the game and EA why won't anyone in EA take ownership that the game is broken, plus allowing cheater to continue to play on the game. There is an old saying "Don't * down my back and tell me it raining". I went into the military to protect the rights the people of America, not the greedy millionaires at EA ......

With the game going F2P on PS, it now really feels like they have added something to the game for new players. I have never seen so many Level 5's running around like Medusa. If you are in their FOV you are instantly melted. Then when you do get the jump on them, no amount of hit markers kills them.
I just can't tell if there is some type of game mechanic that is doing this or if it is just the terrible netcode.
They really need to go up to 60Hz instances and see if that resolves some of these issues. - 3 years ago
I have played for a week on PC and uninstalled.
The aiming for other players seems to be snap to target, sticky no recoil aiming with high damage bullets on full auto instant death within 3 hits from anywhere up to 500m.
The disbelief when you die, see the killcam and they have killed you from 150m+ on auto, my auto at 5m does little if nothing.
Don't even understand my aiming to explain it, the only way I can is that single round weapons of all kind work, once I go to an auto forget it, I might get a kill if I am lucky but a whole magazine will probably result in my death and them on anything from 1%-100%.

Dynamic Difficulty Adjustment they are using this right now in 2042 because it is play for free weekend. They are using this to sell the game. This should be illegal!!!!
Just grabbed this from youtube comment
