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’m dead while i was reloading. dice/ea, this is a core issue in an fps game. Plz fix it cause it makes the game unplayable. I’m not the only one having this problem. Its frustrating!! Makes me wanna t-bag someone this is gameplay of myself not getting hit registration. You can see for yourself ea/dice: https://youtu.be/MabBr7jyXN4 (changed the name of the topic to the reflect the conversations better) - Atic

How to fix that people have ping differences from a few ms to several seconds? I imagine they try these things in a controlled environment at Dice, and therefore release the game. Because it has worked for them. But how are they going to compensate for everything and every possible connection that people have in the world. Take a lag switch for example, how can you compensate for it? Don't want to believe that it's just bad programming, because then everything should be the same class.

@SomberAlmond7 The solution is..... more battlefield 3 and bad company 2 maps instead of stupid unrealistic new maps.

@Mackstan71 Once in while i still have some issues but nothing compared to what it was a year ago. Back then the game was unplayable.I jumped back in season 3 started to play rush and i must say i'm having fun with the game. when you're in a good team with a good squad i feel like i'm playing bf3 sometimes, and bf3 was the best fps experience i ever had with a game.It still has a long way to go but i think the next battlefield game will be 100% better than 2042...

I started this thread a year ago, and i must say that the hit registration problems have been fixed (ps5). I no longer have consistent problems and the game is playable.So thank you for fixing this issue!

Agreed @cornybbq2 ,This is a massive problem for most of the players still and needs urgent fix for the game to be worthwhile coming back to and play it more...One of the reasons for the bullet sponging we are many to observe may be to the fact that EA actually have not set up sufficient servers in proximity of the players geographic locations. Ake for what we have heard feedback on so far: No servers for South America, no servers for South Africa, no servers for the Middle East, no servers for ANZ, no servers to cover the Asia Pacific region Singapore, India... (think though we have servers in Japan?).But as EA/DICE have very conveniently removed the function for us to have any server browser in the game, we dont know with absolute certainty our own latency to the server we may be thrown onto and we have zero visibility either to the latency on the players also on the same server...We do however have some insights into the current state, as aka in the Portal we can see the latency to the various Portal servers that we have ability to join for our gaming experience. And here I have aka many servers in the 120-180ms range, and some even much much higher than that, namely above 180-200ms (I am based in CET region). With such poor connectivity quality, then bullet sponging is a consequence.

@EA_Atic

Not sure how to figure out the actual ping (the game shows either 12ms or 13ms, but it NEVER fluctuates and I am pretty sure this must be a fake value -- in all other games I have 8ms to sometimes over 20ms ping, but for BF2042 I just get one value 12ms (or 13ms) -- can't remember seeing any other value -- and it is fixed over the whole duration of the round).

In any case, if the game servers are located in Frankfurt (I am playing from within Germany), I should definitely get a ping <20ms.
Playing on PC (high specs), at 4k resolution with medium settings (some high, some low).

The problem is It is so obvious that I guess even bad or average players should notice the problem. But for good or at least competitively minded players, that actually care about their impact on the progress of the match, this is really frustrating. You see your cursor ON target, you know the bullet hitting the enemy but the other player seems to have infinite health.

And then you get shot in what seem to be one bullet by weapons that would require many more.

You mentioned: "you are having also activated the new network settings " -- what 'new settings' should we have activated. You reset our settings often enough that I have to go though everything over and over again and I did not set any 'enable better netcode/hitreg' option. So, what have I missed?

@Mackstan71yeah and for me, it is only 2042. I can go back to BF1, BFV, 4, 3, etc and it is fine.

It has to be a setting or lack thereof causing this. I wonder if it is impacting PC, PS, and XBox the same way or just one more than the others. I am on PC.
I'm on pc also..BF3, BF1, BFV, last 2 CoD and other shooters..no problemo even with a higher ping.

@DuaneDibbley by network settings i mean Network performance settings we got a thread here about it.

Tldr: it will show your and the servers network performance with a various different stats.

If killing and being killed works better with a higher ping (thanks to VPN) than with a low ping, then something is wrong with the game. This is the most disgusting lag compensation I've ever seen. It's a game killer.
Good VPN = CyberGhost (but I live in Germany)
Edit:
1 Server for all of europe, parts of asia and africa. It just can't go well. please think about it.

@EA_Atic Hmm ok thx. I am wondering if it occurs more to those with low ping because our updates are going out more than updates coming in. At least that is what I see on the network tab.

Players that are having issues, please enable your network stats:
https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues/Update-1-0-0-Network-Graph/m-p/11544075#M25284
Then when you are having this issue in-game, note your ping and any PL you might have, then post in here with that info and the platform you are playing on.

We need to determine if this is client or server-side and if there are any settings that can remedy this condition. Is it mouse/input lag, network-related, front end, back end, etc?
Some players don't have this issue, would be curious to know what their info looked like too.

I would also try to record some gameplay, but for me, this is bugged. I am running Nvidia Geforce Experience to do the live capture and unfortunately this insists on capturing one of the other monitors but not he one the game is running on. I tried to figure out how to select the monitor for live capture, but usually I get a video of my Teamspeak and Browser window in the screen to the right and not of the actual game.
If someone has a hint on how to fix that... ;/

That's less of a hitt reg issue more of a TTD (you getting shot) vs TTK (shooting a person) @TeiIzeitREKTor,

Where hit reg issues are when you are shooting a person and you can see the shoots land on the player but don't register or damage them.
