Instant death

Lucky! Only since the patch?

It wouldn't be a proper match if 75% of my deaths didn't occur within 3 seconds of spawning since day 1.

Yes. This has always happened to some degree, as with most online FPS games. But I think it became noticeably worse in BF2042 with Patch 1.1 and again with Patch 1.2. Since Season 2 launched it’s almost unplayable for me: my bullets hit but cause little or no damage but I get one-shot killed all the time. (Not really of course - it’s down to lag compensation, but still very poor quality.) 

I play on PS5 and am in the UK.

It has been this way for me since 1.1, got worse in 1.2 like @EliteStarquake , and has incrementally gotten worse to now I get killed in a single server tick with a ping of 35:

This game is so fundamentally broken from its core and there is not much they can do. You can only undo so much spaghetti code. 

The netcode math still isn't adding up to 100 I see.

Yep the number of spawn deaths have increased alarmingly in BF2042 compared to previous BF's.

I notice it's particularly bad on the Stranded map (128 Conquest).

And you are not alone with this of course.

Reason why so many players unfortunately left playing this game, as its simply non-stop too frustrating versus the limited joy it brings...

Anyone notice the game playing different since the patch, I’m literally dying every five seconds and was never like this before.

I'm hoping that you mean figuratively and not literally in that regard. I honestly don't die that soon after spawning, if ever, unless I spawn on a squad mate and they are under attack [just not yet in-combat] or just bad luck

Can confirm it's happening to me also, deaths that I cant even react to, I also noticed when sniping that I hit targets and I see the blood animation from the enemy but no hit marker.
