Doesn't matter if I get first in a round the netcode makes it a horrible experience nonetheless, constant one shot, no chance to return fire ever the netcode makes everyone seem to be a e-sports pro playing hardcore gamemode....I play the game I shoot the guns I know it most often takes more bullets to kill someone especially further away targets, yet when I have turn on the damage indicator and 9/10 people haven't missed a single bullets according to the delta tick before I die.Seems especially bad this week compared to last week

Welcome to 45Hz Land where everyone has a crappy online experience. Select 1 for Insta-death, 2 to get killed around a corner, 3 for one shot, 4 for an invincible player, 5 for an invisible player, 6 to view every other frame, 7 to play with players with bad pings, 8 to wait for players again, 9 to join the same map, and 0 for quit.

The net code has always been suspect as Dice created a game that requires connecting 128 high and low ping non-regional players across 3 different hardware platforms via a MM (Match Making) system that has an outdated 45Hz server side tick rate.Yet Dice seems to have broken the net code way worse with Season 1 patch changes...and I'd guess the net code changes became necessary due to the lower player counts available to fill the MM system.Basically players complained about "Waiting for X Players", hoping to get a server browser in AOW. Instead Dice found it easier to twist the net code into oblivion, which only exponentially increased the player count death spiral...🤔

@Echo6Echo yeah I'd get killed once I made it to cover, but a few "inches" behind cover. In this wreck I can be 5 feet behind cover for half a second and still get killed.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Only 5 feet, I wish...🙌How about getting shot by "magic bullets" from a high ping Xbox player standing at the bottom of a ladder located 5-7 feet around the corner, as I was on the third step 3-5 feet around the OTHER side of the corner. I post this photo too much but I just can't wrap my mind around how crazy the net code lag compensation "Time Machine" changes after Season 1.How is my 40ms ping feel worse than my 300ms latency for another game I play with gamers on the opposite side of the globe???...👿 I was literally talking to the screen in disbelief so time to uninstall from the "BattleField Matrix Infinite Multi-verse"...😬

I tell you what really fries my bacon, is the same narrative over and over...I've usually got a ping under 40ms and the ALAT is usually around 85-100 or so...one of two narratives happen.1. I get hit once and immediately try to move. There is a very perceptible pause and then I get hit again and die. The damage log may or may not add up to 100. Most times not.2. I begin firing at someone. I get two to four hit markers, possibly one of them a headshot, then suddenly I stop getting hits, get hit once or twice sometimes getting another hit in myself and then I'm dead, meanwhile the enemy is at 56% most times sometimes more. It's like a broken record. This happens regardless of the weapon I use and the damage log rarely shows 100 damage. and then there's the weapon stats. How can the DM7 be listed at 65 firepower, the SVK at 70 and the VCAR at 46, yet all take the same amount of shots center chest at 50m? (3 hits and why is that when it shows 70, should be 2 right?) How about the well felt input lag any time someone shoot at you? The whole game is a broken mess of false weapons stats and balance with crappy net code and bad hit detection that favors people with lousy connections and crappy computers over those with low pings and fast PCs. I've NEVER had this bad of a hit detection/Dsync issue even when I used to play on a 3M DSL with 380K upload while someone was posting a Facebook video chewing up all the bandwidth...I want to like this game, I really do, but it seems to be designed at it's core to * you off, demoralize you and make you want to kick your mouse and give up.

So they have found yet another way to make people quit this game all coming down to knowingly making a bad game in the frist place.Now the experience is terrible for everyone. Do people with higher pings have a better experience than other like was the case in bf3?

Try to disable crossplay - that is a first thing to try ! This alone helps a lot. And yes - harder to get into servers and you have more bots in - but this huge delay - this not hitting where you shoot makes game unplayable.
Disable crossplay makes game playable - but 128 player maps is hard - you get constant spotted. I have mixed experience with the breakaway map - some times I manage to get 10-10 k/d other times I'm crazy lucky (must be) and get 20-5 - but I hit what I shoot at - no delay. Problem is that everyone know where I'm at all the time = spotted constant - but that is same thing for all players in the game - soflam, rangers, sentry guns - soldier spot and what else - no such thing as stealth and sneaking up on someone !
The ping limit thing is still a problem - fear that dice think we can have 300 ms players and 20 ms players on same server !

Hahaha funny one @Adamonic ,
Sadly of course, because it resonates so well with our gaming experience in BF2042.
Personally I appear to have the trouble of several of my keys being stuck.
So I suffer from 1, 4, 5, 7 and 9 ! All at the same time. ;o)
And only resolution have so far been the "0" to quit, before my PS5 controller ends up as a permanent implant into my living room wall in pure frustration.

@CyberDyme what is sad is you can experience any of these with a great ping, which should not happen. The game is not optimized in any way for a solid ping. Instead it caters to bad pings with terrible lag compensation. The tick rate does not help with fast TTK weapons either.

Exactly right @Adamonic ,
I have myself a 16-18ms ping to the European server, but facing far out of region enemies in the game with pings in the 800-1,600ms range.
What to do?

Yeah I also have low pings on EU servers 19 - 25ms range, sadly it seems to be more of a hinderance rather than a benefit these days. ☹️
