- YourLocalPIumber3 years agoSeasoned Ace@doubleome Could totally be me, but it looks like he took off his shield in the second picture. Can't see it behind the flash.

It’s there still, you see the impact.
But that’s prolly part the issue A happend but I see B

Isn't that a grenade on the ground next to him behind the wall?
- @doubleome At the risk of repeating myself, that's not how delay works.
That sequence of event happened on your client side application.
That's not how the server that arbitrate hits and the player A and B saw it. - doubleome3 years agoSeasoned Ace
@ugdpyYeah but in this situation since I wasn't involved in this fight shouldn't the server be telling me what happend exactly?
Assuming the server told my client this player killed this player, so his shield should have either been lowered or destroyed. So that means the engine translating this into animation doesn't line up with the actual events?
Doesn't that sound like somewhere stuff get's messed up? Since his shield was still raised. Not accurately, shots from other people are not accurately represented on your screen and that's been in battlefield since at least BF4 (when I started playing)
To address the broader topic of "netcode" in this game, the current system can be optimized, sure but that will not stop the things you are complaining about here.
The issue with "netcode" in online multiplayer games is that it's an unsolvable problem.
I agree that this generate frustration but I'm not convinced that it is unfair.
If you died behind cover from your point of view, the enemy player did not shoot you behind it, they did it fairly in the open before you jumped behind it.
You would have died to them anyway even if the system had no delays.
A better killcam system explaining what happened would alleviate a lot of frustration IMO

It's unfair to entertain high ping players when they can negatively impact a fire fight, and server stability.
Seriously
@777aTriXPeople with a high ping do not impact server stability, the issue comes from people with a fluctuating ping, and that's not going to give them an advantage, probably the contrary.
That's an accessibility issue, not everyone has access to a high quality fiber connection.I can tell you from many years of renting servers and administrating them (all the way back to BF1942, just for reference) that "People with a high ping do not impact server stability" is just factually wrong.
That's why we used to have ping limiters on our servers.
- @Ironhead841 Not on that iteration of the game.
