Is it just me or have these issues gotten exponentially worse since the 3.1 patch?One round I can go 34-6 and the next round can't hit the broad side of a barn, I'm shot around corners, behind cover hell sometimes behind a mountain, it's nuts.I get that there are going to be good rounds and bad rounds, but I mean I literally can't kill anybody in some rounds, like I'm shooting them little Styrofoam peanuts or something.I'm no "pro-gamer" but I sure as hell am not a slouch either so it's not a matter of "getting gud" something is off with EA/Dice's servers.And I hate to sound like a broken record, but a proper server browser and persistent servers would sort this out a lot faster than this voodoo matchmaking crap we have now.Anyway, share your thoughts and hit the "Me Too" button if you're having the same experience.

To make it short, i'm pretty sure the problem is on the crossplatform netcode.I won't talk before season 2, game was quite a mess...But in season 2, even if hit reg wasn't fantastic, the game was going on the good direction.Since season 3 it is going down again. Weird deaths after reaching cover, feeling one shot killed at medium range (50-80m) by some weapons that shouldn't, etc, etc. Players feel cheated by the game too many times because of the responses they have on their screen.My PC is not especially young... I7 7700 and GTX1070 for 1080p all low it works. And i have great internet, fiber optic no packet loss and ping at 12.I'm sure i have no internet problem, and i see people with more advanced hardware with the same issue. And the same issue affects consoles too... It's not hardware related.I'm seing a huge increase in the return of console vs PC war, how many "stop crossplatform" or "aim assist is broken from PC receiving end" subjects in this forum ?We didn't had those problems in BF1 and BFV. Dice state the aim assist is at the same level as previous. Soo why players feel cheated ? And worse, both sides (controlers and M&K) feel cheated.With a friend we laugh about the "Xbox cheaters" since season 3... Of course we don't believe they are cheating, but from the receiving end, the shots are miraculous and it seems to be insta death on some occasions (it's not consistent fortunatly). If Xbox players feel the same from PC players i understand the hate. Curiously i have far less issues with Playstation when killed, this increase my suspicions.I think all those problems of TTK vs TTD, aim assist "too powerfull", "all PC are cheaters cut the crossplay", etc, etc, comes from the crossplatform netcode.All players who played with crossplatform off are saying the same, the game is really better. I did it with friends (hard on PC most of the time matchmaking don't find a game, congrats Dice). But when we succeded, waow, it's night and day.Try it by yourself you'll notice the difference with your first shoots.I'm not a programmer, but i'm pretty sure this is where devs should look to solve all those problems.

@Ironhead841It's really inconsistent at the moment I experienced exactly what you said yesterday.One round was fine the next round was quite frankly laughable and I actually had to quit a few rounds, it was that bad. ☹️

@Ironhead841 when an EA Creator mentions it, they respond:https://twitter.com/oliverCAndersen/status/1602054046499717121?s=20&t=RLNe7Yb1TgW8lmJfciZukQSo at least they are aware of the hit reg/TTK/TTD issues. Something is going on.It feels like it is related to Crossplay/Aim Assist related. There is extra math to do related to aim assist that must be messing with the net code.

@Adamonic Yessir, I agree 100%!I have NEVER had this kind of inconsistent gameplay experiences with any other Battlefield title, and I own and have played them all except Hardline.It is either the matchmaking is crap, or the servers are just that terrible, period. I guess it could be both.As I said in my original post, I firmly believe this could be resolved with a server browser and persistent servers just like every other Battlefield game prior to BF2042 had.

Apart from the "too many players" thing (I couldn't even hope to count the number of times I've spawned directly in front of a player/vehicle that is already shooting at something else and therefore me), this thread prerfectly captures what is wrong with the game.I was playing on Exposure tonight. At the stairs up from the tunnel at the C flag, I saw a guy who was prone pop up, shoot half a clip to my right, then duck back down. They were shooting maybe three metres to my right. A while (it felt like at least a second) later, I just died. To that guy. By the bullets they were seemingly firing at someone else.How can the developers expect that the game will last when this happens in 4 out of 5 games? It's fortunate that I don't care about my quit percentage, because at the moment it's approaching 90%.

Same here as well. Some games its spot on. Others I just give in after I get too frustrated.

Experienced the same as well. Hoping something gets done about it.

@Ironhead841 Did you check your ping? With matchmaking it can vary widely from round to round.

@Ironhead841 Having the same experience, and from observations, the majority is Xbox players, a few Playstation, and some PC. I had a guy last night kill me 4 times from the other side of a hill on Manifest, and could not even see me. We aren't talking a few feet and lag, more like 100 yards down the other side. Other games I do ok, but I agree, the problems have exponentially increased.

In general, I play on server with 20 ms ping on PC. I'm not that great in hopping around and getting headshots, so in best case I get 15 kills in one round. I lose 75% of all 1:1 even with better suited weapon for situation and enemy survives with 1 to 7 health - obviously one of my bullets was not counted/registered depending on weapon. If I surprise 2 to 3 enemies, I get one, but the second one turns around and gets me we two to three bullets (at least this is what I hear). No chance to get 2 or more in a row. Sliding and diving behind cover does not seem to have any affect on the enemies getting me with 2 to 3 hits in 90% of my deaths.
Sometimes I’m placed on a server with >100 ms ping. I win 80% of 1:1, I can get 2 to 3 enemies in close proximity in a row, and suddenly sliding and cover provides protection.
This is just frustrating. It seems that netcode/server decides by some balancing algorithm/mechanism based on ping and platform who gets the kill.

Yes, it's usually in the high 20's to low 30's pretty consistently the TN (Time Nudge) however can vary widely though, when the TN is low, I seem to do ok but once it hits double digits I'm screwed.

It feels like it is related to Crossplay/Aim Assist related. There is extra math to do related to aim assist that must be messing with the net code.

"when an EA Creator mentions it, they respond"
Yeah, funny how that works huh?
Whatever the "issue" is, I really hope they get a handle on it pretty soon.
It has been wonky for quite a while but the 3.1 patch seems to have made it so much worse.

If you do too good one round they will nerf you the next round to make it a fair playing experience.
