Netcode/HitReg and how it ruins DMRs (videos attached)

Plenty of posts about netcode and hit registrations so I won't delve further about TTK/TTD in general, but I attached a few videos where it is too obvious to ignore. You can also see I have debug displayed on the top left.

Netcode is a severely wide spread issue but it's not always obvious because the server missing one hit from an automatic weapon may not be detrimental given the rapid fire nature would quickly follow up another hit that could register. In cases like this we may feel it took a bit longer but we could attribute to weapon inaccuracy or bloom. However, DMRs are about precision, missing one hit through the scope is obvious and can often be a life or death situation. This essentially renders DMRs unreliable in head-on engagements where each hit is like rolling a dice.

BF1 and BFV didn't suffer from this even where most rifles are semi-auto like DMRs. BF4 and 2042 had grave netcode issues but I don't recall being this unreliable. Either way, hopefully it's just the beta, but I hope the devs take notice and alleviate this issue on launch.

    Im not seeing netcode issues in the videos, im seeing you just missing shots and you aiming good but still missing bc of bloom/spread from firing too fast or shooting while moving and or standing up. I can clearly see the bullet impacts on the ground and walls or tracer rounds missing the target most of the time. The bullet spread was bugged on some ocasions tho so that didnt help much either but its not the net code/hit reg.

    I feel your pain watching these videos, I experienced the same problem. They need to fix this before launch, this is atrocious. Should be their #1 priority right now.

    Hi NoOnionsPlx​ 
    Watch your first bullet :

    You can see for yourself that the video revolves around the character. I will present them with red crosses.


    Same here : 

    And more... 😄

    vonChizu​ you right, it's just bullet spread and more statistic.
    Have great day
