Battlebug6 review

Netcode and servers

Hit registration (hitreg) : 20% to 60% of client-side hits are not registered against console players, compared to 5% to 10% against PC players (often),
Ghost bullets : bullets simply vanish (no hit registered on either the client or the server side) (often),
Abnormal damage :
- console players deal double damage (e.g. : two hits from an M320 or a sniper rifle with a single shot) (rarely),
- high-ping players (150ms+) and console players land 4 to 6 hits in a single frame (often),
Desync :
- taking damage half a second after getting behind cover (despite a 15ms ping) (often),
- players seem to have high visual acceleration when switching from running forward to backpedaling (without sliding or jumping) to dodge shots, which is disruptive for tracking (rarely).

Key inputs : forced to press the key 15 times to throw a grenade (the keyboard works perfectly) (often),
Input conflicts : character throws a medpack instead of shooting even though the weapon is in hand and left-click is active (rarely),
Post-revive bugs : keyboard and mouse inputs lock up (can't shoot, zoom but can jump, aim) sometimes requiring a full PC restart (rarely but too often),
Movement :
- character gets stuck on a simple step, but vaults onto a table without player input (rarely),
- penalty on jump peeks is too heavy compared to older BF titles like BF4/3, which excessively favors campers,

FPS drops : random performance loss of around 70%, fixed only via Alt+Tab (character systematically holds a gadget instead of the weapon previously holds upon returning to the game) (often),
Recurring crashes : black screen when quitting a match and crash on launch (1/8 frequency).

Visibility : catastrophic, giving a clear advantage to campers and headglitchers (always),
Invisible equipment : grenades and claymores are often invisible or visually misplaced (always),
Incendiary grenades : actual area of effect is significantly wider than the visual flames (always),
Audio : improved, but footstep audio remains poor overall (always).
