BF netcode is truly, truly BS

Thus happens every game. 

I have an average 16 to 30 ping. If I 1v1 a player with higher ping feels like I'm fighting the server. I see myself having to put one or two more shots into a player. 

I count my shots I know what range a it will kill and the amount. 

1234 move 1234 move. But on higher ping players it's 1234...5 ,123456. Takes one or two extra shots to down.

There are times I will be shot by an enemy player looking sideways or even away and you can see his rounds come sideways or even out his back.

Take downs are the same I will get the input I press it my player with do the takedown animation but the enemy can pull away and kill me while I'm animation locked.

Packet loss every game. If I'm seeing Packet loss mostly an enemy players are next to me somewhere. 

Now I alot of players with 50 to 150 ping. Funny that it's 50 to 150 that's when peakers advantage starts. 

Also enemy players with 50 ping or more sometimes/ most of the time make no sounds until you die. Or they insta kill you.

It has done nothing but gotten worse. 

I have hundreds of clips of this stuff happening I will upload some. Not to mention the crazy amount of visual and audible bugs. 

One of the worst examples I can think of went like this:

Someone is running down the street, maybe 30m from me. I shoot them, get a few hits in, and they take a right and disappear in a side street.

It’s hard to accurately time what happened afterwards, but I know I had time check damage, to feel disappointed I had missed one last shot, wondered whether to follow or head elsewhere, and started moving my aim away. I know humans can think quite fast, but it was a significant delay.

And then bam, I got my kill cross. The cross appeared where they were just before making a right, their body was far away from that corner.

My understanding is that that my shots are resolved on my computer, then sent to the server for validation. Maybe my packet got delayed, maybe the server took a long while to decide, but whatever THEIR ping was, stable connection or not, would not have made a difference: I got them in the street, server agreed, if belatedly, and signal is sent to tell them they’re dead, It must have felt like crap.

I don’t know how other games manage to resolve these issues more efficiently, apart from having more servers. But having been able to compare the game on low ping (when ME servers were still a thing) and high, the difference is night and day. It’s mostly painful for me, but once in a while, I’ll be ruining someone else’s day… :(

I actually wonder if the net code is really getting worst, or if we’re more aware.

Certainly in my case, the game has slowed a lot, it used to be a blur but I got used to the pace. That window example I mentioned I would not have noticed 5 months ago, I would have just thought I was too slow and my opponent faster than me. Now I can see the event did not make sense timing-wise, I can actually tell the missing 200ms or so.

It’s especially true for hitreg: the whole thing felt so fast I could hardly tell if I had been aiming properly, it was easy to blame my gameplay. Now I see my aim more clearly, and I can tell when bloom may be a thing or when really the misses are nonsensical.

And of course, as we see examples accumulate, it feels a lot worst.m with time.

Anyways, I’m not defending, just pointing out that human bias may contribute. It really does not change the fact DICE needs to do better. 

I’m seeing very similar behavior, but under controlled conditions (low latency ~20–30 ms, stable FPS, no packet loss), so it doesn’t seem tied to poor connection quality.

I’ve posted a clip in another thread showing:

- Delayed damage after shots clearly land

- Death occurring after reaching cover

This lines up with what you described, but suggests it may be more related to server-side timing / hit registration consistency rather than just high ping scenarios.

Would be useful to know if others are experiencing this even on low-latency connections.

In the beta it was good.

In season 1 it was hit and miss

In season 2 it was borderline annoying 

In season 3 it is a dumpster fire of unadulterated trash...

yes this is defo a thing it happens to me all the time

💯!! All this happens to me too! Its infuriating. Im tired of getting shot through solid concrete structures! And my shots aren't registering.i hear them hit, and then I get annihilated and my opponent has no damage.

it's like playing counter strike 1.6 on dial up internet

It seems to get worse everytime they say they fixed something somehow
