iLiCS80 You don’t have a clue either because consoles would see the same improvement if they could force matchmaking the same way. Their menu toggle does not work like the PC config method and it does not force the same matchmaking conditions. The smoother feeling comes from how the server behaves in those reduced-load lobbies not from the absence of console players. And OzzLink Battlefield does not run its matches on PlayStation or Xbox-hosted gameplay servers. Once the match starts everyone is playing on the same EA server so platform handshake or session sync is not what causes in-match desync.
The config tweak is still an unsupported file modification and EA can treat it more seriously if they decide to because it does alter how matchmaking behaves. There is currently no official approval for the use of it. It forces the game into conditions EA did not design or support which puts it in breach of their rules on unauthorized modifications. So if you choose to use it that's on you and you will have to accept anything that happens to your account because, it is a possibility. I am not hating on PC players for using it I am only pointing out there is a risk and you should wait until they add a toggle if they ever do. You are creating unrealistic conditions that a menu toggle would never produce and that alone is enough for EA to treat it as a rule breach if they choose to.
iLiCS80 Here is your “delusional chatbot reply,” since you wanted one. The smoother PC-only lobbies you’re talking about have nothing to do with consoles; you’re creating abnormal matchmaking conditions with a configuration tweak that EA does not support. That isn’t better netcode, it’s you breaking the matchmaking system and misreading the side-effects as proof for your argument.
Yes, you are right Mr Brad, have fun ! and before you bestow more wisdom on how this game works without doing the bare minimum QA on it as suggested here's my answer to you: Because of people like you that know little about how networking is and works we the PC players cannot have a good game, just because EA catered to console peasants such as yourself doesn't mean you have to come here and reply to something that doesn't even concern you at all. You want a more detailed and technical answer, sure let's talk about it, butt in more without actually doing some real work here then I shall treat you like the delusional chatbot that you are.
So far, nothing you’ve said supports your narrative. If you’re confident in your explanation, then back up the claims you’re making and give the detailed factual proof, show me im wrong. If you can’t do that, you don’t have a technical point just assumptions and more insults.🤷♂️
