Community ManagerI get latency errors and the black bar still. I noticed if I use public dns it happens more frequently, if I put my isp dns and quad9, opendns, or google dns with isp as primary and one of those three as secondary, I get better ping, and very rarely encounter the server icon error, but even after going defcon 5 with my isp, and threatening to file a fcc complaint, they have updated the entire infrastructure at this point, and I have the personal phone number of a NOC for my ISP. Pathing is showing me now that my one bad hop is fixed, and it is server sided. I have experimented with several windows, network, nic, and highly aggressive scripts to the registry. I have had to reformat my pc multiple times trying to solve it. My OS, TCP, NIC (hardwired) are optimized to the max I can go with perfect stability. I have a pretty high end pc, but still constantly get the black bar popping up with Lat Var being yellow 9 to orange. I’ve seen the yellow and red server warning. NOC dude called me today, my entire neighborhood infrastructure got updated, balanced and optimized, I can say with certainty now, it’s not on my end. I’m either getting randomly connected to wrong or bad servers, or something along those lines, because I have games that are amazing, I’ll exit for a smoke break, and when I return, I find the really terrible servers.
I feel your pain. I have basically spent a week of my life messing with settings, my home network, reinstalling drivers. Ordering an external network adapter, mesh wifi hubs, router **bleep** and god knows what else. My game ran absolutely fine until the recent update that addressed networking and now my game is absolutely unplayable. I have followed so many different guides and connection trouble shooters and its just broken. Helpless!
Its game code not our internet connection or hardware. Stable fibre connection here and top gaming PC but having desync like in no other game. On top of that some game mechanic pull my aim away from opponent when i have to get kill, instant deaths much faster than opponents weapon TTK, totally screwed opponent sounds even after this last patch... DICE Implemented idiotic mechanics like bloom or scripts that prevent players with good aim to win fights, deliberately introduced desync just to some llayers NOT ALL to save blind bats from quitting the game. I hope gready and devil worshipping EA will bankrupt.
You should know that DNS has zero effect on gameplay. Once connected and playing DNS has already served its purpose.
