Wow I'm in New Zealand and I can say this game is getting worse and worse. I get killed with 3 bullets and I empty out magazines. Or I shoot first die first 90% of the time. And worse of all I have a 1 Gig line. And Lag is so bad.
I'm in Aus, and I still have moments I go "get f***ed".. however, I did spend way too long trying to fix this issue at launch. I can say my WTF moments are down considerably, par ofcourse the usual BF moments.
I reckon a few things here might help you out. Hope it helps:
Easy / Most useful:
1) Use a wired Ethernet connection
2) Check for CGNAT and opt out if needed. If your ISP uses CGNAT, online gaming can suffer.
Contact your ISP and request: "GNAT opt-out" or a "static/public IPv4".
If your ISP offers a static IP or CGNAT removal option, do that BEFORE chasing dozens of smaller tweaks.
I reckon this is what fixed my connection packet loss outright.
3) Switch from an automatic DNS to known DNS provider, ie.
1.1.1.1
1.0.0.1
Medium Difficulty — router tweaks
1) Make sure UPnP is ON
2) Remove conflicting manual port forwards
3) Turn Flow Control OFF on the router
If your router exposes Flow Control RX/TX settings:
Turn RX OFF
Turn TX OFF
4) Set router Internet/WAN negotiation speed to Auto
If your router has an Internet Port Negotiation Speed option:
set it to Auto
5) Verify MTU
Check your MTU, especially if you are on PPPoE-based internet.
Bad MTU can cause:
fragmentation
packet issues
odd disconnects
inconsistent game traffic behaviour
6) Reboot and test
(If applicable) PC only - Windows NIC / driver / advanced tuning
Go to:
Device Manager → Network adapters → your Ethernet controller → Properties → Advanced
Recommended adapter settings:
APPLY > Reboot Windows.
EA don't give a Rats **bleep** about the issues. I had high hopes for this game and they screw everyone over. Fix the bloody game. Every time I play I literally have bullet register issues I watch the replays and 50% of bullets don't register.
The hit registration is truly laughable. I've had times where I will empty an entire magazine into an enem,y at point blank range, and nothing...nothing happens... but the enemy can hit me twice for ~50 damage total...and it kills me. Sometimes the enemy, at point blank range, with me holding down the fire button, will kill me with 6 shots before my weapon even fires once.
But the truly laughable part is that, in the technical issue section, there is a post from EA asking about Hit Reg, rubberbanding, etc, and its CLOSED because they "SOLVED" the issue. Clearly they haven't solved it and simply don't want to hear about the terrible hit reg any more.
