High-Ping Advantage and Netcode Issues on European Servers in BF6

1. Ping limit (quick and easy to implement)

    

2. (Dedicated) high-ping lobbies (if you don't want to exclude anyone)

   Playing on EU servers with 8–9ms is PAIN.

20 years ago a 200ms ping was considered ok for most CS lobbies.

This isn't 20 years ago.  The vast, VAST majority of players have sub 80 ping.  A large majority still sit under 100 ping.  Rarely does a normal, non-cheating player have over 120 ping.  Normally of course, spikes do happen for SECONDS or less.

120 ping should be the cutoff.  

And yes, using VPN or spoofers to join outside of your region is cheating.  I understand the asia region is unplayable due to the amount of cheaters, but that isn't my problem.

1. Getting shot well behind solid cover due to high ping players(FALSE): This is also happening when all players' pings are under 80.

2. The OP assumes that all Asians are from China(FALSE) : not everyone in Asia is Chinese, and lumping all of us together is an unfair generalization

3. Everyone I played with in Gauntlet knows that I could not get many kiils in scrim lobbies compared to public lobbies. Based on your assumtion, why my KD plunged while playing scrims even if I have high ping advantages?

4. The reason you wrote this post is Asians are around the top of the scoreboard by exploiting their lag compensation? : Please come test that ping advantage against Asian server players yourself. If you don't know how to join servers in other regions, DM me if you want to test it. I will invite you to my party and play in Asia servers.

The only thing I can agree on your post is "fix the netcode adjustments"<-- To your opinion

"plus" if there exists high ping advantages. <-- Added my condition

the asia region is unplayable due to the amount of cheaters (FALSE)

Asia servers do not have enough people so every match is filled with bots anytime.

I hope I will meet real people who are using cheats in the game. At least, they are REAL PEOPEL, not BOTS.

Many Asian people pointed out that there is structural problems in BF6 matchmaking because minority servers are almost filled with bots. This never happened in BF 2042 whose CCU was much lower than that of BF6.

The answer is simple: Fix the matchmaking. In the Korean BF6 Community, many people are saying they really want to play on their local servers that has much lower latency. If the matchmaking worked fine, most of the players whose ping is over 100 will return to their local servers as they played BF2042 without playing on servers in other regions.

This is more important. Using VPN is not the only way to play out of the local region. If you have any friends from various regions, then you can join the party leader's local server.

I disagree with the claim that there aren't enough players in the Asian region. If that were the case, I wouldn't be seeing at least 10 to 20 players with 150+ ms ping in literally every single EU server I join. The high number of high-ping players proves there is a solid active player base, but they are playing in the wrong region.

However, I do agree with one point: the matchmaking system is deeply flawed and needs a major overhaul. The developers must fix this so that everyone is forced to play in their own respective regions with players under a 100 ms ping limit. This is the only way to ensure a fair experience for both Asian and European players.

No, this isn't something to agree or disagree with.

Even in prime time (10 PM (JST) 10 PM (KST) 9 PM (CST)),  there are full of bots.

You can see the bot-filled lobby in the attached screenshot during the last prime time.

This server's lobbies have been like this ever since the game launched, and players have found their own way to deal with it.
Why?
Because they bought this game for PvP, not PvE. What you're seeing today is the result.

High-Ping Asians appear in NA/EU servers because they could not find real people to play against around the game launch, not because they moved to other servers in local regions.

Don't fall into the trap of reverse causation.

this situation is not merely a perception or a fabrication of the players; it is a structural network mechanic explicitly acknowledged by the Battlefield developers (DICE) themselves in their official patch notes, blog posts, and community technical discussions from the past to the present. The DICE engineers managing the network engine (netcode) of the Battlefield series have officially admitted multiple times the issue where high-ping players can shoot low-ping players behind cover (Shot Behind Cover). If high ping did not offer an advantage, DICE would not have been forced to implement restrictive code into the servers, such as 'High-ping players must lead their shots.' In the game's raw state (or for those playing with a borderline ping of 100-200 ms), the lag compensation system operates so tolerantly that the high-ping player can literally kill the low-ping player by 'shooting the past.' It has been mathematically proven how the Lag Compensation engine validates the data on the high-ping player's screen. Please, let us not comment based on assumptions

Where is any referrence on the topic? e.g. mathematically proven? by 'shooting the past.'? Shot Behind Cover - Why this happens even in Asia server which has no high ping players?
AND
How could not I almost get kills while playing scrims? In public lobbies with my buddies, I won 1st or 2nd place, but this did not happen in scrims at all.

Plus) where is my assumption? Sceenshot? The reason asian local people moved to other servers? 

Playing with high ping doesn't automatically give you a built-in advantage. It only becomes an advantage once you understand how to play with it—and that’s when it gets nasty.

Take an extremely fast weapon like the SCW10 and play as fast and aggressively as possible. A player with 150ms ping wielding an SCW10 can dash around a corner, spot a low-ping player (under 10ms), and gun them down before they can even react.

From the low-ping player's perspective, it looks as if the high-ping player rounded the corner at 1.5x speed, knew exactly where they were standing, and landed every single shot.

It’s absurd.

With a standard playstyle (playing slowly at times, standing around a bit), you hardly stand a chance with 150ms ping.

There should be ping-based lobbies:

1ms to 60ms

60ms to 120ms

>120ms

Then everyone can have some peace of mind.
