Issues since the netcode patch

Since the May 5th update (season 2), the game has suddenly become increasingly frustrating to play.  I used to be about a 3 K/D now I'm barely scraping 1K/D.  Im nearly rank 360 so I have put time into this game, and I'm telling you the last 10 days or so playing this game has been a completely different experience for me compared to the release of the game.

I no longer have any reaction time, in one one of situations, it's like I'm stuck in mud. I feel slow and clumsy.  It doesn't matter if I have the advantage, I shoot before them, it seems like  they don't even see me sometimes (on my screen), and all of a sudden all of their bullets register at once and I'm dead. There is some kind of delay I'm getting now.

Last night for example Firestorm I was aiming out of a ground level window.... 2 people were crossing maybe 80-100 meters horizontally by. I have the clear advantage as only my upper body is showing, and that is a pretty good distance. I killed the first person, then the second person seemed to instantly turn, all the bullets hit me instantly and I'm dead. There is NO way from that distance he should be able to register all of those bullets in me, with most of my body behind cover and I literally couldn't even react? Sure maybe he got headshots. but being that i was pre-aimed, aiming right at him, I never even saw him turn or aim at me.....it was like he was running sideways, BOOM im dead.   

i think everyone has experience netcode issues, dying behind cover, or some of what i have explained. But its just constant for me now. Its a night and day different how the game played ebfore May 5th and after.

The netcode fix is supposed to give people more reaction time, its given me FAR less. Its like Im playing delayed all the time. I don't know why or how the changes are affecting me like this but its seriously making me not want to play anymore (I usually play nightly)

This update Im talking about was a week before the season 3 update.  Now with the new season 3 update with random recoil, thats certainly not making things any better.

I've searched online and Im not seeing anyone else having this big of an issue since that update, so just curious if anyone else out there is in the same boat? because as it stands, its not like EA will be making any changes to this and I feel like thats it for me and BF6, im just getting far to angry playing now!!

    Its not us.  My internet isn't the fasted 80Mmbps, but its stable, and my ping is usually among the lowest in the server.  You don't need superfast internet for MP games anyway. Just stable.

    This literally started for me on the may 5th netcode update.  Its been miserable playing every night since. Just getting sh*t on by players when I have the upper hand. I don't even see people looking my way or reacting then suddenly it all registered at once and I'm dead. Whats happening on my screen is delayed. The TTK is all messed up, Takes me longer to kill while peoples bullets all regerster on me instantly.  zero time to react even at great distances. Last night I just quit and I might not play again until tuesday to see if there is an update.

    Same here. I mostly just die instantly. It feels as if every bullet fired in my direction hits me—like getting instantly downed by a shotgun. I have absolutely no opportunity to react. I get lasered instantly by absolutely everyone and everything. My ping is at 13 ms, yet ever since the last update, I’ve been constantly seeing that "bad ping" icon displayed in the top-left corner—even though the scoreboard clearly shows 13 ms. Yesterday, I was shooting at someone from a distance 150 meters with my LMG; he suddenly spun around and instantly fired back at me—as if he knew exactly where I was the very second I opened fire—and killed me from a range of about 150 meters. It is incredibly frustrating and simply inexplicable. It certainly wasn't like this before. But I’ve also had people who suddenly ran off the road at lightning speed—almost as if the game were fast-forwarding. All of this has been happening since the update.

  • I just wanted to follow up and say since the may 26th update it has instantly now reverted everything back to how it previously was for me.  I'm still getting some BS deaths, that still happens, but not nearly the same as before. Im winning WAY more gunfights and not feeling as robbed. My TTK seems better.  Honestly,  compared to how it was for me the last 3 weeks, there are times I'm getting kills I don't feel I deserve! 😂 So it kind of evens out I guess.

    So whatever they did on May 5th completely screwed things up forme, it was nothing my aggravation. The May 26th updated reverted everything back.  Whew!

     

  • idk, maybe I spoke too soon, as it's been frustrating to play this game again.  it seemed pretty "ok" for a few weeks.  It often just feels like a game of chance.  Like, server to server, you could have a good or decent game, but then way to many times you just feel like you are on the the other end of things like, you are some slow delayed dummy.

    I sometimes have rounds where I can do no wrong, I'm getting kills I know I shouldn't be getting.  Doesnt matter what gun I use, I will do well.  But this is maybe 15% -20% of the time maybe.  What seems to happen most of the time is I'm on the other end of this where I can have people running  in the open horizontally by me as I'm already ADSing at them, yet as soon as i start to fire, they suddenly turn magically lock on to me instantly, and somehow I'm dead.  Or in general like the TTK is WAY to fast, I have zero time to react, and this often happens at range (not always CQC) I will often look at the scoreboard to see the score of the person whos been killing me and often times their are negative k/d.....just a kind of player I know i normally wouldn't be losing gun battles to.  But when the server decides its time for you to be the whipping boy, nothing you can do about it.   Even when I out flank and position myself for better opportunity.  My bullets take more to kill, but i die all in 1 or 2 frames.

    There is just zero consistency.

    We all know what would help fix a lot of this, not just the netcode.   More spread on weapons, more recoil, less laser beam gun play, less gun velocity, longer TTK (if you look at past BFs bullet velocity vs this you will understand)..... and SERVER BROWSERS so we aren't playing with people 3000 miles away, but can play on local servers!  Its not rocket science.
