BF1 Net Graph - Extr Offset Meaning?
I lag hard during multiplayer only, sometimes I don't lag for ages while in combat and such, and sometimes I get network spikes every 20 seconds for 4-5 seconds or more.
I'd like to know what does...
Forum Discussion
I've been searching all over the internet, and no one knows what Extr Offset Means. There is a video on youtube that explains the net graph in bf4, but extr offset is not listed in the game. I am getting really annoyed with how DICE puts out battlefield games and there's hardly any explanation to what things mean. I don't even know what the white circle means that ticks down when a squad leader designates a flag. It isn't the capture rate so I have no idea.
As with Extr Offset, it is the only thing that constantly jumps in relation with rubberbanding and lag issues. I am currently on a 60mbps connection, all ports on my router have been opened that are specifically for XBox live, and I am directly connected. I do not experience issues like these even in BF4 nor other games.
I did resolve the problem by re-installing windows...I guess that an app was blocking BF1.

@NoSkillAcea Thanks for the post. For anyone else encountering this, restarting with a Clean Boot then just playing the game without starting anything else may help, without necessitating the extreme step of an OS reinstall.

Extr Offset Meaning?
Hi 🙂
Stole this from reddit :"Extr offset is the same as server offset from BF4
Its the value of the client's synchronization to the server. When you have high offset it just means everyone else is ahead of you by that many milliseconds. But the delay is on the client side"
You see the gray-line across the networkgraph ? Everything should be under that for you to even have a decent experience .
Personal, I can't play on servers with ext offset over 40ms.. At that point hit-detection starting to fall off. A point to notice, is that while on the "spawn screen" (with map view), the extr offset will go over 100 ms.. this should drop as soon as u spawn in 🙂
To reduce Ext offset make sure no other programs runs in the back and that you have no package loss or buffer-bloat problem's.
Check here for a good quality assessment . To reduce buffer-bloat you need a router that lets you throttle your download a bit 🙂
