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...

I did resolve the problem by re-installing windows...I guess that an app was blocking BF1.

Community Admin@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.

That's a decent advice you gave there but would it be possible if you'd answer the initial question posted? :D
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 🙂
