So basically I was watching some youtube videos about BF4 and I came across a video about Netcode, and apparently to make the netcode better you go Option>Gameplay>Network Smoothing Factor>Set to 100%. So I did this on my PS3 and went on a Metro 24/7 server. I don’t actually know if I could tell a difference but I wasn’t getting and bullshit deaths. So does this actually work?
On my PC, yes it makes a difference. Way fewer “bullshit” deaths.
Yea it worked for me when I had 1.5 Mbps internet, I set it to 10% and noticed quite a difference. I just got 25+ recently but I haven’t played online so ill have to mess around with it again.
You add a further delayed interpolation so your clients animations don´t jump from lack of information.
it´s bad to use anything other than 0% if you have a good internet.
EXAMPLE OF HOW IT WORKS
Well I sure feel like a smacked ass. I thought network smoothing was for smoothing textures. I’ve increased it a few times just because.
This video explains it perfectly. Now maybe I won’t get shot by a sniper while I’m behind a metal cargo container. :-p
