> [@mischkag](#): > > First of all we do not refuse to fix it at all. We focused quite a lot on making it very responsive for low ping players. High ping players have quite a hard time to actually hit somebody, have you ever played with 300+ms ping? We need to allow high ping players to still have a decent experience, but clearly favor the low pingers in many ways. Yes we gonna try to improve the perceived lagginess, particularly for the high pingers inside the low pingers clients. I understand the frustration, but its simply not true that we do not listen or purposely punish players or ignore the issues. Its just a very delicate balance, but again, we are actively looking into it and hope to improve it. You listen to your wallet, not your customers. This is a FPS. BF2 was fine as the netcode is concerned… To try to give a decent experience for people having a ping over 120 ms is simply foolish and prove how greedy people can become… I know what I’m talking about. ---

You have more accurate gameplay, with a lower ping. Less time to smooth. You have smoother gameplay with higher ping. More time to smooth. It’s literally just that simple, and it makes perfect sense, I feel your misinterpretation is adding to your frustrating. It does not benefit us to make sweeping assumptions. The network smoothing will be in the next patch, and is live on the cte. Go test it, stop with the knee jerk assumptions. ---

Ahh thanks for the info. I haven’t really been keeping up with the news about future test’s or patches. (Have mainly played r6s, and haven’t touched bf1 for a month or so) What response / judgment, did the 67% decrease get from the comunity? ---

Downloaded cte yesterday and wanted to put an hour or two on the std version tonight and then try cte…I have little understanding in most of the cyber issues (engineering, metals, hydraulics, pneumatics I more my gig) are quite Greek to me, I play one day at 25 ping or less and have great experience, play another day same ping and the whole game feels off and so if I find I am out of things that I can fix on my side I ask questions. Thank you for the simple explanation and that they are addressing it. At least knowing it is on their list takes some of the frustration out of it…you know one map going 8-17 and then on another server going 5-11 then play on yet another and it feels crisp and snappy going 29-8 followed by 32-5; had to jump off to get the kids ready for bed and then back to 8-11 - leaves me scratching my head. ---

What do you think of this one? My ping was 31-50 Took me by surprise so I just sprayed. Thought it was worthy of more than 22 damage though lol [![Video: Hit Detection](https://battlefieldforum.co/uploads/default/original/3X/3/4/3415ac33d8d24260a30e60df0f61cf3ed8d9e439.jpeg "Hit Detection") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HdSCA_jS72Q) ---

There has been a topic on this ever since BF4 where they turned aim assist into some crazy aim bot. It is impossible to play again people in any close quarter map with the aim assist since BF4. The biggest issue I noticed with aim assist off is that hit detection is off. Actual hit detection versus actual lag. With aim assist on, I’d say about 40% more of the bullet register versus without. I seriously got tired of losing all the close quarter battles that I turned it on. Turned it off again after reading this post, but I refuse to have to look for servers without AA because there is hardly anyone playing those servers. Whatever though. I did just as well with it off now then I did with it off before. I am not ruined, just making sure that I don’t let the crap get to me. So this is my way of dealing with this crap because it will never change. If BF5 has the BF3 AA, I will turn it back off. Until, I don’t mind becoming one of the handicapped for a while. ---

Would love to see some actual hard data to support the claim above regarding hit detection and aim assist. Should be pretty easy to do in an empty server with a friend either in CTE or the retail version of the game. ---

I highly doubt that AA, is making hit registration better. It’s more like it’s making you more accurate than anything. ---

Hit registration seems terribly off lately for me. Very inconsistent. High pingers create very extrange situations and look like servers run sloppy as hell. I dont know but the game and online experience seems to have been degrading. Im in PSN and have solid 45 ping conection… And Aim Assist. I have tried it and turned it on for a match. Disgusting feeling. All the control goes away. Had to turn it off again mid match. Aim Assist is to powerfull in BF1. ---

In bf4 I had the aimassist pulling my aim often, even though it was turned off. Haven’t had the aimassist turning on by itself in bf1. And I experience the opposite of aimassist in bf1. Often it feels like the game is pushing my aim away from enemies. I’m hoping for cod and insurgency to be good games. Until then I’ll play rainbow six. Its a lag fest.. But atleast its fun gameplay! ---

@misisipiRivrRat Are you guys turning off only auto-rotation or also slowdown? Slowdown is what pulls your aim off to other enemies, not auto-rotation (the latter is only the snap-to target function). Along with @mmarkweII I’d also be interested in some testing of aim assist and hit detection issues as others mention above. I have done extensive testing with it on and off and haven’t noticed any difference in hit detection, but I wasn’t specifically testing whether hit detection is “better” or “worse” with AA on or off. (Maybe @KingTolapsium has done these sort of tests, though.) I’m locked out of CTE currently but look forward to getting in with the next opening so I can put the game through its paces, especially the new changes such as prevention of damage and suppression stacking from high-pingers and the network smoothing. Has anyone tested the “fix to prevent late damage effects from lossy high ping connections” and if so how’s that functioning? ---

Well, it does actually. High ping players, according to the experts, do not affect other players’ experience at all. So, what is there to fix? If DICE are spending resources and using the CTE to fix nonexistent problems, shouldn’t we all be upset about that? It’s a reasonable question.
