Far fewer problems with no high pingers in the server. Very likely to have a great game even. But when the server is full of high pingers like they are early morning, when I get to play, you get issues. Big time. I don’t think there is any advantage , but I do believe high ping, fluctuating ping cause issues.
P.S. I don’t have any proof of what I said except for what I experience while playing. I think you have stated that you play at night, mostly us east and that you don’t see many high pings. When I play in the morning, also us east(I’m 2 hours from you) it is normal to be in a Conquest server where 20-30 players are oor high ping players and I’m telling you it isn’t very fun.
Not to tech savvy but my ping runs at 14 yet I have experienced latency as high as 1035 at times usually occurring between 1500 and 1700. Today is Wednesday yet my home screen still says Happy Saturday. I’m located approximately 45 miles NNW of Boise Idaho on Mountain Standard Time. My Xbox 1 S is a dedicated wired connection. Could this explain ghost kills, where I enter a well lit room that is empty then next thing I know I’m dead and someone is crouching in one of the corners or explain my rubber shovel that hits an opponent squarely and does zero damage? Forgot to add that I play on a high end Samsung TV
The empty room thing, and melee weapons made out of marshmallows. That is happening to me and my friends allso. And no one of us have pingspikes or packet loss!
Empty room issue, have been present since bf3.
If you capture the incident and slow it down frame by frame. Your going to see the guy cloaked like the predator, just before he popps in to the game world. I belive that issue is a rendering issue in the ps4.
The ping spikes is something we rarely see in Sweden. Unless we try to play wia 2g/3g mobile Internet.
In my area, the copper net is taken down, and have been replaced by fiberoptics.
The one’s not interested in investing in fiberconnection installation. Is mainly using 4g.
Strange and sad that you guys have such unreliable connections.
There is another thread that has identified that there is an issue with NTT.net in the Netherlands. Guy did some good research, I tested on my side too and saw that NTT.net is causing issues for people connecting to dutch servers from outside the country (Germany, HongKong, USA, etc.)
Like I said I’m not to tech savvy but one thing I do know is the situation needs sorted out and in a hurry. Experiencing the same issues this morning and another one that needs fixed is the hit indicator showing the direction of incoming fire. It’s so inaccurate that if it was a compass I’d get lost forever. I’m hanging by a thread as far as playing and really the only thing keeping me here is that I can play alongside my son in another part of the country other than that I’d probably wouldn’t be playing. It’s kind of a shame as the game is pretty good but the constant frustration is ruining it. Actually when I come to think of it there is another reason I continue to give BF1 a chance and that’s EA’s and DICE’s presence here in the forums. It was non existent with Destiny and Bungie and the reason I quit playing Destiny so I do have to give them credit for that
This thread won’t die until DICE actually gives the game the medical attention it so desperately needs.
If they continue to neglect and ignore the biggest issues, not only will this thread keep going(unless a mod locks it for some reason), but more and more players will stop playing. Even the staunchest DICE supporters(such as myself) will think long n hard snickers :trollface: before buying anything new they release down the road.
It saddens me greatly that they’ve just left BF1 by the wayside, rather than correct the glaring mistakes they’ve made.
I’m not even talking about the whole high ping/hit reg problems that plague most of you guys(although if that was happening to me every time I played I’d be just as pissed as you all are), as that’s a conscious choice erroneously made by DICE to attempt the impossible, but I digress…
The balance, matchmaking, the ridiculous loading times, unreliable server performance, glitches, and now, more recently, they broke the tanks by giving them all bulletproof paintjobs.
Top it all off with the apparent indifference exhibited by DICE and you have the BF1 fiasco.
Agreed. Sad how we had a Dice Dev in here, actively agreeing there was an issue and trying to make a difference…than nothing bu t silence, and a growing sense that the game is getting worse.
I wonder how much of our issues are ingrained in a faulty game engine. I still seethings (xbox) like killed by players that weren’t there, or the game playing the incorrect weapon sounds (killed by a tank shell but all I hear is a pistol sound).
I had a problem today playing in a server where I was hitting a target dead on right in front of me, just a few meters and there was no hit markers detected at all. They then would hit me with a couple shots and I would die. This is only the first time this has happened, but mainly because I don’t use handguns most of the time and this was an event for handguns only. Any ideas on this?
We all know that dice likes to put a lot of blanks in the magazine’s.
Like two blanks for every live round.
Until we can manually load our weapons with quality ammunition, there won’t be any change.
