Since the hotfix I’ve been one shot headshots from full health and I’m not talking about sniper rifles. Almost called hacks on one guy today because of it until it happened again this time from someone else. Having watched the footage back it seems that a group of shots are all being registered at the same time. Being a bf4 player this was a huge issue and was down to the tick rate on the servers or more commonly mentioned as ‘netcode’.
Anyone else having this issue or heard someone mention it before? Hugely frustrating being on the receiving end and alot of innocent people are getting falsely accused because of it. I’ve also had times while sniping that I for sure got a headshots and even the audio beep to go with it but the damage just doesn’t register. Incredibly frustrating.
Instant death since last patch.
This was introduced with the final Summer Squash Patch I believe. Animations and feedback indicating damage can be delayed.

Well I’m sure it’s got worse since then. I usually play alot after updates and then take a break for a few weeks because I get bored and this is the first time I’ve come across this. I’ll have to try and record some more footage to be sure of what’s going on whether it’s tied to the fps or the network but the game isn’t as fluid as it once was.
Commonly known as high ping.
lately, the game developed an unhealthy tendency to open servers for US West and filling them with folks from europe and australia.
maybe thats a reason, happend to me a couple of times.
The MOFO update or the security update after the MOFO update is the cause. There’s input lag and then the issue being talked about here, which I’m not sure what to classify it as.
It makes the game essentially unplayable. It’s by far the most irritating thing I’ve ever experienced on a game.
@RazielWarmonic This is what I was talking about before. Sadly, deleting my config files didn’t stop the input lag. It appeared like it did at first, but I only played for 10 minutes, so I wasn’t sure. I’m not too sure on all of the technical terms. I just know this is very annoying and difficult to play with.

I don’t know about that. I don’t see many Australians playing in U.S. servers. They might if no one’s online in AUS. European players pop up as well,but it doesn’t cause what’s described here. Not in my experience anyways.
Crossing fingers for a fix soon! Gonna try to reinstall DB.
High ping and packet loss have and always will cause issues but DB handles pings up to 150ms well IMO. I have had issues with damage feedback and animations since Summer Squash.
Input lag is a different issue entirely and was introduced with the MOFO update.

Quickjoin does/did that. and then everyone’s at +150ms for the sake of the 2 ppl the game opened that server for.
In my case it wasn’t ping related, at least by what the scoreboard showed. Pings ranged from 16 which was mine to 50. I’ll have to see about making a video to show that I’m dying in literally one frame. Max health to zero with a shot from a blishlok on a pheonix, just doesn’t make sense to me. What ever the cause it needs attention ASAP and if they decide to do a Christmas even and not fix this then I’m so done.
