Any tweaks for netcode?

[EvilZom]

I have always wondered if I was the only one that seems to get what seems to be netcode lag while playing multiplayer...

Or it seems that everything makes a tiny jump like every 1 second in equal intervals... seems to happen worse on servers running AI... I notice it when players are running while youre trying to get a shot on them... they jump forward every second a little bit... or vehicles or planes...

is this processor or server lag? and are there any tweaks for it...

I get consistant 50-60 fps and Im usually on a server that I get a 30-50 ping... and I still see this..


It seems that the only people that claim not to have this are the server owners themselves cuz they dont want to admit that it could possibly be from their server... or its becuase they dont have it cuz they are sitting on the server's lan.

anyone? or am I just crazy?

They always jump around in the distance for me, apart of the game I believe.... not sure if its the netcode causing it or what...

It's because the server sends you information where the objects not owned by you should be. When you get that information with greater delay, the "correction" jump required is greater, thus you'll notice more and more jumping the greater the delay between you and the server is.

There can be some kind of prediction code in place which tries to guess where the objects should be going, while you are waiting for the information, but it can't be completely accurate, thus the jumping. I am not sure if BIS uses prediction, but I think it makes sense they do.

It's made worse of course when the pieces in the network (server, client, connections) are not working fast enough.

What is the point in this game if theres always going to be lag? Everyone I've played with experiences this and it makes it unplayable I think. I heard there was a setting on the server side that limits the bandwidth given to each player. If the admins knew of this and increased it the problem would be solve. Its just a rumor I heard so don't quote me. Otherwise Bohemia should fix this game or give us all our money back.
