Battlefield 5: Developers have improvements for criticized netcode

QUELLE: PC GAMES

January 10, 2019 at 13:41 clock by Andreas Link - The developers of Battlefield 5 have found improvements for the criticized netcode of the game. Before Christmas, some weaknesses were analyzed and for a particularly gameplay-relevant comes soon a solution.

Shortly before Christmas, the Youtube channel Battle (non) sense analyzed the network code of Battlefield 5 and although DICE did not do a bad job, there are still some corpses in the basement, which must be salvaged for a better game flow. Problems arise, for example, players with high ping, which is compensated by the server only inadequately, because under ideal conditions, it runs quite well.

DICE has now responded to the analysis and promised changes. Producer David Sirland says that, among other things, there will be a solution that is currently being worked on by the players, who are particularly critical of the "Super Bullets". "Super Bullets" are balls that hit the server due to lack of lag compensation, even though they are already in cover. Here, the server does not provide a sufficient balance between the players with different useable Internet access.

For the "Super Bullets" at least there should be a redeeming patch next week. The update, like many other games, will be a form of lag compensation that you implement. Sirland also promises further updates to the network code of Battlefield 5, which addresses more problem areas. Since you can not create Internet in the LAN standard worldwide, the solution in the game must be done via tricks.

To play Battlefield 5, you should definitely have at least 1.5-2.0 Mbit / s clean downstream and 250-300 Kbit / s clean upstream and the lowest possible ping. The computer should definitely be connected to the router by cable in order to avoid further lag. If you have the option, you should also set your router so that it conjures the least possible ping from the line.
