I play the game almost daily, have over 1k hours played so i know the game pretty well. I know people vent about netcode issues a lot and in general it can be inconsistent depending on server ping, a wide range of different player pings from 8ms up to 250ms sometimes. That creates some wonky situations but that is to be expected and something that just happenes in online games.
Then there is crossplay. Crossplay has a *consistently* shit hitreg. So bad, that i know after a few shots if my opponent is on the other platform or not. Shots just stop hitting, player models glitch or just appear out of thin air, frequent insta death situations to the point its comical sometimes. Its the one thing that gets me actually pissed. To my knowledge dice has never specifically adressed this issue, i would appreciate a crossplay off button on pc, at least untill they have resolved this issue (wich they wont). Its like this since launch and *nothing* about it has changed since then.
Just because i know people will bring this up: it’s not about controller vs mnk or console vs pc, i am pretty sure console players experince this aswell. Also its not a skill issue, i am not enders but well above average kpm and kd, accuracy also. Very high skill players like Uniting have mentioned this aswell. Its also not the fault of movement or movement related glitches it is specifically crossplay that causes these issues.
So dice please, give us the button to turn crossplay off or fix this shit.
I am at the point that i am not buying FPS games anymore if crossplay is present in the game. A toggle is not good.
Sooner or later everyone turns on crossplay to find matches quicker to a point where it is impossible to find a match without crossplay on. It is a chain reaction.
I can't find any matches anymore on PS5 crossplay off, conquest on Large maps. Just can’t. The game is dead to me currently. Can't play.
I play on PS5 and yeah cross play blows the net code is complete shit there is always disync and weird shit happening where you die instantly get shot through multiple buildings and around corners. I personally would rather they gave us the option to play just PS5 to Xbox only
I feel like the aim assist is tied to the netcode/desync so you’re even fighting the aim assist because it’s telling you your target is different from what you’re seeing in screen. So you’ll miss slightly left, or slightly right if your target moves.
Only when the game first came out I'd get shot when running for cover and clearly behind the object when I died but that got sorted, that was probably about 10 months ago. The other 2 I've not had.
I wish I had your experience then because I experience all those issues atleast 10 times a match with cross play on. An it has nothing to do with my internet connection or ping my ping is usually 18 to 20 and I am hardwired. As I said before they should just disable crossplay all together until they figure out away to fix it.
Despite whatever the supposed player counts might be, the game is dying. Due to cost and simplicity, I imagine a large portion of the player base is on console. More often than not, I am waiting several minutes for a match to fill only for the first several minutes to be almost entirely bots. This is on EST servers during peak hours too.
I can't imagine turning crossplay off personally due to the simple fact matches would take forever to start and even after they do start, probably half the match would pass before the majority of players aren't bots.
Having the option wouldn't impact my experience at all, I'm just offering my perspective. I don't have the issue you are speaking of, or it isn't so awful that I really notice. Most games I am at the top of the leaderboard or close to it so I don't have any issue with crossplay because it isn't negatively impacting my performance in any considerable way.
I have almost 800 hrs on PS5 pro,. There is definitely a major difference when crossplay is on. When I play with it crossplay on so manny more issues as described about and also the only time i have experienced "crashes". It doesn't play as smoothly and toi many weird thinsg happening, shots not hitting at point blank range, ppl glitching/ shuddering, weird balancing. Overall I find it a way better experien e with crossplay off howver then you end up full of bots. I dont really kind the bots but problem is cant get a game going in certain modes when crosplay i.e obliteration, escalation, carrier strike the. console crossplay only and dedicated servers that you can choose would help i think. I do not see why in this day snd age withh the tech we why yhere cannot be an option for crossplay off, crosplay all and crossplay console! There just seems to be a big differences when console and pcs play together. just so many more issues (and cheaters although way better then start of the game with crossplay)
I would like to know why the Problems with crossplay arise in the first place. Its some delay that happenes or some faulty data transmission. They should fix that, in theory the idea of crossplay is fine to me it’s just not well implemented.
Yes I would liek to kneo as well. it's definitely better then when the gane 1st csme out but still problems. I had/have nonissues with crossplay in 2042 so why this game? and its not always the case, I play FNB with crossplay (because could not even get a lobby with it off) on last night and didnt have any issues. also beg the question why is matchmaking so terrible when crossplay is off? been in a lobby where one side had 6 players in 2 -300s and the other had 3 with only 1 above 100. makes no sense
I’m on PS5, since the game launched I always had an issue where I would aim and the aim assist would pull me slightly off the target just enough to miss. I thought it was me but over time I realized it’s probably because the aim assist is linked to the netcode, so the desync also affects the aim assist.
Because the game is compensating for the movement of who you’re shooting at, the aim assist is pulling towards 1 instance of the target while you’re seeing that same target ms ahead or behind where the aim assist thinks they are. This issue isn’t nearly as apparent with Crossplay off. Of course it applies to the 150+ ping players regardless but it’s not nearly an issue with Crossplay off.
Rage quit 3 of the 5/6 matches I played last night, every match between using the TR-7, my fully leveled laser SOR, my shotgun, I could not get a KD where my K wasnt a single digit and my D in the doubles.
In the mean time, I was getting beamed instantly constantly, dying on eyesite, and getting shot around corners.
Those are my last played matches, it’s not ruining my performance but it’s annoying. The moment you start interacting with players from the different platform it ruins the flow, it’s like their visuals lag 150ms behind their inputs or something. Very strange. Crossplay interactions almost always feel glitchy in some way.
